Aims and Scope
How do memories circulate transnationally and to what effect? How to understand the enduring role of national memories and their simultaneous reconfiguration under globalization? Challenging the methodological nationalism that has until recently dominated the study of memory and heritage, this book charts the rich production of memory across and beyond national borders. Arguing for the fruitfulness of a transnational as distinct from a global approach, it places the issues of circulation, articulation and the scales of remembrance at the centre of its inquiry. In the process, it sheds new light on the ways in which mediation, post-coloniality, migration and regional integration affect both the way we remember and the role of memory in contemporary societies.
In this interdisciplinary collection, humanities and social science scholars examine a rich sample of cases from the nineteenth century on, stretching across the globe from Vietnam to Europe and the Middle East, to the USA and the Pacific, and involving a wide range of cultural practices from quilting to films, from photography to heritage sites and monuments. In the process, the volume develops a new theoretical framework while proposing new methodological tools and resources for studying collective remembrance beyond the nation-state.

Millwall player profile – Tony Warner (1999-2004)
With current goalkeeper Jordan Archer having notched five consecutive clean sheets at The Den, the NewsAtDen team have decided to dedicate this week's player profile to a similarly successful stopper.
In 2000-01, Millwall won the Division Two title with a record 93 points, scoring 89 goals in the process – with nearly a third of them coming from Neil Harris. However, at the other end, two men ensured that the Lions' last nine games at home ended with clean sheets. One of those was Willy Gueret, the other being this week's star – Tony Warner.
Warner signed on a free transfer from Liverpool on July 16, 1999 after spells at Swindon Town, Celtic and Aberdeen on loan.
He made his Millwall debut on the opening day of the 1999-2000 season, in a 1-1 draw at Cardiff City, and went on to be a near ever-present, missing just one game – a 1-1 draw at Wigan Athletic on January 15, with Nigel Spink stepping in in his absence.
The 2000-01 campaign was one of success for the club, with Warner sharing goalkeeping duties with Gueret towards the end of the season, as the Lions looked to wrap up promotion to Division One and the Division Two title.
The Frenchman was McGhee's choice for the LDV Vans Trophy ties against Northampton Town and Swindon Town earlier in the season, but was thrust into the limelight on February 3 when he made his league debut against Bristol Rovers at The Den.
'Denzil', as he became affectionately known due to his likeness to the Only Fools and Horses character, had to make do with a place on the bench for the next 11 games as the club went on a run that included just two defeats, but he reclaimed the number one spot for the trip to Walsall on March 31.
From there, Warner played every minute of every remaining game that season, conceding just twice in eight matches as the Lions wrapped up the title in style, with a 5-0 thumping of Oldham Athletic on the final day.
During this period, the stopper was regularly required to answer the cries of the Den faithful, who routinely asked 'Denzil, Denzil, what's the score?' with the ball inevitably stuck at the other end of the field, such was the Lions' success that year.
Warner played in every league game of the club's first season back in Division One in 2001-02, having to leave the field just once, in the 59th minute of the game at home to Rotherham United, as the Lions cruelly missed out on a shot at the Premier League, thanks to Stern John's injury-time winner for Birmingham City in the play-off semi-final.
2002-03 was another ever-present year for Denzil, but the season opened in controversial circumstances as the Lions slipped to a 6-0 defeat to Rotherham on the opening day at The Den. It was later revealed that a dispute over bonuses affected the performance – most Millwall fans will know Warner's nickname!
(Incidentally, for the return game against the Millers, which Millwall won 3-1 to gain revenge, I was the club's mascot. While lining up in the tunnel, waiting to go out onto the pitch, Warner grabbed my head with such force I thought it was going to be ripped from my shoulders. When asked why he did it he quipped: "I do it to all the mascots – it's for good luck!")
The following season proved to be the goalkeeper's last at The Den, as he was released on a free transfer in the summer of 2004 after the Lions ended the season with an FA Cup Final appearance against Manchester United.
Warner completed the first half of the season without missing a minute, playing in the third-round tie with Walsall on January 4, but he was to play no part in the run-in, as Andy Marshall took his place between the sticks for the remainder of the campaign.
Denzil played his last game in a Millwall shirt on January 17, as a brace from Danny Dichio secured a 2-1 win for the Lions over their future FA Cup semi-final opponents, Sunderland.
He would go on to join Cardiff City before adding a plethora of clubs to his career stats, such as Fulham, Leeds United, Norwich City and Tranmere Rovers, before finishing his playing career with spells abroad at Wellington Phoenix and Floriana and then coming back home to Blackpool and Accrington Stanley.
Would Tony Warner feature in your greatest Millwall XI?

text: The author of the 1997 Booker Prize winning book The God of Small Things is now aspiring to be the Goddess of Big Things. While delivering a lecture, 'The War on People' organised by the Committee for Protection of Democratic Rights in Mumbai, she is reported to have claimed that "It ought to be an armed movement. Gandhian way of opposition needs an audience, which is absent here. People have debated long before choosing this form of struggle."

By Scott Turow
485 pp. Grand Central Publishing. $28.
The Bosnian war and its aftermath is an excellent period in which to set a legal thriller because, more than 20 years after the end of that messy conflict, it is still unclear exactly who was responsible for doing what to whom. The war remains one of the bloodiest whodunits of 21st-century international relations.
The breakup of Yugoslavia, and the declaration of independence by the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992, sparked interethnic carnage in which Bosnian Serbs, Croats and Muslims butchered one another and were murdered with a brutality and complexity that horrified and baffled the outside world in equal measure. At least 100,000 people were killed, many by systematic "ethnic cleansing." The fallout and legal accounting from that war continues today. Radovan Karadzic, the Bosnian Serb leader, was finally captured in Belgrade in 2008 and brought before the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia at The Hague. Last year, Karadzic was sentenced to 40 years in prison for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Scott Turow has set his latest novel, "Testimony," against this background, swapping the American courtrooms of previous books like "Presumed Innocent" and "The Burden of Proof" for the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands. The result is fast-paced, well researched and, like the background it describes, distinctly tangled. This is a crime novel that requires a level of concentration and engagement with international politics some readers may balk at.
After a successful career as a United States attorney and criminal defender, Bill ten Boom, Dutch in origin, all-American in instinct, is having a Force 12 midlife crisis. At the age of 54, he has left his home in Illinois, his wife, his family and his job, concluding that despite all his success, he has never "felt fully at home with myself." At the suggestion of an old friend, a senior intelligence officer, he accepts an offer to work for the I.C.C. at The Hague and prosecute an unsolved case left over from the Bosnian war: the disappearance of several hundred Roma, or Gypsies, in the wake of the conflict.
The Roma were some of the least recognized victims of the Bosnian war, reviled and misunderstood by all sides, as they have been throughout history. In 2004, Boom learns, 400 Roma men, women and children were rounded up by masked gunmen in the middle of the night, trucked to a large cave and then, according to a lone survivor, buried alive. Who killed them? Serb paramilitaries? Islamist jihadis? The Bosnian mafia? Or was this the work of United States forces, carrying out a revenge attack after the Gypsies tipped off the fugitive Serb leader to an impending raid in which several American servicemen were killed? Teasing out the complexities and actors in the conflict requires considerable scene-setting and throat-clearing. "Do you know where Bosnia is?" Boom is asked at the outset. "East of anyplace I've been" is the reply.
Once Turow has taken us through the warring parties, the Dayton Accords that ended the fighting in 1995, the NATO forces deployed to enforce it and America's refusal to participate in the I.C.C., we are off, at a speed that becomes faster and more assured as the novel progresses. There is a particularly fine scene in which Boom finds himself kidnapped by Serb paramilitary thugs, dragged to the top of a salt factory tower and attached by his neck to a colleague, a boozy Belgian who speaks antique Australian argot. If either man moves he will fall off and hang both of them. Boom, believably, wets himself.
Turow successfully recreates the roiling uncertainty of the Bosnian conflict and its consequences, the stew of racism, military aggression and crime, the willingness of ordinary people to visit spectacular cruelty on their neighbors in obedience to ethnic enmities centuries old. Central to his plot is Laza Kajevic, the fugitive Bosnian Serb leader suspected of unleashing his men on the Roma. Despite his disclaimer that "no character is a representation of anyone who has lived," Kajevic is plainly modeled on the real Karadzic, from his elaborate coiffure to his towering arrogance and blithe brutality. I had the chilling experience of meeting Karadzic during one of his visits to the United Nations, and Turow has captured his strange menace, his "gargantuan self-importance" and "serene willingness to be both judge and executioner."
The scene shifts back and forth from the killing fields of Bosnia to the quiet bourgeois certainties of the Netherlands, but Turow seems less comfortable on foreign soil than in the familiar surroundings of his fictional Kindle County. In Bosnia he sees "little whitewashed houses that could have been home to Hansel and Gretel"; a building in The Hague is "reminiscent of Disneyland."
Helping Boom in his investigations is Esma Czarni, a Cambridge-educated barrister, Roma advocate and Gypsy sexpot, with "a great mass of fried-up black hair, … huge, imposing black eyes" and a shapely bosom. "I realized that at some level I had known what was going to happen," Boom says. So does the reader. "'Allow yourself, Bill,' she murmured. … 'Prepare for paradise.'" And sure enough, he does, falling into an "earthquake of pleasure." This is pretty harrowing stuff, but thankfully fairly short-lived.
"Testimony" lacks the tautness of Turow's earlier legal thrillers, and one senses a midlife author attempting, like his midlife character, to find meaning and resolution, and "bring justice to the millions in several nations murdered, tortured, raped, starved and savagely misled" in the course of the Bosnian conflict. This book does not wear its research lightly and tends to inform the reader, a little ponderously, when a lecture is about to begin: "How much pathology you familiar with, Boom?" Then again, few other writers would be prepared to explore the so-called Hague Invasion Act, or have a character declare: "The Service-Members' Protection Act prohibits any American assistance in an I.C.C. investigation."
The Bosnian war erupted from a complex concatenation of hatreds. There was savagery by all, and incompetence on the part of the U.N. and NATO. The Roma, as ever, were caught up in the violence. Hundreds of thousands of confiscated arms were shipped from Bosnia to Iraq. What happened to those weapons has never been fully explained, providing the hinge to Turow's plot.
The Bosnian slaughter offered no easy moral conclusions, and to his credit Turow does not suggest any. "I do not know … what I would do in wartime," one character observes, reflecting on the horrors of the war. "I am not sure the rules would be very clear to me if it were kill or be killed." That is true of most people in wartime, in every age.
This is at once a thriller, a story of middle-aged angst, an exposition of international law and an exploration of an intensely serious and very nasty episode in recent history. Like the international court's attempts to bring retrospective justice to Bosnia, it is imperfect and occasionally confusing, but also admirable and important.

Who should read this post: Entrepreneurs that are constantly having to stand strong while disappointments arise
What you will learn: You'll learn how to move on quickly from things that suck so you can concentrate on what matters.
My favorite class in college was Buddhism. It was my favorite, because it made me think about life in a completely different way. It was only class I took at Rutgers that did that for me.
I remember my Buddhism Professor said Buddhism's purpose is to end suffering. I thought it was farfetched when I first heard it.
My professor told us that it wasn't pain that Buddhism freed us from, but from ignorance. Ignorance he said is the greatest evil in the world. Ignorance is the reason for genocide, war, racism, sexism and everything else that's evil. But it doesn't end there. Usually whenever you're upset – it's because you're being ignorant about something.
Moreover, the class had an open discussion about things in the universe that are permanent, and what we discovered was that there was nothing permanent in this universe. Nothing. Everything eventually ends. I will one day be gone. My parents, the house I live in, all of my friends will all be gone one day. Facebook will be gone one day, Google will be gone one day, the earth, the sun, the galaxy, the universe will all end eventually. Everything I own, everything I do in my life, everything I know that is real will eventually end and be forever forgotten and gone.
Then we played a thought experiment. What if everything was permanent? At first we all thought it would be awesome. I would forever be 21. I wouldn't go bald, I could do whatever I want and won't die, everything I know of would be forever.
But if we're all permanent, then reproduction wouldn't exist – because we're all permanent, and there wouldn't be a purpose to it. Since everything's permanent then what would the point of doing things be? Time wouldn't exist because it's relative and the earth wouldn't spin.
So the class realized that the only way for things to be permanent is for things to never change. To be forever boring, stagnant and the same.
The point my professor made was that life exists because things are impermanent. Life exists because it eventually has to end. Life is short term, but that's what makes it life. Life is awesome and interesting because life has a beginning and an end. Things don't last forever, because if they did then they wouldn't exist.
After hearing that and understanding, realizing and accepting it, I'm not scared of death anymore – I understand it. I'm no longer ignorant to the ideology that life ending is a terrifying and terrible thing.
Free yourself from your fears, by realizing, understanding and accepting what you're being ignorant to. For example, if you find yourself dwelling on mistakes that you made, then you're being ignorant to the fact that mistakes will be made when you start a Company for the first time. Realizing, understanding and accepting that will free yourself from the suffering that those thoughts cause you. By freeing yourself, you will be able to devote your mentality and thoughts towards your Company's goals.
When you're angry, sad or disappointed with your company or freelancing business, ask yourself what you're being ignorant about, understand it, realize it, accept it and end your suffering, because you have no time to waste when your goal is to change the world.

Welcome To Fed Day; Investors Await FOMC Interest-Rate Projections
Focus now turns to the Fed and what Ben Bernanke & Co. have in store regarding interest-rate projections and potentially new rounds of stimulus.
The FOMC statement is due at 12:30 p.m. ET, with the Bernanke press conference expected to follow afterward.
Fed's official stance on the current low interest-rate environment is that it will continue at least through mid-2013. Most market participants believe the Fed will extend that at least through 2014. More specific plans for such action will be detailed this afternoon.
If the projected time for such a move gets extended, stocks could react favorably, as they did when the Fed initially put a time stamp on its interest-rate policy.
To be sure, predicting how stocks will react after an FOMC statement is always tricky. The market has tended to be pretty volatile on these types of days.
Since Dec. 2008, which was the last the Fed shifted its stance on interest rates, the S&P 500 has averaged a 0.4% gain on FOMC days, according to Birinyi Associates. And the index has risen 65% of the time.
But the previous few moves have been staggering without exhibiting any clear-cut patterns.

Test carrier analysis system
Test carrier analysis system for analyzing a constituent of a body fluid, consisting of test carriers (2), code carriers (3) and an evaluation device (4). The test layers (5) of the test carrier (2) contain reagents whose reaction with the sample leads to a color change characteristic of the analysis in a detection layer. The code carriers (3) contain in machine-readable form an evaluation code with an evaluation curve required for the evaluation of the test carriers. The evaluation device (4) comprises a measuring device, a code reading device and evaluation electronics. Possible operating errors are eliminated, almost without additional expenditure, by the fact that single code reader containing two reading units offset relative to one another both laterally and in the reading direction is positioned on a common insertion path (28) both for the test carriers (2) and for the code carriers (3), the test carriers (2) possess a batch-specific identification code in the form of continuous strips, the evaluation code on the code carriers (3) is a two-track code and contains a batch identification, and the evaluation device (4) comprises a comparison unit for checking the correlation of the batch of the respective test carrier (2) to be evaluated with the stored evaluation information.

The invention relates to a test carrier analysis system for analyzing a constituent of a fluid sample, in particular of a body fluid. The system comprises three constituents, namely test carriers which contain in one or more test layers reagents whose reaction with the sample leads to a physically detectable change in a detection layer, code carriers which comprise in machine-readable form an evaluation code which is required for evaluating the physically detectable change and an evaluation device by which the physically detectable change is measured and converted into the analysis result.
Test carrier analysis systems are in common use particularly in medicine for the analysis of urine and blood. The test carriers are usually in the form of test strips. Other forms of test carriers are also used, however, for example flat, approximately square plates in the center of which a test field is situated.
The test layers are brought into contact with the sample, which in the case of the testing of urine generally takes place by immersion. In the case of the testing of blood, a drop of blood is usually dripped onto the test layer.
The physically detectable change is usually a colour change or another optically detectable property, for example fluorescence. Test carriers are also known, however, which are based on other, for example electrochemical principles, where the physically detectable change is related to an electric current or an electric voltage.
The evaluation device possesses a test carrier receiver for positioning in a measuring position a test carrier to be evaluated and a measuring device for measuring the physically detectable change. In the case of a colour change the measuring device contains a reflection photometer for determining the diffuse reflectivity of the detection layer. In the case of electrochemical test carriers the measuring device contains a corresponding current or voltage measurement circuit. In each case it determines a measurement signal R, from which the concentration C sought can be determined.
The test carriers are usually suited specifically to a particular analysis, i.e. one type of test carrier is used for determining the concentration of a particular constituent of a body fluid, said constituent being designated as a parameter. For a particular type of test carrier, for example for the analysis of glucose or cholesterol in blood, there is a particular relationship between the measurement signal R and the concentration C. Said relationship is designated as the evaluation curve.
A special problem has existed in this connection, however, since the very beginnings of quantitative analysis by means of test carriers. The test carriers are in fact produced in batches, and it is as a rule not possible to arrange the manufacturing process so as to be reproducible with such exactness that when high demands are made of the accuracy of the analysis, the same evaluation curve can be used for different manufacturing batches. A large number of suggestions for solving this problem have already been made.
A common method is calibration by means of calibration fluids of known concentration. It is usual in such systems to store in the evaluation instrument a mean evaluation curve which can be corrected from case to case on the basis of calibration measurements. This procedure is time-consuming and complicated, however, and therefore not very suitable particularly in analytical systems which are intended to be used by lay persons (so-called "home monitoring"), to which the invention relates to a particular degree.
In order to remedy this situation, analysis systems have been developed which incorporate, in addition to the test carriers and the evaluation device, special code carriers containing the evaluation information required for the evaluation. In one of the first systems for the analysis of glucose, a system which still worked on the analog electronic principle, use was made as code carriers for this purpose of replaceable graduated discs which were included in the respective test strip packs and whose graduation was coordinated with the respective batch-specific evaluation curve. Later the evaluation code was coded in machine-readable form. In many devices a read-only-memory (ROM) semiconductor module was used, which however contained not a batch-specific, but only a parameter-specific evaluation curve. In one particularly widely distributed system the code carrier consists of a film with a bar code which contains a batch-specific evaluation curve. The evaluation device comprises in such cases a code-reading device for reading the evaluation code and a storage means for storing the evaluation information coded in the evaluation code. The measurement signal is converted into the analysis result in accordance with this information.
The code carriers are in systems of this kind usually included in the test carrier packs. If a new pack of test carriers is opened, the user has in each case to load the code carrier into the evaluation instrument so that the evaluation information can be read and stored. This information can then be used as often as desired for the test carriers of the same pack. There is no certainty, however, that inadvertent use will not be made of a test carrier which does not belong to the batch whose evaluation curve has just been stored.
This problem may be solved by a positive batch identification, in which both the element used for the analysis and the code carrier exhibit a batch identification code which is read and compared in each case by the evaluation device. This arrangement is known, for example, from EP-A-0 353 589 for a system for testing for allergies. The embodiment described there, however, is suitable only for comparatively large laboratory systems.
There is also no risk of confusion with analysis systems in which the evaluation code is attached to the test carriers themselves and is read before each evaluation. In EP-A-73 056 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,592,893 a test strip is described which contains on its underside a bar code with a batch-specific evaluation curve. EP-A-132 790 (corresponding to U.S. Pat. No. 4,578,716) is concerned with the storage of the information in a magnetic layer situated on the test carriers. Such systems are almost completely secure against incorrect operation. This advantage is however offset by high expenditure in the manufacture of the test carriers, because it is necessary to apply to each batch a specific code of comparatively high information density under the difficult accompanying conditions typical of the manufacture of test strips. These problems are discussed in detail in the above-mentioned specifications.
The aim of the invention is to provide a test carrier analysis system which makes possible a precise analysis in accordance with the batch-specific evaluation curve without calibration by the user and in which incorrect operation is virtually eliminated without significantly increased manufacturing costs both as regards the test carriers and as regards the device.
The aim is achieved in the case of an analysis system operating with separate test carriers and code carriers by the combination of the following measures. The evaluation code on the code carriers is a two-track code with separate clock track and data track. There is provided on the test carriers a batch-specific identification code in the form of a bar code, the code bars of said identification code running over the whole width of the test carriers. The code reading device is arranged on the test carrier receiver so that both a test carrier and a code carrier can be inserted optionally and their codes read during the insertion and/or withdrawal. The code reading device comprises two reading units offset relative to one another both laterally and in the insertion direction. The evaluation device is equipped with a comparison unit which serves for comparing the identification code of the test carriers with the batch identification of the evaluation curve and hence for checking the correlation of the batch of the respective test carrier to be evaluated with the stored evaluation information.
The invention makes it possible for the evaluation code to be positively identified and hence for practically complete security to be provided against evaluation errors which could arise due to use of a wrong evaluation curve. This is achieved virtually without additional expenditure. A single code reading device can be used for reading the codes both on the test carriers and on the code carriers. Both codes are self-clocking and thus make possible even with manual movement of the code carriers and test carriers a high degree of reading reliability irrespective of the speed of movement of the code.
The two reading units offset laterally relative to one another are arranged so that one is directed towards the clock track and the other towards the data track of the evaluation code. The two-track code is particularly advantageous in conjunction with test carrier analysis systems, because it makes a very high information density possible and very small code carriers can therefore be used. This is necessary because increasingly smaller test carriers are being used, and if a single insertion path is used, the effective length of the code carriers is dependent on the corresponding length of the test carriers.
The fact that the code on the test carriers has to contain only the batch identification and is formed as a bar code with continuous code bars makes it possible to incorporate the application of the code into the normal test strip manufacturing process without significant additional expenditure. Because the reading units are offset relative to one another also in the direction of the insertion path (i.e. in the reading direction of the code), the identification code on the test strips can be read self-clocking, without a separate clock track being necessary or expensive measures having to be taken with respect to the device. This will be explained in greater detail below.
The bar code may be attached to the code carriers and the test carriers comparatively simply. Bar code reading devices are moreover simple and inexpensive. This is particularly important because the invention is particularly suitable for small, light, portable hand-sets such as are used in particular by diabetics.
For the reading of the code a guided relative movement between test carrier and code carrier is advantageous. The latter can be brought about in a suitable manner by providing the test carrier receiver with a guide which is constructed so that a test carrier can be inserted manually along an insertion path in the direction of the measuring position, the code reading device being arranged on said insertion path.
It is useful if the dimensions of the code carriers and the test carriers are coordinated with one another so that they can be packed together. For example, test strips are usually supplied in tubes and it is useful if the latter also contain a code carrier in strip form. This applies particularly to analysis systems which operate with different types of test carrier for determining different parameters and with which the correct code carriers for the respective parameter therefore have to be read prior to the evaluation. With such multi-parameter systems it would be vary awkward if the code carriers were to be packed separately from the test carriers.
In multi-parameter systems the identification code on the test carriers and the evaluation code on the code carriers contains in each case information on the type of test carrier (i.e. on the parameter), so that not only the correct correlation of the batch, but also the correct correlation of the type of test carrier with the respective evaluation curve can be checked or the respective evaluation curve required be retrieved from the storage means.
The invention will be described in detail below with reference to an embodiment represented diagrammatically in the figures, where
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an analysis system according to the invention;
FIG. 2 a view of the coding side (underside) of a test carrier;
FIG. 3 a view of the coding side of a code carrier;
FIG. 4 a cross-section through the test carrier receiver region of an evaluation device in the insertion direction;
FIG. 5 a cross-section along the line V--V in FIG. 4 (at right angles to the insertion direction);
FIG. 6 a schematic diagram explaining the mode of operation of a code reading device.
FIG. 1 shows a test carrier analysis system 1, consisting of test carriers 2, code carriers 3 and an evaluation device 4.
The code carrier 2 and the test carrier 3 are designed in strip form. They have the same dimensions. Their carrying layer 2a or 3a is formed in each case from a rigid plastics sheet. The test carrier 2 comprises in the exemplifying case shown only a single test field 5 which may consist of a plurality of test layers.
The evaluation device 4 has an introduction opening 6 through which optionally a test carrier 2 or a code carrier 3 can be inserted into the test carrier receiver 7 situated inside the device and represented in dashes in the figure. A control panel 8 is provided for operating the device. The measurement results are indicated on a display 9.
As can be seen in FIG. 2, the test carrier 2 has on its underside a circular opening 10 through which the lowest layer 11 of the test field 5 can be distinguished. This is the detection layer, on which a colour change characteristic of the analysis takes place due to the reaction of the reagents contained in the test field 5 when a sample drop is applied to its top side. This colour change is measured by the evaluation device 4 and converted into the analysis result.
On the underside of the test carrier 2 there is further distinguished an identification code 12 and a bar-shaped mark 13 whose stripes each extend transversely across the whole test carrier.
As can be seen in FIG. 3, the code carrier 3 comprises on its coding side (which is the underside during the introduction into the evaluation device 4) an evaluation code 15 which consists of two tracks running parallel to one another, namely a clock track 16 and a data track 17.
In FIGS. 4 and 5 the front part of the evaluation device 4 is shown in two highly schematized cross-sectional drawings at right angles to one another. The test carrier receiver 7 includes a test carrier support 20, lateral guides 21a, 21b and two pressure springs 22, 23. By means of these elements both a test carrier 2 and a code carrier 3, which is introduced manually into the introduction opening 6, are guided along an insertion path 28 (FIG. 1). If a test carrier is located in the measuring position shown in FIG. 4, a catching element 24 preloaded in the direction of the test carrier support 20 engages with a catching projection 25 in a matching recess 26 in the test carrier 2. The recess 26 is located in the vicinity of the front end, i.e. in the introduction direction, of the test carriers 2. The catching projection 25 has a cross-section reducing in a downward direction. Its bottom end penetrates a depression 19 in the test carrier support 20. The catching projection 25 and the suspension of the catching element 24 are so formed and arranged that they press the test carrier 2 lightly against a stop 27 and thus position it exactly.
In the measuring position the test carrier 2 is pressed by the springs 22, 23 against the test carrier support 20. The pressure springs 22, 23 are constructed so that they yield elastically upwards on the insertion of the test carrier 2 without the hinged lid 30 having to be opened.
The positioning of the test carrier 2 in the measuring position as per FIG. 4 is very important for the accuracy of the evaluation. To enable it to be checked in a simple manner, the test carrier 2 comprises the mark 13 which in the measuring position is arranged opposite the code reading device 42.
The top covering of the test carrier receiver 7 is formed by a hinged lid 30, which is pivotable about hinges 31 (FIG. 1). During the introduction of the test carrier 2 the hinged lid 30 is in the closed position, the lateral guide 21 for the test carrier 2 being formed by the sides of a groove 32 constructed in the hinged lid 30. The hinged lid 30 capable of being swung open is required in particular on the following grounds.
Firstly, it is opened in order to apply to the test field 5 a drop of blood to be analyzed. The evaluation device 4 is in fact specifically constructed for so-called "non-wipeable" test carriers with which the application of the blood sample takes place onto the test carrier situated in the measuring position. This represents a considerable simplification of the handling compared with previously known test carrier analysis systems where the drop of blood has had to be dripped onto a test carrier situated outside the device, a certain waiting time then observed, and after this the excess blood wiped or washed off and finally the test carrier inserted into the device and evaluated. The invention is suitable to a particular degree for test carrier analysis systems which operate with non-wipeable test carriers.
Secondly, the test carrier 2 soiled after application of the blood sample may be removed upwards with the hinged lid 30 open, without soiling the components of the test carrier receiver 7. In order to prevent inadvertent removal of the test carrier 2 without opening of the hinged lid 30, the catching element 24 is supported movably in the direction of the introduction opening 6 (against a spring tension) and above it there is arranged on the hinged lid 30 a blocking element 33 by means of which the opening movement of the catching element (upwards) is blocked if one pulls on the test carrier 2 in the removal direction.
Thirdly, the test carrier support 20, which is held withdrawable by a catching lug 34 in a corresponding recess 35 in the bottom part 36, can be removed with the hinged lid 30 open and cleaned outside the device.
The test carrier 2 is so positioned in the measuring position that the measurement surface of the evaluation layer 11 is located exactly opposite a measurement window 37 provided in the test carrier support 20 and through which a reflection photometric measuring device 38 can measure the colour change of the evaluation layer 11. The measuring device 38 is conventionally constructed and can for example consist of a light emitting diode 39 as light transmitter and a photo transistor 40 as detector. A blank value measurement is preferably carried out on the dry detection layer 11 prior to the application of the sample.
On the insertion path 28 there is arranged between the lateral guides 21a, 21b and in the insertion direction in front of the measuring device 38 a code reading device 42, which includes two reading units 43 and 44 arranged offset laterally relative to one another. Miniaturized bar code readers of the usual type, merely indicated diagrammatically in the drawing, are involved here, which are based on the reflection principle and contain in each case a light transmitter and a light receiver.
A special feature consists in the fact that the code reading device 42 penetrates into a recess 20b in the test carrier support 20a in such a way that the upper sealing surface 45 of the code reading device is aligned approximately with the part which surrounds it of the surface 20a of the test carrier support 20, or projects slightly above said surface 20a. The block-shaped code reading device 42 is held by a holding part 42a in the casing of the evaluation device 4.
Between the test carrier receiver 20 and the bottom part 36 there runs a printed circuit board which incorporates the evaluation electronics. The electronic components can for example be located on the underside of the p.c. board 47, the bottom part 36 comprising a corresponding depression (not shown).
The evaluation electronics designated overall as 50 are represented in FIG. 5 simply in abstract form as a block. They incorporate measurement electronics 51, to which the measuring device 38 is connected and which generate from the output signal of the detector 40 a measurement signal, code reading electronics 52 for processing the signals of the reading units 43, 44 and a digital electronic unit 53 which contains a microprocessor. The digital electronic unit 53 comprises in particular a storage means 54 for storing items of information which have been read by the reading units 43, 44, together with a comparison unit 55.
The code reading device 42 serves for reading both the evaluation code 15 located on the code carriers 3 and the identification code 12 located on the test carriers 2. A code carrier 3 is preferably inserted up to the stop 27; it is not held firmly by the catching element 24 since it does not comprise a recess. The evaluation code 15 is read during the withdrawal. The reading of the identification code 12 takes place on the other hand each time a test carrier 2 is inserted. The code carrier 3 has to be inserted and read in each case before the first test carrier 2 of the respective batch is evaluated. The evaluation information coded in the evaluation code 15 contains the batch-specific evaluation curve of the test carrier batch and is stored in the storage means 54.
If a test carrier 2 is subsequently inserted, its identification code 12 is read and compared by means of the comparison circuit 55 with a batch identification which is likewise contained in the evaluation information stored in the storage means 54. If both batch identifications coincide, the measurement signal is converted into the analysis result by means of the stored evaluation curve. If on the other hand the batch of the inserted test carrier does not coincide with the batch of the stored evaluation curve, no evaluation takes place, instead an indication of the error is displayed on the display 9.
It is naturally also possible to load a plurality of different information items in succession if the storage means 54 is designed accordingly. This is particularly appropriate if the evaluation device 4 is to be used for the analysis of different parameters which are determined in random order. In this case the corresponding different types of code carrier are with advantage inserted in succession and the items of evaluation information coded in the evaluation codes 15 are stored. Whenever a test carrier 2 is inserted, its type and batch are recognized by means of the identification code 12 and a correlation with the stored evaluation curve of the corresponding parameter takes place, it being possible in turn also in this case for the correct batch information to be checked in the manner described above.
The invention thus makes simple handling of single-parameter or multi-parameter test carrier analysis systems possible, with virtually complete security against evaluation errors being achieved. The expenditure on equipment is on the other hand barely increased, because a single code reading device can be used both for reading the identification code on the test carriers and for reading the evaluation code on the code carriers.
The reading units 43, 44 of the code reading device 42 are offset relative to one another laterally (i.e. in the direction of the code bars) in such a way that they detect the clock track 16 and the data track 17 of the evaluation code 15 separately. A two-track code, such as is shown in FIG. 3, permits a high information density in a confined space and can at the same time be read independently of the insertion rate. This is important because preferably the code carriers 3, as well as the test carriers 2, are to be inserted into the evaluation device 4 manually without the assistance of electric power and because on the code carrier 3, which matches the test carriers 2 in size, only very little space is available for the application of the evaluation code 15. The test carriers and the code carriers preferably have a length of less then 7 cm, particularly preferably not more than 5 cm, and a width of less than 6 mm, preferably less than 5 mm. The width should come to less than 20% of the length.
The code carrier 3 length which can be used for the coding is smaller than the distance between the catching projection 25 and the code reading device 42. It comes to only about 2 cm in an embodiment of the invention tested under practical conditions. In comparison to a previously known device in which a comparatively long film strip was used as code carrier, some 60% of the information is accommodated on a quarter of the coding distance in this case. In the case of a two-track code of the kind shown in FIG. 3, each bar and each bar interval corresponds to one information unit (bit) whose content is determined by whether there is a code bar or not at the corresponding point on the data track. There are therefore virtually no intervals which are not used for the transmission of items of information.
The evaluation code 15 on the code carriers 3 can be applied comparatively cheaply and with high accuracy by screen printing.
With the test carriers 2 also, the same length is in principle available for the application of a code as with the code carriers. This length is however additionally shortened if--as in the case of the test carrier shown--the colour change on the evaluation layer 11 is evaluated on the same side (in the present case the underside) on which the code is also situated. In addition to this, the difficult conditions explained in detail in EP-A-73 056 (corresponding to U.S. Pat. No. 4,592,893) must be allowed for in the application of codes to test carriers. Test carriers in strip form are usually manufactured in the form of a long production ribbon whose width matches the length of the test carriers and onto which one or more test fields are applied continuously in the form of a narrow ribbon. Only at the end of the production process is the production ribbon divided up at right angles to its longitudinal direction into a large number of test strips. For the application of the bar code this means that the latter has to be printed continuously over the entire length of the initial ribbon (length for example 200 m). Moreover, the accuracy of the printing must be sufficiently good that it guarantees reliable reading of the code. Processes with which these conditions can be met are described in the named publications, but they are very expensive.
In the context of the present invention use is made as identification code 12 of a code whose code bars run over the whole width of the test carriers 2, so that the printing can be incorporated relatively simply and cheaply into the usual test carrier manufacturing process.
Although the identification code 12 is a simple single-track code, it is self-clocking in the sense that it can be read reliably independently of the insertion rate. This will be explained with reference to FIG. 6.
For the sake of clarity FIG. 6 shows the reading units 43 and 44 next to the identification code 12 inserted along the insertion path 28, whereas they are of course in reality arranged below the code. The reading units 43, 44 are offset relative to one another in the direction of the insertion path 28 (i.e. in the reading direction of the code). The identification code 12 possesses code bars of different width. The spacing of the reading units 43, 44 and the width and sequence of the code bars are coordinated with one another so that both reading units either see the same value ("black" or "white") or a different value. This corresponds to the bit values 0 and 1 and is independent of fluctuations in the insertion rate. In the position shown in FIG. 6, for example, the reading unit 44 "sees" a bar, 43 a bar interval. After a short displacement in the direction 28, 44 "sees" an interval and 43 a bar. On further displacement the center broad bar stands opposite both reading units, so that both see "black". A state in which both reading units see "white" is naturally also possible, but is not shown. To sum up, therefore, it is possible with such a coding method to represent reliably at will four different states independently of fluctuations in the insertion rate.
If the reading units 43, 44 of the code reading device 42 are offset relative to one another in the insertion direction as shown, this offsetting naturally has to be allowed for in the layout of the two-track code according to FIG. 3. This is however possible without any problem.

Cameron helped me undertake a major rebuild of the family holiday home on the South Coast.
I had attempted to render the ground floor walls and I made a meal of it.
Cameron and his team not only completed a perfect finish to the walls but also cleaned up my sad attempts at rendering.
A thoroughly professional job as the photos will show.
The finished product has received many favourable comments from locals and the work has transformed the home completely, from being a holiday shack to a modern stylish home.
I am completely satisfied with the finished product and with the cost.
I would recommend Cams Rendering to anyone requiring rendering work both in terms of "workmanship and price."

Hyundai Edges Buick As Top-Ranked Auto Brand In China3
Sponsored Links
Buick has long been a favorite of Chinese auto buyers, and the success of the brand shows no signs of slowing down in the immediate future. But, as they say, competition is good for everybody. General Motors isn't the only company to see a bright, and profitable, future in the Chinese market. Volkswagen, Ford and Toyota are all trying to grab a piece of the booming market.
But it's Hyundai who has recently topped a state-backed survey of consumers, according to Bloomberg. Chinese auto buyers named Hyundai as the top-ranked mass-market brand in the country. The results just edge the Buick brand, and Volkswagen.
Although deliveries from Hyundai fell during the first quarter of 2015, it didn't stop Chinese buyers from scooping up nearly every vehicle to land on the brand's Chinese retail presence. Despite being nudged out of first, Buick vehicles continue to sell as quickly as ever. The Buick brand's 740 dealerships continue to deliver vehicles at an alarming pace, and over six million vehicles have been sold since the brand's introduction in 1998. In 2014 alone, 919,582 Buicks were sold to Chinese buyers.
The Chinese Brand Power Index is in its fifth year, and was organized through interviews with over 11,000 Chinese consumers in 30 cities, funded by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology

About Us
Randwick horseman Grahame Begg is like a craftsman honouring a long time family tradition, training thoroughbreds isn't a job or even a career.
"It is a way of life" is how Grahame describes training racehorses.
Grahame prides himself on honing his charges from a boutique stable that runs as a closely-knit affair.
Grahame believes he is fortunate to have had learned the trade from his father, internationally respected former trainer Neville Begg.
The Begg philosophy of unhurried individual attention has resulted in a total of 58 Stakes winners to date.
The Begg family's genuine love of horses is almost tangible.
Grahame Begg was never going to be anything but a racehorse trainer.
He loves horses, loves winning races and loves being able to spend time with his family.
Grahame did his apprenticeship working as travelling foreman for his father Neville for 12 years before taking over the operation founded in 1967 when Neville took up the challenge of training in Hong Kong in 1990.
During the time, Grahame worked as Neville's right hand man and they had many Group horses including November Rain, Dalmacia, Veloso, Heat Of The Moment, La Cassiere and Travelight.
Emancipation was the best however, and Grahame was the 1984 Australian Horse of the Year's constant companion.
Grahame's schooling paid off quickly and he struck gold within five weeks of obtaining his license in 1990, winning the Group One Doomben Cup [then called the Fourex Cup] with Eye Of The Sky and Whisked added to his great start when taking out the Thousand Guineas at Caulfield later that year.
During the 90s, Grahame won seven Group One races, a start any trainer would dream of so quickly after commencing their career.
Full siblings Telesto, Fraternity and Bonanova won four Group One's between them while Eye Of The Sky, Whisked and the striking Mahaya claimed the other three.
Another highlight of Grahame's early career was winning back to back Hong Kong International Bowls [now Group One] with Monopolize in 1995 and 1996, the first Australian trainer to do so.
The turn of the century saw the Grahame Begg stable continue its success through the exploits of high class gallopers such as All Silent, Our Egyptian Raine, Perfect Promise, Written Tycoon and Palacio De Cristal, all flourishing as racehorses under the care of the Randwick-based trainer.
In the past two seasons the stable has won or placed in over 20 stakes races including Group One wins with All Silent and Group Two Villiers Stakes winner Palacio de Cristal, along with Ilovethiscity, Pagan Princess, Mac Chois & Secret Admirer.

The men's fashion weeks for Spring/Summer 2019 have just commenced. This season, there are some notable debuts as well as some guest designer shows. Our Fashion Director Ian will be reporting live from Florence, Milan and Paris. But before that, here are five shows we're most excited for.
Craig Green at Pitti Uomo 94
British designer Craig Green will be skipping London for Florence this season as the guest designer at Pitti Uomo 94. Following the footsteps of Raf Simons, Gosha Rubinsky and JW Anderson, Green's exclusive show will take place on June 14. Known for his signature sculptural silhouettes, it'll be interesting to see how the designer presents his collection in the Tuscan city that is predominantly strong in suiting.
Kim Jones' debut at Dior Homme
After a couple of major shakeups in LVMH, the former Creative Director of Louis Vuitton is set to bring a new attitude to Dior Homme. Known for his luxury sportswear-inspired style, Kim Jones' arrival at the Parisien label is definitely a breathe of new air. His first design for Dior Homme was a Morning Coat donned by David Beckham at the recent Royal Wedding. Could Kim excell in tailoring? We'll find out on 23rd of June.
Virgil Abloh's first collection for Louis Vuitton
The appointment of Virgil Abloh at a luxury brand with hundred years of history like Louis Vuitton is a rather controversial one. Virgil, and his highly-successful street brand Off-White, are somewhat the current zeitgeist who appeal to the Generation Z of social media. By hiring Virgil, Louis Vuitton is signaling a post-modern marketing direction which targets heavily at the youth. Virgil gave a sneak preview his designs for LV in recent events (see above). But regardless of the designs, it'll surely gather a lot of attention online.
Raf Simons returns to Paris
The City of Lights is hot on designers' list recently. Following the news of Gucci staging its SS19 show in Paris; Raf is set to return to the PFW calendar after three seasons in New York. The show will take place on June 20.
Jacquemus' first menswear collection
Golden boy, Simon Porte Jacquemus announced the news of his first hommes collection in February and immediately got everyone excited. More recently, he released the first image from the collection, named "Gadjo" (a gypsy slang word meaning "man"), featuring rugby player Yoann Maestri. Could Jacquemus Hommes be as successful as its womenswear, if not better? Keep a lookout on June 25 at Jacquemus' hometown in Marseille.

Lately I have been reading Laura Ashley - the Colour Book: Using Colour to Decorate Your Home, which was published back in 1995. It came to me unexpectedly. The mother of one of my son's friends brought me a bag of books. I hadn't even asked her if I could borrow any, we were just talking and the next thing I knew she had pulled some books from her shelves and brought them to me. The decorating style in the book is different from my personal style, but the information on decorating with colours is valid and I find it very inspirational.
I'm not someone who has decorated much with red. Maybe it's the dominant quality of the colour that has held me back. However, I'm always drawn to earthy reds, to the spicy reds of India and the terracotta of Italy. That top photo, which is part of a Moroccan styling by West Elm, represents these shades very well (here is another shot that shows the contrast of neutrals).
If you are scared of using red then simply use flowers to bring some red into your home every now and then. It adds a little passion, just for a few days until the flowers start to fade.
Have a wonderful weekend!
