Nowadays, cost of health services is rising and increased the pressure on budgets. Planning and implementing best practices behavior can help in reducing costs. Cost-benefit analysis and control measures are inevitable to optimize the use of available resources for a cost-effective and efficient health services. The Book is based on a cross-sectional study to perform cost-benefit analysis and examine cost control in governmental Primary Health Care centers in Gaza governorates. Finding showed that there was inappropriate entry of data about medication in 2011. The results also revealed that drugs, medical material and supplies are the main cost component which accounted for 71.8% on 2013. Wages and salaries accounted for 7% of total costs. Medical directors, and administrative directors had low level of control over cost components, also there was no duties segregation in pharmacy and responsibility over medicines is not divided between the employees upon a clear strategy. In conclusion, the book emphasized the need to consider every health care center as a unit in order to apply the Cost Based Activities approach in Health Care Sector.

Fair is foul, and fouls are fair
One does not expect flawless play action in the NBA preseason. The Nuggets, who'd already played one game, were a smidgen less sloppy, but only a smidgen. (And they'd lost that earlier game, to the Lakers in San Diego.) The Thunder started out minus four players due to injury Jones, Ibaka, Collison and Perkins so big guys were at a premium. Steven Adams, starting in the middle, knocked down seven of eight shots for 15 points to lead OKC; he also collected six fouls. We saw a lot of shots not going in: the Nuggets shot close to 60 percent, the Thunder less than 40. (You want to see a curious line? Jeremy Lamb was 9-10 from the foul line, 1-14 from anywhere else.) And the fouls! Fifty-eight of them, 32 by OKC. (Which means 26 from Denver.) The last OKC lead was four points, early in the fourth; Denver then ran off an 18-2 run to go up 12, and held on for a 114-101 win.
Timofey Mozgov led all the scorers with 20 points; Jusuf Nurkić demonstrated both rebounding (15 boards) and histrionic (quelle flop) talent. And since the Nuggets have only one preseason game at home this one it's probably a good thing they got to show the home crowd some good stuff. As for the Thunder, well, if they're back at full strength Friday at Dallas, maybe we can figure out something. I'm thinking, though, that the guys who came in for training camp Lance Thomas, Michael Jenkins and Talib Zanna really seem to be busting a nut for a roster spot, which is always a good sign.

Walters and Dave D. Nagel, Houston, Tex., assignors to American Machine & Foundry Company, New York, N.Y., a corporation of New Jersey Filed Sept. 23, 1968, Ser. No. 761,604 Int. Cl. G01r 33/12 US. Cl. 32437 4 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This application discloses a downhole inspection sonde of the type used for detecting cracks and flaws in the metal casing of an oil well or the like. Magnetic flux leakage detection is used, and a magnetizer having axially-spaced cylindrical pole pieces is effective in saturating the ferromagnetic casing. An array of detectors having an improved detector shoe configuration is positioned around the core of the magnetizer between the pole pieces to scan the casing walls.
Oil and gas wells are usually lined during or after completion of drilling with steel casing. Depending upon the structure of the various formations through which the well passes, the casing may extend only partially, or all the way to the bottom of the hole. For deep wells, the diameter of casing used would step down for increasing depth, just as the diameter of the hole drilled would be stepped down. For example, a hole going down 20,000 feet may be perhaps 24" diameter for the first few hundred feet and taper to perhaps 6 to 8" at the bottom, using standard sizes of casing for the various sections in between.
A well which has been drilled and cased in a producing field may be active for many, many years. Using various secondary recovery techniques, and perhaps producing in sequence from several reservoirs at different vertical levels in succession, the working lifetime of the Well is extended. Also the requirement of producing at much less than the maximum rate for conservation purposes, as defined by the allowables, requires the well to be in operable condition for many additional years.
The steel well casing would of course be tested for defects before being placed in the well, but the extended lifetime subjects the casing to corrosion pitting, electrolytic pitting, fatigue failure due to the pressures involved, various stresses due to shifting of the earth formations, and other factors which may cause rupture or serious danger of failure of the casing. It is for these reasons necessary to inspect or log a well to determine the conditions of the well casing. This is especially true prior to investing in a secondary recovery technique for the well. In some cases a defective casing might be repaired, or in other situations the well might be abandoned rather than attempting to replace the casing. In either event the condition must be detected.
The apparatus for inspection of the well casing must in some manner be adapted to withstand the immense pressures which occur at the depths of the well, the pressure of course depending upon the depth of the well and reaching magnitudes of perhaps 12,000 psi. or more. Usually an inspection device, sometimes referred to as a sonde, is lowered down the well while the condition of the casing is recorded as various inspection devices scan the casing wall, the detected information being conveyed back up to the well head through conductors in the cable which supports the sonde. Since the sonde may be "ice lowered into well casings extending for as deep as a few miles underground, the number of conductors in the cable, as well as the weight of the sonde, must be kept at a minimum to in turn reduce the necessary weight of the cable itself. To reduce the number of conductors in the supporting cable, the many channels of signals derived from the detectors which scan the casing wall, for full 360 scan, are processed and combined or multiplexed within the sonde itself. This requires that sealed chambers be provided within the sonde, hermetically sealed against the well pressure, to house the electronic components for the signal processing channels. These sealed housings of course add to the bulk and weight of the sonde.
Magnetic inspection is employed, and this requires a magnetizer to produce flux to saturate the ferromagnetic casing in the vicinity of the inspection operation. Since the casing is itself fairly thick, the size of the core needed in the magnetizer to saturate the casing approaches a large fraction of the interior diameter of the casing itself. This requirement becomes critical since the detectors usually must be positioned within the same cross-sectional space as the iron of the magnetizer core, and so the detectors and their mounting arrangements must be made of minimum radial volume. Of course the detector shoes must resiliently engage the casing wall to account for changes in casing diameter and to permit bypassing obstructions. Also, a passageway sealed against the immense pressure difierentials must extend through most of the length of the sonde assembly for connections to the detectors and all of the electronic circuitry as well as to the magnetizer winding. This passageway of course occupies cross-sectional area of the magnetizer core required for saturating the casing wall.
In view of the foregoing, it is a primary feature of the present invention to provide inspection apparatus for well casings or the like which is adapted for deployment at the maximum depth likely to be encountered in a typical well. Another feature is to provide an inspection device using flux leakage detection and including a magnetizer capable of saturating the casing wall while providing sealed chambers for the electronic circuitry and providing an array of resiliently mounted flux leakage detectors to provide full 360 scanning. An additional feature is the provision of centralizer assemblies positioned to maintain the detector apparatus and magnetizers centered along the axis of the casing, while providing sufficient volume in the sealed housing for the electronic components. An important feature is the construction of the detector shoes used for the inspection apparatus to provide full circumferential scanning for varying pipe diameters, along with a short overall length for the detector array, but avoiding problems of damage to the detector shoes by gaps at junctures between sections of the casing.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, these and other features are provided in casing inspection apparatus which includes a long cylindrical magnetizer having pole pieces of cylindrical shape which couple flux into the casing wall, a magnetizer winding surrounding a core extending between the pole pieces. Detector shoes positioned in an array surrounding the core scan for flux perturbations caused by flaws, and the electrical conductors for the detectors and for energizing the magnetizer winding are coupled into a passageway within the core in a sealed manner, the interior of the apparatus being sealed to withstand well pressure. The conductors for the detectors are sealed by axially extending connector devices, rather than radially extending sealed connectors which would restrict the core area. The detectors are spring mounted by flat springs occupying little of the central diameter. A unique hold-in technique permits the detector shoes to be retracted while the sonde is lowered down-hole, then extended for the logging run, i.e. as the sonde is pulled back up the hole. Centralizers are positioned above and below the pole pieces, and the interior space within the centralizers is used for the high power dissipation portions of the electronics system. The symmetrical housings for the electronic components are sealed against well pressure, but access is permitted by sliding sealed collars. An important feature of the invention is the reduced axial length of the assembly, permitting lighter weight and less power dissipation in the magnetizer. This is provided in part by unique detector shoe structures which use short detector housings but employ outriggers which extend the effective detector shoe length to avoid damage at gaps where pipe is joined.
Novel features which are believed characteristic of this invention are set forth in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, as well as further features and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following detailed description of particular embodiments, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is an elevation view of the entire inspection assembly of the invention in place within a well casing;
FIG. 2 is a detail view in section of the magnetizer and detector portion of the apparatus of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the central portion of the apparatus of FIG. 1 taken along the line 3-3 in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a pictorial view of the detector shoes in the central portion of the apparatus of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is a detail view in section of the upper part of the detector shoe spring mounting arrangement;
FIG. 6 is a section of a part of the structure of FIG. 5, taken along the line 66 in FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 is a detail view in section of the lower end of the spring mounting arrangement for the detector shoes at one operative position;
FIG. 8 is a view as in FIG. 7 at another operative position.
With reference to FIG. 1, an inspection device according to the invention is shown in an operative position within a well casing 10, the well casing being of course surrounded by rock or other earth formation and extending many thousands of feet underground. The inspection device used in this apparatus or sonde includes upper and lower magnetic pole pieces 11 and 12 which are elongated cylindrical members for coupling magnetic flux into the pipe, evenly distributed around the circumference of the wall of the casing or pipe. The flux is generated within a magnetic core 13 by a winding 14 surrounding the core.
The magnetic fiux flows through a closed loop including the core 13, the pole pieces 11 and 12, and the wall of the casing surrounding the pole pieces, along with the cylindrical section of the casing between the pole pieces 11 and 12. Spring mounted in a central location between the pole pieces in a manner as will be described is a plurality of detector shoes 15 containing suitable transducers for detecting the magnetic fiux as may be deflected out of the casing by flaws, cracks, voids, corrosion pits or other anomalies in the metal casing. These detectors are positioned in a staggered, overlapping array to produce full 360 scanning of the casing. The manner of suspending the detector shoes and providing electrical connections to all of the transducers while maintaining an hermetic seal against the vast pressures encountered, as well as the configuration of the detector shoes themselves, are important features of the invention and will be described in detail below, following an overall description of the entire inspection assembly or sonde.
The magnetizer including the pole pieces 11 and 12, and the detector arrangement including the shoes 15, are positioned between a pair of centralizer assemblies 16 and 17 which function to maintain the inspection device centered along the axis of the casing 10. The magnetizer arrangement will cause the device to be attracted to the metal walls, and might tend to pull the assembly into direct engagement with one side of the casing, this tendency being opposed by the centralizers 16 and 17. The upper centralizer 16 includes six wheels 18 positioned on arms 19 which are spring biased in an outward position. The lower centralizer assembly 17 is constructed exactly like the upper assembly. In place of the devices shown with wheels, centralizers of the type having collars and springlike members may be used as sold under the trade name Weatherford, or by other manufacturers.
Located outward of the centralizers, i.e. above the centralizer assembly 16 and below the centralizer assembly 17, are a pair of sealed housings 20 and 21 which contain the canisters of electronic equipment for the many channels of information from the search coils in the detector shoes. These housings are sealed against the high pressures encountered, and as will be explained the canisters containing the electronic equipment include an elongated assembly which passes through the centralizer assemblies for maximum utilization of space, also taking maximum advantage of the heat dissipation character of the structure. Each of the housings 20 and 21 includes an access collar 22 or 23, respectively, to permit ready access to the electronics assembly for adjusting the gain of the amplifiers in the many channels, these collars of course being sealed in the position shown. The collars slide axially along the housings to expose access holes.
The entire assembly is suspended by an armored cable 25 which engages a so-called fishing neck of standard construction which in this case includes a rubber bumper 26 and a housing 27 for anchoring the steel covering of the cable 25 and providing couplings for the electrical conductors in the cable. The lower end of the housing 27 is connected in a sealed manner to the upper end of the housing 20 for the electronics package. The extreme lower tip of the assembly would include a bumper 28.
The maximum diameter of any part of the entire assembly of FIG. 1 must be less than the minimum ID of the casing 10 through which the sonde must be pulled. On the other hand, the radial distance between the surfaces of the pole pieces 11 and 12 and the casing, producing air gaps 29 and 30, should be as short as possible to reduce the reluctance in the magnetic circuit. Also it may be noted that well casing such as the casing 10 is manufactured in many standard sizes, and as a practical matter a different diameter sonde cannot be manufactured for each casing ID. Thus the diameter of the pole pieces 11 and 12 would have to be smaller than the minimum ID of the smallest standard casing size in which a particular design of the sonde is to be used. In order to partially alleviate the resultant wide air gaps 29 and 30 when used with a slightly larger casing, sleeves 31 and 32 of magnetic material may be positioned over the pole pieces 11 and 12 to extend the effective diameter of the pole pieces for larger pipe. The sleeves 31 and 32 are of ID just slightly greater than the maximum ID of any other part of the entire assembly of FIG. 1 so that these sleeves may be fitted onto the pole pieces 11 and 12 without disassembling the entire unit. The pole pieces 11 and 12 underneath the sleeves 31 and 32 would be just slightly stepped in diameter, increasing toward the center of the unit or toward the detectors 15, to aid in fitting the sleeves quite closely over the pole pieces, whereas the effect of the steps when the sleeves are not used on the magnetic flux pattern is negligible.
Referring now to FIG. 2, as Well as to the views of FIGS. 3 and 4, the structure of the detector shoes will be considered in more detail. It is noted that each of the shoes 15 is mounted on a spring member 33 which is formed in a manner such that the shoes are urged outward against the casing wall. The upper and lower ends of the spring members 33 are mounted as will be later described. The shoes 15 are secured to the central part of the spring members 33 by suitable fasteners such as screws. Each of the shoes 15 includes a detector housing portion 34 and an elongated outrigger 35. Adjacent ones of the detector shoes have the outriggers 35 pointing in opposite directions so that the detector portions or housings 34 form an overlapping or staggered array as best seen in FIG. 4 to assure full 360 scanning of the casing wall. The array of detector shoes defines two axially spaced bands of detectors. The curvature of the outer face of the housing portions 34 of the detector shoes 15 would approximately correspond to the curvature of the ID of the pipe 10 for nominal wall thickness as perhaps best seen in FIG. 3. However, this curvature would provide an approximate fit for deviations from nominal pipe diameter or pipe ID of perhaps plus or minus /2. This permits the same sonde to be used with nominal casing sizes over a narrow range. In addition, the detection function would be operative when passing through major restrictions in the casing as at junctions. When the array of FIG. 4 expands and contracts for changes in pipe ID, the actual detector coils within adjacent shoes will still overlap so the entire circumference is scanned.
The functions of the outriggers 35 are several. First it will be understood that the length, in a vertical direction as seen in the figures or in an operative position in the well casing, should be as short as possible for the detector shoes, as well as for the entire assembly. That is, the distance between the pole pieces 11 and 12 should be as short as possible consistent with as adequate detection function to reduce the power requirements for the magnetizer and reduce the overall weight of the assembly, and thus minimize the initial cost, maintenance, and operating expense of the inspection apparatus. In this regard it might be noted that it is not uncommon to encounter well casing of inside diameter of ten inches to twelve inches. Since the pole pieces 11 and 12 must be close to the interior surface of the casing, so that the air gaps 29 and 30 will be a minimum, and since the core 13 extends along the entire length from the top of the pole piece 11 to the bottom of the pole piece 12 at a diameter to provide a cross-section exceeding the area of the casing wall, it is apparent that the weight of the assembly of FIG. 1 which must be lowered down hole may be quite heavy. For this reason its length must be minimized. However, the detector apparatus will encounter junctures in the pipe about every 30 feet, and at each juncture will be a gap which may be of varying width depending upon the extent to which the two adjoining joints or sections of easing are fitted together or torqued in tightening the threaded parts. If the gap happens to be a maximum, a detector shoe having a small axial length, i.e., length parallel to the axis of the casing, the shoe could drop into the gap and engage the threads of the collar, producing excessive abrasion. Also the shoes catch upon the oncoming edge and tend to rip the detector shoe away from the suspension springs. Even if the encounter with a gap of this type were not catastrophic, the vibration, chatter and bouncing of the detector shoes caused by the shoes being allowed to drop into the gap would create excessive noise in the log or record. Accordingly, the overall length of the housing 34 and outrigger 35 is sufficient to prevent the shoes from dropping into gaps which would be encountered. I
In addition to the function of the outriggers 35 in bridging the gap between adjacent pipe sections, the outriggers also aid in assuring that the detector shoes will ride fiat. Friction caused by the face of the detector shoe engaging the casing wall might cause the front or leading edge of the shoe to heel and permit the trailing edge to ride up or chatter off the wall. This tendency would be enhanced by having housings 34 of short length: as for optimum shortening of the overall assembly. Thus, the outriggers produce a long effective length while providing a short housing 34 and minimum length of the overall array. Also the length provided by the outriggers serves to equalize the load on the two spring segments of the spring members 33, aiding in avoiding canting or heeling of the shoes in operation. That is, the length equalizes the dragging friction or spreads it out over a longer axial length.
Within the housing portion 34 of the detector shoe 15 is provided a recess 36 into which is positioned adjacent, or perhaps overlapping, search coils 38 which are of the flux leakage detector type. These coils 38 may comprise merely one or more turns of small diameter wire which will of course intercept flux perturbations as may be caused by flaws, cracks or other anomalies in the ferromagnetic pipe walls. In addition, a pair of eddy current flaw detector coils 37 are driven by a high frequency signal and the effect of the adjacent pipe wall as an eddy current load upon the signal at this frequency for each coil is detected. This technique for detection using both flux leakage and eddy current principles is particularly effective in inspection for flaws on both the inside and outside surfaces of the casing wall, and is similar to that set forth in US. patent application Serial No. 752,092 filed July 15, 1968; assigned to the assignee of the present invention. Within the cavity 36 of each shoe 15 are located two of the coils 37 and two of the coils 38, thus five conductors are needed for each detector shoe, one for each coil and one ground. These conductors are bunched into a small cable 39 existing through an aperture in the spring member 33 and running along the inside face of the spring up to the top end of the spring, attached to the spring by suitable fasteners (not shown). The recess 36 in each detector shoe 15 is filled and sealed by a suitable potting material which holds the coils in place. It is noted that the shoe assembly is subjected to the full pressure within the well, so cavities Within the detector shoe 15 which might be at atmospheric pressure are to be avoided, but this is not always possible. The coils and conductors with the necessary soldered joints within the shoe preferably are sealed against moisture by an epoxy.
Referring to FIG. 2 and 3, the core 13 for the magnetizer includes a small central bore 40 through which all of the electrical conductors for the assembly are threaded. This bore 40 passes also through the two pole pieces 11 and 12. The bore 40 should be as small as possible so as to avoid reducing the effective cross-sectional area of the core. The bore 40 communicates at each end thereof With the chambers which contain the canisters of electronic equipment in the housings 20 and 21, and so this bore 40 is at adrnospheric pressure and thus must be sealed against the high pressures encountered in the well.
The two conductors for the magnetizing winding 14 are connected to the central bore 40 by narrow radial bores 41 which are counterbored at their outer ends and include threaded or otherwise sealed connectors 42 for sealing against the high pressures involved. In addition, the epoxy impregnated windings themselves overlying the holes for the connectors 42 aid in sealing, and further a nonmagnetic sleeve 43 overlies the windings and is sealed at each end by an annular O-ring 44 (seen in FIGS. 5 and 7). Thus connection is made to the magnetizer winding 14 from the central bore 40 without unduly restricting the magnetic flux path in the core 13 as might be necessary if the entire pressure differential was borne by a conventional connector between the OD of the core 13 and the central bore 40.
The connection of the upper ends of the spring members 33, and the coupling for the cables 39 into the central bore 40, is illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6. An annular ring 45 surrounds the upper end of the core 13 just beneath the pole piece 11. All twelve of the springs 33 are secured to slots in the outer face of the annular ring 45 by fasteners such as bolts 46. Several radial bores 47 extend inward to open into the central bore 40 of the core 13, and an annular chamber 48 communicating with these bores 47 provides the passage for the electrical conductors. The bores 47 and chamber 48, just as the center bore 40, will be at atmospheric pressure whereas the outer face of the ring 45 will be exposed to well pressure at up to 12,000
psi. Accordingly, sealing is provided by pairs of annular O-rings 49 between the ID of the ring 45 and the outer surface of the core 13, as well as between the CD of the ring 45 and the ID of a recess in the pole piece 11. Twelve small female connector sockets 50 fit within recesses in the ring 45, each connector having five sockets 51 for the five conductors from each detector shoe. Wires soldered to the lower terminals of the sockets 51 are bunched and brought out as a cable 52 through bore 53, through gasket 62, then the cable 52 continues and passes through the radial bores 47 into the central bore 40. It is noted that five conductors for each of twelve shoes make necessary sixty conductors coupled from the outer face or the detector shoes to the inner bore of the core 13. A conventional sixty conductor connector able to withstand a pressure differential of 12,000 p.s.i. would occupy a large part of the entire cross-sectional area of the core 13, thus it is necessary to effect the seal in a structure external to the core 13, preferably by a structure which is principally axially or circumferentially aligned, as distinguished from radially oriented, so as not to use up the cross-sectional core area. Restrictions of the area of the core 13 would of course increase the reluctance of the magnetic circuit and require a larger overall structure and more power dissipated in the magnetizer winding. To this end, the seal is effected at and below the female connector 50. A cavity 54 beneath the connector 50, defined with the aid of an annular ring 55 which limits the depth the female connector 50 can move into its recess in the ring 45, provides a sealing volume which is filled with a suitable sealant such as epoxy. A quantity of sealant is placed in the recess before the female connector 50 is inserted, then as the connector 50 is pushed in, an annular O-ring 56 aids in permitting the female connector to act as a piston to force the sealant into all crevices of the recess 54 and into the bore 53 surrounding the cable 52. The sockets 51 are of course molded into the conector 50 and thus are fairly well sealed, while the combination of the sealant within the recess 54 and the bore 53 along with O-ring 56 provides the necessary seal within the ring 45 rather than occupying radial space within the core.
Also seen in FIGS. and 6, a connector plug 57 having five pins 58 mating with the five sockets 51 is connected to the inner face of the end of the spring member 33. There are of course twelve of these male connectors 57, one for each detector shoe and spring assembly. The cable 39 passes through a slot 59 at the lower outside face of the ring 45 into a recess 60 in the connector 57 where the five individual wires are soldered to the tops of the pins 58. The recess 60 may of course be filled with a sealant after the solder connections are made, although this sealant is not to withstand the pressure differential but instead to keep moisture away from the solder connections. It is noted that t the twelve spring members 33 along with the connectors 57 attached thereto may be removed without disturbing the seal, it being necessary to sometimes remove the detector shoes to replace defective units in the field. It is noted that the ring 45 includes an outwardly extending lip 61 seen in FIG. 5 which engages the lower end of the pole piece 11 so that the ring 45 will not be forced into the recess 48 due to the pressure differential existing between the outer-lower face of the ring 45 and the recess 48. An annular gasket 62 is positioned at the inner face of the ring 45.
Referring now to FIG. 7, the slidable mounting arrangement for the lower end of the spring members 33 is illustrated. The twelve springs 33 terminate in twelve slots 63 within an annular ring 64 which is secured to the core 13 by suitable fasteners 65 such as bolts. The lower ends of the spring members 33 include slots 66 which permit the springs to slide within the slots 63, moving with respect to the bolts 65. This sliding action is necessary to permit the springs to flex inward as the diameter of the casing changes or as obstructions or colla rs are encountered. The springs 33 are individually suspended by this arrangement to move independentlyof one another.
At one stage in the operation it may be desired to hold all of the shoes in a retracted position close to the core 13, and for this purpose a detent arrangement is provided at the lower tip of the spring members. At the lower end of each member 33 is positioned a detent 67 which includes an inwardly extending ear 68. A ring 69 surrounds the core 13 at this position, and includes an outwardly extending lip to engage the ears 68. When the ring 69 is in the position shown in FIG. 7, the springs are free to move with no restrictions. However, if all of the detector shoes 15 are pushed inward so that all of the springs 33 flex inward to the maximum extent, the detent member 67 will move to the right to a position as seen in FIG. 8. Now the ring 69 may be moved up against the cars '68 of the detents by a suitable tool inserted into the area to the left of the ring 69. The magnetizer winding 14 would now be energized, and the magnetic field created in the core 13 and pole piece 12 would be sufficient to hold the ring 69 in the position shown in FIG. 8 and prevent the detents '67 from moving to the left, thus preventing the springs 33 from flexing outward. So long as the magnetizer remains energized the detector shoes will remain in the retracted position. This feature would be utilized to lower the sonde all the way to the bottom of the Well while holding the shoes in the retracted condition by keeping the magnetizer winding energized. When at the bottom of the well, the magnetizer winding would be tie-energized to permit the action of the springs 33 to pull the detents 67 and the ring 69 upward, or to the left in the view of FIGS. 7 and 8. The magnetizer winding 14 would be energized again, but the magnetic field produced would not be sufficient to pull the ring 69 back toward the pole piece, but instead the ring 69 would stay in the position of 'FIG. 7. The shoes 15 and springs 33 would be free to flex inward or outward as necessary. To prevent the detents 67 from sticking against the pole piece 12 when it is magnetized, the detents 67 should be of nonmagnetic material. To increase the holding power for the ring 69, a slanting recess as indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 8 may be used, the ring 69 being shaped accordingly.
What is claimed is:
1. Inspection apparatus for inspecting pipe, such as well casing or the like comprising an elongated magnetizer assembly including a pair of generally cylindrical elongated pole pieces having a diameter slightly less than the inside diameter of the casing,
a central core between said pole pieces, the core having a diameter slightly less than that of the pole pieces,
a magnetizing winding surrounding said core,
detector means comprising a plurality of detector shoes positioned between said pole pieces in a cylindrical array surrounding said core, the detector shoes being adapted to engage the interior surface of the casing to scan substantially the entire circumference thereof,
the detector shoes being arranged in a pair of axially spaced bands, each detector shoe including an elongated outrigger fixed thereto and extending axially in the direction of the other band of detector shoes, the outrigger of each shoe being adapted to contact the inner surface of the casing and extending between a pair of detector shoes in the other band.
2. The inspection apparatus claimed in claim 1 and further including a plurality of elongated spring means for respectively mounting each of said detector shoes, each spring means extending axially between said pole pieces,
one end of each of the spring means being slidably connected relative to said core to permit flexing of the spring means,
means for selectively engaging said one end of each of the spring means in a flattened condition to thus hold the detector shoes retracted from an inspection position.
3. The inspection apparatus claimed in claim 2 wherein the means for selectively engaging said one end of each of the spring means includes magnetic means operable upon energization of the magnetizing windmg.
4. The inspection apparatus claimed in claim 3 wherein said one end of each of the spring means includes pole piece when the magnetizing Winding is energized to a given condition.

My Social Media Vacation Begins Today
Posted on April 23, 2010
Filed Under digital-lifestlye | 4 Comments
Last night when I went to bed, I shut down Twitter (HootSuite, really) and Facebook and FriendFeed. I'm not going to look at or log in to any of those things for the next 30 days. There might be slight exceptions if I get a Facebook invite to something timely I want to accept but even if I have to sneak back in, I'm not reading and digging through status updates.
This is a mental health strategy for me. I have found that the always-on constant update of social media has worn on me more and more over the last year. When I turned it off for a weekend or to go do things around my town, it actually felt like a relief to me to be able to step back from that. Bear in mind, without any sort of smart phone I'm only a fraction as connected as most of my friends and still it wore on me over time. I understand the ways it can be useful but we need to think about what it does to us long term to be connected so much of our lives to these fast twitch update systems. You ignore the long term consequences of your productivity tools at your own peril. Even crystal meth is an effective productivity tool if you only consider the short term.
I still need to do my writeup on this year's CREATE South conference (now one week in the past.) The only reason I didn't start this vacation earlier was because of that conference. A certain bit of coordination and promotion was aided by Twitter and Facebook so I bit the bullet and stayed connected until the mopping up was mostly done. It made me feel like a bit of a fraud during the conference itself because a number of our sessions were about strategies for using social media to add value to your life or business while I was just counting the days until I could get social media out of my life for a month. This year the official CREATE South Twitter account was completely run by Tee Morris and that was a fabulous success. Not only did he do a job wildly better than I could have, it meant I didn't have to stay locked in on that account. The result was better and I was happier.
I have a goal (not a death pact, just a goal) to blog at least once per day over this period. As I put more energy into the ephemera of social media, I put less into the more durable work on this blog and podcast. As I've said before, blogging for yourself in your own domain is like farming, posting your witticism into Twitter is like sharecropping. The work is the same, it's just someone else cashing out most of the value. I hope to move my mix into things of lasting value to myself.
On top of that, my goal is to spend less time in front of the computer altogether. If there is one take-away lesson from CREATE South, it is that you get a lot of bang for your buck engaging with the people and the world around you and we geeks do too little of that. I want to attend the next Rivertown Social in downtown Conway. I want to start kayaking up the Waccamaw River. I can walk to the river landing, for pete's sake. As I put it yesterday, "I want to spend less time with Facebook and more time with faces and books." It's shut down until May 23rd. We'll see where it goes after that, but for now I am taking a well deserved break and it feels great.
There is a posted comment policy for this blog. Please respect the rules.

I think posting to twitter is worse than sharecropping. Twitter is hyper-compressed and highly contextual. It's inherrently ephemeral, and preserving the tweets and the shortened URLs doesn't change that. I doubt folks 50 years from now will be able to make much sense of all the tweet streams. My guess is that few will ever bother to munge through them.

Dom, that photo is of a place I rode my bike to 2 weekends ago. The kayak rental place is in that building on the boardwalk. The photo itself was taken from the middle of the river.
Hugh, all true. As ephemeral as blog posts are, Twitter is 1000x worse. I can't even find my own ones for any reasonable time period in the past. It's easier to go find them in FriendFeed. All part of making where I spend time line up with what matters to me, which is not an internet problem but one of the basic life problems of the human condition.

The Oyo State Government has reiterated that concrete arrangements have been put in place to ensure that it clears the salary arrears of its workers' and pensioners, saying that payment of October and November salaries have been made as further demonstration of its commitment to improving the lives of the people and the welfare of its workers especially in these times of economic recession.
The state Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Mr. Toye Arulogun, who reaffirmed the government's commitment to the payment of workers' salaries, explained that despite the lingering shortfall from Federation Account, the Abiola Ajimobi-led administration will continue to make concerted efforts to meet its wage obligation to the state workforce.
Arulogun said the government is committed to the welfare of the people especially its workforce, noting that two months salaries have been paid for three consecutive months from December 2016.
According to the Commissioner, "The state government is committed to clearing the backlog of salaries owed its workers. In December 2016, the government paid two months salaries for the months of June/July 2016 and repeated the same feat in February 2017 to cater for August/September 2016. The government has now approved and released October/November 2016 payment this month, March 2017, which is another two months' salary.
"We are doing a lot of financial reengineering to expedite action on payment of arrears to workers in order to cushion the effects of recession in the country. The State Government wants to start paying salaries promptly and that is why more efforts are being put in place to clear the backlogs.
"You will recall that Ajimobi promised at the 2017 interfaith service with the workers that Oyo State will survive this period. The governor is not relenting in fulfilling his electioneering of welfarism, human face and improvement of lives to the people and so many cost saving measures have been put in place to cut government spending," he emphasised.
Arulogun stated that the payment of the two months salary for October and November 2016 was in line with the governor's commitment to the welfare of workers, reassuring that the government would continue to give workers' welfare topmost priority.

As part of our Rapture Series. Session 04 will be on the Jewish Wedding System. We will demonstrate using a good Hermeneutic to establish the original culture and customs and Hebrew idioms associated with the original audience. You will be blessed and thrilled as you begin to see the separate phases of the Jewish Wedding System and how it parallels the true Church (Bride of Christ). We will want to pay close attention to the Fetching of the Bride alluded by the Lord Jesus in John 14:1-4. This is the Rapture of the Church. See Session 04 of our audio series. Shalom, Keith (more…)
The way Harold Camping approaches biblical interpretation could be summarized as reckless. First, as demonstrated above, he often takes prophecies that apply to a specific historical period and relates them instead to the end times. The context of Daniel 8:14 makes it clear that the prophecy of 2,300 days applies to the time when a tyrant by the name of Antiochus Epiphanes desecrated the Temple in Jerusalem. It was 2,300 days later, after the Maccabean Revolt, that the Temple was cleansed and rededicated. The prophecy has nothing to do with the end times or with a cleansing of the Church. (more…)
God never pours out His wrath without warning because "He does not wish that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). Jesus said that when we see all these signs come together, He will be "right at the door," ready to return (Matthew 24:33). God is warning, and Jesus is at the gates of Heaven waiting for His Father's command. Signs of the Times Everywhere!
Not sure look at this list and the scripture tags. Google on our site search engine and see the signs are in abundance, but God's people are asleep. Share the love of Jesus with people. Are you ready?
A UFO hovering over the Temple Mount? Alien implants and the doctor who removes them? Captured video footage of otherworldly orbs, real UFO's, cattle mutilations and abductions? Who else brings this kind of shocking material to the program but L.A. Marzulli? His new DVD, The Watchers, might frighten you. You better watch his interview with Gary first! This is for mature Christians who understand or are looking for a link for "The Days of Noah" Jesus mentioned at the time of His Second Coming. (more…)
"The final move has begun," said Ahmadinejad. "We are in the middle of a world revolution managed by this dear (12th Imam). A great awakening is unfolding. One can witness the hand of Imam in managing it." Below we have a short article and interestingly enough. It bears looking into. When we look at Daniel's 10 toes/10 horns the AC comes out of this final 10 regions/nations. I want to interject, if this plays any role, then the Rapture is imminent before the antichrist is revealed. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 Joel Richardson explains the details of what the Islamic Messiah expectations are. Actually sounds like an antichrist. A must view for any serious bible prophecy student. (more…)
The basic premise of Kingdom Theology is that man lost dominion over the earth when Adam and Eve succumbed to Satan's temptation in the Garden of Eden. God "lost control" of the earth to Satan at that time, and has since been looking for a "covenant people" who will be His "extension," or "expression," in the earth and take dominion back from Satan. This is to be accomplished through certain "over comers" who, by yielding themselves to the authority of God's apostles and prophets for the Kingdom Age, will take control of the kingdoms of this world.

We make the distinction between the two 42 month periods as the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation because of the stark contrast between both periods. In the first period, The Tribulation will be marked by rebuilding, global peace and harmony, and the Anti-Christ's building up of his world system. (Excerpt from below) By Dave White. (more…)

In Part 2 of Ed Chumney's excellent study on the idioms of the Feast of Trumpets. Many people are confused and even more don't know our cultural and spiritual roots of the Hebrew culture.

A brief introduction to The Feasts of the LORD. In short God gave 7 feasts of His own choosing. These would be practices for the coming Messiah.

text: WYDaily.com is your source for free news and information in Williamsburg, James City & York Counties. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama rang the First Baptist Freedom Bell with 99-year-old Ruth Bonner and her family during the Sept. 24 dedication ceremony of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington D.C. Bonner's father was born into slavery, but escaped to freedom and eventually graduated from medical school. (NMAAHC Live Stream) This past year was a big one for Colonial Williamsburg. From the president's announcement of a shift in priorities, with a focus on new initiatives and reorganization, to a record lambing season and the launch of mobile applications, taking history into the digital era, here are seven defining moments for Colonial Williamsburg in 2016. Colonial Williamsburg announced layoffs, reorganization While touting an increase in both attendance and revenue in 2015, Colonial Williamsburg Foundation President Mitchell Reiss announced positions would be eliminated as part of a reorganization in a letter to employees on Jan. 21. The letter outlined Colonial Williamsburg's plans to refocus on educational initiatives, which will put more emphasis on the Historic Area and its costumed interpreters and other front-line educators, and require the elimination of staff largely "higher up the chain of command" as well as in the Hospitality Division to free up the necessary financial resources for the change. The reorganization was expected to result in a 2.3 percent reduction in the workforce, or about 60 workers, according to past WYDaily coverage. For more information on the layoffs and reorganization click here. The restored First Baptist Church bell. (Courtesy Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) Colonial Williamsburg, First Baptist Church celebrated its history with 'Let Freedom Ring' program The First Baptist Church "Freedom Bell" rang out for the first time in over half a century in February in celebration of Black History Month. The "Let Freedom Ring" programming, from Colonial Williamsburg and First Baptist Church, slated for Black History Month called on locals and visitors to the Historic Triangle to each take a turn at ringing the bell and reflecting on the meaning of freedom and equality. The "Freedom Bell" even made it to the Sept. 24 dedication ceremony of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington D.C., where President Obama and his family rang the bell.

An interpreter fires a replica "Brown Bess" musket like those used in the American Revolution. (Courtesy Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) Colonial Williamsburg musket range opening brought revolutionary experience to visitors Colonial Williamsburg's musket range celebrated its grand opening March 19, giving visitors the opportunity to operate a firearm under the instruction of a costumed expert for the first time in the living museum's history. "For decades our guests could learn about these pieces and watch them being operated," said Peter Seibert, Colonial Williamsburg director of historic trades and skills. "Now they can really experience them – the weight, the smell, and the sound – not to mention how challenging their operation was for people whose lives often depended on it." For more information on the musket range click here. The lambing season was a huge success this year at Colonial Williamsburg. (Aine Cain/WYDaily) Record lambing season at Colonial Williamsburg, and the passing of a 'beloved' lamb Visitors to Colonial Williamsburg may have found themselves counting sheep in the spring, with good reason. Elaine Shirley, the historic park's manager of rare breeds, said that this past year's lambing season produced a record 24 lambs. Lambing season ran smoothly, despite a late start and such a large group of lambs, she said. Colonial Williamsburg reported in August the death of a little lamb named Edmund who was born with congenital defects. Edmund had become a small internet sensation when Colonial Williamsburg published a video of the lamb being bottle-fed by staff after he was rejected by his mother. For more information about the lambs click here. Colonial Williamsburg opened doors with free access to digital library Students, teachers and lifelong learners across the globe now have access to the educational resources of Colonial Williamsburg. The Colonial Williamsburg Education Resource Library, which includes educational videos and supporting course content, was made available free online beginning Aug. 16. The digital library contains 800 minutes of video, background texts, primary source media, and more than 100 lesson plans. The database is open to the general public in an effort by Colonial Williamsburg to provide more information on United States history from the Jamestown settlement until the end of the Civil War. For more information about the digital library click here. Aspiring master Pokemon trainers took a break from a Colonial Williamsburg tour to catch wild Pokemon. (Andrew Harris/WYDaily) Pokemon GO turned Colonial Williamsburg into an augmented reality hub Colonial Williamsburg opened its gates to an estimated 400 Pokemon GO players in August as trained guides led guests on a Pokemon-themed tour of the historic grounds. A location-based, augmented reality video game, Pokemon GO transformed perceptions about mobile technology and drove its players to explore their respective communities in search of elusive Pokemon. "When the game first came out, hundreds of people came out to play," said Jess Ross, the social media content strategist who planned the Pokemon GO event at Colonial Williamsburg. "They're here, so why not use this as an opportunity to teach about history?" For more information about Pokemon GO at Colonial Williamsburg click here. Colonial Williamsburg mascot Liberty rests after playing with trainer Adam Claar. (Steve Roberts, Jr/WYDaily) Colonial Williamsburg released a new mobile app Colonial Williamsburg unveiled a new mobile application in October that allows guests to navigate the Revolutionary City using 21st-century tools. The free application includes features such as wayfinding, further information on places and locations, a "Colonial Camera" which provides users with colonial-themed photo overlays, and the ability to meet up with their favorite Colonial Williamsburg figures such as Liberty the dog or other historical figures. "Guests visit the Revolutionary City to immerse themselves in the 18th century, yet they still look to their mobile devices to guide them and enrich their experiences," said Colonial Williamsburg's Executive Director of Marketing Andrea Sardone in a press release. "We listened to what they want, and we're confident this new app will add fun and efficiency to an authentic trip back in time." For more information on the application click here.

Report Sources
The data and analysis of this report were compiled by ECONorthwest for the Value of Jobs Coalition. Portland-metro in this report refers to the Metropolitan Statistical Area of Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA MSA.
Data in the employment section is drawn primarily from BLS State and Area Employment files, which draws from the Current Employment Statistics survey (also known as the establishment survey). A detailed description of the State and Area data is available here: http://www.bls.gov/sae/790over.htm. In order to use the most currently available data, the data are presented for September annually (for example, 2014 data is from September 2014). This is different than the approach used in previous Value of Jobs Coalition reports, where data were reported for December of all years, except for the most recent year, which was reported for September. All periods are now equally represented as 12 month increments.
Data in the income section is drawn from two sources. Median household income data come from the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey (ACS) 1-year files for 2008-2014. Income distributions were calculated using the 2013 ACS Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS). Personal income per capita comes from BEA regional data. Note that differences exist in observed income and employment estimates between the Census Bureau and BEA data. The differences between median household income and personal income per capita reflect a variety of factors, including growing income inequality, changing demographics, differences in unreported income, and different definitions of income. In the Affordability section, Regional Price Parities provided by the BEA adjust regional incomes for cost of living.
GMP data was drawn from the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the Brookings Institution's Metro Monitor July 2015 update. Exports data is drawn from the Brookings Institution's Export Monitor 2015. Both Brooking's reports are available at: http://www.brookings.edu/research/interactives/.
In the jobs section, data are provided by the BEA and the U.S. Census Bureau. Labor force participation rates and full-time, full-year employment calculations rely on ACS PUMS data.

I was accused of on FACEBOOK send friend requests to people I do not know.
Even without having heard me, if this accusation is true or false, Facebook blocked me for thirty days until the day 18/10/2012.
With this rule is dictatorial Facebook. Does not respect my right to be heard in my defense.
I am accused by Facebook, I should have the right to know the reason for the charge. I should have access to the evidence of the prosecution is that I made.
Mark Zuckerberg is a dictator for having created this rule. It's not a Democrat. He accuses only accuse without respecting the legal rights. Mark Zuckerberg must be condemned.

But Cheryl, who hasnt really spoken to you since the body was found, is like i know my brother would want our sister happy
I'm sorry it's so short, but I hope you like it anyway!
"How's today been so far," Jughead asked, squeezing your hand. You looked up at him and you shot him a soft smile. "Better now," he let out a breathy laugh and rolled his eyes. You looked down the hallways and when you didn't see anyone you knew, you leaned up a pressed a kiss to Jughead's cheek. It wasn't like you and Jughead were dating in secret, it was just that most of the people that were close to your older siblings didn't like it. It was those same people, that called themselves your friends, who also seemed to forget that you had lost a brother too, not just Cheryl. The whole football team, who looked up to the Blossom family name when Jason was captain, seemed to have forgotten about the youngest family member. Since your brother's cold, lifeless corpse had been found, even Cheryl hadn't spoken to you. Your heart sank with the thought of your sister, because if you were still struggling, who knows how she was fairing.
"Hey," Jughead said, stroking your cheek, "where'd you go?" You just shook your head in response. When you looked back up at him, his green eyes were squinted in concern. "I'm okay, really." He nodded, but you knew he didn't believe you. "I'm feeling so good, that I want to go to the football game tonight." He raised his eyebrow at you and you smiled. "Will you come with me," you asked sweetly, holding both of his hands now. He smiled at you, leaning down to look into your eyes, "of course." The warning bell rang, signaling to get to your next class. "See you in the lounge after school." He leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead, "see you then." You let got of his hands, walking down the hall to your next class.

Ask, and be a fool for three minutes Don't ask, and be a fool for rest of your life.
Hold fast to dreams, for, if dreams die Life is a broken winged bird, that cannot fly.
Ambition is so powerful a passion in human breast That however high we reach, we are never satisfied.
Life is not lost by dying Life is lost Minute by Minute, Day by Day, In all the thousands, Small, uncaring ways.
Death is not the greatest loss of life Greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.
At 20 we worry about what others think of us At 60 we discover they haven't been thinking of us At 40 we don't care what they think of us
Pessimist makes difficulties of his opportunity Optimist makes opportunity of his difficulties.
Smile is a fortune; you can't sell it, You can't buy it & you cant steal it But it isn't good to anyone until it is given away So pals, keep smiling & make it a great day.

Patient Transport Services "Aiming to provide responsive, high quality, caring services for the North East"
What is PTS? Provides non-emergency and urgent transport for patients whose medical condition is such that it would be detrimental for them to travel by other means of transport The patient requires the skills of PTS ambulance staff for the duration of the journey Primarily a pre-planned, contracted service Multi Patient Transport Non time critical Out of hours service, where funded
Types of Transport We have a wide range of vehicles which undertake an average of 4,500 journeys a day including:- Ambulances Cars – Ambulance Car Service – NEAS Cars Community Transport Taxis
Ambulance Car Service Volunteers work, using their own cars to transport patients, who are able to sit comfortably in a car All volunteers are CRB checked and follow strict procedures. At present we have 150 volunteer drivers
Our Staff Trained in – First Aid – Patient Moving and Handling techniques – Driving skills All crews are capable of dealing with patients who require oxygen therapy en route
Making a PTS Booking Online booking system – 300 GP surgeries are currently online – all Hospitals in our operational area have been offered the service – Most use the online system The majority of online users have the facility to book online up until 11:00am the day before transport is required After 11:00am bookings cannot be guaranteed although every effort will be made where possible
Escorts Escorts must be requested at the time of booking and are available if the patient has a medical need is 16 years of age or under (an escort must always accompany the child) severe communication or sensory difficulties a first appointment and requires moral support A drip or infusion pump (nurse escort)
Banding Times Agreed set of times when patients should be dropped off at Hospital for their appointments – excluding renal dialysis treatment (set times throughout the day) Hospital appointments should be calculated on the banding times – 09:30 – Patients who live between 3-8 miles from the receiving Hospital – 10:30 – Patients who live under 3 miles and over 8 miles from the receiving Hospital – 14:00 – Patients who live outside of the above
When will patients be picked up from home? It is not possible to give precise times for transport to Hospital, as it is dependant on where the patient lives and the number of patients travelling together For morning appointments patients could be picked up any time from 08:15 onwards For afternoon appointment patients should be ready to travel approximately 2 hours beforehand
Mobilities Walking Case The patient can walk to the vehicle with assistance Tail Lift For patients who need a wheelchair
Two Person Lift The patient cannot walk and requires the assistance of 2 ambulance staff to be moved to and from the ambulance The patient requires oxygen or has a mental and/or physical condition requiring the attention of 2 staff.

Stretcher Patient The patient must lie down for the duration of the journey or has a full leg plaster and cannot sit A stretcher takes up the place of 4 ambulance seats Oxygen may be required
Special Arrangements The patient is either a baby, infant or child under 135cm in height The patient requires the attention of more than 2 ambulance staff The patient needs the attention of an Accident & Emergency crew but is not time critical Bariatric Assessment prior to transportation is essential to ensure risk is minimised
Transformation of the service to ensure we continue to meet the needs of our customers – Rapid Programme Improvement Workshop focused upon redesigning the Patient Pathway – Development of key performance indicators so we can measure and demonstrate the quality of the service we provide – Modelling exercise underway to enable us to better match the capacity we have with the demand for our service The Future
