Future of listed building unknown as it goes up for sale
- Credit: Archant
A listed building once used to educate youngsters on the environment is up for sale.
Goblin Combe Environment Centre is on the market after North Somerset Council deemed the former school building surplus to requirements.
The authority bought the grade-II listed building, in Plunder Street, more than a decade ago to safeguard the future of the site, which has been used for a variety of nature education activities for children and vulnerable adults.
The council’s asking price for the building is unknown, but the property – which has been gathering dust for months – is listed as an asset of community value, meaning it must be offered for sale to community groups before private offers can be considered.
A council spokesman said: “We are initially looking for interest for community uses but if there is no interest from such groups at a reasonable price we will then widen the marketing out for alternative uses.”

A Cleeve Parish Council spokesman told the Mercury it was unhappy with North Somerset’s decision to sell up.
They said: “We were saddened to hear the environment centre was closing as it was an asset used by many.
- 1 Disruptions to your journey by car across North Somerset
- 2 GP surgery plans labelled 'unacceptable' by councillors
- 3 Temporary closure of Weston's Marine Lake
- 4 Owners address concerns raised over Weston donkeys during heatwave
- 5 Popular Weston restaurant closes after nearly 60 years
- 6 Opening date announced for new supermarket
- 7 Garden waste service disrupted due to 'ongoing crew shortages'
- 8 Green Party candidate elected to council following by-election win
- 9 Covid warning issued in North Somerset
- 10 Water Adventure Play Park switches water on again
“Our hopes for the building would be something that embraces the community, environment and be of interest to the younger generations.
“The building forms a big part of Cleeve’s history and we hope whoever takes on the venture is able to appreciate the buildings significance.”
The environment centre is being marketed by Debbie Fortune Estate Agents, which says the building is in need of a revamp.
The marketing documents say: “The property comprises a detached grade-II listed Victorian building, constructed of local stone elevations with a slate tiled roof.
“A former village school, the premises has been leased out for a number of years for commercial use and more recently as a study centre. The property has been unoccupied for some months and is now in need of extensive modernization or renovation.
“The building is to be offered initially for purchase or rent by a community group.
“During this period community organisations are invited to tender their offers in writing.”

It is that time of the month when Taylored Expressions sneak peeks some fabulous new products, all of which will be available for purchase on Thursday. This month my illustrations are featured in four new petite stamp sets. The first one, Happy New Home, I used to create this card:
The set includes three little homes, matching sentiments, and coordinating dies for the houses. For my card I used the tall house image and colored it orange… to match my childhood home. Yes, I lived in an orange house for many years. My dad got the paint for a special price at the local hardware store. ;)
The main panel and scalloped mat were die cut using dies from the Color Block Cutting Plate. I added some dots of White Opal Liquid Pearls, a few sequins, and a flair badge as embellishments.
Taylored Expressions is celebrating Release Week with some fabulous giveaways! Visit the TE Blog each Sneak Peek Day this week for details on how you can enter to win.
Thanks for visiting, crafty friends! If you'd like to see more projects and new product information, please head over to the TE Blog for a complete blog roll of our participating designers!

How to Troubleshoot Rearview Camera Issues ?
Are you having problems with your rearview camera? There are numerous people who experience problems with their rearview cameras. Backup cameras are imperative for protecting other drivers, pedestrian, and even children on the road. These cameras are good for eliminating the blind spots and informing you about the obstacles behind your vehicle.
With the passage of time, problems can occur in the functioning of the cameras. The issues can be divided into 3 main categories image quality problem, display issues, and other problems. For rear view camera issues trouble shooting, you must first understand the problem. In this write-up, we have listed few of the ways to fix the most common problems.
Having Trouble with Image Quality
Most of the people have trouble with the quality of the image. In such situations, the camera works perfectly, but the monitor is not working correctly. If you encounter a similar problem, here is the information you need for rear view camera issues trouble shooting.
Checking the Lens
One of the things that you need to check when you see a grainy or smudged image is the camera. The elements, such as rainwater, mud, dust, and dirt can cause the camera to deteriorate and restrict its view. Even strong winds and bad weather can lead to reducing the quality of the image. In order to fix this problem, you need to clean the camera lens using a clean cloth.
If your monitor displays grainy picture, it indicates that there is a problem with the wireless system. The reason can be weak signals as most of the cameras have a range of 150 feet. So, if there are hurdles in between the transmitter and the receiver, you might want to consider bringing both the parts closer.
Sometimes the rearview camera stops working and there is no image displayed on the monitor. If you are experiencing an issue like this, then there must be a problem with the connection or monitor.
Checking the Connection
In some cases, both the camera and the monitor is working perfectly. The problem is that they are not communicating and it could be because of the connection. You will have to ensure the wires are plugged in correctly.
Moreover, there could be an issue with the pairing of the transmitter and the receiver. All the systems have different pairing and unpairing techniques. It is recommended to check the user manual for instructions.
Monitor Is Not Connected
Another reason for experiencing this problem is that the monitor is not connected properly. Most of the times, the wiring become loose or the wires are not plugged in correctly with the power source. If the monitor still doesn’t work, this means that the monitor is faulty. You will have to replace the monitor.
In the end, once you know the root cause of the problem, you can easily resolve it. When you follow these tips for rear view camera issues trouble shooting, you must be careful. If you have cannot do it yourself, you can always take professional help.

HOUSING: a multi-sector response
Housing is one of the most pressing challenges for communities all across Wisconsin. Hundreds of thousands of residents pay more than 50% of their income every month on housing - a fact that is alarming but not surprising, given the rapid increase of housing costs over the last several decades.
A lack of housing impacts individuals and families, but it also impacts communities as a whole. Without adequate housing, businesses cannot find enough employees, health outcomes decrease, school performance lags, and more of our neighbors are focused on basic survival, rather than thriving, growing, or creating together.
In 2022, Wisconsin Partners launched a series of conversations about housing from a multi-sector, asset-based, and community-centered perspective. We wanted to figure out how our wide array of members could work together.
In the process, we heard about success stories around the state: examples of everyday people and community-based institutions working on local-level solutions. We have gathered them below in the hopes that others will be just as inspired as we have been, and that these ideas will continue to spark innovative, collaborative, effective solutions.
Do you have case studies to add? Please email email@example.com - we would love to feature more efforts!

Tobey Maguire Settles Underground Poker Lawsuit for $80,000
11/28/2011 AT 03:00 PM EST
The Spider-Man star has agreed to pay a portion of the $311,000 he allegedly won from convicted Ponzi schemer Brad Ruderman in high-stakes underground poker games.
The settlement is spelled out in court papers filed by former Ruderman clients who claim that some of their lost millions ended up in Maguire's chip stacks at no-limit Texas Hold 'em games with a $100,000 buy-ins.
A trustee for Ruderman's debtors says he disagrees with Maguire that $80,000 is the actual amount at issue, but that the settlement makes sense when factoring in the cost and complexity of going forward in court.
As part of the settlement, Maguire contends he had no knowledge of getting money from a Ponzi scheme "or any other improper activity" and that the actor broke no laws.
Ruderman is serving more than 10 years in federal prison after pleading guilty in 2009 to five criminal counts including investor fraud and wire fraud.

Mea Culpa is the first episode of Alias to begin the internal, psychological exploration of Arvin Sloane.
The episode also feels positioned at a crossroads point for the first season in terms of where the overarching narrative is going. Everything at this stage is waiting for the next big plot shoe to drop. The Rambaldi mythology, now established, is completely left behind after Time Will Tell brought into play what will become the key text of Alias’ mytharc going forward; the suspicions around Jack being a KGB mole remain hovering in the ether; Will’s investigation into Danny’s death is at the point Will is capable of contextualising everything across the last nine episodes to a tech support guy; and the SD-6 probe into a mole which has circled for the last three episodes remains ongoing. Mea Culpa isn’t quite the episode to pull the trigger on the next stage for all of these plotlines, but it begins the first tentative steps in that direction.
Time Will Tell is another important episode of Alias when it comes to establishing and contextualising the mythology of the show and how it directly relates to, particularly, our protagonist Sydney Bristow. With a title both figurative and literal, this episode brings into focus Alias’ growing preoccupation with time, and just how directly the past influences the present.
Jeff Pinkner’s first script for the series, continuing the steady roll out of Bad Robot creatives who will all go onto major recognisable projects in the future, operates very much as a sequel to the third episode Parity, and the pre-credits sequence of A Broken Heart. Time Will Tell very much illuminates just how Alias, while a highly serialised show, remains indebted to its principal influence, The X-Files, in the structural manner it approaches the mythology at the show’s heart – the search for the work of 15th century ‘prophet’ Milo Rambaldi. While the previous four episodes all continued the ongoing narrative sub-plots and storylines for the characters and the complicated double-agent situation Sydney finds herself in, only two of them concern Rambaldi, and in both cases he is very much background.
JACK BRISTOW: There are rules, Sydney!
SYDNEY BRISTOW: Then you break them!
Alias is steadily building toward a larger point of revelation across its first season, as the title of Reckoning alludes to. Thematically, the journey of super-spy double agent Sydney Bristow continues to be about her own understanding of the bigger picture, and her place within it.
The complexities of the narrative inside JJ Abrams show even facilitate, starting with Reckoning, a change to the recap preamble of the series’ concept. I’ve talked about how Alias doesn’t just employ a ‘previously’ recap akin to many other TV shows, but starts with a bigger explanation and contextualisation of the broader story the serialised narrative is telling. Here, Alias expands that recap by weaving the scene-setting around the four key characters at the outset of the series – Syd, her handler Michael Vaughn, her boss Arvin Sloane and her father Jack Bristow, the recap showing their faces and names just in case the people at the back AREN’T QUITE GETTING IT. I can’t recall another show which ever quite felt the need to prime the audience week by week with so much detail before even the previously recap.
Perhaps the choice was made because even just six episodes in, Alias is already starting to grow quite knotty and dense, and the show hasn’t even scratched the surface yet in many ways. Reckoning has a multitude of narratives bubbling away – Syd’s suspicion that Jack may have been working for the KGB, Vaughn and the CIA’s slow-burning backdoor hack into SD-6 established in the previous episode Doppleganger, Francie’s uncertainty about her boyfriend Charlie, Will’s investigation into the Kate Jones mystery. That’s just for starters, before any of the main episodic missions for Sydney are even covered, though really so far they have largely just been window-dressing around which the series can delve into these deeper storylines and building character arcs.
Reckoning, if anything, feels like the first example of what would have been a traditional two-part episode of a more conventional network TV show version of Alias.
ANNA ESPINOSA: I heard about your fiancé. Very sad. I thought perhaps it was a security execution sanctioned by your employer. Maybe you said something in your sleep you shouldn’t have. But then why would you be here in service for the men that killed your true love?
If Alias, in its opening two introductory episodes, flirted with the idea that the show is a post-Cold War espionage thriller attempting to understand and resolve the consequences of the 20th century’s longest-running and defining ideological conflict, then Parity absolutely goes for broke and seals the deal with a loving kiss.
The third episode, the first not penned directly by series creator J.J. Abrams, cements and solidifies existing, introductory concepts and brings in key new ones which will help frame Alias as a show with a sense of unique, genre identity. In many respects, Alex Kurtzman-Counter (as he was named originally, before losing the Counter) and Roberto Orci’s script is one of the most crucial in Alias’ first season. It is the first episode which directly picks up from the cliffhanger established in the previous episode. It introduces one of the most interesting (and underused) characters the show ever gave us. And, most importantly, it truly kickstarts the mythology Alias would embrace, grapple with, struggle with, and never truly satisfy its audience with over the next five years. Parity is a key, early touchstone for Abrams’ series.
Alias arrived at a fascinating point when it came to television. The year was 2001 and a lot was changing in the ether around it. JJ Abrams, at this point best known as the writer of Harrison Ford weepie Regarding Henry, Michael Bay blockbuster Armageddon and show-runner of late 90’s teen hit drama Felicity, was nowhere near the producing and directing Hollywood totem he would become. His production house, Bad Robot, had not yet become the nascent Amblin of its generation. And, just nineteen days before the pilot, ‘Truth Be Told’, aired… 9/11 happened.
Abrams’ spy series already had some interesting cache behind it. Alias was a show that emerged on ABC with the intention of riding into the 21st century with a fresh storytelling model. The most successful and important TV shows of the 1990’s had almost all built their success on an episodic, network model of storytelling; 22-26 episode seasons with plenty of stand-alone stories which would serve the show well in syndication. In everything from Quantum Leap through to The X-Files, show-runners moving from the 1980’s into more of a Golden Age of television, in which some of the most key writers in both TV and cinema of the next few decades would emerge, had cleaved to the way it had been done for years.
It would immediately strive for an aesthetic which would tap into a deep reservoir of retro-futurism, both aesthetically and in terms of production. Abrams and his staff came out of the gate leaning heavily into the kind of serialisation most shows in the 1990’s just didn’t do, bar a few trend-setting exception we’ll return to. The concept was both high and complex – female super-spy Sydney Bristow would find herself learning the covert CIA branch she had been working for, SD-6, was in truth the arm of a worldwide crime syndicate, and would work as a double-agent to bring down the enemy from within. Episodes would end on a cliffhanger every week and fold into each other. A surfeit of character and narrative mysteries would propel Syd’s journey along, not to mention a curious central, underlying occult and arcane mythology which tipped the show away from action-thriller and more toward science-fiction.

Lenovo’s new ‘IdeaPad Yoga’ convertible tablet ‘more flexible than yoga instructor’Published On: Wed, Oct 10th, 2012 | Tech Business | By BioNews
Lenovo has unveiled a new range of ‘convertible’ devices running on Microsoft’s latest operating system, including a laptop with a hinged screen that is more flexible than a yoga instructor.
Three new models, named the IdeaPad Yoga 13, Yoga 11, IdeaTab Lynx, ThinkPad Twist, which run using Windows 8 computers, have been launched for both consumer and business purpose.
The Yoga, which was first previewed at the Consumer Electronics Show last year, looks like a regular laptop, until you start pushing the screen back.
The Yoga, which will come in two flavors-the Yoga 13 comes with Intel processors (Core i3 or i5), a 13.3-inch display, and Windows 8 Pro, will start at 1,099 dollars, the report said.
Another tablet, the ThinkPad Twist is a modern take on the old tablet PC with a new operating system.
According to the report, Lenovo announced the Windows 8 Thinkpad Tablet 2 a few weeks ago and is now announcing a similar tablet with a dockable keyboard called the Lynx.
The Lynx is a tablet with an 11.6-inch screen, available with a keyboard that connects to it.

Captain Ron Vlaar is giving Jores Okore moral support during his rehabilitation from knee surgery having faced the same gruelling recovery battle himself.
Okore had an operation on his right leg in London last month after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament just weeks into his Villa career.
Vlaar can sympathise with the Danish defender, having suffered the severe injury to both knees during his playing days at Feyenoord in Holland.
The Dutch international made a full recovery and is gradually improving his form after an up-and-down first year in the Premier League last season.
Okore got hurt during an innocuous challenge in the September defeat to Newcastle, just his fourth appearance since arriving in the summer.
Vlaar had been impressed with Okore’s early impact at the club and wants to help his young central defensive colleague along the road to recovery.
He takes his responsibility as captain very seriously indeed and also supported Gary Gardner as he battled back from a similar knee problem.
“Jores is so unlucky with his injury,” said Vlaar.
“I think he did really great in the games he played. I know what he’s going through and I hope that if we can have good results it will help him feel better.
“We try to help him as much as we can. He has to go on. It’s going to be a long way but he’s going to come back stronger.
“I will talk to him, I talked to Gary Gardner last year. It’s little things, you have to try to give yourself a good feeling.
“Make yourself happy even if it’s hard, because it’s a way of helping yourself recover on your own.
“You do have to do things on your own but we’ll try to help him as much as we can.”
Okore is out for around nine months and Vlaar, who was sidelined for more than twice that period, has told his team-mate his return will be well worth the wait.
Vlaar remembers the joy of getting bumps and bruises in training and matches because it signalled that he was finally back in business.
“What I remember from the first time I played again – and for me my first official game was after 22 months or something like that – was the feeling when you got a kick on your ankle or something, the feeling of playing again.
“It was ‘Oh, yes, I’ve played again, I’ve got a bruise on my knee there or something – that feels really great!’.
“You know you’ve been playing again and that feeling makes you so happy. You’ve worked so hard and it’s such a long time to come back.
“He’s going to come back very strong. A lot of it is mentally, and that’s where we have to help him, because sometimes it will be difficult.”
Meanwhile, scans have revealed Jack Grealish’s injury is not serious and the teenage winger will be able to continue his loan with Notts County.
Grealish took a blow to his ankle in County’s win over Crewe, but has been pencilled in for a return in the League One clash at Swindon next Friday.

Today actually feels like spring. Warm and sunny when the sun shines, with short bursts of rain when it showers. I've not been out for the last two days, so today I enjoyed some riverside walking. All of the lovely bits of riverbank which have been underwater all winter have now fully re-emerged and the world looks so much brighter.
I have actually been out to the river twice today. My morning walk managed to coincide with the one shower of the day, so instead of my expected (and much looked-forward-to) sit on a sunny pier, I got to sit on my little wooden island and get rained on. It was still lovely though. Not at all cold out and I love seeing the raindrops hit the river. When Dan came home from work it was lovely and sunny again, so we went back to the river and I had pink lemonade.
This is my favourite spot. A little wooden pier on the river. I like to sit here whenever it is relatively dry. I come up with quite a lot of stitchy plans here.
I brought Threnody with me this morning, but had to put her away when the rain started :( Hoping to take my Blythes out bit more now the weather is improving.
I'm working on a small quilt this evening. Hoping to finish the top very soon.

Note :The article below describes a variety of fun outdoor painting projects that can successfully be done indoors by anyone. For more information, please contact Debbie Zimmer, paint and color expert for the Paint Quality
Institute, by reply email or by calling 215-962-5551. Thank you.
Submitted by Debbie Zimmer
of Paint Quality Institute
Spring House, Pa — Even when the weather’s too hot for exterior painting,
you can still do some “outdoor” painting indoors, suggests Debbie Zimmer,
design expert with the Paint Quality Institute.
“Just focus on fun items like birdhouses, mailboxes, and planters that can
be colorfully painted in the comfort of your home, then moved outside later
on,” she says.
The most straightforward approach is to give these “satellite” items the
same color treatment as your home’s exterior. If your house is painted
green and beige, for example, you can use the same color scheme on your
outdoor elements to create a totally coordinated look.
But if your taste trends more toward tutti-frutti and less to plain vanilla,
you can have even more fun painting these items. They all take on even
greater personality when given more whimsical treatment, the quirkier the
Take a birdhouse, for example. Why shouldn’t your fine-feathered friends
have a look all their own? And why not in showy colors as vibrant as their
plumage? You can use paint to celebrate their presence with bright colors
and interesting patterns that mirror their own natural beauty.
Focused instead on your mailbox? Then adopt a color scheme that sets yours
apart from the crowd. If you’re patriotic, why not add some stars and
stripes? If you like gardening, paint some colorful blooms on your box.
Like sports? Why not embellish your mailbox with your favorite team’s
Planters, too, can benefit from creative treatment. Choose paint color that
enhances the flowers or foliage they house. For extra pizzazz, embellish
your planters with appealing patterns and designs.
Every one of these items takes on even more panache when imaginatively
constructed. If you’re handy with a hammer, why not build a birdhouse,
mailbox, or planter that resembles the house you live in? Or, create a
custom piece appropriate to your locale, or one that reflects a personal
passion, hobby, or interest.
Whatever form your outdoor items take, you’ll want to protect all your
handiwork with the most weather-resistant exterior paint. According to
Zimmer, that typically means using a top quality coating made with 100%
“Paints and coatings made with 100% acrylic are extremely durable,
fade-resistant, and flexible enough to expand and contract in extreme
temperatures,” she says. “As a result, they can protect outdoor creations
from the elements for many years to come.”
Once you complete your colorful craft items and place them out of doors, you
can be sure they’ll bring a smile to the faces of all who see them. And,
since they’ll be a great reflection of your own creative talent, one of the
biggest of those smiles will be yours!

Institute website at paintquality.com, or go to blog.paintquality.com.

The Parish Partnership were able to submit an agreed report before the Advent deadline, which was a great achievement. Thank you to those who have put in such a lot of work. It was discussed at the last PC meeting at St Anne Line. We await feedback from the Director.
WOODFORD AND WANSTEAD PARISH PARTNERSHIP: PLAN FOR DIOCESE ADVENT 2019
As one of the largest Partnerships in the Diocese, in terms of Mass attendance and Catholic population, we have met many times since December 2018 to understand, pray and reflect on the asks of us in the Diocesan Vision Document.
The Parish Councils are engaged and focused to enable positive co-operation and to strengthen the relationships within the Partnership. We have got to know each other better, we have identified common goals and are learning to work together. At the same time, we are not of one mind, we are listening to each other, we are finding areas of common ground and we are moving ahead at our own pace.
In relation to renewal, we are all of one mind about the importance of young people. We therefore have a desire to employ a Partnership Youth Co-ordinator in 2020, and are working together to agree the essential elements of our vision for their role.
We have started to work together in other areas. Each Parish has shared links to the Partnership, including minutes and Diocesan documents. Each Parish shares information about each other’s events on their websites:
We have identified other areas for joint working, including:
- Partnership calendar (this is being merged and integrated using a computer driven event calendar)
- social events
We have also had a meeting about the Landings programme and are considering the possibility of the extent to which we might work together on it.
In terms of the structure for the future, there are different visions among the three Parishes. Two envisage the Parishes working alongside each other in a cooperative manner and one envisages the three Parishes working in closely integrated fashion with a view to a merger. Mindful of the likely timeline of 10-15 years for the restructuring, and also that one of our Parishes is served by the Franciscans, we believe that our working together as a Partnership on the strands of renewal stands us in good stead when the time comes to make the decisions needed for restructuring. We believe these matters can be addressed effectively at a later date when things are clearer and we are used to working together on a practical basis.

We will tell you about the culture of using marijuana. We will discuss the state policy regarding medical marijuana. It will be interesting and varied.
As you know, the therapeutic use of the plant is becoming more and more widespread. It’s hard to argue that home grow is the safest and most regular source of inexpensive flowers. What’s more, growing marijuana for personal use often puts too many buds at your disposal.
Although the legalization of cannabis is sweeping the planet, there are not many easy-to-read materials for beginners on the web. Therefore, our site claims to be an easy-to-read resource describing your actions and the necessary materials from starting a grow to harvesting, so that those who wish can grow inflorescences in any suitable conditions – even in a shoe niche or a case from a system unit.
The editors of the site are interested in feedback on your personal experience – whether you are a professional grower or growing your first bush. For any suggestions, comments or questions, please contact us directly!

Blockchain in Smallholder Farming: Sowing the Seeds of Growth
Chain Business Insights' new eBook by Co-founder and Research Principal, Ken Cottrill titled Blockchain in Smallholder Farming: Sowing the Seeds of Growth investigates how blockchain combined with agricultural technologies, such as precision farming could help improve productivity significantly, lift millions of smallholder farmers out of poverty and bolster the world’s food supply.
Population growth, climate change and geopolitical unrest are putting pressure on food production – a significant amount of which comes from small farms, especially in developing countries. At the same time, smallholder farmers are challenged by rampant corruption in the supply chain, and do not have access to adequate finance and insurance and hence the resources needed to improve yields. Blockchain could support new business models that help smallholders to overcome these barriers, adapt to changing climate and the resultant shift in production patterns, improve efficiency and gain access to world agricultural markets.
Driven by the substantial global business opportunity, several vendors are introducing blockchain-based innovations in smallholder farming. Blockchain in Smallholder Farming: Sowing the Seeds of Growth contains case studies about the use of the technology in growing cocoa beans in New Guinea and Indonesia as well as cotton in Haiti. The eBook references potential use cases including coffee and wheat produced in Kenya, and rice produced in Viet Nam. It also includes profiles of companies that are already engaged in proof of concept projects in this sector, including in microfinance. Some of this work will likely come to fruition over the next year, but the widespread adoption of blockchain in smallholder farming is further away.
Blockchain in Smallholder Farming: Sowing the Seeds of Growth offers a snapshot of blockchain’s potential, and the broader implications for global agribusiness. These insights should be of interest to stakeholders across agricultural supply chains. Among them are farm organizations, food manufacturers and retailers, providers of services and farm inputs (substances for controlling crop pests and fertilizing soil), transportation and logistics companies, government agencies and NGOs.

Why Jennifer Lopez’s Super Bowl Makeup Took 10 Hours
Jennifer Lopez is a world-renowned superstar who is famous for doing it all – from dancing in sky-high heels to singing her hit songs. Lopez has been in the entertainment industry for the better part of two decades and is still killing the game.
Most recently, Lopez performed during the Super Bowl 2020 Halftime Show, and while her performance was noteworthy for many reasons, lots of fans couldn’t get enough of her glowy, sultry beauty look.
Recently, Lopez’s makeup artist opened up about how he prepped Lopez’s face for the big day and the reasons why it took a full 10 hours to get perfectly Super Bowl-ready.
Jennifer Lopez is known for her ‘glow’
Ever since she first burst onto the scene in the mid-nineties, Jennifer Lopez has been making waves with her undeniable beauty and sense of style.
Although Lopez experimented with a lot of different looks early on in her career, she quickly found one particular beauty look that works particularly well for her and she’s been rocking it ever since. The J-Lo “glow” refers to the ethereal way that her skin seems to glow from within, no matter what the season might be.
For her signature glowy beauty look, Lopez favors lots of bronzer, highlighter, and cream-based products that enhance her skin. Many different celebrity makeup artists have offered up tutorials to eager fans who want to replicate Lopez’s glow, with most of them recommending that fans perfect their skin prior to using any products.
Still, although many fans and celebrities have tried to pull off their own version of Lopez’s look, there’s little doubt that she is the master of the sunkissed “glow.”
What inspired Jennifer Lopez’s makeup artist?
For her Super Bowl Halftime Show performance, fans expected that Lopez would step on stage rocking a version of her signature beauty look. Still, she shocked everyone when she stepped out wearing a bold smoky eye that accented her sparkly costume and highlighted hair.
Although her look might have looked relatively effortless, as Lopez’s makeup artist recently revealed, it was an all-day prep job.
Scott Barnes, who has been working with Jennifer Lopez for years, opened up, stating that getting his client ready for her performance was a labor-intensive task that started at 10 a.m. that morning.
Barnes admitted that he looked to nineties-era supermodels for the inspiration behind her Halftime Show look, makeup that would look stunning with the glittery leather outfits that would be so central to the performance.
What products did Jennifer Lopez’s makeup artist use?
Barnes revealed that he arrived at Lopez’s house around 10:30 am on the morning of the Super Bowl, and worked on her makeup sporadically throughout the day, as Lopez did other prep work for her big moment.
According to Barnes: “She was doing some rehearsing, we were doing fittings, and then nails started, and hair, and then makeup. But I didn’t finish it yet, so I left the house around 3 p.m. with a police escort.”
Barnes went back to doing her makeup around 4:30 p.m. and worked through until 5:30 p.m., at which point Lopez was ready to start doing run-throughs for the show.
As for what products he used on Lopez for the Halftime Show performance, Barnes revealed that he favored products from Marc Jacobs, including Marc Jacobs bronzer and a Marc Jacobs gel eyeliner that he claims “saved his life” and made Lopez’s smoky eye perfectly bold.
Barnes also used some products from his own line, including lip glosses and a highlighter kit that he claims is “glowy and showy.”
Certainly, the work that Barnes put in made Lopez’s beauty look for the Halftime Show truly iconic.

I'm finally done with my Trial and Error bookmark. It actually turned out better than I thought it would. Blocking helped a lot. There are a couple of things that made it into this bookmark I'll probably try on other projects later on. It could be better proportioned for a better over-all look, but as my boss pointed out "put it in a book and I bet it will mark your place just fine."
My sister's birthday is coming up very soon. I have been talking about making her a runner for a side table she has for several years but have never even gotten started on it. So this year I am determined to get it done! The plan was to actually have it completed by her birthday. I thought about the colors of the living room and chose a couple of colors that I thought would work, Lizbeth 654, Navy Blue and 655, Wedgwood Lt in size 20. I got started on it and decided to get the actual dementions to finish it in a day or so.
Okay, these colors would have been great - in her other house. She recently moved and is painting her livingroom in shades of green.
She loaned me the paint chips of the colors she's going to use so I could find out which thread colors would work. Lizbeth 686 and 688, Seagreen Lt and Dk are almost exactly the colors her livingroom is going to be. That meant I had to order thread. Of course, I had to order more than those two colors, right? I've ordered several more colors, including the Peacock Blue that Isdahara suggested to Handy Hands. This does mean, though, that her gift won't be done in time for her birthday. But it will be done shortly after the thread arrives, really!
It was commented on by several readers that the end of my post from February 15th was not readable - well, Kathy said it was in Wingdings! I've looked back in the edits of this post and can't see any change in the font, so I don't know how to correct it. Kathy copied it into a text program and changed the font so she was able to read it. If anyone else has that problem let me know. In future posts I guess I can delete and right it over and see if that helps.
I think I have a visitor but I haven't gotten a good look yet. Jarek has assured me that Ryan will come out and meet me soon but wants to investigate the house first. I did get a glimpse of a glimmering tail in my philodendron this morning, but that was all. I guess I'll have to have a little patience.

My little 6 month old is at that stage where anything and everything ends up in her mouth. If I look away for a second she can grab a nearby magazine and chow down. Her first two little teeth appeared just the other day and this makes chomping down on something even more necessary to maintain her sunny personality (that is, if she doesn’t flop over).
The Issue: The teethers on the mainstream market look like they could fit the bill, but the many of them still have a major problem. The little plastic teethers, usually a soft, gummable plastic filled circle with water and cute decorations, are usually made from a plastic that has potentially dangerous chemical properties. Soft Vinyl plastics, called PVC, can have harmful additives called Phthalates. These are hormone-disrupting chemicals that are used as plastic softeners, which make teethers, well, so chewable. When administered at high doses to animals, PVC with phthalates caused increased cancer rates and damage to the liver, kidneys and other organs. PVC can also contain lead, which is known to cause developmental delays in children. Several years ago, the Consumer Product Safety Commission asked manufacturers to voluntarily eliminate phthalates from toys, and many of the large toy retailers stopped selling products containing phthalates. Some companies are phasing out the use of phalates in the near future. Many products still contain high levels of PVC with phthalates, and many retailers (including some chain drugstores) still sell these products. A particular problem with teethers and little baby toys with phthalates is the chemicals are leeched more quickly in a babies bloodstream by the babies’ chewing action.
Non Toxic Kids recommends: Buy natural wood (finished with beeswax polish) or organic cloth teethers from a reputable company. Two of my favorites are http://www.rosiehippo.com/ and http://www.novanatural.com/. Both retailers have many different kinds of teethers, rattles and hand toys for you to choose from.
If you must buy plastic, buy only teethers and baby toys (all toys, if possible, for that matter!) that clearly state they are phalate or PVC free. I must say, though, that I find it hard to simply trust this labeling.
Mama Tested: My baby girl chews on a Cherry Rattle from Nova Naturals. It is chunky and seems satisfying to her. Although, sometimes she cries when she bites it too hard, and I wish we had a cloth one for her as well. Haba Toys, based in Germany where the European Union has WAY higher standards to control chemicals in toys, has a great line of rattles and teeters. We have Flapsi, a cute hand rattle and perfect for her little mouth. Haba Toys are available at many independent, smaller toy stores and online at http://www.moolka.com/. We also have Flori, which is a cool clutch toy flower with wood petals. I think I like playing with this one as much as she does (maybe I shouldn’t admit that).

Tony Blair insisted that oil had nothing to do with it:
"...the oil conspiracy theory is honestly one of the most absurd when you analyse it...It's not the oil that is the issue, it is the weapons..."
Of course there were no weapons, just a great deal of oil.
Government papers now reveal just how much the oil industry was licking its lips at the prospects in Iraq. The Independent reports:
“The Foreign Office invited BP in on 6 November 2002 to talk about opportunities in Iraq "post regime change". Its minutes state: "Iraq is the big oil prospect. BP is desperate to get in there and anxious that political deals should not deny them the opportunity.... Whereas BP was insisting in public that it had "no strategic interest" in Iraq, in private it told the Foreign Office that Iraq was "more important than anything we've seen for a long time".”
Yet all the time we were told this was really a humanitarian venture, motivated by the deepest of concerns about the victims of an evil dictator.
Fast forward to 2011, and the United Nations has passed another resolution authorising military action to ‘protect civilians’. Once again, this country is rich in oil and gas.
And once again, the mission that was supposed to be humanitarian becomes an attempt by former colonial powers to overthrow one government and impose another one.
As Simon Jenkins put it in The Guardian:
“Throughout the west there is a desire to relieve people in distress, but when humanitarians arrive with screaming missiles and a clear political agenda, those being attacked are understandably suspicious of motive... The first humanitarian duty to those who are suffering should be to relieve that suffering, not to fight their civil wars, suppress their dictators, partition their countries and destroy their infrastructure. Something has polluted foreign policy.”
It is quite clear that the original decision to establish a ‘no fly zone’ in Libya has become something else entirely. British ‘advisers’ are now on the ground. Cameron, Sarkozy and Obama are calling for ‘regime change’. This is not what the United Nations, nor our own parliament, decided.
Parliament should be recalled and the government held to account.

How could I find out whether a book... has had its copyright renewed? Is there any method other than paying a copyright search company?First of all, you need to know when renewal matters. In the US, books published before 1964 had to get their copyrights renewed at the Library of Congress Copyright Office in their 28th year, or they'd fall into the public domain. Some books originally published outside the US by non-Americans are exempt from this requirement, and in fact some such books had their copyrights restored recently. If you need to know more about the rules for books published outside the US, see this page from the Copyright Office, explaining recent changes in copyright law imposed by GATT. Basically a work is exempt from renewal requirements if all of the following conditions apply:
If you can prove any of these conditions don't apply, and the work was originally published or copyrighted before 1964, then the work had to be renewed in order to stay copyrighted in the US.
Wikipedia has a page on Non-US copyrights that has more information about the details of US copyright restoration from various countries, though I can't vouch for the accuracy of the information there.
Up until 1998, renewed copyrights ran an additional 47 years (hence, 75 years total), rounded up to the end of the calendar year. A copyright extension bill signed that year extended copyrights still in force for an additional 20 years. However, since copyrights from 1922 had already expired, anything copyrighted before 1923 is now in the public domain in the United States, even if its copyright was renewed. Copyrights from 1923 to 1963, if not renewed, and not made exempt from the renewal requirement (see above) have also expired.
There are a few ways to find out whether a copyright was renewed. Some are easier than others; some are more definite in their answers than others.
One easy way to check, sometimes, is just to see if there was any edition published more than 28 years after the original edition, and see if there's a renewal notice in that newer edition. This doesn't always work-- a lot of books simply don't get reprinted-- but if there is such an edition, it can be an easy check to make.
Another way that doesn't involve an exhaustive copyright record search is to write to the author, or their agent or estate, or to the last publisher of the book, and see if they can tell you whether the book's copyright was renewed. Of course, you might not always be able to reach them, and they might not always cooperate, but people on the Net have done this before and found out what they wanted to know. Sometimes, even if the copyright has been renewed, by mailing them you might be able to convince them to let an edition go online anyway.
It's also possible to do a search yourself of the copyright records. For 1978 onward, they're online at the Copyright Office, and below I'll describe how you can search their online records. Copyright records from prior years are now also online in page image form (and sometimes in more convenient form as well).
Copyright records prior to 1978 can also be found in print and microform at the Library of Congress, and at other major libraries around the country, including many Federal Depository Libraries. A few libraries known to have a reasonably full set are the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh, the Free Library of Philadelphia (in microform), the University of Chicago library, and the University of California, Los Angeles.
Since a copyright renewal has to be sometime in the 28th year, you'd look for renewals in the records for the original copyright date plus 27 years and the original date plus 28 years. So if the copyright was originally 1941, you'd look at the volumes for 1968 and 1969 to see if there was a renewal. I've recently been told that occasionally the Library of Congress will be slow in publishing renewals (i.e. some renewals made in December in some years don't actually get published until the following January), so you may have to look in the original copyright date plus 29 years to catch these.
I've done this myself for some books. It's a bit of a cumbersome process-- you have to get to the library, and get the appropriate volumes, and then look up the author and the title-- but it can be done.
Finally, there are also commercial agencies that will also search for you. Their fees may be higher or lower than LOC's, and they might be also able to track down publishers, authors, and heirs for you as well, if needed.
So there are a number of different ways you can go about it, depending on what you're most comfortable with. As I said above, though, if the book is actually out of print and there isn't much in the way of royalties at stake, the original author may well be willing to have an edition go online, whether or not the copyright was renewed, especially if you can show how the online book will give his or her work many more generations of audience.
One important note: remember that if a book contains material previously published elsewhere, that material may still be protected under its own copyright. You can't assume that a book as a whole is in the public domain unless you've determined that the copyrights for the book and for any previously published material included in the book have expired. Note also that materials may not always be in the categories you expect: for example, some pulp fiction "books" were registered as periodicals, and some annual or particularly large "periodicals" were registered as books.
If you simply want to see a book online, and suspect its copyright has expired, you could see if the book has been scanned by a mass digitization service. If it has been scanned, but is not viewable in full, they might be willing to try to clear the book themselves, and turn it on for full view if it appears to be out of copyright. This won't give you a definitive answer on the book's public domain status (since they might be wrong), but it may at least give you full access to the book you want, for little or no cost. Some projects are starting to investigate user-triggered copyright clearance I don't know of any yet that have a formal public mechanism for this, but I will update this page if I hear of any. In the meantime, requests for pre-1964 books that may be out of copyright can be sent to The Online Books Page for public recording, and possible eventual full posting online.
Searching these scans works much like searching the printed volumes as described above. If you're looking for the renewal of a book that was originally published in year X, then you'll need to look for the renewal records in years X+27 and years X+28 (and X+29, if the Copyright Office is running slow). Look up both the title and the authors of the book, in both the January-June sections, and the July-December sections. Also, if portions of the book were originally published elsewhere (such as in a magazine), or includes artwork, there may be separate copyrights for the magazine, earlier book, artwork, or the magazine version of the work. You may therefore have to search renewals in those categories as well.
Failure to find a renewal record here does not necessarily mean that the book is in the public domain. Because of changes in copyright law, books published in 1964 or later, and many books that were originally published outside the US by non-American authors, do not have to register or renew in order to be copyrighted. (See above for details.) Also, it's possible for a number of works by a particular author, or published in a particular magazine, to be covered under one blanket copyright that may or may not mention the individual pieces by name. So when researching the copyright for a particular piece, you should know its author and publication history, and use this information in your record searches as well.
You may also want to check with the original author, or their estate or publisher, if you want to avoid possible problems.
Here's a quick, step-by-step version of how to search the copyright listings, using J. D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye as an example.
Start at the Copyright Catalog search page. You can then look up works by their title, name of author or copyright claimant, or other criteria. The title and name search options are based on prefixes, and there's also a relevance-ranked keyword search. To look up the Catcher in the Rye, for instance, we could select the "Title" option, and then type in
Catcher in the Ryein the search box. (Note that the instructions tell us to omit the initial article, so we left off the "the".) When we hit return or select "Begin Search", we'll see the start of a list of results (which had 63 items in it when I tried this).
Or, we could select the "Name" option, and type in the author's name, last name first. We could, for instance, type in
Salinger, JAt this writing, that produced a list of 49 items. If we wanted to do a keyword search instead, we could select the keyword option and enter something like
salinger catcher ryeBut note that this turns up many more items (over 3000 when I tried it), including those that only match some of the keywords. This can be useful for popping a possibly relevant result up to the top, particularly if you and the Copyright Office records don't agree on the exact forms of title and author names. But you probably won't be able to do an exhaustive scan of the results, and if you put in common words like "in" and "the", it may take a very long time for the search to complete.
A more precise form of keyword search is the "Command Keyword" option. Here you'll have to follow the special command keyword syntax, which includes putting things like AND or OR between search terms. If we select that option and try
salinger AND catcher AND ryewe get a much shorter results list (18 when I tried) where only the items with all 3 keywords, spelled exactly as typed, will appear. (If you're checking for the absence of a record, you should do the search in a number of ways to be sure; go through the lists produced by title and author searches, and try a keyword search as well just to be safe.)
The results list will come up in the form of a table, with columns that include "Full Title", "Copryight Number", and "Date" (as well as some other columns in some other searches). If the results list contains more than 25 items, they will be displayed 25 at a time, with "previous" and "next" links to go forward and backward in the list.
To find renewals, look for Copyright Numbers starting with "RE". (One quick way to find many such records is to resort the results by Date (ascending). Since the renewal records tend to be indexed by the date of the of the initial registration, which tends to be prior to 1978, the renewal records will usually appear before other records when you sort by ascending date.)
If you did the search right, and you go through the results list, you should spot a row looking something like this:
|Catcher in the rye. By Jerome David Salinger.||RE0000018341||1951|
So it looks like it's been renewed. The "RE" registration numbers represent a renewal. (If you see "TX", this represents an initial text copyright.)
If I want to see more details about this registration, I select the link that's on the title. I then get a record that looks something like this:
|Type of Work:||Text|
|Registration Number / Date:||RE0000018341 / 1979-01-22|
|Renewal registration for: A00000056070 / 1951-06-11|
|Title:||The Catcher in the rye. By Jerome David Salinger.|
|Copyright Claimant:||Jerome David Salinger (A)|
|Basis of Claim:||New Matter: all matter except two incidents.|
|Variant title:||The Catcher in the rye|
|Names:||Salinger, Jerome David, 1919-|
This tells me that the original copyright started June 11, 1951, that it was renewed January 22, 1979, and that the copyright holder at the time of renewal was J. D. Salinger. The original copyright registration "number" was "A-56070". (The current database pads the registration numbers with zeros. Also, the way they assign these numbers has changed over time; for earlier years, text copyright registrations started with A and renewals with R; in later years, such as the ones covered by this database, text copyrights started with TX and renewals with RE. The new renewal record number, without padding, is "RE18341".) The "Basis of Claim" line means that all of the text except for two incidents is covered by this particular copyright. (I don't know what the two incidents in question are; perhaps they were revised, appeared in an earlier story, or are quotes from another work.)
There are some more advanced techniques that can be used to search the database, but I've found that the techniques above are all you usually need to know.
This should give a basic rundown of how to use the Library of Congress copyright database. You may also be interested in the Library of Congress' Web-based card catalog, which can be useful for researching a book's publication history. For more information on searching the Copyright Office's online records, see their tutorial.

Hi REx Theme
After the last update, most of my products got rejected by Google Merchant Center because of the sale price is set to zero when there is no sale price. How do I fix this?
Hi, can you give a screenshot of the errors reported by Google?
Also, can you give a screenshot of the feed configuration settings and the link to the feed?

Low-Cost Carrier Air Berlin Is Desperately Trying to Find a New Niche
Air Berlin joined One World in March 2012, and with that no more a LCC.
While AB is a Oneworld member they still lack some basic full member features (at least what I'd consider to be a legacy airline feature). Over the last year they improved tremendously e.g. by allowing OW Emerald members access to their 'executive waiting rooms' (not lounges ;-)) without the need to talk to somebody. Some benefits are not well-communicated (e.g. free 'champagne' on short-haul flights for Emeralds).
Two of the main concerns for me are the lack of a intra-European business class (customers seem to expect it, even if it's a Lufthansa-style European business) as well as the lack of shower facilities/lounges. I've seen numerous customers on TATL C flights (mostly AA) connecting to AB in Europe (e.g. FRA) asking for a shower/lounge/... and then being disappointed that even though they booked business they end up in Y.

Infographic Resume For The Creatively Impaired
As a freelancer or job seeker, it is important to have a resume that stands out among the rest — one of the more visually pleasing options on the market today is the infographic resume.
An infographic resume enables a job seeker to better visualize his or her career history, education and skills. FACT!
Unfortunately, not everyone is as talented as the Elliot Hasse (see below), and whipping up a professional-looking infographic resume can be a difficult task for the technically unskilled job seeker (most of us). For those of us not talented in design, it can also be costly to hire an experienced designer to toil over a career-centric infographic.
Luckily, a number of companies are picking up on this growing trend and building apps to enable the average job seeker to create a beautiful resume.
To spruce up your resume, check out these four tools for creating an infographic CV. If you’ve seen other tools on the market, let us know about them in the comments below.

I have trouble playing them in regular play. could you help me guys?
Depending on what mode your playing, it changes.
If on "Level Editor"(how to just test your levels)
I believe the shortcuts are F5, 56, and 57
F5 - normal testing
F6 - 2 player
F7 - battle mode
But if you don't wanna use the shortcut keys, it's always near the top of the editor.
If on "Start Game" (how to play and make a fully working episode)
First open up the world editor(Ctrl+w)
Then make a basic map and fill out everything.(tiles, music, level tiles, ect.)
Now, make a folder inside of your SMBX folder, make sure you put it in worlds, call it whatever.
Now, put your levels in there too.
After your done that, inside the World map editor, make your level tile have the filename of your actual level.
Now you should be able to play your episode!
If you need more help PM me, ~Ly999

People who’ve been to Sanoya Rahmen on King Street either hate it or love it. Sanoya’s menu is quite large with dishes ranging from all types of ramen, curry entrees, chicken katsu, and much more. They serve only water and soft drinks. In my experiences the service is borderline terrible, but some of the dishes make up for the poor service. I only come to Sanoya for two things, the Mabo Tofu Ramen and the gyoza.
In my opinion, Sanoya has the best Mabo ramen on the island and super inexpensive at about $7 a bowl. I hear the noodles are Sun brand noodles made especially for Sanoya, taste fresh, are served al dente, and the serving are so large that you can hardly finish your bowl.
The gravy on the Mabo is my favorite with chunks of ground pork with a whole lot of chili spice. I aways order my Mabo ramen with extra mixed vegetables and this really makes the dish with a heaping pile of fresh veggies like broccoli, cabbage, carrots, etc.
You can’t eat a bowl of Mabo ramen with out some of Sanoya gyoza on the side. The gyoza is pan fried and slightly crisp. It also tasted freshly made with lots of garlic and ginger for flavor.
I’ll keep coming back to Sanoya for the Mabo ramen and you should too if you like spicy noodles and are looking for great prices and huge amounts of food, just don’t expect good service.

The Video format saved on the POWERUP FPV SD card is MOV, which is a Quicktime player format, developed by Apple.
In the IOS App you can download the videos from the airplane directly to the iPHONE through WiFi for viewing and sharing.
The Android App (version 0.8.8) does not support direct download of videos from the airplane to the smartphone at this time. It is recommended to download the videos to your computer via USB cable or by inserting the SD card into the computer. The files are compatible with most computer media players, Quicktime, Windows media player, VLC player, etc.
Most Android smartphones do not support MOV format. If you transfer the videos to an Android smartphone, you will need to use a Video Converter App and convert the videos from MOV to MP4 or another format of your choice.

GO! Ministries was never a concept of man’s engineering. The ministry was born unexpectedly in about five minutes in the church office one day in the year 2000. Our church staff at the time was standing around talking when someone mentioned about the possibility of a missionary organization to serve missionaries on the field through encouragement and practical helps. Another said they had been thinking about the same thing. Pastor Louie felt the confirmation from the Lord and said, “Let’s call it ‘GO! Ministries.'” Missionaries heard about the ministry and began to link up with GO! Growth followed with more missionaries and staff and volunteers. Don Stitzel (now with the Lord) described the ministry of GO! well by saying we are “missionary encouragers.” Review the ministry of GO! throughout this webpage and you’ll see the reason why.
“This was the Lord’s doing; It is marvelous in our eyes.” (Psalm 118:23)
To God be the glory!

Mt. Palemlem: Ilocos Norte / 1271m
Mt. Sicapoo: Ilocos Norte / 2354m
Mts. Simagaysay-Tumarid Traverse: Ilocos Norte / 1560m
Tirad Pass/Traverse – Sagada: Ilocos Sur / 1700+m
Tirad Peak: Ilocos Sur / 1388m
Regional correspondent: Agnes Pinzon (honorary)
Ilocos Region underwent a “hiking renaissance” through the efforts of Agnes and Archie Pinzon and the One Degree Mountaineering Group based in Laoag, with whom PinoyMountaineer.com collaborated to feature various mountains in the region, most notably Mt. Sicapoo. The legacy of this effort can still be seen in the Invitation to Ilocos series that Agnes Pinzon authored.
The Cordillera Range actually extends all the way to Adams, Ilocos Norte, hence this region is full of possibilities. On the other hand there is also a sense of history with Tirad Pass, home of the famed battle.
PinoyMountaineer will seek to document more of the Ilocos Norte mountains, building up on the early attempts of One Degree Mountaineering Group.

BACKGROUND: Scores for cardio-embolic and bleeding risk in patients with atrial fibrillation are described in the literature. However, it is not clear how they co-classify elderly patients with multimorbidity, nor whether and how they affect the physician's decision on thromboprophylaxis. METHODS: Four scores for cardio-embolic and bleeding risks were retrospectively calculated for ≥ 65 year old patients with atrial fibrillation enrolled in the REPOSI registry. The co-classification of patients according to risk categories based on different score combinations was described and the relationship between risk categories tested. The association between the antithrombotic therapy received and the scores was investigated by logistic regressions and CART analyses. RESULTS: At admission, among 543 patients the median scores (range) were: CHADS2 2 (0-6), CHA2DS2-VASc 4 (1-9), HEMORR2HAGES 3 (0-7), HAS-BLED 2 (1-6). Most of the patients were at high cardio-embolic/high-intermediate bleeding risk (70.5% combining CHADS2 and HEMORR2HAGES, 98.3% combining CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED). 50-60% of patients were classified in a cardio-embolic risk category higher than the bleeding risk category. In univariate and multivariable analyses, a higher bleeding score was negatively associated with warfarin prescription, and positively associated with aspirin prescription. The cardio-embolic scores were associated with the therapeutic choice only after adjusting for bleeding score or age. CONCLUSION: REPOSI patients represented a population at high cardio-embolic and bleeding risks, but most of them were classified by the scores as having a higher cardio-embolic than bleeding risk. Yet, prescription and type of antithrombotic therapy appeared to be primarily dictated by the bleeding risk.

About the Hereafter project:
Original bromoil photographs by Rebecca Sexton Larson
As a hopeful artist in kindergarten, my teacher became distressed because I would always color with the black crayon. The teacher went as far as to notify my parents of their concern; one afternoon while making dinner, my mom asked me about my fascination with dark, drawings of landscapes and houses. Without blinking an eye I responded, “it is the only crayon they [my classmates] will let me have.” Crisis averted, I eventually would go on to use the entire Crayola 64 box (with sharpener) along with colorful paint, pencils, chalk and other materials.
As an adult, the color began to quietly fade from my photographic work when I became caregiver for my aging parents. Caring for my mom who had a stroke and a father in the early stages of Alzheimer’s put into perspective the fragileness and shortness of life we all will face. Hereafter body of work echoes the contemplation of the impermanence of life. Frequently dark and isolated, the photographs draw the viewer into reinvented landscapes reflective of whom or what has gone before. The objective is not to directly document physical surroundings but to imagine environments we have yet to discover. The intense contrasting tones of the works illicit a darkly romantic and somber mood mirroring the passage of time, environmental space and mortality.
Working from our mobile Boxfotos Airstream studio, I photograph the woods, abandoned structures and distinctive objects found along the way during my hikes. I digitally construct fictional narrative landscapes and make a finished negative. Back at the studio, using the 19th century bromoil process, each negative is printed onto silver gelatin photographic paper and then bleached to remove the entire silver image – leaving a matrix. The bromoil process involves special brushes used to apply ink to the surface of the damp matrix, often it can take anywhere from three to six hand-applied ink applications resulting in a unique, one-of-a-kind image.

Civilian Response to Active Shooting Training Offered
A presentation at the Binghamton Town Board meeting could save lives in the event of a shooting incident.
The town's Neighborhood Watch program is offering a presentation on Civilian Response to an Active Shooter Situation at 7 p.m. March 14 at the Community Center at 1905 Coleman Road.
During the presentation, there will be some history concerning active attack events and the background science of how people behave in high-stress situations.
The presenters say "What you do matters." They say having effective strategies in mind ahead of an event can dramatically increase the chance of survival. Once an attack begins, authorities say it is too late to develop a strategy.
Due to the serious nature of the material in the presentation, participants have to be at least 18 years old to atttend.

Catherine is a multidisciplinary visual artist whose work possesses unique form and energy, balancing elements and teachings from traditional Woodland art/Anishinaabe art/culture with contemporary techniques and subjects. With many works reflecting postcolonial messages, each piece aims to create synergy and harmony between these different stylings as a visual effort to build and maintain a balanced and peaceful relationship between her Anishinaabe and European ancestry. Many of her works strive to call to attention the importance of our connection to everything in nature, and respect towards it and all our relatives, particularly animals, plants and insects that are overlooked or whose importance and teachings have been altered by colonial attitudes and viewpoints.

I’m backkkkk! So very sorry for the lack of updates but I’ve been a busy (red)boy this past week. CMJ was in town and I hit up a bunch of shows (Jamie Lidell, Nada Surf, Greg Dulli, Martina Topley-Bird of Massive Attack (x2), PVT, Surfer Blood, The Drums, Gold Panda, Jon Hopkins, Four Tet, UNKLE and Gary Numan performing ‘The Pleasure Principle’ in its entirety.) On top of all that I also moderated / participated in a concert photography panel. Almost back to normal now and shall be slowly catching up. In the meantime why don’t you check out the rest of my UNKLE photos on their official site: http://unkle.com. I have the top nine shots in the “official photos” section. Cheers!

There’s a surprising number of websites that will generate random things for you. I asked random.org to pick a year for us, and it chose 1964.
We’ve done 1963 and 1965, and there was a seismic shift between them. So let’s see how 1964 fits in.
We’ve had everything explained to us and there are no mysteries left. Myths have been debunked, and the internet had analysed every cultural detail into meaningless dust.
DJ Shadow finds an unmarked record when cratedigging and throws it in a mix as “unknown song, unknown artist”. Anton Newcombe from Brian Jonestown Massacre picks it out a number of years later, puts it up on youtube, claims it’s from a sixties band called Smile, or Smiles, says it’s a brilliant tune. Says it’s called “I Am Just A Star On A Democratic Flag”.
Maybe it’s Newcombe himself behind the record, sounds like it could be.
DJ Shadow allegedly says “The name of the group is “Smiles”. I think it’s a group from Los Angeles, and the song’s dating back from 1968-69. Unfortunately, the writtings on the record are not in good shape. I’ve never seen another record. I remember Dante came to my house, he saw the record, listened to it. He will never stop digging to find that particular record.”
Someone listens carefully to the surface noise, to see if it’s genuine, or an affectation.
Newcombe denies it’s him. Youtube commenters fail to find any online record of the song. Some claim that Newcombe is not Newcombe. DJ Shadow denies his real name is Clive. Clive Shadow.
I post the song on an intelligent, popular music blog with very well listened contributers, and hope for some news.
The mystery continues, the plot thickens.
At some point last week I think I read a quote from someone, possibly John Peel, saying that 1977 was the best year for popular culture since 1963.
What was so great about 1963 then?
Do you remember where you were when that happened? Did sex really begin between the Chatterley ban and the Beatles’ first LP? Were you at the Stones’ first gig (even though you were a toddler/not yet born at the time)?
By the way, I’m worried we may be using up all the best years… anybody want to suggest a really bad year instead?
One of the downsides of living in a tropical country is that, because it’s always summer, it’s never really summer.
To celebrate the summer solstice, let’s head back to the Summer of Love. Although hate-filled wintry tunes and songs of autumnal indifference from 1967 are welcome too.
Obviously an astonishing time for music. Were you there? Are you sure? How on earth are you going to pick a top 3?
Is it Tuesday already? This challenge is making my life go by too fast.
I’ve been unsure about how far back in time we should go with this. Hearing people’s reminiscences has been every bit as fun as listening to the music, and the further back we go, the fewer of these there’ll be. There’s also the danger that we’ll end up with more of a canonical “best of” list, and fewer personal choices and offbeat discoveries.
But let’s give it a try, and see how it works.
1965. Half a century ago. The year that popular music began to change from light entertainment to the most vibrant contemporary art form? Maybe.
If you were there, tell us about it.
If you weren’t – well, imagine you were…
She Says: Welcome back to our almost weekly series about Japanese Pop, Rock, Punk and Indie. Life and love distracted us from the important things like He Said – She Said, But we are back on schedule again now ! ! ! This week we have a really great variety with tracks from the 1960’s to now and variety of Genres and even a boy band ! ! ! So check out the post ! ! !
“Life and love distracted us from the important things like He Said – She Said” Speak for yourself, dearie! ! !
I have neither ! ! !
Anyway, E, the most common letter in English and reasonably common in Japanese too, fortunately ( what is the most commonly used letter in Japanese ?). Which means there were quite a few artists to choose from. Here are some of them. Continue reading
Many of my favourite films of recent years have been classified as documentaries (The Fog Of War, Cave Of Forgotten Dreams, Inside Job, Beware Of Mr Baker, Nostalgia for the Light, Stories We Tell….) but the one that won the Bafta in that category last year takes the genre into brave, new territory.
In The Act Of Killing, filmmaker Joshua Oppenheimer puts in front of the camera a handful of the gangster* paramilitaries who helped the Indonesian army torture and kill around a million ‘communists’ in 1965/66. He then encourages them to create fictionalised versions of their acts. Being still highly-regarded by the current regime, they are keen to do so and, being fans of Hollywood films, they use the language of the Western, film noir, the musical and the gangster film.
The result is a devastating, upsetting, mesmeric, often surreal, portrait of corrupted humans who are celebrated and still valued by a corrupt government. It is now available on DVD/Blu-ray and I urge you to see it.
*The label ‘gangster’ is worn as a badge of honour, as it is understood to mean ‘free man’. Hence the use of Born Free in the film.

Maybe it's the time of year… But with Valentine's Day coming up retailers are promoting all their best and sultry lingerie and there are some fantastic offers to be found.
As I've already said on here, and I'm going to keep saying it until it happens, I think us ladies should take lingerie back.
Whether you're in a relationship or single, lingerie should be for you. That feeling of slipping into something a little more *ahem* comfortable puts a little glint in ones eye for the remainder of the day. I find a sense of empowerment even. More so than my Wonderwoman pants ever gave me anyway!
Since I've been popping in little lingerie titbits, I thought I'd go all out and admit to trawling the internet last week sourcing out the very best lingerie. A girl can dream...
I came across a great site that I had actually heard of and forgotten about, Figleaves. All the lingerie a girl could ask for.
Besides the above picks I would thoroughly recommend having a pair of good stockings in your drawer such as these
Don't forget the obligatory frilly pants! I have a pair in red.. of course ;)
Will you be taking retailers up on their Valentine's Offers? I reckon why not! Regardless of what day it is or your relationship status. Taking Lingerie back!

Co-founder and lead singer of ’50s rock ‘n’ roll band The Diamonds’ David-Troy Somerville has died in Santa Barbara, California. He was 81.
Canada-native Somerville passed away on Tuesday following a battle with cancer, reported Billboard.
He co-founded rock ‘n’ roll band The Diamonds in 1953 with members of a vocal group who were waiting to audition for a talent show, and became their coach before assuming the role of lead singer.
Throughout the late 1950s and early 1960s, The Diamonds scored 16 hit singles on the US Billboard charts, including popular tracks “Silhouettes”, “The Stroll”, and “Little Darlin”, which was the third best-selling song in America in 1958, just behind Pat Boone’s “Love Letters in the Sand” and Elvis Presley’s classic “All Shook Up”.
In 1961, Somerville quit The Diamonds to focus on a solo career under the name David Troy.
He also had a brief stint in a new group called The Four Preps, but left to form the duo Belland and Somerville with the band’s lead singer Bruce Belland.
Somerville has been honoured by five different music halls of fame – the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, Doo Wop Music Hall of Fame, Vocal Group Hall of Fame, Doo Wop Hall of Fame of America and Rockabilly Hall of Fame.

The computer uses a custom power supply, supplying 6A at 5V (30W total) to the computer and peripherals. The computer uses 3A (15W) with the peripherals using up to 3A. The main computer is housed in a 103 x 293 x 357 mm case. There are eight single-sided printed circuit boards consisting of the Front Panel Board, Connector Board, Timing Board, Decoder Board, Accumulator Board, Program Counter and Adder Board, Memory Board, and IOT Interface Board.
In the late 1970's I was in high school and had found the articles in the school library describing how to build the EDUC-8. You could also buy an EDUC-8 as a kit, but is was quite expensive at $300 (about $1200 today). Not having $300, I asked my Dad and he said no, not surprisingly. I later managed to get all the articles, where they laid in a large envelope for over 20 years. Having recently finished building my Electronics Australia Poker Machine project from 1977, I thought I'd have a go at trying to build an EDUC-8.
You can find all the IC's at very good prices at Unicorn Electronics. I have ordered twice from Unicorn with excellent service. They also have the Intel 2115 as a replacement for the 93415 1Kx1 static RAM chips. I received a D2115A and a D2115AL-2 with 45 and 70 ns delay, respectively. With a 2000 ns clock period, the extra 25 ns of delay should not be a problem.
The original part lists also included many 9000 series equivalents for the 74 series chips. However, note that the 9012 quad NAND gate with open collectors is only a functional replacement of the 7401. It is not pin compatible. The only logic part that doesn't have a 74 series equivalent is the 9602 dual one-shot, which is available from Unicorn Electronics. I initially thought that there was no 74 series equivalent for the 9001 single JK flipflop. After much searching, I bought ten 9001s at US$0.73 each from American Micro Semiconductor, although only one chip is required. They have a US$39 minimum order and shipping to Australia is over US$80 as only UPS Express is used. I had the order sent to a friend in the US to reduce shipping costs. See the bottom of the page if you want to buy my spares. I later found out that the 74105 can be used to replace the 9001. This part is also available from Unicorn Electronics.
For the octal display unit, you can buy the DL750 7-segment LED display from Electronic Surplus Inc. for US$1.95 each. An equivalent for the 9307 Decoder is the 74248 (available from Unicorn). For the keypad, I bought a Numeric Keypad for Vic-20 and C64 computers for $24.95 from eBay seller billc64. These keypads are still available from the seller.
I have had great difficulty finding suitable edge connectors. You can buy 16 way/32 pin 0.150" connectors from RS Compoments (part no. 466-523) for AU$23.10 each (including GST). For the mother and extender boards, 18 connectors are required, for a total cost of AU$415.80. The connectors have solder tabs (not pins) and so should be mounted on a separate board, with wires from the motherboard to the connectors. The ends of two connectors can be cut off with a razor saw with the connectors joined together to make a 32-way connector.
I have also got a quote from Micro-Plastics which will make up 18-way/36-pin 0.150" (3.81 mm) edge connectors with solder pins (not tabs). These can be directly mounted to the mother board with some modification. Using a razor saw, I can cut these down to 16 way and combine two to make the 32-way connectors. To get the up-down pin pattern, I cut off alternating pins from the top row and bend up alternating pins from the bottom row, soldering them to the top row pins. However, these connectors cost AU$334 for one set. If I order three sets, the cost comes down to AU$164 per set. My backup plan is to use a bunch of 0.156" (3.96 mm) 18-way connectors I bought on eBay. I will cut these up into 2-way connectors and rejoin them to make the 0.150" (3.81 mm) spacing. Unfortunately, the 0.006" (0.15 mm) difference builds over 16 pins to 0.09" (2.25 mm), which means the connector cannot be used directly.
The switches were not hard to find. You can buy ten 7101 switches with blue levers from Electronic Parts for Less for only US$4.99 total. The sides which are meant to be soldered to the PCB can be bent out and holes drilled, so that they can be mounted like in the original instructions.
I bought the five 7108 switches from eBay, but these were of the rocker type. You can also buy these switches from Electronics From Golden O or Mike's Tools and Stuff. I have ordered replacement levers from Switches Plus Components Australia for AU$0.88 each (including GST). They also have 7108 switches, but these cost AU$17.60 each (including GST). They don't have the 7108J2CQE2 (black lever) and 7108J2CQE3 (red lever), but you could try other switches, e.g., 7108J2V2BE2 and 7108J2V2BE3. These are like the 7101 switches from Electronics Parts for Less. There is a AU$22 minimum order with Switches Plus, so I have plenty of spares for sale. The shipping cost is AU$13.20.
I have made up a part list and an order list for EDUC-8 builders. These files don't display correctly in browsers due to the tabs I used. Use Wordpad or CWordpad in Windows to view and print these files. I used the Australian versions of RS Components and Farnell for some of the other components. These two companies operate worldwide, so you should be able to order from your home country equivalent. I also used Dick Smith in Australia for all the resistors and some other components. You should be able find these parts from your local electronics store, Unicorn Electronics, RS Components or Farnell.
I have now given up on RCS Design providing the PCB boards and have decided to make them myself. Unfortunately, Silicon Chip, the owners of Electronics Australia, do not have the original artwork. However, the artwork is shown in grey in the component placement diagrams. I scan these at 600 DPI and then import them into my QuickSilver (Interleaf) word processor. Using the Create Poly command, I can retrace the artwork. I will be making this artwork available for free once I have finished drawing them. I have completed the front panel board (E8/F) and I'm now working on the connector board (E8/C).
This is a lot of work, but it also allows me to solve another problem, that of finding suitable connectors. Enlarging the connector artwork horizontally by 4% will allow me to use the 0.156" (3.96 mm) connectors I already have! I bought 143 of these connectors in a lot, so I have plenty of spares to sell to anyone who wants them. These connectors don't have side lobes and are 18-way/36-pin. Thus, they still need to be modified in the same way as the Micro-Plastics connectors.
24 Jan. 2007. The power supply and rear connectors are complete and working! On turn on the power supply measures 5.39 V with no load, increasing to 5.43 V with time. This is as expected (5.3 to 5.4 V). With a 500 mA load, the voltage should drop down to about 5.12 V.
|Putting together the power supply. The transformer and bridge rectifier are next to the fume extractor. The control circuit is on the printer next to a power cable. On the table the cables to the DIN connector are being attached.|
I used a breadboard for the control circuit, instead of a tag-strip as Dick Smith did not have tagstrips. The layout worked out quite well. I later found out that Jaycar has suitable tagstrips. The original design specified a TT800, BFS92, or AY9139 equivalent PNP medium power transistor. An equivalent is the 2N4033 in a TO-39 case, the same as used originally. However, Unicorn sent me a TN4033 which uses a TO-237 case. This is similar to the common TO-92 case, except that a short metal strip sticks out from the top. I used a strip of aluminium left over from the case to make a heatsink for this. This was bent into a circular shape, with the ends being clipped onto the top of the transistor. You can download a pdf file of the circuit pattern I used here. The grid pattern is 15 by 16, using 0.1" spacing. The board dimensions are 47 mm x 45 mm. I used a small Dick Smith prototype board. I'm going to use the small board that was left over for the two extra LEDs on the front panel.
|Power supply. From right to left, transformer, bridge rectifier, reservoir capacitor, control circuit and DIN connectors.|
Unicorn Electronics gave me two different 2N3055 transistors, a TI one from Britain and a Toshiba one from Japan. Hopefully, they'll share the load equally. One change I made to the original design is that I have separated the 16 pin connector in the original design into a DIN6 ID0 (input device zero) connector and a 15 pin D-connector for the switch register, external load address and deposit signals. One reason I did this is the original 16 pin connector is no longer available. This connector was originally designed so that EDUC-8 could read data from a punched tape reader. By separating the connectors, I can have two standard input devices (instead of just one). The 15-pin connector can be connected to a boot ROM, e.g., two 256x4 ROMs, which could allow it to load programs, for example to read and write programs to cassette tapes. The connections for the 15-pin connector are
1: SR0 9: GND
2: SR1 10: GND
3: SR2 11: GND
4: SR3 12: LA_
5: SR4 13: DEP_
6: SR5 14: VCC
7: SR6 15: VCC
|Rear of case|
I used custom made decals to make the labels for the DIN connectors. This was done using decal paper and my laser printer.
26 January 2007. The front panel artwork has been done. You can download the artwork from here. I made this using a photo of the front panel and Interleaf. The photo is imported into an Interleaf document, properly sized, and from which I recreate all the text, symbols and boxes.
The big job was in making the windows in the cover. First I printed the artwork on a piece of paper and cut out the windows with a sharp knife. The artwork was temporarily attached to the cover with Tamiya masking tape. With a sharp knife I traced out the windows onto the cover. The artwork was removed. As the aluminimum is covered in clear blue plastic, this was peeled off from the windows. I did not have a proper tool, so every 3.5 mm I would drill a hole with a 5/32" drill near the edge of the windows. To help with this, I first marked out the positions of the holes, and then used a punch to mark the position of each hole. The punch marks helps guide the drill, otherwise it moves all over the place. Some of the holes did not overlap, so I used a hacksaw blade to cutaway the aluminium between the holes. The centre piece was removed. To remove the rough edges, I used various files and plenty of elbow grease to make a nice square window. This had to repeated six times for each window!
The back of the artwork was brushed with glue and attached to the cover. The inside edges of the holes were painted matt black. The back of the cover was brushed with glue and clear red cellophane attached to the windows for the various LEDs.
|Front panel artwork attached to case cover.|
4 Feb. 2007. I have started making the Front Panel and Connector PCBs. I'm using the Toner Transfer System. I thought this would be easy to produce the mask, but its not. The system works by transferring the toner from a laser printer onto the board. I thought all you needed to do was print the mask on the TTS paper and then iron it on. However, that is just two of the many steps required. You also need to blast the toner on the TTS paper with a heat gun, determine the correct temperature for your iron, soak the board in water to remove the paper, and then use Green TRF film to seal the toner. I didn't know about the Green TRF film, and the Australian store I bought the TTS paper from didn't have it in stock. I thus had to expensively order some in from the US.
The TTS paper is also in an inconveniant Letter size (279x216 mm), while the front panel and connector boards are 283 mm wide. A4 size paper (297x210 mm) would have been perfect. I converted the TTS paper to A4 length by taping an additional 18 mm to the bottom of a page. Unfortunately, the printing was a bit light along the join line. Blasting with the heat gun also caused the paper to separate from the tape. You can see the results below.
|Boards after transferring toner.|
The middle of the boards are excellent. The right part of the boards suffers from the additional length added to the paper and the left part of the board suffers from smear to the left of the tracks. I ironed from right to left. The paper might have shrunk during this, causing the smudging. Where toner didn't transfer, I am going to use a printed circuit marker pen to fill in the gaps.
While I'm waiting for the Green TRF film to arrive, I'm doing the artwork for the main PCB's. At the same time, I'm expanding the edge connectors tracks by 4%, so that they will fit the 0.156" connectors I'm using. I finished the Timer Board yesterday. Each board takes me about two days to do. I only have another five main boards to go, plus the Display and Keypad boards!
I have also scanned my EDUC-8 articles for safe keeping. My paper copies are starting to yellow, so having them on a CD should make them last longer. The scans were done at 400DPI and in colour. There are 79 pages in 13 articles from August 1974 to August 1975. Each page is about 3MB in size, and 217MB altogether. The articles are
Aug. 1974: Build your own digital computer!

20 Feb. 2007. Unfortunately, I've been busy going to a local conference and reviewing my student's PhD thesis, so I have not been able to get much done. This week I've done some work on the PCBs. The Green TRF arrived. This is used to seal the toner. I cut out a sheet, placed the dull side against the PCB, placed a piece of paper on top, set the iron to mid-way, and ironed as hard as I could for 30 seconds. I repeated this a second time. Unfortunately, not all the Green TRF transferred, so I had to fill in any missing patches with a printed circuit marker (which comes out in blue). I also used the marker to fill in any missing tracks.
|Boards aftter transfer of Green TRF and patching with marker pen.|
For the Connector Board, I bought a GBC Creative A4 Laminator from K-Mart. Unfortunately, this did not have enought heat to transfer the Green TRF. I did three applications of the iron, but this was too much as some of Green TRF stuck to the copper, while not all transferring to the toner!
|Etching the Front Panel Board.|
The next step was to etch the boards. I'm using an etching tank. After waiting half an hour for the water to warm up to 50 C, I added 440 g of Ammonium Perchlorate. This dissolved very quickly. The board went in, just fitting lengthwise to the 300 mm depth of the tank. As the copper etched, the solution goes from clear to blue, from the copper salts. After about 7 minutes, a small patch of copper was etched away. In about 30 seconds, all the visible copper was gone. I pulled the board out and gave it a wash. The second board seemed to take about 5 minutes, perhaps due to the solution warming up to a higher temperature.
19 Mar. 2007. Its been nearly one month since my last update. During that time I have drilled the front and connector boards, nearly completed the front board, and modified the switches.
To drill the boards, I used a drill press I bought on eBay where a standard drill bolts in. Our drill is very loud, even with earplugs and earmuffs! I used a 0.8 mm tungsten carbide drill bit for the wire links, resistors, capacitors, edge connector pins and integrated circuits (ICs to us electronic engineers, microchips to Hollywood). For the light emitting diodes (LED) I used a 1.0 mm bit. For the first LED hole I used a 0.8 mm, followed by 1.0 mm. The end of the 1.00 mm drill bit jammed in the 0.8 mm hole and broke the tip of the bit off! I learned from my brother that this is a common problem when drilling. Its better to not drill in two stages. I did not have a spare 1.0 mm bit, but fortunately the break was clean. I just had to press a little harder with the 1.0 mm bit. I also used the 1.0 mm for the wire connectors around the edge of the board.
For the larger holes on the corners and the edge connector mounts I used a 1/8" (3.175 mm) drill bit so that the 3 mm screws would fit through. For the switches I used a 1.2 mm tungsten carbide bit. I initially used a 1.2 mm bit for the mounting holes of the switches bracket. No screws would fit this, so I enlarged the hole to 1/8". However, the head of a 3 mm screw would overlap a track next to it, causing a short. I got some 2.5 mm screws which avoided this problem. For this size screw a 7/64" (2.778 mm) bit should be used to drill the hole.
After drilling the holes, I then used a hacksaw to cut the boards to size. I found this to be a lot of work. I then used a steel wool brush from the kitchen to rub away the toner mask. I later discovered three holes that needed to be drilled. Its easy to miss a hole! The final step to prepare the boards is to spray them in Servisol PCB Laquer that I bought from Jaycar. This prevents the copper from corroding. Soldering is no problem, as the hot solder easily melts the laquer. As you can see, making a PCB is no easy task!
|Boards after drilling and cleaning.|
The next step was to solder in the components. I started with the front panel board. The components are added in increasing height, starting with the links, resistors, IC's, capacitors and then LEDs.
|Front panel board with most components loaded.|
The next thing to do was to modify the switches. The switches I bought had side mounted brackets that solder directly to the board. The original design had flat brackets, but these are no longer available with solder pins, only with solder tabs. First step was to remove the levers. I did this by pushing the lever out of one hole in its bracket, holding it in position, and then using a screw driver to push the lever out of the other hole.
Step 2 was to flatten the brackets. This was a complicated process of first levering the bracket out slighty with a screw driver, flatting the sides with a plier, partially flattening the top of the bracket with pointy nose pliers, hammering flat the bracket with a small hammer and a slege hammer acting as an anvil, adjusting the bracket with a plier and then repeating all this for the other side and fourteen other switches!
While working out this procedure, I managed to break a pin loose from a 7108 switch. Ironically, I had no spare 7108's, but I had spare 7101's, and the side I broke was the one that was used. Had I broke the other side or broke a 7101 (which was twice as likely), I would have been fine. Talk about Murphy's law! I superglued the pin back, but unfortunately, the connection did not work. With nothing to lose, I decided to take the switch apart, prying loose the metal sides. The switch is actually pretty simple inside. There's a lever which connects the middle pin to either side of the outer pins. By swapping this lever around, I could make the good side active. While hammering the sides to get them back in place, the whole side of the switch broke away! To fix this, I superglued it back on, and then superglued the metal sides. Both sides now work, but I will only use the good side for the computer.
Step 3 is to cut the brackets to shape. I first drew lines on the bracket that were 30 mm apart. I tried to use an old tin snips from our garage, but this was very badly worn and out of shape. I managed to make a short cut, but had to finish it with a hack saw, which was not very easy. I threw the old tin snips in the bin and bnought a new tin snip which worked perfectly. The little edges that were left over were cut of with sprue cutters that I got from the Airfix Classic Club membership! The wire cutters I got from Dick Smith were not up to the task.
Step 4 was to drill the holes. I first marked these 24 mm apart with a pencil. I then used a punch to inititally mark the bracket. The holes were then drilled with a 3/32" (2.381 mm) drill bit, so that 2 mm screws could be used. Finally the back the of the screws were filed down to remove any burrs. The corners of the brackets were filed down as well, to prevent myself from being accidently cut. As I previously didn't anticipate the 2 mm screws, I bought some 2 mm screws, washers and nuts from RS Australia.
The final step was to reinsert the levers, which is pretty easy. As you can see, nothing is easy with this computer!
|From left to right, original switch, bracket flattened, bracket cut, completed switch.|
I've also been buying some tools so I that making the PCB's is a bit easier. First of all, I bought a paper guillotine to cut the boards. The one I chose is the Ledah 405 A4 Guillotine from Thinkgroup. This is about three times what you pay for a cheap guillotine, but at least you won't accidently cut your fingers off. This guillotine can cut up to 20 pages, which I figured should be enough to cut a 1.6 mm thick PCB.
I used the guillotine to cut the remaining PCB boards, all nine of them. Doing a long 305 mm cut was easy in the beginning, but got very hard near the end, even with a curved blade. Also, the board tends to pull to the right, so that you overcut the board. Adjusting the end of the board a little to the left compensates for this. Even with these disadvantages, I managed to cut all the boards in less than half an hour, much faster and easier than the old method with a hack saw.
The latest item I have bought is a GBC Heatseal H210 A4 Laminator from Nexus Australia. The laminator will be used to transfer the toner and seal the PCB. This is the laminator recommended by Pulsar, who make the toner paper. I tried the laminator with some spare TTS paper and board, but it did not work! The laminator was set at its maximum temperature, I tried the board up and down, nothing. The toner would not stick. After a while, I tried putting the board repeatedly through. This seemed to do the trick and the toner stuck very well. The Green TRF seal also stuck very well. So, I'm all set to make the rest of boards, once I get all the artwork done.
As to the artwork, while waiting for various things, I have started work on the second computer board, the E8/D or decoder board. I have also contacted a local company, A Class Metal Finishes, who said they can gold plate the edge connectors of the PCB's. This is important, as one of the problems reported with the EDUC-8 is intermittant connections with the edge connectors if they are not plated correctly.
13 Apr. 2007. Another big update. This time I have finally completed the first part of construction!
The first thing I did was make a bracket for mounting the switches. I used some spare 0.5 mm thick aluminium sheet, 30 mm wide by 282 mm long. I used the PCB to mark out the locations for the holes for the switches and screw holes. The ends were bent into a bracket 10 mm high and 10 mm wide. I then did the tedious task of making the holes. Six small holes were drilled around the perimeter of the rectangular hole. The middle was cut out. Using a small round and triangular file, the rectangular hole was shaped. This was repeated 13 times! Two small holes for each switch were drilled, using a 3/32" (2.38 mm) drill bit. I used the drill press for this task. In the top left corner, I cut part of the bracket away to make room for the 47 µF tantalum capacitor.
The bracket was screwed in place and the switches carefully inserted. I then carefully screwed the switches in place using 2 mm screws, washers and nuts. This was sometimes a tricky operation. It might have been easier to screw the switches to the bracket first, and then attach the bracket. After all the switches were screwed in, I realised that the bottom left and right corners of the bracket would interfere with the front spacers. I removed the bracket and switches as one unit, used a small round file to make clearance, and reattached the bracket and switches. The switches were then soldered in.
|Switch bracket. The bottom left and right corners need to be filed to make room for the front spacers.|
The small daughter board for the PC7 and MA7 LEDs was made up and attached to the front board. I used small strips of tin cut from a Nestlé Quick can to make the bracket. The bracket was soldered to the +5 V rail along the top of the board. A small drop of superglue under the board was used to attach it to a 7405 IC underneath.
Finally, I soldered in solder pins for the switch register, external deposit and external load address. I later realised that I should have not soldered in the pins for the switch register. The pins should be soldered to the connector board, as this allows easier access to the cable used to connect to the rear connector. This completed the front panel board!
The Electronics Australia article says to test the LEDs after completion of the first section. However, if there is a bad LED, IC or resistor, it would be a big job to unsolder all the links between the front and connector boards, in order to replace the broken part. Thus, I tested the front board as soon as it was completed. As the laquer had insulated the contacts to the LEDs, I wiped these clean with some white spirits. The two LEDs on the daughter board and the instruction and status LEDs are normally dark, with the rest on. On power up, the LEDs lighted up correctly. Shorting each input to ground, I then tested each LED. All worked correctly!
|Testing the LEDs.|
The next big task was to modify the connectors for the connector board. What I had were 18 way double row connectors without side mounts. What I needed were 16 and 32 way single row connectors with side mounts. Including the extender board, I needed five 32 way connectors, one of them closed ended for the timer board, the other four open ended on one end, and eight 16 way connectors, all of them open ended on one end. Using sixteen 18 way connectors, I would make the thirteen connectors (equivalent to eighteen 16 way connectors).
The first tedious task was to convert from double row to single row. The connector board also had the pins going alternatively up and down. To achieve this, I would alternatively cut off pins from the top row and alternatively bend up pins from the bottom row so that the bent bottom row pins would lie next to the remaining top row pins. These bent bottom row pins were then soldered to the top row pins. A total of 16x9 = 144 pins had to be soldered.
The next tedious task was to cut the connectors to the right number of connections. I used a razor saw that is used by modellers. The plastic is fairly hard, which made cutting the connectors difficult. I would first scratch a line into the plastic sides to aid in cutting the connectors. For each 32 way connector, I would cut off the end of one 18 way connector, and cut off four pins from the other 18 way connector. For four of the connectors, I would open up one end using the razor saw and a sharp modellers knife.
The two connectors would then be inserted into the connector board. I would then insert a spare piece of PCB into the connector and remove the connectors with the PCB still inserted. The connectors would be adjusted and temporarily test fitted back into the connector board, to make sure the spacing was correct. I cut two pieces of 0.5 mm thick plastic card, of size 14x20 mm. Superglue was applied to the connector, 10 mm from each side of the join line, and on one side of the plastic card. The card was attached and repeated for the other side. This makes for a surprisingly very strong join.
To make the 16 way connectors, I would cut off one end, and then cut off two pins. The end would be reattached with superglue. Using the spare 4 way and 2 way connectors left over, I made two 16 way connectors. The 4 way connectors were used at the ends. One connector had four 2 way connectors in the middle, while the other connector used a 4 way and two 2 way connectors in the middle. The connectors were joined using the same technique as for the 32 way connectors, except that a longer piece of plastic card was used. Again, the connector is surprisingly very strong and level. I used the left-over pins as this was actually easier than cutting off new pins.
Using the razor saw was very difficult. I would recommend buying a diamond cutting wheel from RS Electronics (part number 472-3038). This should make the task much easier.
The final tedious task was to make the side mounts. My connectors did not have any. I used spare 0.5 mm aluminium sheet. These were cut into 23x29 mm squares. The 29 mm length was marked at 10 and 19 mm (giving 10, 9 and 10 mm sections). The 23 mm length was marked at 8 and 9.5 mm (giving 8, 1.5 and 13.5 mm sections). In the 9x13.5 mm section, a 3x8 mm section was cut out of 12 of the side mounts, to make room for the PCB to slide through.
Two corners of 10x9.5 mm area were cut off. The 9 mm wide tab was bent up at the 8 mm line. The 10 mm wide tabs were bent at the 10 an 19 mm lines. Using a connector and the connector board as a guide, I marked out a hole at the bottom of the side mounts. These were then drilled. A tricky operation, as I had to drill from the bottom of the mount. I held the side mount onto a connector to help with this.
While fitting the side mounts to the connectors, I found that it was easier if the square corners of the connectors were filed down into a round corner. For fitting the side mounts (all 26 of them), I first put the connector into the connector baord. Usually, I had to adjust the side mount, so that it would fit tightly to the connector. I applied lots of superglue to the inside of the side mount and the end of the connector. This made for a very strong join.
With the side mounts all on, we could finally bolt the connectors in place. However, with the rounded corners, the side mounts had moved inwards. Thus, the side mount holes were not in the correct position. The new position of the hole was marked out on the side mount. A small round file was used to make the hole in the right position.
Now we could finally mount the connectors in place and solder the 240 pins to the board! I have lots of spare 0.156" 18 way connectors for sale (only AU$1 each), but you might want to buy the same connectors, but with side mounts from Jamma Boards for US$1.75 each.
|Connectors, before and after modification.|
For those with 0.150" (3.81 mm) original EDUC-8 boards, you could cut these 0.156" connectors down to 0.150". Using the diamond cutting tool, you can cut off two ways at a time, keeping each piece numbered, so that you can put them back together in the right order. The pins in the 2 way connector will be 0.006" (0.15 mm) further apart, while the distance between the 2 way connectors will be 0.006" (0.15 mm) closer together. There should be enough tolerance so that these small variations should not matter. Using the techniques I described above, the 2 way connectors can be joined together to make 16 and 32 way connectors. Its not a trivial amount of work, but its a lot cheaper than having to custom order 0.150" connectors, as I could not find any off-the-shelf source of 0.150" connectors with solder pins.
|Completed front and connector boards.|
Before joining the two boards together, wires for +5 V and GND were soldered from the solder pins from the connector to the front board. I also soldered a short wire to the External Deposit pin near the middle of the front board. I should have made this wire longer, so that it reached the end of the switch register cable inside the case.
|Power lines between front and connector boards.|
The two boards were then connected together via spacers. The tedious task of then soldering link wires between two boards then had to be done. The wires between the bottom and sides of the board are fairly straight forward. However, one has to be careful in wiring along the top edge, as longer insulated wires are needed, along with pins not being in the same order between the boards. This is not a good design, as fixing a fault would need the removal of nearly all the link wires. An old EDUC-8 solved this problem by using long strips of ribbon cable between the boards.
While fitting the two boards into the case, I noticed a problem. I had installed the sides of the case back to front, so that the front lip was shorter than it was supposed to be. The long lip was at the back! This meant I could not mount the boards, as the front lip was too short. I solved the problem by attaching small pieces of alumuninum sheet, to extend the front lip in the four corners. I used some counter sunk screws to hold these in place. I had tried superglue, but it did not work.
The next step was to solder the cables to the rear solder pins of the connector board. The switch register cable was soldered to the front board, as I had incorrectly soldered mounting pins on this board, instead of the connector board. I also had to solder short leads between the switch register cable and the external deposit wire and load address pin on the front board. The power and ground wires were also soldered to the connector board.
|Wiring rear connectors and power to boards. You can also see the tabs I added to the front of the case.|
I could finally now mount the two boards into the case. I used 30 mm long countersunk screws. The instructions recommend 1" (25.4 mm) long screws. The 15 mm spacers I had bought were too short. I cut off 5 mm from some spare spacers to make a 20 mm long spacer. The front boards also now added rigidity to the case, which was a bit flimsy from using 0.5 mm thick aluminium.
|Boards installed in case. Connector view.|
With the board finally mounted, I powered the computer up, to make sure all the LEDs were working. I noticed that the +5 V mounts for the daughter board was touching the case lid. To prevent shorts to case ground, I put some insulating tape on the bracket.
|Boards installed in case. Front view.|
For the case lid, I made the right most hole for the switches a little larger to the left. This allowed the case lid to sit a little better. Finally, I drilled holes into the case lid, to match the smaller holes in the case I had previously drilled.
|First section completed and working.|
My next update may not be for quite a while. I have to do the PCB artwork for all the six main boards, extender board, and three smaller peripheral boards. I've already done the timer board and started on the decoder board. I intend to make all the next boards in one batch.
26 June 2007. A short update. The artwork is coming along. Boards still to do are E8IOT, E8X and the three interface boards. Thanks to Garry Page's EDUC-8 blog, I have discovered that a 74 series equivalent for the 9001 does exist, the 74105. It has the same pinout as the 9001. Its available for $1.99 from Unicorn Electronics.
3 July 2007. I've finished laying out the boards! You can download all the printed circuit patterns from the resources section below. I am making these patterns available for free. All I ask is that they are for personal use only. Hopefully the patterns in the Electronics Australia articles do not have any errors and that I myself did not make any errors in copying them. The patterns are in postscript format. You will need GSview to view and print the files. Please don't ask me to provide the patterns in another format, as I won't be doing this. All the patterns are mirror imaged. Thus, you can print directly to Toner Transfer System or Press-N-Peel paper. You can also print to clear film, with the ink side against the PCB.
I've printed nine pages on Toner Transfer Paper. I first used a yellow paper. I also used some new blue paper, which seems to be a little stiffer. The first try with the blue paper, the paper jammed, causing a loss of paper. The second try, I was careful to gently push the paper in. This worked fine. Next step is to actually make the boards!
7 August 2007. All the boards have been made! I list the steps below.
|Boards after transferring toner.|
|E8/T Timing Board||E8/D Decoder Board||E8/A Accumulator Board|
|E8/P Program Counter & Adder Board||E8/M 256-Word Memory Board||E8/IOT IOT Interface Board|
|E8/X Extender Board||E8/KI Simple Input Keyboard Board||E8/S Octal Display Unit Board|
|E8/SR-T Asynchronous Serial Interface Board|
So, I have now reached the stage where I can now finish building the computer. Cross my fingers that the boards will work!
10 August 2007. The second section is completed and working! I spent this week assembling the Timer Board (E8/T), Decoder Board (E8/D), and Accumulator Board (E8/A). The instructions for this are described in the November 1974 issue of Electronics Australia (EA). The first task for each board is inserting the wire links. I used insulated solid core wire that I found in my wire bin. I think this wire was used in the telephone system. Anyway, what a tedious job it is soldering all those wire links! There's a huge number of them. The boards were designed to be single sided to reduce cost.
For the IC's I used a wide variety from a number of sources. They ranged from a TI 5404 from 1969, some Fairchild 9003 (7410) and 9004 (7420) chips from 1974 and other IC's from the late 1970's and early 1980's. I found that the TI chips needed to have their pins rubbed down with sandpaper to remove all the oxidation and gunk that has built up over the years. This was especially true for the chips made in El Salvador. Otherwise, the solder would not stick to the pins.
In order to test the board, I soldered wires from the Switch Register pins at the bottom of the Front Panel Board to the MB pins to the upper left of the board that go to the display LEDs and computer. This allows you to do some basic tests of the eight instructions, as described in the EA article. With the three boards plugged in, I plugged in the computer to power it up, saying "Here goes!". To my relief, it powered up correctly, as shown below.
|Power on. The Fetch light is on, the accumulator is random and MB is zero as expected.|
I then tested the eight basic instructions. Everything worked perfectly, with the status and instruction lights lighting in the correct order. The next command to test was CMA (complement accumulator). This uses code 704 where the first and last digit are in octal and the middle digit is quaternary. I tried this with the accumulator cleared, but nothing happened! On powerup, the accumulator contents are random. Trying this in slow mode, you can see the accumulator shifting right, but no inverted data was being input to the left, effectively clearing the accumulator.
Seeing as I had a problem, I built up the Extender Board (E8/X). This just involved soldering in the 16 and 32 pin connectors I had made previously. I plugged the Extender Board into the Decoder slot and checked to see that the CMA signal was working. This signal went low as expected. I then looked at the Accumulator Board, examining the circuit diagram. CMA was getting to the circuit, and the inverter and NAND gate it went to was working. Looking at the schematic more carefully, the serial input to the accumulator shift register was from the A-BUS. The output from the inverter goes to the B-BUS. These two buses are only connected throught Program Counter and Adder Board (E8/P), which hasn't been built yet! I then checked the later issues and found that the next article had a little section saying that CMA won't work correctly as described. So, the computer was working correctly.
The next instructions to test were clear accumulator (CLA or 710) and rotate accumulator left (RAL or 702), which worked fine. I then tried rotate accumulator right (RAR or 722). In this case as E8/P is not connected, zeros should be shifted in from the left. With random data loaded from powerup, nothing was happening! I checked that the RAR signal to the E8/A worked correctly. However, this signal is not used to cause a right shift. The signal T13.RAR is used. This signal goes low when the timer counter is 13 and RAR is high, causing a single right shift.
This signal measured 1.8 V to the three input NAND gate it went to on E8/A. This was stange as normally the signals are close to zero or around 4 V. As this is a dynamic signal, I got out my old cathode ray oscilliscope (CRO). The signal didn't move. I then looked at the E8/D schematic and didn't see it there. I eventually traced the source of T13.RAR to E8/P! So the computer was working correctly. The 1.8 V was due to no signal being connected to the input. Seems that Mr. Rowe did not obviously test his test instructions.
As the tests were completed, I unsoldered the link wires on the front panel board. I also took the opportunity to solder in three jumper wires to SR5, SR6, and SR7. These go to E8/P since Mr. Rowe did not modify the connector board from his original design with a 32 byte memory. Next to do are E8/P and the Memory Board (E8/M).
23 August 2007. The third section is complete and working! This section includes building up the E8/P and E8/M boards, as described in the December 1974 issue of Electronics Australia. These two boards complete the inner workings of the EDUC-8, except for the interface board E8/IOT. Thus, we can run programs, but can't use it for anything, accept controlling the accumulator register (AC) on the front panel.
First up was building the boards. This was similar to the three main boards, except that we had to add PCB pins for the flying leads and solder IC sockets for the two 1Kx1 memory chips. The lead spacing for the memory chips on the PCB is slightly wider than 0.3" (7.62 mm), so the sockets were hard to fit in. It probably would have been better to cut the sockets in half and solder each half in separately. The PCB pins were bent down so that they would not short to any tracks on the above board. I also added labels next to the PCB pins. Flying leads to the LEDs were soldered the front panel board. At the end of these leads I soldered PCB pin sockets and attached a label to the end of the lead. You can download these labels from the Power Supply Circuit Diagram.
While building E8/P I found I was short by two 2.2K resistors. Going back through the parts list, I found the Timing and Control Board parts list incorrectly listed two 2.2K resistors, instead of the correct four. I went down to Dick Smiths to buy the missing 2.2K resistors, along with PCB pin sockets. I have updated the parts list with the correct number of 2.2K resistors.
We then set about testing the computer. All the boards were plugged in, flying leads attached, and power applied. The first test passed successfully, i.e., loading the PC register using the LOAD ADDR switch. The second test failed. This is where we examine the RAM contents using the EXAM switch. Loading address 00000000 (I'll be giving binary here) first and pressing EXAM, the PC counter should increment, but it did not. If address 00000001 is loaded, pressing EXAM gave 11111111, instead of 00000010. Similarly, 00000010 gave 11111110, 00000100 gave 11111100, etc. Thus it appeared the adder and carry FF appeared to be doing something, but not correctly.
|Inside the EDUC-8.|
The next step was to understand how the adder circuit worked. The design uses the 7480 full-adder. A full adder has the summation output S = A ⊕ B ⊕ CI and carry output CO = A.B + CI.(A+B) where A and B are the two bits being added and CI is the carry input, ⊕ is XOR addition, + is OR addition, and . is AND multiplication. The 7480 has A = A1.A2+AC and B = B1.B2+BC. Both S and S are given as outputs along with CO. In the EDUC-8 design A2 = B1 = 1 (VCC), A1 = B-BUS and B2 = C-BUS so that A = B-BUS+AC and B = C-BUS+BC. The CI input is connected to Q of the carry FF (the 9001), with the CO output connected J and K of the carry FF (effectively making the 9001 a D-FF with negative output).
During the EXAM cycle, the carry FF is set, PC0 (the LSB of the PC register) is connected to the B-BUS, C-BUS is high, AC is low, BC is high, and S is connected to the A-BUS which feeds into the serial input of the PC register. I was initially confused by all the negative logic, thinking that PC was being incremented instead of PC. However, I later realised that if we feed in inverted inputs to A, B and CI, the outputs at S and CO are non-inverted!
One problem with doing the testing is that EXAM can only be used correctly if the computer is set to FAST (500 kHz clock rate). However, the exam and fetch cycles are very similar, with the PC being incremented. Starting at address zero, I managed to load in the AND instruction. Since the PC was not being incremented at address zero, I could repeat this instruction using the RUN key, with single step operation and in slow mode. This would allow me to follow the signals using my two channel CRO.
Using the extender board, the first pin I measured was A1 (pin 2) of the 7480 on E8/P. This should have been high (about 4 V). However, I measured this to be in the low state! That is, B-BUS was being pulled low. I first checked the single open collector NAND gate connected to B-BUS on this board. One input was low as expected. Turning the power off, I then checked if there was a short on the B-BUS, which there wasn't. I then checked E8/M using the extender board. This again had one open collector NAND gate connected to B-BUS. Both inputs to the NAND gate were high! One input was connected to the D-BUS which was expected to be high. The other input went to an inverter. The input to this inverter is T2-9.ISZ. This input should be high, but was at about 1 V. With the power off, I measured only 84 Ω to ground! With the board out, the resistance was greater than 10 MΩ as expected, so the problem was not the inverter. This signal also goes to E8/P where I again measured greater than 10 MΩ. The source of T2-9.ISZ is from a NAND gate on the decoder board. The signal is output from pin 8 of a 7400. I measured the resistance to ground to be 84 Ω, so this chip was the problem.
The 7400 was desoldered using my soldering iron and solder wick to soak up the solder. Before inserting a new 7400, I measured the resistance of the pins to ground, to make sure I wasn't putting in another dud chip. With the new chip in, I did the examine test. Success! The PC was incrementing as expected. Pressing the deposit key also incremented the PC as expected.
The next test was to press the run key, but the text then mentions that the SR switches are assumed to be still connected to the MB register! I also had misread the text, and done my previous tests with the memory board in. Only E8/P should have been in. As the next tests required the wired links, I soldered them back in and performed the tests without E8/M. These tests involved checking the remaining OPR instructions. All the following tests passed, except for skip on minus accumulator (SMA). With this instruction, the PC would always skip, whether the accumulator was negative (AC7 high) or not.
I first checked the SMA and H⊃AC= −VE (connected to AC7) signals going to E8/P. SMA would go low during the execute cycle and H⊃AC= −VE was the same as AC7, as expected. SMA goes to an inverter, the output of which was working OK. The inverter output and H⊃AC= −VE go to a NAND gate to generate H⊃AC= −VE.SMA (pin 2 of a 7400). Measuring the output of the NAND gate on the CRO, this signal would always follow SMA, regardless of H⊃AC= −VE! This is similar to the problems that Jim Rowe had with his EDUC-8, where one of the internal input wires from the pin to the die would be broken.
This 7400 was again replaced with a new chip. Retesting the computer confirmed that this problem was now fixed. I also tested skip on zero accumulator (SZA) again, as the signal for this instruction is used by the other NAND gates on the chip. The following tests all passed successfully.
The next big test was with E8/M. As this has the MB register, I desoldered the wire links to the switch register as instructed. Starting with address zero, we examined the first few locations. The data read was random, but the four LSBs of MB were always zero. I continued to the next test, which was to deposit instructions. Unfortunately, the test failed, with MB showing a pattern not equal to SR. Again, the deposit key requires the computer to be in fast mode. As I want to examine the signals in slow mode, I solved the problem by holding down the deposit key while pressing the run key. Thus, the computer should do a deposit during the fetch cycle.
With E8/M on the extender board I had one CRO input connected to T13 and the other to DEP, the active low deposit signal. Both these signals were OK. DEP went to an inverter, the output of which was OK. I then checked the NAND gate which produced the signal T13.DEP (pin 6 of a 7400). This gave 1.64 V when high! The maximum low input voltage is 0.8 V and the minimum high input voltage is 2.0 V for TTL. With this signal in between, this caused the computer to not work correctly.
I unsoldered this chip, but the resistance for pin 6 seemed to be OK. However, pin 11 (another NAND output) was 9.7 kΩ to ground. Checking the new chip, I found that pin 3 (NAND output) was 750 Ω to ground! So, that was four dud 7400 chips that I found! They were all Fairchild chips, made in Singapore from 1982. Two chips had date codes of 8219, the other two had codes of 8215 and 8217. I always bend the pins of dud chip inwards, reflecting their status of a dead bug. :-)
With another 7400 soldered in, the computer passed all the following tests! The last test is a simple program to increment AC to 255 and then stop. The photo at the top of the page shows this test being run. This worked perfectly. However, the program stops with MA = 000 (in octal) instead of 010 as described in the text. The cycle and instruction timing table given in the September 1974 issue of Electronics Australia shows that MA is cleared during the execute cycle of the HLT instruction, so I believe my computer is working correctly.
The "first test" program only tests the ISZ and JMP memory instructions. I wanted to test the other memory instructions as well. This program tests the DCA, AND and TAD instructions. AC is set to all ones and is ANDed with IDX which is initially loaded with 1. IDX is then left shifted once and ANDed with all ones again. As the program halts after every AND, pressing the run key should see a one shift lefted in AC one position.

I then wrote a program to test the TAD better (instead of adding to just zero in the above program), as well as testing JMS and indirect addressing. In this case, AC should increment by one on the first press of run, and by two every time after.
00 CLA.IAC 711 01 DCA IDX 305 02 HERE TAD IDX 105 03 HLT 721 04 JMP TMP 506 05 IDX 000 06 TMP JMS SUB 410 07 JMP HERE 502 10 SUB 000 11 TAD IDX 105 12 JMP I SUB 530Again, the program worked perfectly. I also tested the first run program starting at F0 in hex. This checked the upper memory chip. So everything appears to be working normally! I'm well pleased. The next task is the interface board. This will complete the EDUC-8 microcomputer.
24 August 2007. My EDUC-8 microcomputer is finally complete! Today I fininshed the E8/IOT board, as described in the January 1975 issue of EA. Not much to say, as we can't properly test the board until we have something to interface to. This will be the simple keypad and octal display, also described in the January 1975 issue.
7 September 2007. This is an update on the EDUC-8 keypad. This is unfortunately not working yet. I was not able to find the original Mechanical Enterprises SK760 keypad. So I bought a keypad designed for the Commodore 64 from eBay.
|Commodore 64 keypad|
Opening the box, I found the keypad soldered to a PCB which also had a diode network soldered into it. I needed to attach the keyboard to the case lid, but the original PCB did not have any room for mounting holes. Thus, I decided to make a new PCB for the keypad. I first unsoldered the keypad using solder wick. I had to use a lot of wick, as there were 32 pins to unsolder! I then designed a new PCB, following the pin pattern of the SK760. This pattern is included in the PCB artwork in the Resources section. I made the board in only a few hours. I also fixed my laminator, which was not moving the rollers properly and making an annoying clicking noise. The screw holding the rolling motor had come loose.
|Unsoldered keypad next to PCB, labelled E8/KP.|
I initially made the keypad holes 1.0 mm in diameter, but when I tried to insert the keypad, one of the pins disappeared. I immediately thought I had broken the pin off. I widened the holes to 1.2 mm where another two pins disappeared. Finally, I widened the holes to 1.6 mm, before the keypad would fit. I soldered a wire to each of the broken pins. After soldering in the PCB pins, the keypad was inserted. I found that the keypad pins were not of an even height. The pins are very short, and just poke through the PCB. Removing a key, I examined the switch contacts and noticed they were not of an even height. Pushing on the pins must have pushed some of them slightly in. For the pins that had disappeared, this was only because the pin had been pushed in nearly all the way! Using a pair of pliers I pulled the pins back in place.
|Completed keypad. Note that some keys have been switched to match the SK760.|
The PCB for the electronics was put together relatively easy. I just had to make sure I soldered in the diodes the right way. I used a plastic box from Dick Smith for the case and six-wire alarm cable for the cord. Once completed I plugged the keypad into IDO (input device zero) and checked that ground and +5V were wired correctly to the keypad.
|Completed keypad electronics.|
I wrote a simple program to transfer the contents of the keypad to the accumulator.
00 CLA 710 Clear Accumulator 01 RKF0 604 Clear IDO Flag 02 HERE SKF0 601 Skip on IDO Flag 03 JMP HERE 502 04 KRB0 606 Read IDO and clear flag 05 JMP HERE 502Not surprisingly this did not work! I got out the extender board so that I could check the IO board. I found that the FLAG FF on the keypad was always low (data ready) and was not being set by the RKF0 instruction. In slow mode, the clear signal (active low) was going to the rear connector, but not to the keypad. Aha! I had wired the connector for the keypad backwards! The connector has a symmetrical pattern with +5V and GND in the middle, so those pins do not get swapped.
|Inside the keypad box|
Fixing this problem, the keypad still did not work. The FLAG was still always low. The input to the FLAG buffer was only 1.66 V, an invalid level. I traced the fault to pin 6 of the 7400, where the output wire inside the chip seems to have broken. That's the fifth faulty 7400 chip I found! This time, this was a TI chip made in El Salvadore. The date code is 249B. This could be the 24th week of 1989, as the chip looks new, without the corrosion I normally see on chips from El Salvadore.
After replacing the 7400, the FLAG FF was now working correctly. However, in pressing the zero key I would get semi random results, instead of all zero. I would get decimal seven, three, one or zero. I suspected that this would be due to the keys bouncing. The original keypad used mercury bounceless switches. I only found this out when I read the article before building the keypad.
After the keypad register is cleared from a clear flag instruction, the 5-bit register would always go to 15 (01111 in binary) after pressing the zero key, instead of staying at zero. Examining the asynchronous parallel load (PL) input to the register, I could see this signal going momentarily high when the key is pushed down and also when it is released. The problem is when the key is released, since this will cause 15 to be loaded.
To fix the problem, I would need to design a debouncing circuit. I found this excellent tutorial on debouncing circuits. All that you need to do is add a capacitor across the switch and have the switch input connected to a Schmitt trigger. The diode matrix encodes the 16 switches into five bits. However, only four of those bits are used to trigger the one-shot that drives the PL signal. I though of placing capacitors at these four inputs, but decided that wasn't a good idea. Pressing a key would cause the capacitor to discharge directly into the diodes, with no resistor to absorbe the energy. Thus, 15 of the 16 keys would need a capacitor across the switch. The CTRL key (bottom right hand corner) is not used by the triggering logic.
I designed the time constant for the circuit to be 1 ms (the RC value), as recommended by the tutorial. Each of the four pullups is 27 kΩ. However, each key can be connected to either one, two, three or four pullups in parallel through the diodes. Thus, one pullup requires a 37 nF capacitor, two 74 nF, three 111 nF and four 148 nF. The closest standard components are 33, 68, 100 and 150 nF, respectively. We require 1, 7, 6, and 1 of each value, respectively.
The next problem was more difficult. How to insert Schmitt triggers into the four inputs? The standard 7414 Schmitt trigger has six inverters. I would need to insert a 7414 and then a 7400 or 7404 to get non-inverted data. Another solution was to replace the 7400 with a 7414 and completely rewire the PCB. The register would directly store the inverted data from the 7414. The DATA output would use only one (instead of two) of the 7437 NAND gate drivers, with the FLAG RESET input going to a spare 7414 inverter, instead of a 7437 gate. This frees up two 7437 NAND gates for the FLAG FF.
The two NOR gates for the MSB would disappear, and the two NAND gates for the trigger circuit would be replaced with NOR gates. One gate would go the inverted input of the one-shot, with the other going through a spare inverter into the non-inverted input. I spent a day drawing up a PCB board to do this! In researching Schmitt trigger IC's, others that are available are the 7413 dual 4-input NAND gate and 74132 quad 2-input NAND gate. Having now become very familiar with the circuit design, I realised that if we replace the 7400 with a 74132 (which are pin compatible), then this would directly provide the Schmitt trigger inputs! (This is a good example of how my mind works. I very slowly work out a very complicated solution, before realising the obvious simple one!)
I've ordered the 74132, four replacement 7400s and capacitors from Futurlec. The component costs are more expensive than Unicorn Electronics, but they have much cheaper postage since they are based here in Australia ($4 compared to $20). I'm still waiting for the parts to arrive. My next report will hopefully be a short one if all goes well with the design fix.
13 September 2007. The keypad is working! Yesterday, I received the components I ordered from Futurlec. Surprisingly, the parts were shipped from Thailand, although the invoice slip had Broadmeadow, NSW, Australia as the address. I desoldered the 7400 and replaced it with the 74132. The capacitors were soldered across the switch contacts, to minimise stray currents when they were shorted out by the switch.
Running the test program, the keypad did not work properly. When pressing zero, instead of loading zero, seven would sometimes appear in the AC register. I checked the 7496, and could verify that it was being loaded with 15, instead of zero. Checking the PL input, I could not detect any pulses when the switch was lifted. I added a 100nF in parallel across the switch, and this seemed to do the trick. Zero was loading correctly. The other keys were also working most of the time, but that AC was being shifted to the right once. I later realised that I had swapped the 150nF capacitor for key zero with the 33nF capacitor for key seven. I fixed this, so that key zero only required a 150nF capacitor. However, key seven needed a 100nF capacitor in parallel, to make it work properly.
Checking the circuit diagrams, due to the inverter for CLOCK, data was being shifted out the 7496 register on the falling edge of CLOCK. However, the AC register inputs data on the rising edge of CLOCK. Since CLOCK is initially high, this means that the keypad register is shifted right (losing the LSB data), with the next bit being clocked into AC! This explained the shift right errors I was seeing. The fix was simple. I cut the track from the CLOCK input pin to the 7437 gate and from the gate to the wire link it goes to. I then soldered a link between the input pin and the wire link under the board. This meant that the keypad register was right shifted on the rising edge of CLOCK. Due to gate delays from the keypad register to AC, the data would last long enough to be clocked into AC. I have modified the PCB artwork with this correction.
Testing this modification, the keypad worked as expected, although some bits for some of the keys would not load correctly as before. If this happened while testing a key (pressing it down fast repeatedly) I would add an extra 100nF capacitor across the switch pins. At most only one extra 100nF was required. Thus, I would recommend using 150nF for each of the switches. In testing, if that is not enough, add an extra 47nF or 100nF. With these modifications, I managed to get the keypad working perfectly. I also tested both ID0 and ID1, to verify that both input ports were working.
I'm a bit puzzled as to how the error with the CLOCK inverter occurred. James Rowe had built up the keypad, but does not give any test instructions. Did Jim actually test his design? If he had tested it, he would have found the error, just like I did.
9 November 2007. A long time since my last update, but I have got my EDUC-8 Octal Display working and have written some test software. I received a reply from Jim Rowe about the design error in the keypad. He says he doesn't remember why the correction was not shown in the magazine article, but the change was crudely made to the EDUC-8 booklet that was published.
|E8S board loaded|
The Octal Display went together pretty easily. The only difficulty was in finding suitably longs screws to mount the board. I ended up ordering M4 50 mm screws, nuts and washers from RS Components. The only screws I found in hardware shops were nearly all imperial. There were 3/16" (4.76 mm) 50 mm screws, but I preferred to use the smaller diameter M4 screws from RS. I could not find any M3 or 1/8" (3.18 mm) 50 mm screws.
|Octal display wired|
I also made up labels for the front of the unit and the two controls at the back. One control is used to select between 737 and 377 display. The other control can be used to change the display timing. These labels are included in the resources section below.
|The board mounted in the box.|
I connected the display to the computer and wrote a little program to test it. However, this did not work as I did not realise that writing to an output device also clears the accumulator. My second program corrected this and counts from 0 to 255 and then stops, using the timer in the display to control the time between each increment of the counter. Both output ports and the octal display worked perfectly. I also found the octal display to get quite warm! The old LED displays use quite a bit of power. My test program is below.
|Octal display controls.|
I then read the Electronics Australia article from February 1975 describing various programming techniques. I tried all the test programs. One test program that adds eight numbers stored in eight address locations used a technique that I had heard of, but not actually seen implemented. This is self-modifying code! The TAD instruction used to add the numbers is modified so that its address changes to the next number. However, the program as written will not work due to the 16 word page limitation. Ignoring the first CLA instruction which does not require memory addressing, the total number of instructions and data is 17, one greater than the page. I fixed this by moving the CONST value to the start of the program and starting the program at address 15 (I will refer to all address in 737 octal notation). The program needs to run from start address 16. The modified program is below.
|Front of the octal display.|
The next program that does a similar job, but with a pointer, can not be started from any location. Not including the first CLA instruction and the eight data locations, the program just fits into one page of 16 words. Thus the program should be started from address 17. Since a pointer is used the eight data words can be in the third page (or the first page if desired). This program is also given below.
The next program I wrote was used to test all the memory locations. This was a good experience into how the 16 word page size can be overcome. A good solution is to store all the constants, variables and addresses (data words) at the end of the page leaving the last word free. You start writing instructions from the start of the page with data words being stored from the top (leaving the top word free). When there is only one word left near the middle, you jump to the end of the page (address 17), where you can execute another instruction, or have a NOP if necessary. This then takes you into the next page, where the process repeats.
If the last middle instruction is conditional (ISZ, SZA, SMA, SKF, or SDF) then this technique won't work as the skip will be into a data word. The solution is to replace the conditional instruction with a jump to address 16. The data word at 16 is moved to just after the jump instruction. This leaves two words free at the end of the page for the conditional instruction and the following instruction.
The memory program also showed the limits of pointer addresses. Since you are doing an indirect on the pointer address, all instructions that change or use data at the address of the pointer must be in the same page as the pointer. If your instructions are spread over two pages, there are two possible solutions. One is to copy the pointer address into the next page. Another is to use subroutines to change or use the data. For the memory tester, I chose the later. The pointer address is stored in the last page. A subroutine used to write and read data to the pointer is also in this page. A general solution is to have a subroutine for each address instruction to the pointer address. Since each subroutine requires three words (return address, instruction, return instruction), we could have five subroutines for five instructions, e.g., AND, TAD, ISZ, DCA, and JMP plus the pointer itself.
In my memory test program I use the above techniques. I first clear and read the memory location to be tested, and test that is has been cleared correctly. I then test with all ones and then with all zeros. If the program ends at address 025 then the test is successful. If the program stops early, then the stopping address, the contents of the pointer address SAP, and the contents of the accumulator will help work out which address location is at fault. In my test, all addresses tested perfectly. The program is below.
The nest program I'm going to write is to use the keypad and octal display to enter and examine programs.
2 December 2007. I've written a program that can be used to write and read programs using the keypad and octal display. After several iterations, my first attempt used nine pages (144 words), taking up more than half the available memory! Using some tricks, I was able to squeeze this into seven pages (111 words) without any loss of functionality. This leaves nine pages free to write your program. Although limited, I found the instruction set to be very powerful and compact. I don't think any modern CPU could achieve the same functionality with less than 110 words.
The software is given in the resources section. Instructions for using the code are given with the program. In my first attempt, I misentered an instruction, which resulted in some wild program execution. After correcting this, the program worked perfectly! I was able to enter, examine, and run a program I entered through the keypad. I was even able to examine the Octal Display Program itself, after loading its starting address of 420.
I learnt a lot from writing this program. Due to the 16 word page, making a change results in a lot of work in shifting the instructions, constants, addresses and variables. In future, I am first going to write some pseudo code, similar to a high level language. I would then translate this into EDUC-8 instructions, but ignoring the 16 word page limit. For variables that are used as pointers, I would either try to have the indirect instructions close to the variable (to stay within the 16 word page), or use subroutines. I would then translate this into proper assembly language, where the 16 word page limit is considered. This means a lot of indirects for reference to the variables.
One trick I used is when there is a test instruction, like SZA (skip on zero accumulator). The skip would go into the next program section and then would jump back to the start of the program, to input the next character. The instruction after SZA would be a jump into the next test. Instead of jumping to the end of the program section, we jump to the end of the constants, addresses, and variables (CAV) section. The CAV section starts at the end the program section. This results in the CAV section being in the middle of a page. At the end of each program section and its CAV, we count the remaining words in the page. We then count the following instructions, adding words to the CAV as required, until the end of the page is reached. I found that each page usually has five to seven words in each CAV section.
I went to HC Robinson's last week. This is a very old electronics store that has been in business for over 60 years! The owner (Robbie) is getting very old though and only opens the store on Tuesday and Saturday mornings. There is a huge amount of old electronics in the store, and is like venturing into an Aladdins cave. You will never know what you will find. I was able to buy an old keyboard that has a single pole single throw (SPST) switch for each key. In fact, the keys are of the exact same type as my keypad. I was also looking for a paper tape punch and reader, but Robbie could not find one. If anyone knows where I can get a paper tape punch and reader, that would be much appreciated.
The next program I would like to write is a simple calculator.
25 January 2008. I've finished writing a calculator program! This started off as an eight digit calculator with decimal point, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Due to memory limits, the first to go was the decimal point. I wrote the program in Pascal and then started to hand convert this to assembly. This time, I ignored the page constraints, which make programming much easier.
I soon realised that multiplication and division would have to go as well. The next step was to break the program into 16 word pages. This was followed by the addition of the constants and variables into the pages, the labeling of each line with its address in 737 format, and then finally the conversion of the code into 737.
My first attempt used 255 bytes. Programming took me about 20 minutes! As I was using the octal display, only one digit could be displayed at a time. Pressing a number on the keypad would store this into the display register, increment the pointer, which would display the next character. I didn't like this and decided to have another go. I also simplified the program by replacing the subroutines used for indirect TAD and DCA by careful placement of these instructions within a page. This saved about a page, which I used to add the ability to show under and overflows.
This second attempt resulted in a size of 253 bytes. The display pointer would now decrement, but only when the ENTER key was pressed. CTRL(ENTER) was used to perform the calculation. Entering a number, the pointer would stay the same. I didn't like this either, as ENTER had to be pressed after each number was pressed. Also, I found a bug. Minus zero resulted in the inversion of the result. This could be fixed, but required six words, and I only had three spare!
By reducing the complexity of how the overflow is calculated, I found sufficient memory. Also, I changed the input to be similar to the first scheme, except now the pointer would decrement, so numbers could be entered most significant figure first. The program now worked to my satisfaction. The code is below.
I found having to re-create the assembly after each change to be quite tedious, especially when you are using nearly the entire memory of the computer. Therefore, my next task is to write an assembler program.
11 February 2008. I've finished writing an assembler program. The program is written in Pascal and compiled used Free Pascal for 32-bit DOS. The program is a lot more complicated than what I thought it would be, being 670 lines in total. You still have to organise the program words to fit into each 16 word page. I left this to be done manually as instructions with indirect variables need to be on the same page, and shuffling instructions around can avoid blank lines being inserted, making most use of the words available. I've tested the program with sources for my octal display and calculator program. The compiled code was input by hand into my EDUC-8 and worked perfectly. You can download the software (including the pascal source) from the Programs section below. The next program I'm going to write is an 8 digit multiplier, followed by an 8 digit divider.
23 December 2008. I've finished writing the multiplier program, available below. After finding one bug, the program worked perfectly. I had to enter the program three times to get it to work, which is a bit tedious to say the least. Next up is the divider program.
2 January 2009. It took awhile to get the bugs out, but I've now written a program that does eight digit division and modulus operations. The multiplier and this program were written in assembly, and then assembled using e8asy. Using e8asy certainly makes writing assembly code easier, compared to the manual process beforehand. I found one bug, which required two bytes to fix. Fortunately, there were two unused bytes in the page where the error was, so only that page had to be corrected. The program takes 253 bytes (only three bytes spare) and I made four errors in programming the EDUC-8. I found two errors during my first check. The other errors were found when the program didn't work correctly, and I went about checking the code again. My next program is going to be either a four or eight state Viterbi decoder, depending on how much space the program takes.
24 February 2009. Tomorrow I will be presenting a slide show, available below, of how I built and programmed the EDUC-8 computer. This will be presented at the Institite for Telecommunications, University of South Australia, Mawson Lakes, where I have an adjunct position.
1 May 2009. I've done it! I've written a Viterbi decoder program using every byte of the EDUC-8 memory. A Viterbi decoder uses a complicated algorithm for decoding information transmitted using a convolutional code over a digital communications channel. The decoder is able to correct many errors caused by noise, interference and distortion in the channel. There was just enough room to decode a simple rate 1/2 four state code using soft decisions. Four bit signed magnitude received quantisation is used, with a maximum magnitude of nine. The traceback depth is 16 and the decoder delay is 18. I spent a day and a half testing and debugging the decoder. This morning I made the last correction and verified that it is working with a test received sequence.
To write the program, I made some updates to the EDUC-8 assembler. This includes the initialisation of variables as well as allowing direct references to an array or table within a page. I've also updated the simple write program to write2, so that it can now perform read and write operations, displaying the index address in AC.
The next program I want to write is calendar day calculator.
7 May 2009. I have successfully written and tested my Calendar program. This uses 15 pages and works very well, not making any mistakes for any of the dates I tried. As always, I found a couple of bugs in the program while testing, but these were easily fixed. The program is included with e8asy. This is a fun program to run. It would have been good if the EDUC-8 octal display had a decimal display option so that the day, month, century and year could be displayed two digits at a time, instead of one digit (in octal) at a time. The 377 option on the display is fairly useless, as I always use the 737 format for programming the computer and displaying data.
Now having written several programs the next step is to interface to my Facit 4042 paper tape punch and reader. My machine has a serial interface, so I'll be using the EDUC-8 SR-T board which has a UART. So the next step is to build up that board, along with another PCB for the -12 V power supply for the UART, teletype interface and magnetic tape interface.
|29 February 2012. David Snelling in the UK successfully built an EDUC-8 using the PCB plans from this web site and some parts we supplied (switches and connectors). The box to the left is the power supply.|
|9 January 2013. John Clarke from New Zealand started his EDUC-8 in 1975 by obtaining original EDUC-8 PCBs, connectors, front panel, case, some ICs and handbook. However, university, a lack of funds and not knowing where to buy all the parts meant the project was put away. Recently digging out his EDUC-8 parts from his garage and finding this website has allowed John to finish his EDUC-8. In test rig. Inside case.|
|12 April 2013. Harry Sokol from Australia built an EDUC-8 in the 1970s with the Jim Rowe IO expansion. The upper 1024 bit RAM was replaced with several banks of memory, each bank with 128 bytes of RAM. The additional switches on the right are used to load the address of the memory bank, output and input ports before booting the system, allowing selection of which memory bank is initially active.|
|19 June 2014. Lavr Semionovich from the US has designed a software model of the EDUC-8 using Proteus Project, Labcenter Electronics and Professional PCB software. The image here gives a message to celebrate EDUC-8's 40'th anniversary this year.|
|30 June 2014. Gwyllym Sutter from Australia is building an EDUC-8 using the PCB layouts from this website. This is the current state of construction. Here are the boards on 1 April 2013. 1 July 2013: Back, Front, Front Panel, and Front Panel socket pins.|
|14 August 2014. Ray Hollingworth from Australia has shared this photo from the late 1970's of his bedroom where his EDUC-8 can be seen.|
|18 August 2014. Here is Hugh Buckle's EDUC-8 which he built in the 1970's. Hugh placed his EDUC-8 in a frame with an attached keyboard.|

Right Respecting Schools Award
Learn Love and Respect
As part of our community the children in our care have the right to have an education and reach the highest level of education that they are capable of. Therefore we wanted to involve them in our new computer wallpaper and celebrate with a few minutes of fame. This may seem a little bizarre as you may be thinking how does this give them an education? ICT is an integral part of our school learning environment, whenever pupils and staff logon to the computer a vision of our happy children appears. This then stimulates the children and encourages them to give their best in return. We took photographs of all the children dressed in bright clothing arranged in the shape of an 'M'. The result you can see is rather spectacular.
As a school Boston St Mary's support lots of different causes from around the world we reach out to all walks of life. We are proud to be involved with lots of different projects.
Cafod is a Catholic agency for overseas development to end poverty and injustice. We continue to support Cafod with various appeals and awareness campaigns. We have Cafod visitors come to school to update us on what they have achieved since they last visited.
Mission Together is the official Catholic Church's mission charity to support children overseas. During Advent we give out collection boxes for children to save some of their pocket money to help children in Zambia. Mission Together have a unique motto of children helping children.
Children in Need is a famous charity with Pudsy Bear as its mascot. The Charity funds projects working with children and young people aged eighteen and under living in the UK and Channel Islands. There are a wide range of needs from illness, distress abuse or neglect to children living in poverty. Boston St Mary's held a very successful fund raising day raising in excess of Four Hundred Pounds which was a magnificent effort for such a small community.
These are just a few things that as a school we reach out to the wider world and help where we can..
St Mary's School Council are the voice of the school. They hold regular meetings and have a committee to deal with the concerns from the rest of the school. These meetings are sometimes noisy affairs as everyone wants to be heard. However the Chairman is able to restore order and ensure that problems are solved. The Council Meetings are recorded by the Secretary and the Minutes are available to read on the G Drive at school, or in the attachments below. Feel free to have a read.
Below are Articles 12 and 13 which link nicely to the School Council and this is what the Council is all about.
Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA)
Article 12 (respect for the views of the child)
Every child has the right to say what they think in all matters affecting them, and to have their views taken seriously.
Rights Respecting Schools Award
Article 13 (freedom of expression)
Every child must be free to say what they think and to seek and receive information of any kind as long as it is within the law.
You can see more of our work in 'Our Community' we have our own council page. Please have a look at the things we do.
At our school we have decided to display the 'Rights of the Child' in a child friendly version. Our pupils are able to read for themselves each article and go some way to understanding its meaning.
We at St Mary's have produced our own lunchtime Charters which are displayed in the hall for everyone to see and be reminded of. We produced two in order that everyone will be able to understand what is required to ensure we all enjoy our time together.
The picture version serves our younger children very well and the written one is more adult for our older pupils.

Once again, we put off talking about the league format, but for good reason. We got the second new hero introduction article for Baron Zachareth from the Daqan, and FFG also slipped an alt art for the new Uthuk hero in the tournament kit! Although we don't have dials for either one yet, we get a pretty good idea of how they function. The transformation or dual form idea continues with these two, and we discuss some of the new strategies that may come out of these new heroes.
With new units releasing and being announced, Regionals season starting, and Nationals and North American Championships all coming up in short order, it's an exciting time for Runewars!
Join us on our Discord server - the invite link is on our Facebook page.
Thanks for listening!

The Model 2b FIBHORN will astonish you with its effortless realism, spatial delineation of the music in the original performance space and substantial bass response. And all this happens with the same 3.5" driver as in our Model 2.
Our Model 2b is, we believe, the world's best under $400 speaker pair. The cabinet is a perfect cube that incorporates the same initial compression chamber as our Model 2 AND has a larger 2-part Fibonacci expanding horn for the driver backwave.
We have applied a basic version of the U.S. Patented EnABL process to the driver cones and the cabinet for clear articulation of all the delicate spatial information. AND we include our 3-point ISOLATION SPIKES for minimizing sound-blurring micro vibrations. All of these details work together to give your compact audio system a "clear window on the music."
Please see our SET-UP LINK for 3 suggested amplifiers, starting at $150.00.
PRICE PER PAIR: $599.00

Analysis of The Shawshank Redemption
Copyright 2000 Andy Box
Spoiler Alert: The following comments discuss the ending of the movie. I HIGHLY recommend watching the movie first before reading on.
Based on a Stephen King novella, The Shawshank Redemption tells the story of the friendship between two convicts, a seasoned veteran of the system (Red, played by Morgan Freeman) and a newcomer who refuses to let the system destroy him (Andy Dufresne, played by Tim Robbins). This 1994 film is the first written and directed by Frank Darabont, who also wrote and directed the 1999 screen adaptation of another King novel, The Green Mile. Most critics agree that the strongest feature of The Shawshank Redemption is the strong performances by its two lead actors. Critics disagree on other points, from the quality of the script and direction to the essence of the film.
To me, The Shawshank Redemption is the story of two friends who struggle to survive the horrors of prison and who, each in his own way, help each other get out. I agree with an anonymous review on the film’s Internet Movie Database page that says the film is two stories in one. At first it seems to be about Andy’s struggle to endure the prison and keep himself busy and hopeful so he doesn’t go insane before his escape. But in the other, larger perspective of the film, it is really about Red and his ability to survive on the outside. Because of what he learned from Andy about determination and hope, along with Andy’s invitation to join him in Mexico, Red meets a different fate than their friend Brooks did.
Like most reviewers I’ve read, I loved the performances of both Robbins and Freeman, and several other aspects of the film really stand out. Robbins has a face like Kevin Spacey’s that can convey twenty different emotions at once, everything from fear and despair to hope and confidence. This complexity enables him to convey the intelligence and duplicity of Andy Dufresne. Freeman’s eyes, hardened face, and strong, aged voice alone give him an incredible screen presence, making him perfect for the role of Red, the man who knows how the system works and “knows how to get things.”
Many other cinematic elements contributed to the success of the film. The cinematography and direction help make the prison real, from the towering walls of the cell block to the dark shadows of “the hole” where prisoners live during solitary confinement. The camera work, for example, helped reinforce many of the themes and characters. Red and Andy, when alone together, are usually shot close to emphasize their friendship. Instances of this include their first major scene when Andy asks for the rock hammer, the movie scene when he asks for Rita Hayworth, and the scene when Andy talks to Red about going to Mexico. One major exception is the final shot, a gorgeous helicopter or crane shot that pulls far away from their reunion on the Mexican beach. It ends the movie and shows us that they are now free and able to begin a new life in a new world (similar in many ways to the end scene of Shakespeare in Love when Viola walks alone on the Virginia beach). The scenes of actual prison life–the yard, the cell block, the rape scenes, the cafeteria–are usually shot a bit further away to show more of the setting and more of the prisoners and guards, adding to the realism of the film rather than developing the friendship between Andy and Red.
The beautiful score by Thomas Newman (American Beauty) reinforces the mood and tone of each scene without bombast or self-indulgence. Being a sucker for dramatic movie-end plot twists such as in Primal Fear and The Usual Suspects, I really enjoyed discovering the method Andy uses to escape and indict the warden.
The Shawshank Redemption is appropriately filled with religious imagery and allusions. Much of it is ironic and involves Warden Norton. The Warden is a hypocrite similar to the Pharisees of the Gospels. One of his first lines sums him up well: “Put your faith in God. Your ass belongs to me.” He gives all his convicts Bibles, and the first and only rule he tells the new inmates is not to take the Lord’s name in vain. Yet he pads his own pockets with money laundering scams and bribes, permits brutal punishment of his inmates, and even has one of them murdered when he jeopardizes the security of his schemes by offering Andy a chance at a new trial. In the end Andy uses his religiosity against him. Andy hides his rock hammer inside his Bible, and the Warden is too busy discussing and quoting Scripture to look inside it during his “inspection” of Andy’s cell. When he returns the Bible to Andy, he tells him that “salvation lies within,” a line which Andy throws back in his face after he escapes. The Warden hides his safe behind a picture that reads, “His judgement cometh, and that right soon.” He loves to judge his inmates and punish them when they break the rules. He seems to consider himself the instrument of God’s judgment on them. But in the end, thanks to Andy, his hypocrisy and crimes are exposed, and the camera zooms in on the picture as sirens wail outside the prison. Another significant religious image occurs when Andy emerges from the sewer pipe into the creek after his escape. After taking off one of his shirts, he stands in the creek, arms outstretched and lightning flashing around him. One can almost hear him echoing Jesus’s last words on the cross: “It is finished.”
One critic, the Washington Posts’s Desson Howe, suggested changing the movie’s title to “Forrest Gump Goes to Jail,” calling Andy’s rise within the prison “cheesily messianic”. Although a funny suggestion, I must disagree with his point that Andy’s status elevation is cheesy. Prison is a dark and difficult ordeal, full of many people who care mainly if not exclusively about themselves. Andy’s fellow inmates can tell that he is different, and they notice when neither the Sisters nor the guards can break his spirit. Somehow he keeps part of himself separate from the prison and figures out ways to make it better, such as earning beers for his fellow workers or fighting for the expansion of the library. He inspires them, just as we are inspired by people like Lance Armstrong who manage to keep fighting and succeed despite their adversity.
Furthemore, by giving Red something to hope for (the box hidden beneath the oak tree), Andy helps motivate him not to give up after his escape. Andy’s redemption is twofold. First, he ends his wrongful imprisonment, and then he does his best to bring justice to the prison system in return for the injustices that were done to him. Second, and more importantly, he redeems himself for the mistakes that he made with his wife. In his final pre-escape conversation with Red, Andy tells him that he was responsible for his wife’s death because he didn’t know how to show her he loved her and thus drove her away. In light of this realization, Andy changes the pattern with his friend Red by telling him about the box beneath the oak tree. This shows Red that he loves him; it is an effort both to help him survive the rest of his sentence and give him something to do once he finally gets out. By helping to save Red’s life, he redeems himself for his small role in his wife’s death.
Was the movie perfect, or the greatest film ever made, as claimed by some on the Internet Movie Database? I don’t believe so. The main flaws are plot holes regarding Andy’s escape plan. It is a large stretch of logic to believe that Andy could have spent nearly twenty years digging a tunnel that is covered only by a poster. Surely the guards would have checked behind the poster occasionally. The prisoners probably would have been moved to other cells at some point during that time. Moreover, the guards probably would have opened the books to check for items hidden in cut-out sections of the pages. However, given the ingenuity of the plan, the deliciousness of Andy’s revenge, and the overall messages of the film, these plot holes can be overlooked. On a one to ten scale, I give The Shawshank Redemption a nine.

How to Make It
Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat until shimmering. (See "Test Kitchen Tip" below.) Add rosemary sprigs, and cook 1 minute, turning with tongs halfway through. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to drain, and sprinkle with kosher salt. Let oil cool, and set aside 1/4 cup.
Combine cranberries and next 3 ingredients in a small bowl. Let stand 15 minutes. Whisk in honey and reserved 1/4 cup rosemary oil.
Combine brown rice and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl. Crush fried rosemary over cooked rice, add cranberry dressing, and toss to combine.
Let rice salad cool 30 minutes before serving, or cover with plastic wrap and chill up to 1 day. Let chilled salad stand at room temperature 15 minutes before serving.
Test Kitchen Tip: Test the readiness of the oil with one rosemary leaf (needle). It should start to sizzle. If not, wait a few seconds and test again.

Dr Pimple Popper, aka Sandra Lee, is famous for her pimple-popping videos
The unnamed man has a sebaceous cyst between his nose and left eye
It gets cut into it and yellow-white goo starts to pour out from the opening
For those with the strongest stomachs, Dr Pimple Popper is back in action.
This time she can be seen squeezing out a huge cyst from the corner of someone’s eye in possibly her most repulsive video yet.
With the large, unsightly lump between his nose and his left eye growing bigger and wrecking his social life – the nervous man has decided to go under the knife.
The revolting footage, originally posted on her YouTube channel, begins with the skin between the patient’s right eye and nose already sliced open, and the softly spoken dermatologist, seeking to reassure him.
The sebaceous or epidermoid cyst is a benign growth commonly found in the skin and typically appears on the face or neck.
But to make things trickier it emerges that previous, botched operations have allowed the cyst to grow back – with the area even more inflamed.
‘I’m sorry this is in such a tough area,’ Dr Sandra Lee says, as she widens the cut above the eye with a small surgical hook and a pair of scissors.
‘Don’t hold your breath – breathe! That’s the most important thing for us.’
The patient indicates lack of breath isn’t going to be a problem. ‘I free dive,’ he mumbles.
Dr Pimple Popper covers his eye with a pad ‘in case it squeezes out’.
‘I see it – it’s right there but it’s stuck to it. It’s not open,’ she says.
She adds: ‘It’s almost like it’s so pristine and pretty that I don’t want to puncture it.’
Then things take a turn for the worse as the doctor begins to gently squeeze the lump.
Its shocking size becomes apparent as it moves around under the patient’s skin near the corner of his eye.
Next she takes a scalpel and cuts through the membrane containing the cyst and thick yellow-white material starts to ooze out, ominously.
And then with the words: ‘One little squeeze,’ she applies pressure with two fingers and a shocking, worm-like trail of cyst gunk pops out.
The pasty contents are mostly composed of old wet skin cells which create the ‘cheesy’ consistency, and are usually foul smelling.
‘I bet you could feel that pressure release actually,’ she says, seeking to reassure the patient.
But there’s still round two. Another squeeze, and inches more of an even thicker trail of white goo, spirals out.
‘We’ve definitely just deflated it, so now carefully we’re going to try and tease the rest of it out.
She calls for more local anaesthetic to be injected into the area by an assistant as she prods the area with forceps.
‘It got inflamed before and it grew back pretty big.
‘It’s really obscured your vision, so it’s cramping your style in other words,’ she says.
She continues to pull with tweezers. ‘We pulled out the top of it, but I want to get out the whole sack intact,’ she adds.
The complete removal of the lump including the entire cyst sac and contents is necessary to ensure that it doesn’t grow back.
As the delicate task of removing the remainder of the cyst continues, the patient explains how he picked Dr Pimple Popper to carry out the procedure having seen her gruesome operations on the internet.
‘We almost have the whole thing,’ she declared. Then she comes across some harder parts – ‘calcified edges’. These are tugged out, too.
Dr Pimple Popper suggests her handwork will be ‘life-changing for her patient’. And he agrees.
‘My family is going to be much happier,’ he says. ‘Every time I see my grandma she says: “When are you going to get that removed”‘
‘I can’t wait for your mum to see you,’ the medic replies. ‘You’re a regular two eye guy now. They say that they call them third eye blind.’
She continues to check that all of the cyst has been removed. ‘After all this work I would hate if it came back,’ she says.
Finally, happy that all of the cyst has been removed, she begins stitching up the wound.
For viewers thinking the horrid fascination is over, she has one more treat in store.
She reaches over for the pad on which the cyst material has been placed and shows the patient the blooded material that she’s just removed.

Travel Diary: My Summer holidays Part 3
My second week of travelling through the very Southern Italy and I am still very impressed of the beauty of the Amalfi Coast! Now I am on the way to Calabria and I just left the Peninsula of Sorrento, Vico Equense and the Capo La Gala hotel!
The hotel itself did a small change from the morning after my last blog entry! The requested and promised Lorenzo Villoresi toiletries were not in the room, but after I asked one of the super-friendly front office ladies, she immediately called all departments to get me the last products they could find! To top this service she also gave us a restaurant recommendation for a really wow-experience- we had the best dinner with locals only during this week!
The room itself was bright, with sea view window, comfy bed and nice bathroom with very small and old-smelling Palais Jamais Etro toiletries!
Furthermore there is a Spa with indoor pool, which is beautifully designed but not good managed (empty Ortigia soaps and terrible smell of dirty water in the corner o the relaxing room), as well as very nice Carthusia toiletries if you book a Prestige room or a suite! I do not like these hotels which make two-class system with the toiletries, this gives me more the feeling of a cheap hotel than a five-star property, but the front desk told me that they will have Carthusia everywhere soon! Again I have to mention the four ladies at the front desk, who are more than very helpful and they are so friendly - they greeted us like friends!
The breakast is a nice Buffet of a 5-star hotel and the service is friendly.
Although they try to be luxury in some aspects, which have to be improved for this price category, they get 8 Points out of 10 for one of the best front office staff I've ever had as a hotel guest!
Yesterday I had a great day in Capri! I went there with the Speed Ferry from Sorrento and experienced one of the most beautiful islands I've ever been! The streets are narrow and you can find every world-famous Designer you can imagine: there is a Prada store next to the funicular, a Louis Vuitton shop in the luxury shopping street and of course the Carthusia factory with the factory store around the corner - a MUST for every Capri visitor!
I have bought a nice 50ml perfume called 1689, which is a great male perfume mix by Carthusia! The price was 55 Euros for 50ml, which is not too overpriced for a nice holiday souvenier! Afterwards I strolled into the shop of the famous Qvisisana Palace, where they have beautiful accessoires in cool beige and brown colours.
After the shopping tour I passed by a very chic restaurant called Edodè, which serves excellent sea food! The only problem or shok for me was the service charge of 14 Euros!!! It was a nice lunch, but not really worth such high obligatory tip or service charge!

Florida is notorious for drug-related issues, and that's mostly due to its geographic location and proximity to international shipping. In response to this unfortunate reality, the Florida legislature has passed several drug-related laws that carry significant consequences for those who are convicted under these statutes.
Adam Frankel, P.A., is a firm that has represented many defendants charged with drug-related offenses, and like any other criminal charge, the best step you can take initially is to contact the office for a complete consultation. Mr. Frankel will work with you towards building a strong defense, and he has handed specific drug issues that are detailed below.
Drug possession charges can vary depending on the specific controlled substance involved, but one commonality is that if you are convicted of possession of a significant amount of any illegal substance, you will face stiff penalties and prison time.
As has been mentioned, the Florida legislature has enacted a stringent statute regarding possession of a controlled substance, and the relevant text of this statute is detailed below.
It is unlawful for any person to knowingly or intentionally:
- Possess a listed chemical with the intent to unlawfully manufacture a controlled substance;
- Possess or distribute a listed chemical knowing, or having reasonable cause to believe, that the listed chemical will be used to unlawfully manufacture a controlled substance;
Any person who violates this section is guilty of a Felony of the Second Degree. A conviction for a second-degree felony carries a potential prison term of up to 15 years.
Sales and Delivery
Drug sales and delivery is also known as "intent to distribute," which is also a serious offense. Generally speaking, any finding of an intention to sell or deliver controlled substances is treated more seriously than simple possession in terms of prison term. Conviction for these types of charges is considered a first-degree felony, depending on the amount of the controlled substance in question. A first-degree felony carries a potential prison term of 30 years.
Drug trafficking is considered a more serious charge than sales and delivery, as this law is meant to deal with those parties who take part in a larger-scale criminal enterprise. As such, the statute regarding trafficking is clear and comes with severe punishment.
Florida statutes define drug trafficking as:
Any person who knowingly sells, purchases, manufactures, delivers, or brings into this state, or who is knowingly in actual or constructive possession of (a controlled substance). These are felonies in nature, and they carry significant prison terms as consequences. In certain cases, a convicted defendant could face life in prison.
Overall, being charged with a drug-related crime in Florida is a serious legal problem. The best way to handle any legal problem is by acting quickly and by contacting Adam Frankel, P.A. for a full consultation. You have a guaranteed right to build a strong defense, so act now to get the process of protecting your rights started.
Begin by entering your contact information into the form fields below.

I will be appearing, with Hal Duncan at the Fringe in Edinburgh on Sun 23rd of August, Fingers Piano Bar, on Frederick Street, 7.50 onwards. Organised by Gavin at Underword . Not sure what I'll be reading yet, most likely Nelson's Blood and something from the new novel. WordDogs will be performing their greatest hits on the 21st.
The joy of being unemployed means I have been able to complete the first draft of a new novel, The Harrowed Garden. On the back of the synopsis for this, and on the strength of Adocentyn, I will now be represented by The McKernan Agency.
And with a new job starting in August its going to be pretty busy.

I'm A Celebrity's Lucy Pargeter has revealed that she fears being given the boot from soap Emmerdale.
Since I'm a Celebrity Lucy has said in a newspaper interview that she now has 'massive storylines' to deal with.
"In the build-up to a big event, you always wonder if it's your turn to go," she told The Sun of the ITV show's storylines.
"And now we have a massive story every month."
Lucy, 36, who finished third in the jungle and complained of being unfairly edited, has played Chas Dingle since 2002.
Pargeter, who was also in Crossroads, cannot imagine having her day job with Emmerdale taken away from her.
"It's the fear of not being able to do the thing you love so much," she said.
Lucy could have been sent home earlier from Australia if not for the dedication of teenage superfan Nicole Hassall, 18.
Nicole ran up a £1,158 phone bill after voting to save her idol 2,316 times.
If she had gone, it would have made Amy Willerton happy. The model told The Sun that Lucy and Laila Morse made her life hell.
“Lucy and Laila were having a go at me from the start," Amy said. "They turned on me and ripped me to hell.
"It was a shock because I never expected that kind of bitchiness.
"It was worse than anything I ever experienced competing in Miss Universe."

We continue the examination of liturgical norms with this sub-section entitled “Norms based upon the didactic and pastoral nature of the Liturgy”
Although the sacred liturgy is above all things the worship of the divine Majesty, it likewise contains much instruction for the faithful (Cf. Council of Trent, Session XXII, Doctrine on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, c. 8.). For in the liturgy God speaks to His people and Christ is still proclaiming His gospel. And the people reply to God both by song and prayer.
This bit repeats an earlier definition of liturgy, namely the worship of God. But it also acknowledges the catechetical dimension of liturgy, a dimension that includes a response of gratitude to God.
Moreover, the prayers addressed to God by the priest who presides over the assembly in the person of Christ are said in the name of the entire holy people and of all present. And the visible signs used by the liturgy to signify invisible divine things have been chosen by Christ or the Church. Thus not only when things are read “which were written for our instruction” (Rom. 15:4), but also when the Church prays or sings or acts, the faith of those taking part is nourished and their minds are raised to God, so that they may offer Him their rational service and more abundantly receive His grace.
These visible signs are important, as their expression is part of the spiritual nourishment the faithful derive from the liturgy. The following three numbered sections outline the principles to be used in the revision of the liturgy. The failure to apply these principles, be it in the imperfect application to post-conciliar liturgy, or the more obstructive attempts to retain the earlier Missals must be dealt with honestly and forthrightly.
Wherefore, in the revision of the liturgy, the following general norms should be observed:
And we’ll get to these starting tomorrow.

Three new professorships to enhance the profile
(Vienna, 25 Feb. 2010) With three newly-created professorships, the Medical University of Vienna is extending the research and teaching competence of its research clusters: Siegfried Trattnig is being given the new Professorship of Radiology specialising in high-field MR, Harald Sitte that of Psychopharmacology, and Berthold Streubel is the Professor of Cytogenetics. All three experts have already used their know-how and innovation so far for the benefit of MedUni Vienna.
Siegfried Trattnig, Professor of Radiology specialising in high-field MR
Univ. Prof. Dr. Trattnig is a pioneer in the field of multiparametric or biochemical imaging of the cartilage and spinal disc with MR sequence and method development on the basis of translational research, i.e. clinically oriented research. His global expertise is reflected in many functions in international societies and reviewer work for renowned scientific journals and research funds, including the National Institute of Health (NIH). Thanks to his research work, the centre of excellence for high-field MR at MedUni Vienna, which has also been equipped with one of the world's first 7 Tesla ultrahigh-field magnetic resonance tomographs since autumn 2008, is one of the leading international centres for advanced musculoskeletal MR with particular expertise in multiparametric or biochemical MR imaging. On his next targets Trattnig explains: "Together with my position as head of the centre of excellence for high-field MR, I want to establish this as a clinical imaging centre for 7 Tesla recognised throughout the world." Trattnig also wants to extend the international cooperation projects in the ultrahigh-field MR sector and further strengthen Vienna as a test site for companies which manufacture coils for 7 Tesla.
Harald Sitte, Professor of Psychopharmacology
Univ. Prof. Dr. Harald Sitte works at the Centre for Physiology and Pharmacology, Institute of Pharmacology at MedUni Vienna and deals with the effect of amphetamines, cocaine and other psychotomimetic substances at the molecular level. The focus of his work based on sophisticated biochemical, microscopic, electrophysiological and molecular biological technologies is the study of the molecular characteristics of neurotransmitter transporters. These are proteins which are concentrated in synaptic structures and here are responsible for rapid removal of neurotransmitters (neuronal messengers) that are released by nerve cells with every electrical stimulation on their endings (synapses). Amphetamines and cocaine also interact mainly with these carrier proteins. While amphetamines are recognised by these proteins as a substrate and are therefore transported, cocaine on the other hand blocks these carrier proteins. "We are interested in understanding how the process of transport and transport blockade functions in atomic detail in order to finally bring this knowledge to the clinical level via the cellular level, and to explain desirable and also undesirable substance effects," says Sitte. As head of the special research area SFB35 »Transmembrane transporters in health and disease«, Sitte is looking for better integration and translation of basic research in structure/effect relationships and cell biology into clinical research.
Berthold Streubel, Professor of Cytogenetics
At the Clinical Institute of Pathology the human geneticist Univ. Prof. Dr. Berthold Streubel studies the connections between genetic and pathological data to discover new findings about the origin and classification of diseases. Areas he has concentrated on so far here are the characterisation of cytogenetic and molecular genetic changes in tumours and the molecular cytogenetic imaging of genetic changes in the tumour microenvironment. Since 2001 Streubel has headed the cytogenetic laboratory he set up at the Clinical Institute of Pathology, and in 2007 he also established a genetic laboratory at the Prince Court Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur/Malaysia. The combination of genetics and pathology under the same structure is seen only rarely internationally. Here Streubel sees extensive possibilities with a wide range of tasks: "Starting from hereditary genetic diseases in the prenatal and postnatal area on to acquired genetic disease in terms of tumours, we can obtain new findings with the correlation of genetic and pathological data and in close cooperation with the clinics." As a vision Streubel sees "genome-based individualised medicine where comprehensive genetic characterisation of the individual patients should be possible."
Rector Wolfgang Schütz says on the appointments: "With the recently created professorships, MedUni Vienna has made key contributions to help shape modern, patient-oriented and individualised medicine, and will once again fulfil its role as the biggest medical school in the world."

How competitive is Team Canada soccer player Rhian Wilkinson?
[np_storybar title=”Canada can’t find finishing touch in draw with New Zealand” link=”http://news.nationalpost.com/sports/soccer/canada-unable-to-find-finishing-touch-in-draw-with-new-zealand”%5D
Canada remains on track at the Women’s World Cup but question-marks are being raised along the way.
Poor finishing cost the Canadian side in a 0-0 draw with New Zealand on Thursday night. And for the second game in a row, there were defensive wobbles despite the clean sheet.
The Canadian women are 8-2-1 in 2015, but have scored just 12 goals in those 11 games. They have just four goals in their last seven games.
When she was five or six years old, playing for Lakeshore on the West Island with a team called the Strawberries, they lost a championship game to the Avocados. After that, she refused to eat avocados.
“I refused to eat avocados until I was 25 years old,” Wilkinson told Montreal filmmaker Bobbi Jo Hart, who made a documentary about Team Canada’s journey to the FIFA Women’s World Cup titled RISE.
Wilkinson then added: “Now I regret those years of deliciousness that I missed out on.”
“That’s true,” Wilkinson’s mother, Shan Evans, recalled Wednesday night from her home in Baie-d’Urfé. “There was a girl on that team named Emily … she was a lot bigger than Rhian, so we called them the dreaded Avocados. In those days, we didn’t eat too many avocados.”
How determined is Rhian Wilkinson?
She didn’t let getting cut once from her high school team at Villa Maria, or being cut by the Lakeshore Lakers inter-city team the first time she tried out, stop her from living her soccer dream.
“She likes to tell kids that you just got to keep on keeping on,” Evans said about her now 33-year-old daughter. “If you want it hard enough, you’ll get there.”
Wilkinson attended Dorset Elementary School in Baie-d’Urfé and as a 12-year-old wrote in her yearbook that her ambition was to be a professional soccer player. But in an interview with the Montreal Gazette last year, Wilkinson said she never actually realized how good she was at soccer until she was offered a full scholarship at age 17 to the University of Tennessee, where she earned a degree in English.
Wilkinson made her debut with the national team as a 20-year-old in 2003 and last March became only the third woman to play in 150 games for Team Canada. She was hoping to make her 164th appearance Thursday night in Edmonton against New Zealand at the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Wilkinson missed Canada’s opening game — a 1-0 win over China on Saturday — while nursing a hamstring injury. Canadian coach John Herdman said Wednesday that Wilkinson was ready to play against New Zealand and would start the game on the bench. She remained there for the entire game as Canada played to a 0-0 tie.
Canada’s next game is Monday night in Montreal against the Netherlands, and Wilkinson’s twin sister, Sara — who lives in Vancouver, went to the game in Edmonton and is now at her mother’s home on the West Island — purchased a block of 50 tickets for the game at Olympic Stadium for family and friends, including brother David. They’re obviously hoping Rhian gets on the field.
“I feel a bit selfish,” Wilkinson’s father, Keith, said Wednesday from his home in Mississauga, Ont. (Her parents divorced while she was in university.) “I’m feeling sorry for myself not being able to watch her, but it’s certainly frustrating for her as well. I’m frustrated, I think more than anything else, that Rhian hasn’t got on the field yet and (as a defender) she would certainly help to close down some of those corridors on the outside.”
Keith Wilkinson, who will be part of the group of 50 at Monday’s game, played for Canada’s national rugby team from 1976-79.
“I got three caps (international appearances), which makes Rhian’s 163 look rather grand,” said Keith, who coaches the Mississauga Blues rugby club.
Rhian also played rugby as a youngster, along with hockey, ringette, basketball, swimming, horseback riding and rock climbing before focusing on soccer. She maintains that playing a variety of sports made her a better soccer player, adding that she fell in love with soccer on her own with no outside pressure.
Her father does admit that when Rhian finally settled on soccer it was “a relief to my wallet.”
Said her mother: “Rhian has always said that she’s very happy that she did a lot of other things (besides soccer). I think that’s quite healthy, actually. Rhian didn’t give up hockey until she was 15 and that really developed her physically … it made her very strong. She was a great skater.
“I think children should be encouraged to try everything. I don’t think it’s a good idea to just focus on one sport from the get-go. Give them lots of opportunities.”
Rhian has made the most of her opportunities. Like all the players on Team Canada — with the possible exception of captain Christine Sinclair — she’ll never get rich from soccer, but has managed to earn a living. She spent five years playing for a women’s pro team in Norway and has also played for National Women’s Soccer League teams in Portland, Ore., and Boston, along with W League teams in Ottawa and Laval.
“As soon as she first touched the ball, she knew how to keep it at the end of her foot … she could just run with the ball,” her mother recalled. “That was quite something for a 5-year-old. She always knew how to handle the ball from the first time she played.
“She’s had so many challenges to actually get on the national team that when she finally got on it we were just very proud of her.
“She’s actually living her dream.”

Benefits of nuts & seeds
The health benefits of nuts and seeds have been known for a while and the research backing these nuggets of nutrition keeps on growing. Example? A study recently carried out at Harvard University showed that regular nut eaters may live longer – talk about the ultimate health benefit! Plus, once considered to be a slimmer’s foe, nuts are well and truly back on the weight-loss menu. In both large population-based studies and clinical trials, nut consumption has been positively linked to weight management, particularly with the prevention of weight gain. In fact, a recent review found that consuming nuts is associated with an average reduction of 0.32% for weight, 0.67% for body mass index (BMI) and 0.84% for waist circumference, reinforcing the message that when nuts are consumed as part of a balanced eating plan, they don’t result in weight gain.
We’ve put the spotlight on some of the most popular nuts and seeds - here’s how to eat and enjoy them every day.
Incredibly versatile, almonds are available raw for snacking, ground for gluten-free baking, or in slivers and flakes for tossing into salads or over fruit salad and yoghurt. A 30g serving provides more than 70 per cent of your daily vitamin E requirements for heart health and antioxidant activity.
Tip: Sprinkle flaked almonds on fruit and no-fat Greek yoghurt.
From the heart of the Amazon rainforest, Brazil nuts are typically harvested from wild trees. They’re the richest dietary source of selenium – a powerful antioxidant important for the immune system. Just two Brazil nuts provide an adult’s recommended daily requirements. Get cracking!
Tip: To make ABC butter, blitz 145g each of unsalted almonds, Brazil nuts and cashews until smooth.
Trending for a while now, chia seeds have claimed their place in breakfast bowls through to desserts. While some of the health claims are too good to be true, chia seeds are a good source of omega-3s and soluble dietary fibre for blood glucose management.
Tip: Mix chia seeds with pureed mango and a little coconut milk, then allow to set in the fridge for brekkie or dessert.
Cashews are a seed grown on the cashew tree. With almost 50 per cent fat content, they’re rich in healthy monounsaturated fats. Eating a handful of nuts at least five times per week, including cashews, can reduce the risk of heart disease by up to 50 per cent.
Tip: Toss some cashews into your stir-fry for added crunch and a nutrient boost.
Made popular in the ’70s, these versatile seeds, also known as linseed, have been studied for their potential protection against various cancers. Flaxseed is rich in plant lignans which are high in antioxidants and fibre.
Tip: To absorb the health benefits of flaxseed, whip up a batch of homemade granola with rolled oats, a little-dried fruit and a spoonful of freshly ground flaxseeds (use a spice grinder and store in the fridge).
Buttery-flavoured macadamia nuts are a source of fibre and are rich in manganese, which is required for metabolism function and several enzyme systems in the body. Just 30g of these nuts provides more than 20 per cent of your daily manganese requirements.
Tip: Crush macadamias and mix with dukkah for a crunchy coating for fish or chicken.
Peanuts are classified as legumes rather than tree nuts. Strange but true! The unusual plant flowers above ground but the peanuts grow beneath the soil. Rich in healthy monounsaturated fats and protein, peanut butter isn’t a no-no when it comes to weight management.
Tip: Bypass the heavily salted beer snacks and choose unsalted peanuts and 100 per cent peanut butters.
These little gems give pesto its nutty taste. They have a proven effect on satiety and studies show nut eaters tend to have a lower body mass index (BMI) than non-nut eaters.
Tip: Mix toasted pine nuts with fresh basil for meatballs.
These beautiful greeny-red nuts are prized in Middle Eastern cooking and are now grown in Australia. Pistachios are one of the few nut sources of resveratrol, the antioxidant that’s also found in red wine.
Tip: Add pistachios to a Moroccan-spiced couscous with fresh orange segments and chopped coriander.
The edible green kernels from pumpkins, also called pepitas, are delicious roasted. Pumpkin seeds are a source of magnesium – an important bone mineral and enzyme cofactor essential for healthy protein metabolism.
Tip: Look for kernels that are bright-green, as brown seeds are a sign that the seeds are off.
With their brain-like shape, it’s no surprise that walnut benefits include boosting your mood and brain power. With high antioxidant activity, walnuts are rich in omega-3s and help combat inflammation. Daily walnut consumption has been linked with better cognitive function in adults.
Tip: Make a Waldorf salad with a twist – combine apple slices, celery, cos lettuce and walnuts. Drizzle with no-fat yoghurt and lemon juice.
Portion sizes of nuts
The 2011 Australian Health Survey found Aussies are eating just 6g of nuts a day on average – that’s well short of the 30g serving size recommended by the Australian Dietary Guidelines. So just how much is 30g of nuts? According to www.nutsforlife.com.au it is:
- 20 almonds
- 10 Brazil nuts
- 15 cashews
- 20 hazelnuts
- 15 macadamias
- 2 tbs pine nuts
- 30 pistachio kernels
- 9 walnuts or a small handful of mixed nuts

Taking the RV down the tree-lined roads of east Texas to our latest home for the week, New Adventure RV Park & Horse Hotel, I immediately felt at home before even arriving. I spent many years in the Piney Woods of the Lone Star State and was happy to pay a visit to them once more.
New Adventure opened just a couple of days prior to us checking in and we truly loved being the first to stay. Though the days were hot like just about every other place in the U.S. in August, the evenings provided a glorious night to view the stars.
As a photographer, my favorite time of day was in the early mornings when 100’s of dragonflies filled the sky. I saw a variety of colors including red, yellow, green, blue, orange, and black and white. My camera was busy trying to capture the beauty of each.
Other wildlife included rabbits, lizards, and a number of birds, particularly hummingbirds and cardinals. The latter tend to be elusive to me so I have very few photos of them.
Just a few miles from the RV park is Lake Livingston State Park. Tip – If you are visiting Texas for any amount of time or if you’re a resident, make sure and purchase an Annual State Park Pass and take the time to use it. You won’t be sorry.
Dan and I had the opportunity to catch up with my girlfriends from high school and college along with their spouses while we were in the area. We enjoyed dinner at Farmhouse on the Lake in Onalaska, Texas, and then we were blessed with a beautiful orange sunset from the deck of the restaurant.
For this Native Texan, no trip to Texas is complete without a stop at Whataburger. It’s been over three months since I had one and that’s just not right. I know everyone has their favorite burger place and they vary from state to state, but this is not your ordinary fast food, at least not to me and millions of Texans. As a child, our family mostly ate at home but I remember as grandkids visiting my grandparents and going with my grandma to Whataburger. Opening the yellow wrapping and unveiling the delectable treasure under the fold was like pulling Christmas paper off a package and finding your favorite toy inside. In fact, I still feel that way. Yum!
Since I also have family in the area, I caught up with many of them. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to visit the Gulf of Mexico, only a couple of hours south of the park, but my cousin did. He brought us back fresh Gulf Coast Shrimp from Rose’s Seafood, Inc. to take with us on our travels. We can’t wait to eat them.
All is all it’s been a great trip to my old stomping grounds. If you have a chance to visit east Texas, I highly recommend it. The tall pines will welcome you as you explore all there is to see and do.

And with that, goes our last link with the golden era of playback singing in Hindi cinema. Manna Dey, who died yesterday, was the last among the six legends of that era—Talat, Mukesh, Rafi, Hemant, and Kishore being the other five—to depart.
Many critics and musicologists say Manna Dey was the most underrated among his peer group. I personally do not subscribe to that view. Any artiste should be considered underrated if his work would not gain the popularity or critical appreciation that it deserves. Neither was the case with Manna Dey. Music composers always turned to Manna Dey when they needed him. They knew his capability. While he came to be identified with classical/philosophical numbers, many of his songs were chartbusters too. Chunari sambhal gori, Pyaar hua ikrar hua, Aaja sanam madhur chandni mein hum, Yeh raat bhigi bhigi, Ae bhai zara dekh ke chalo, and of course, the all time favorite, Ae mere zohara jabi are but just a few examples. I am of course, not counting those that are popular but belong to the category of classical/philosophical numbers which went to become superhits, such as Ae mere pyare watan, Zindagi kaisi hai paheli, Laga chunari mein daag and many more.
The reason he was not elevated to that cult status is because he was never part of any composer’s camp or was identified as any particular actor’s voice. So, he got much less number of songs as compared to others. On the other hand, if you have to calculate the the quality songs sung by any singer as a percentage of all songs sung by that singer, it is a no-brainer that Manna Dey would clearly come on top. It is not that Manna Dey chose to sing only a few good songs. Composers came to him only when they needed him. He was not the default choice. So, he was not underrated; neither by the composers nor by the audience. He was under-used. That did not impact the popularity of his songs. But that did prevent him from being prolific and in the commercial world of Hindi music, that factor worked against him.
A lot of good playlists have been created by admirers and fans of Manna Dey, like this one. So, I am going to refrain from getting into that. What I am doing here is highlighting his contribution to the playback singing in films made in Odia, my mother tongue.
How many would know that among all the greats of Hindi playback singing of that era—the above six as well as Lata, Asha and Geeta Dutt—Manna Dey sang the most number of songs for Odia movies? How many would know that he was the first among these greats to sing for Odia films?
Manna Dey was brought in by Santanu Mohapatra, the music director, who created a unique identity for himself, even as the other three great composers of that era—Balakrushna Dash, Bhubaneswar Mishra and Akshaya Mohanty—often worked with each other and used mostly the same set of singers. It is Mohapatra who brought in popular singers from Hindi cinema to sing for Odia movies. Manna Dey was introduced to Odia film audience in Mohapatra’s first movie as music composer—Suryamukhi. Manna Dey, true to his image in Bombay, rendered a philosophical number, Bandhure…Duniya re samayara naee bahi jae re. Lata Mangeshkar too debuted in Odia playback singing in the same movie, with her popular sei chuna chuna tara.
But while Mohapatra kept experimenting with other Hindi playback singers—he brought in Rafi, Usha Mangeshkar and Lata again in his next movie as composer, Arundhati—other composers did turn to Manna Dey when they needed him. I have listed here seven songs he has sung for Odia movies. Interestingly, they are for seven different movies, composed by six different music directors. So, here too, he clearly did not belong to any camp.
And like in Hindi movies, here too, he was always brought in to sing that odd song with a classical/philosophical undertone. As you can notice, six of the seven songs listed here, clearly belong to these categories. The sole exception is Dharichi jebe chaadibi nahin in Samaya, incidentally composed by the classical duo Pt Bhubaneswar Mishra and Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia under the name, Bhuban-Hari.
Here is the list. The information in the bracket are the name of the film, year of the movie, and the composer’s name.
- Bandhure…Duniare samayara naee bahi jae (Suryamukhi, 1963, Santanu Mohapatra)
- Jali jae dahana dipali (Bhai Bahuja, 1967, Balakrushna Dash)
- Dharichi jebe chaadibi nahin (Samaya, 1975, Bhuban Hari)
- Manini ja’ana karana bahana (Sakhi Gopinath, 1978, Basudev Rath)
- Kichhi nuhe tora, kichhi nuhe mora (Pujarini, 1981, J Adeni)
- Asichhi mu Bagharaja (Arati, 1981, Basudev Rath)
- Balula re baula (Radha, 1984, Guru Mohanty)
My respectful homage to this great singer.

Uyii - Studio Openhouse and Sharing Session
A short introduction - Uyii is actually a local bags maker! Yes, everything is designed and manufactured in Singapore itself, and they use all sorts of fabrics imaginable. Right now they sell via online and consignment basis.
The Open Studio cum Sharing Session was held on 14th November 2014 (Friday) from 6.30pm onwards.
Location: 24 Sin Ming Lane #08-108 Midview City, Singapore 573970.
Besides making bags for sale, or customised bags for corporate clients (yes, they are experimential and gifted enough to take on almost every project that comes they way) - they also conduct Sewing Classes! How cool is that.
Anyway, this is but a very small collection of their bags - they have everything from backpacks to totes to cosmetic pouches etc.
We were brought on a tour of their office / workshop / "factory" when we entered the artistic's heaven. Look at the array of fabrics!
Some interesting gift items and stuffed animals (extinct or endangered animals).
This is where the designers and bag makers manufacture the bags, and where the sewing classes are being conducted as well. I never knew that there were so much differences between sewing machines (i.e. industrial ones and non-industrial ones).
This machine serves an important purpose, and makes a sound like F1 racing car, we were told.
The overall tour was interesting, and they explained to us how the fabrics and materials came about, the origin of Uyii and some of the projects they have undertaken. Then there were refreshments of drinks, Sarpino's pizzas and these really delicious durian / pandan cakes.
At 7.00pm we proceeded into the office area for the talks / sharing sessions by 5 of the members of Uyii -
(i) Liping on "Why I am not an Artist"
(ii) Nur Syahidah on "Japan vs China" - her interesting takeaway from their factory visits to these countries
(iii) Pei Zhi on "Knowledge Acquisition"
(iv) Melvin Tan on "Top 7 Advice for SMEs"
(v) Benny Ng on "Thoughts on Materials, Techniques and Manufacturing" and the growth his company Uyii, which has been around for 4 years.
Yes, this is Benny the boss himself, in a partnership business with his equally talented wife Liping.
Kudos to Uyii for bringing arts alive in Singapore and as a career rather than merely a dream / passion. It is not easy work to manufacture and create from scratch - which is why many people simply outsource to cheap factories overseas. These guys have taken a step forward to DIY and make their own, thus producing quality Made in Singapore bags.
Do visit another of their upcoming sales event in December, at Vivocity Atrium.
Do also go through my review on another event recently - the French Hightea Fundraiser event L'heure du The Singapore 2014 event here. Instagram followers, the ID is WineVenom, thanks.

It’s the time of year when kids write to Santa Claus with their Christmas wishes. Their letters sometimes say as much about the children themselves and the world they live in, as they do about the hottest toys and games.
More than 80 years ago, dozens of kids from Saskatchewan decided to write Conservative Prime Minister R.B. Bennett about their needs.
Maybe it was because their families had hit rock bottom and didn’t know where or who else to turn to.
Or maybe they had been told by their parents that Canada’s millionaire prime minister might be moved to help them.
Whatever the reason, they sat down with pencil or pen and poured out their wishes on whatever paper they could find. The next challenge was to find or borrow the money for a stamp to ensure that their letter reached the prime minister in Ottawa.
Today, the voluminous correspondence, held at Library and Archives Canada, serves as poignant testimony to what children in the province faced during these desperate times.
Every letter was personally acknowledged by Bennett’s secretaries or, on a few occasions, by the prime minister himself. And even though it was jokingly suggested at the time that the Conservative leader’s initials stood for “Rotten Bastard,” he instructed his assistants to tuck a bit of money in the return letters.
These amounts were never large — usually from two to five dollars — but were undoubtedly a windfall for the children. The money came from Bennett’s own pocket, paid from a special fund established for this purpose.
One of the most common requests was for clothing.
James McLaughlin of Tessier needed footwear for “my little brother and myself … we have no shoes to wear daddy cant afford to buy us a pr.”
Edwina Abbott was just as desperate. She had no coat and was “awfully cold every day” on the long walk to and from school. “My parents can’t afford to buy me anything for this winter.”
There was also a demand for sporting goods.
Eight-year-old Horace Gardiner of Ardath wanted “a little red wagon to hitch (his) dog to … but my daddy has no money.”
Piet Hanson dreamed of skates. “All the other boys are skating,” he wrote, “and I think I could skate as good as most of them if I could get a pair of skates, second hand or new size seven.”
Fourteen-year-old Sean Kelly of Player, on the other hand, provided his shirt, pant, and shoe size for a complete baseball uniform. “The colours” he boldly suggested, should be “Black trimmed with white and a P on the front.”
Other children had more pressing needs.
George Roley asked for help with his education. “There is three of us in our grade,” he explained to Bennett, “and none of us can afford to buy the books which are necessary to continue in grade nine. If we could manage to get one set of books, we could all work together.”
Then, there was Barbara Offenhauser of Gurney who had been suffering headaches for two years because she needed eyeglasses.
“I find it so hard to read,” she pleaded, “I am sure you would be awful glad to get help if you were in need so much.”
One of the most touching letters was prepared by young Dody Brandt of Harley who wanted the prime minister to write a special letter for her and her little brother: “I just thought that I would write to you because I thought you would write Santa for me and tell him I was a good girl all the time, and Mama tells me her and Daddy have no money to give Santa for my little brother and me and we can’t hang up our stockings now … do you think Mr. Bennett he would forget Brucy and me … I hope he don’t.”
“Tell him I’m here and I’ll be so good,” she promised.
Dody got three dollars in the return mail, but no accompanying note. She never knew whether Prime Minister Bennett had written Santa Claus on her behalf.

Some Stem-Cells May Not Be The Answer For Heart Disease
The use of stem-cells — building-block cells that are harvested from embryos or adults — to treat heart disease could rely on faith as much as it does science, after billions of dollars in research has not produced the results that researchers have been looking for.
Questions and concerns on the topic arose during the recent opening of the multi-million-dollar Scottish Center for Regenerative Medicine (SCRM) in Edinburgh, chaired by Sir Ian Wilmut, the renowned scientist whose Dolly the sheep clone in 1996, was a groundbreaking step in stem cell technology.
During the opening ceremonies of the Center, Christine Mummery of the Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands discussed how a 2001 claim, based on mice experimentation, indicated that bone-marrow cells could mend heart damaged by coronary disease, caused a mad rush of people to the clinics looking for a cure-all.
With nothing in the way of systematic research in animals, the first patients were being treated within a year, prematurely by Mummery´s account. She argued that the paper that launched the mass stampede was “completely wrong,” and subsequent studies proved that. But despite the findings, the 2001 paper has never been withdrawn.
Norwegian professor Harald Arnesen in 2007 voiced his concerns over those heart trials as well. He concluded that they were “not convincing” and that one German team had achieved striking results only because the control group had done particularly badly. Arnesen called for a moratorium on this kind of stem-cell therapy, based on that research.
But neither Arnesen, nor Mummery, could deter clinicians. Another trial, the largest to date, began in January 2012 and included 3,000 heart-attack patients recruited from across Europe. The trial was funded by the European Union as well.
The idea behind the trials is straightforward. During a heart attack, a clogged blood vessel starves heart muscle of oxygen. Up to a billion heart muscle cells, called cardiomyocytes, can be damaged, and the body responds by replacing them with relatively inflexible scar tissue, which can lead to fatal heart failure.
What is notably surprising, explained Mummery, is that stem cells come in many different forms: Embryonic stem cells are the building-blocks of the body and have the potential to turn into all 200 cell types found in the human body. Adult stem cells, however, are limited in what they can do. For example, bone marrow stem cells only generate blood cells.
So, the 2001 study claiming that bone marrow stem cells could turn into healthy heart muscle was a surprising and exciting claim, although a bold move.
Analysis in the human heart trials have shown that, at best, the amount of blood pumped during a contraction of one heart chamber rose by a mere 5 percent after treatment. While it may be significant for a patient whose heart efficiency has fallen to 30 percent of normal, the results are still relatively meager.
Mummery, et al., said it is difficult to turn stem cells into the right type of cell reliably, and there are a number of other risks, such as uncontrolled growths.
The key to making real progress with stem cells is completing rigorous systematic research before jumping the gun, as the 2001 study did. It takes careful experiments, not belief, to make a huge leap from the laboratory to the hospital.

No One is Watching the Impeachment
Found on my Facebook, my friend is upset that no one in her community is paying any attention to the impeachment. She thinks that is part of our responsibility to be informed.
Respond to Audience Needs
This is propaganda because
She's making an appeal to the large group of people in her social network.

Update Feb 5: Scott Westerfeld's article in the Guardian (UK) summarizes the whole contretemps in one easy to digest article.
Update Feb 4: Truepenny's blog is a great starting point for an update on what's been happening. It includes commentary and links to a follow up letter from Macmillan CEO John Sargent; and an excellent post from Joseph E. Lake Jr. explaining all the people involved in getting one of his books to print and the stages it goes through - which in turn explains why ebooks don't have a much cheaper cost basis than printed books.
Feb 1 2010: For those looking for a quick catchup on the Amazon-Macmillan fight I suggest these three starting points:
The open letter from Macmillan CEO John Sargent on Jan 30:
John Scalzi's post giving the author's point of view.
The Association of Authors' Representatives response as reported in Publishers Weekly.

In his new book, Bill Clinton: An American Journey, author Nigel Hamilton looks at the life experiences that really formed the 42nd president of the United States.
Hamilton looks back at Clinton's upbringing in Arkansas, his student years at Georgetown, Oxford, and Yale universities and his decisions regarding Vietnam and military service.
Read chapter one from Bill Clinton: An American Journey.
THE WALLS OF HOPE
Few American presidents have had so little idea of their family's past as William Jefferson Clinton. On his father's side-well, the many questions that surround his paternity we must defer until later. On his mother's side, however, he had reasonable cause to believe he was a sixth-generation southerner, able to trace his Cassady forebears back through Alabama to South Carolina in the early nineteenth century. Then, in the late nineteenth century, he was told, a certain James Monroe Cassady left Alabama with his wife, Sarah Lou, and his Russell parents-in-law, in a traditional covered wagon. They migrated across the Mississippi River, moving to an area known as the New Hope Community and settling beside Ebenezer Primitive Baptist Church in Bodcaw, Nevada County, Arkansas, a group of extended families numbering perhaps a hundred souls, 110 miles southwest of Little Rock, the state capital. There, in 1886, they built a wooden house, became Arkansans, and began cotton farming.
Whatever had been the motive for the Cassadys' move, however, it did not bring prosperity for the family. Arkansas was, at the end of the nineteenth century, a backward, landlocked state, the twenty-fifth in the Union, some 55,000 square miles in size, bordering the Mississippi on its eastern side and abutting Indian territory on its western frontier. In between, spread out not only across its lowland, delta landscape but up high into its hinterlands, which stretched across the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains to the northwest, the state boasted almost one million people, almost no industry, the worst schools in the nation, and widespread poverty among whites as well as blacks-who, in the wake of slavery and the Civil War, made up more than a fifth of its population.
James Eldridge Cassidy
The Cassady family seemed to go in for presidential names-though none can seriously have imagined that one of their descendants would actually become a U.S. president. William Jefferson Clinton's great-great-grandfather had been baptized with the names George Washington Cassady-though why James Monroe, his eldest son, left Alabama, several years after getting married in 1880, nobody knows. It was on the small cotton farm in Bodcaw, Arkansas, however, that James Monroe's third son, James Eldridge Cassady-William Jefferson Clinton's grandfather-was born on August 19, 1898, the youngest of their five children.
James Eldridge Cassady's childhood was marred by poverty and death. He was orphaned at eight, when his father died of pneumonia on a train trip to the old family home in Alabama. The family farm was sold two years later, in 1906, and, moving with his mother to her widower brother's home, he was thereafter raised by his uncle Bill Russell, alongside Bill's ten children, on whose cotton farm he was expected to work once he left school. This he did at age thirteen, after fifth grade.

Lantos Technologies Receives FDA Clearance for Its 3D Ear Scanning System
Lantos Technologies Inc announced that it has received clearance from the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to market the Lantos 3D Ear Scanning System. Initially developed in the laboratories of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the system streamlines the process of obtaining ear topology measurements for custom-fit in ear devices.
The Lantos system replaces the current laborious and often uncomfortable process of taking a silicone impression for the production of custom-fit ear devices.
Jeffrey Leathe, CEO and chairman of the board at Lantos, commented in the press release, “We are
excited to receive FDA 510(k) clearance; it demonstrates our commitment to offer innovative and disruptive technology that is both safe and efficacious.”
The 3D Ear Scanning System also promises manufacturing efficiencies, simplified logistics, and improved turnaround time for product delivery to the customer.
The company says that the 3D Ear Scanning System will be commercially available later this year.
See related article in the HR’s Archives: Making a Digital Impression Using 3D Ear Canal Scanning.

"We didn't get elected to worry just about the fate of the Republican Party. Our mission is to do everything we can to prevail on what is now, we believe, a global conflict, a fundamental test of the character of the American people, whether or not we're going to be able to prevail against one of the most evil opponents we've ever faced."
Incredible, especially when you consider that no one seems quite sure who this evil opponent is. The closer you look, the murkier it gets. Is it a network of like-minded fundamentalists? A political philosophy? A military tactic? A spiritual movement? A non-state entity? A militia? A gang? An army? A mafia? A pandemic of mental illness? A suicide cult?
Are we checking Shi'a expansionism? Cutting down Wahabbi militarism? Stamping out Ba'athism? Suppressing anti-imperialism? Containing Arab nationalism? Fighting Pashtun revivalism? Flanking Pan-Persianism? Snuffing out terrorism? Securing strategic resources? Protecting sea-lanes? Keeping our friends safe? Exporting democracy? Projecting stability? Heading off genocide? Stopping a civil war?
5 bucks to any journalist who asks the Vice President who, specifically, we are fighting, and what, specifically, we're fighting for. And don't let him say "evil" because that's just bullshit. People only fight evil in comic books.

I stepped on the scale today...
& although it didn't say that I had gained weight, it certainly didn't say that I had lost any significant amount either. Since starting my latest weight-loss journey, I have lost 19lbs. I am happy about that number...but I definitely have more to go.
Since seeing the latest number, I'm feeling... disappointed, however, I'm also feeling a little empowered.
I know what it takes to lose weight...I know I can do this.
I will reach my goal.
I'm thinking about revamping my 100 day challenge and starting something new. Maybe a fruit/veggie juice cleanse...maybe a different workout plan. I don't know...but when I figure something out, I will fill you in.
Thanks for reading!

Meet Estela, one of our buyers at Muttropolis, and her pups, Regina and Ricky. Reggie is small and sassy, while Ricky is like a big teddy bear. These two are part of our modeling crew and wanted to share a few things they can’t wag without!
Reggie is your quintessential Jack Russell – busy, busy, busy! She loves going on walks, but gets a little too excited and pulls on the leash a lot. Her Buddy Belt not only is comfortable, but it eliminates pressure on Reggie’s tracheal area because of its unique step-in design. Buddy belts are genuine leather, so they are extremely long lasting – Reggie’s had hers for five years! Added bonus: once Reggie’s in the harness, she can’t get out, which is a good thing if she’s feeling feisty!
Ricky is a fan of chews, with his favorite being the Braided Bully Stick. These all-natural, long-lasting chews are only made with one ingredient: free-range grass-fed cattle sourced from Brazil. The braided texture makes it perfect for maintaining oral health and encouraging good breath. But always keep an eye on your pups when they are gnawing any chew!
Estela often changes Ricky and Reggie's collars, whether it's for product testing or just a new look so extra engravable ID tags are a must-have item. If they ever get out or wander away when traveling, the finder will have all your information and can let you know they have your pup.
Lastly, Reggie and Ricky could absolutely NEVER wag without their Bowsers Beds! Their matching beds have micro-velvet fabric and a high-memory polyester fiberfill inner cushion, making them super comfy and perfect for a good night’s sleep. The dog’s aren’t the only ones that love these beds – Estela loves these beds because washing them is a breeze – the cover unzips and can be either hand-washed or thrown in the washing machine!
