The present invention is related to and is an improvement over certain prior art patents including Dekker U.S. Pat. No. 2,863,777 which teaches a meat coloring preserving composition containing glucose, ascorbic acid and nicotinic acid applied by injection into meat, Schoemaker, British Pat. No. 802,126 which is similar to Dekker, and a Barnett patent Canada No. 573,378 which suggests and discloses arterial pumping meat-curing solutions containing phosphates and other ingredients warmed to approximately 60� F. Of further cursory interests in Wasserman U.S. Pat. No. 2,812,261 showing meat-curing compositions which inhibit color changes in cured meat and thus preserves a red color by use of a mixture of sodium ascorbate and phosphates. Comparable patents are those such as the applicant having patents in Guatemala including Certificado de petente precautoria numero 277, Apr. 16, 1970 relating to a "new method for obtaining better quality of meat"; patent registration No. 519,494; registration No. 208,678; and Guatemala Pat. No. 2306 of June 17, 1971. This application is a co-pending application of the applicant herein who concurrently filed an application titled "Composition And Method For Preparing Meat," filed Dec. 29, 1975 having Ser. No. 645,309.
Other Registrations in Guatemala of more cursory interest and value are: Registry No. 231,323 (No. A 227158) Of Feb. 18, 1972: Registry No. 112199 (No. G1 - 3575760) of Mar. 1, 1972; Servicio Consular Mexicano No. 424,323/129 in Guatemala of Mar. 3, 1972; and Guatemala patent granted Feb. 3, 1973 on "Method for Vitamizing and Tenderizing Beef Meat."
The present invention relates to an improved portable apparatus for use in the treatment of slaughtered animals, and more particularly the invention relates to a system of apparatus that is useful in the treatment of slaughtered animals, whether they be beef, including steers, hogs, chickens, deer, buffalo and the like. Particularly it should be pointed out that this invention is capable of using the solution and composition and the method for preparing meat described and disclosed in the co-pending application, and this application relates to the apparatus, in which the preferred embodiment is that of a portable apparatus but it may as well be mounted for securing in a permanent location and from a permanent surface or platform.
It should be described and disclosed here that the procedure using the present apparatus and preferred embodiment of the invention is set forth hereinbelow. For example a steer which is to be prepared into meat for consumption, the procedure is to provide means for stunning the steer with a knocker and then to support or hang the steer from its hind leg or legs. The jugular vein of the steer is then severed from the right side and the animal is de-bleeded. The steer is then layed horizontally upon a bed or table with all of its legs extending upwardly. The hind legs are then removed at the knee joint. The throat of the animal is opened with a small incision, approximately 3 inches long and when the main vein or artery is located there is inserted or injected therein the nozzle of the portable apparatus described above. A veternarian controls the quantity of the solution administered according to the weight of the steer and this is done by opening the valve at the water meter location. He may signal the man positioned at the steer and table who in turn opens the valve at the nozzle and when the appropriate amount of solution has entered the steer, the veterinarian closes the valve at his position and the nozzle is then shut off and removed from the animal. While the solution is coursing through the steer, the remaining and residual blood within the animal can be seen exiting the animal through its severed hind legs and the jugular vein at the incision. Once the residual blood is forced out of the animal, then the solution proceeds to exit the animal and this is observed visually, and the system is shut down and turned off.
There are existing methods and apparatus for treating meats and processes for treating meats as well as there are many prior methods for achieving improvement in slaughter of animals for purposes of butchering. Up to now, efforts to improve the quality, production and appearance of slaughtered animals such as beef and the like are primarily directed to the use of solutions for treatment after the meat has been butchered. These efforts have not given all of the desired results and advantages sought to be set forth and achieved in the present invention and it has been found that these prior art methods maintain results in which the meat appears to fatty and less attractive as well as being generally tough in consistency. The present invention seeks to resolve these problems and is essentially based upon a new method, composition and apparatus for the treatment of slaughtered animals and prior to the process of butchering the animal. Within the purport of the present invention, each slaughtered animal which had just been killed is placed under treatment according to the purport of the present invention by treatment including insertion of a nozzle within a slitted main vein or artery of the animal and injecting a composition through the principle vein or artery or in some cases a principle or main vein. Within the purview of the present invention, a solution or composition is transmitted through the slaughtered animal so that all of the residual blood accumulated in the animal is cleared out of its veins and arteries, as well as muscles, and the like, and using the spasms of the dying animal. After this is accomplished the animal is then transported to room at room temperature for 6-8 hours or to a refrigeration room at essentially 0� C. where it is stored until it is time fo butchering the meat further.
It is therefore an object and advantage of the present invention to provide apparatus for instituting a method for vitaminizing and tenderizing beef in accordance with a new and improved apparatus.
Another object and advantage of the present invention is to provide a new and improved method for injection into a slaughtered animal by means of a apparatus of the present invention for the treatment of animals recently slaughtered in order to produce improved grade and quality of meat for human consumption by making it more attractive in color and consistency as the composition is injected and circulates through the animal.
Another object and advantage of the present invention is to offer and provide a new composition for the treatment of recently slaughtered animals in order to have more tender meat when cutting it without further use of expensive tenderizers and without using salt or other similar condiments.
The above and other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent upon full consideration of the following detailed description and accompanying drawings in which:
The FIGURE shows a side elevation view partially in cross-section of an improved protable apparatus for use in the treatment of slaughtered animals according to the best mode and preferred embodiment of the present invention.
Referring now to the drawing there is shown a portable apparatus 10 to be described for use in the treatment of slaughtered animals which includes a closed container or tank 12 having at least an outlet 14 in the bottom thereof and which is supported by at least a set of four supports or leg members 16, 16. At the lower ends of the legs 16, 16 there is provided a base plate 20, 20 which may be secured firmly to a supporting surface 22 by means of bolts or securing means 24, 26.
The tank is constructed of any conventional size and dimensions and is preferably one having a protective inner lining therein (not shown) or the tank may be constructed of stainless steel plates so that the size of the tank may contain at least or in the excess of about 500 liters. There is provided at one side of the tank an inlet 30 for the entry of water when a valve 32 is opened, but which is otherwise closed.
It should be mentioned here that the tank is used for forming a solution and composition within the purport of the disclosure set forth and described in the applicant's co-pending application herein mentioned above, and the composition is inserted into tank 12 through a hinged-mounted hatch element 36 for adding composition within the tank for constituting the solution for use in the preparation and treatment of the slaughtered animal.
All of the tubing is galvanized and properly protected for safe usage.
While the outlet 14 of the tank may be used to drain off the tank when a drain valve 38 is open for flushing out the tank and the system, ordinarily during the course of the operation of the portable apparatus the drain valve 38 is closed and the tank communicates directly by means of pipe 40 to a pump 44 having an intake opening 46 and an outlet flow orifice 48 so that when the pump is driven, solution from the tank is transmitted upwardly through pipe 50 and thence to a reducing means 52 having an inlet 54 and an outlet 56. Of course it is within the purview of the present invention to provide a recycling connection from the pipe 50 commencing at a T-connection 58 for recycling or returning a large portion of the solution transmitted from the pump 44 to a return entry 60 in the tank 12. In the FIGURE the re-entry 60 is shown as disposed at a top portion of the tank and receives the recirculating fluid so that a large portion of the fluid passes again to the tank in keeping with the concept of having the solution sufficiently and constantly mixed, while a small portion passing through the reducing means 52 due to the pipe-size reducing means afforded thereby.
There operatively mounted and intercoupled to the reducing means 52 a manometer 64 for providing indications and visual readings of the pressure of the solution within the reducing means. From the outlet 56 a pipe is shown to extend to a water meter device 66 having inlet 68 and outlet 70 and being operatively mounted and intercoupled by conduit means 72 from the reducing means 52. The water meter means 66 provides means for visually indicating the quantity of fluid that may pass through the meter at any given time. It is within the purport of the present invention to have the meter run on a continuing scale or to have it capable of being reset to 0 for the commencement of each surge of water passing through the water meter 66, as is well known in the art. From the outlet 70 there is a cut-off or ON-OFF valve 76 to which is coupled a flexible conduit which terminates in a further cut-off or ON-OFF valve 78 which in turn is operatively coupled to a nozzle 80.
In use of the present apparatus within the preferred and best mode of the invention, the nozzle 80 is disposed for being of such a size and dimension for being inserted and injected into an opened small incision in the main artery 86 of a slaughtered animal 90 resting on its back upon a constructed bed frame or table 96. As is shown demonstratively in the FIGURE, the slaughtered animal 90 may be a steer, cow or similar bovine type species, a deer, chicken, hog, buffalo and the like, and the solution from the tank 12 passes through the apparatus 10 so that the solution including the composition in measured quantities determined by the water meter 66 is injected into the animal 90 and courses through the animal for substantially exhausting the residual blood therein and until it passes therefrom, for example from arteries in the animal's hind legs 98, particularly when the hind legs are severed at the knee joint as shown in the FIGURE thus when the solution has coursed through the animal then when the blood has been washed from the severed hind legs 98 and/or jugular vein 100 in the neck of the animal, then the solution passes therefrom in a quite clear condition.
The pump 44 may be a 11/2 HP turbine electrical pump capable of reducing 35-40 pounds pressure per square inch which is found to be equal or slightly in excess of the arterial pressure of a bovine animal, steer, cow and the like and thus the solution courses through the animal in essentially standard circumstances. The water meter 66 is operated by a veterinarian who is capable of controlling the amount of water so that there is a controlled quantity of solution entering each animal. The flexible hose or conduit 82 may be of polypropylene plastic or similar material.
Water that is used to fill the tank 12 through the inlet 30 is usually filtered and purified by means (not shown) before being mixed with chemicals and this is accomplished in usual and well known manner and by conventional apparatus.
It is within the purview of the present invention to provide means and methods of cleaning the tank pipes by vapor cleaning means daily, for example, before and after use, and the conventional and usual bacteriological tests that are used in the trade have proofed negative.
By means therefor for the present invention it is seen that for example a steer that is stunned with a knocker and hung from its hind legs. Then its jugular vein is severed from the right side of the animal and it is de-bleeded. The animal is then layed horizontally on the bed 96 with its legs extending upwardly. The hind legs are removed or severed at the knee joint 98 and the throat is opened with a small incision of about 3 inches in length so that the main vein or artery 86 is cut and the nozzle 80 is inserted and injected into it. A veterinarian positioned at the water meter 66 controls the quantity of the solution administered and this is done in accordance with the normal weight of the animal being treated, and in some cases the calibration of the water meter 66 may show a scale ancillary to the quantity of the scale readings the suggested weights of the animal being treated so that it is clear in all cases the manner in which the time interval is used for metering solution to the treated animal. The valve 76 is opened and shut to initiate and terminate the quantity of solution to be directed and transmitted to the animal. When the appropriate amount of solution has entered the steer, then the veterinarian closes the valve 76 or the operator at the animal position closes the valve 78 and then the nozzle 80 is removed. While the solution is still coursing through the animal, which coursing is assisted by the reflex muscles, and peristaltic action of the veins and other muscles in passing the solution through the animal till all of the blood is forced out and it is exited from the animal through its severed hind legs and the jugular vein 100. After the blood is forced out then there is seen merely the solution that is exiting the animal.
The invention may include a heater 102 and heater elements 104 disposed for surrounding the tank so that preparation of the solution and maintenance of the solution is at a temperature elevated above room temperature of the body heat of the slaughtered animal, for example, at 15� C to 39� C.
Within the purview of the use of the apparatus of the present invention it is found that the apparatus provides for total and equal distribution of the concentration solution throughout or essentially throughout the entire animal by insertion of the nozzle in the main vein or artery for injecting the solution therein.
Additional embodiments of the invention in this specification will occur to others and therefore it is intended that the scope of the invention be limited only by the appended claims and not by the embodiment(s) described hereinabove. Accordingly, reference should be made to the following claims in determining the full scope of the invention.

Over memorial day weekend Mr.Surly and I made a stop back to our old stomping grounds up north to eat at our favorite restaurant.
You may or may not remember me posting the recipe for my favorite drink here, the shooting star.
My roommate worked here while he was finishing up classes at OSU; we only lived a block away. He used to bring home yummy left overs and he was the "juice boy" which is how I know the ingredient list (but not the ratios) of the famous Shooting Star beverage.
Inside, there is a board that lists their seasonal specials.
Or you can order off their menu (I almost always order their famous veggie burger)
They have both indoor and outdoor seating:
You stand in line, place your order, then they give you a number to put on your table and they bring the food to you when it's ready.
Here is their infamous Northstar veggie burger. It comes with a bun, but I'm kinda eating gluten free right now to see if it helps my gastroparesis. I also cannot eat the raw lettuce because I'm not supposed to eat raw veggies, so I had to skip the salad that comes with the burger.
My MIL ordered the tomato soup which was on the specials menu. It looked fantastic.
In addition to fantastic food, it's a great place to people watch. It's one of the places I really miss since moving down south. If you ever find yourself in Columbus, Ohio, you simply must eat at one of Northstar's locations; you won't be disappointed.

2567Re: [gnubies-il] hard disk problems
Expand Messages
- Jan 1, 2004I believe the top of the stack (i.e. the function that panicked) is
ide_config_drive_speed, not ideprobe_init. Perhaps there's a way of
manually configuring the drive speed via the LILO bootprompt. Look
through ide.txt (to which Tzafrir referred) and play with the options
that contain "speed" in the description.
Shot in the dark: config_art_rwp_pio is the second function in the stack
trace. Find out what that is. I saw in ide.txt the option
hdx=cyls,heads,sects,wpcom,irq. I've no idea if the "wpcom" listed
here is related to the "rwp" of the function, but it may be worth
Also, pointing out the obvious: make sure the master/slave jumpers are
set right. Does the BIOS recognize all drives on POST (bootup)?

This is a continuation of Ser. No. 261,288 filed June 9, 1972, which is a continuation of Ser. No. 104,077, filed Jan. 5, 1971, now both abandoned.
This invention relates to a light modulator comprising a light-permeable crystal of the m3m point group provided with a pair of conductive electrodes for setting up an electric field in a given direction within the crystal.
It is known that crystals of the m3m point group are birefringent in the presence of an applied electric field and that the resulting ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices thereof can be varied by varying this electric field. Thus the phases of both an ordinary and extraordinary ray of light passing through the crystal in a direction in which the effect is significant will be changed by amounts which depend on the value of the field. For crystals of the m3m point group both the ordinary and the extraordinary refractive indices are proportional to the square of the value of the field, and thus a simple phase-modulator may be formed by a crystal of the m3m point group provided with a pair of conductive electrodes for setting up a field in a given direction within the crystal.
One such modulator is disclosed in FIG. 2 of British patent specification No. 1087042. The crystal used in this modulator is potassium tantalum niobate which will be referred to a KTN (actually KTax Nb1 -x O3 where x has a value from 0.2 to 0.8). The provision of a crossed polarizer and analyzer in the input and output paths for the radiation respectively enables the crystal to operate effectively as an amplitude modulator. The ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices of KTN both have a large dependence upon field, but the magnitude of this dependence is different in the two cases. Thus the application of a field across the crystal can give rise to a large phase-difference between the ordinary and extraordinary rays as they traverse the crystal, with the result that plane-polarized light incident on the crystal from the polarizer is, in general, converted to elliptically polarized light before it reaches the analyzer. Thus the analyzer will transmit light with an intensity which depends upon the square of the magnitude of the applied field. Because of this dependence on the square of the field the dependence of the transmitted intensity on an applied field can be increased, if desired, by maintaining a suitable bias field across the crystal.
It has hitherto been assumed that the aforementioned electro-optic effect in crystals of the m3m point group such as KTN or other perovskited or BaTiO3 is fundamentally a transverse one, i.e., that a maximum effect is observable when the applied field direction is orthogonal to the light path through the crystal and that no effect would be obtained if the applied field and light path were parallel to one another. Thus, in the modulator exemplified in the aforesaid British patent specification, the field is applied to the crystal in a direction which is normal to the direction in which the light passes through the crystal. This relative orientation of the field and light path is a disadvantage for certain applications.
With the orientations of the applied field relative to the crystallographic axes used hitherto it is in fact true that no birefringence is observable if the light traverses the crystal parallel to the field direction. However, it has now been discovered that, with certain orientations of the field relative to the crystallographic axes, the m3m crystal becomes birefringent for light travelling parallel to the field direction.
Accordingly one aspect of the invention provides a light modulator comprising a light-permeable crystal of the m3m point group provided with a pair of electrically conductive light-permeable electrodes for setting up an electric field within the crystal in a direction which is not parallel to any of the crystallographic axes.
The modulator may include means for directing light through the crystal in a direction which is not parallel to any of the crystallographic axes and which is not normal to the field direction. Said means for directing light may be constructed and arranged for directing plane-polarized light through the crystal and a polarization analyzer may be provided in an output path for the light from the crystal, the polarization direction of the analyzer being perpendicular to the polarization direction of the light incident on the crystal. The means for directing light may be a source of plane-polarized light such as a laser, or as an alternative, it may be a source of unpolarized light in combination with a polarizer in the light path between the source and the crystal.
It is likely that the maximum electro-optical effect for light travelling through the crystal in a direction which has a component parallel to the field direction will be obtained when the field direction is at substantially 45° to the crystallographic axes.
The light direction may be substantially parallel to the field direction.
The term "light" is to be understood to include radiation of a frequency which lies outside the visible part of the spectrum. For example potassium tantalum niobate of the composition quoted above is transparent at least over the wavelength range 0.3 μm to 6μm so that a modulator for infra-red radiation can be constructed using this material.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings wherein
FIG. 1 is a schematic of one embodiment of the invention,
FIG. 2 is a graph showing the parameters of the optical elements in FIG. 1, and
FIG. 3 is a schematic of another embodiment according to the invention.
In FIG. 1 radiation 1 of wavelength 0.63μm from a source 2 passes through a polarizer 3, a crystal 4 of KTa0.65 Nb0.35 O3 a polarization analyzer 5 crossed relative to polarizer 3, and is detected by a detector 6. The crystal 4 (which is viewed edge-on) is 0.2 mm thick and is cut so that the major faces thereof are perpendicular to the (0, 1, 1) crystal direction and thus the light 1 travels parallel to this direction. Radiation-permeable electrically conductive electrodes 7 and 8 are provided on the major faces of the crystal 4. These electrodes may be provided, for example, by evaporating a layer of tin oxide onto each face.
A pulse generator 9 applies electrical pulses having an amplitude of approximately 225 volts across the electrodes 7, 8. This amplitude is such as to cause a relative phase change of 180° between the ordinary and extraordinary light rays passing through crystal 4, i.e., a relative retardation of half a wavelength in one ray relative to the other is obtained with an applied voltage of 225 V. Thus the polarization plane of the light incident on the crystal 4 is rotated through 90° therein and the light emerging from the crystal is transmitted by analyzer 5 during the pulse peaks, provided that the crystal 4 is orientated relative to the polarizer 3 so that the extraordinary and ordinary rays therein have the same amplitude, i.e., provided that the polarization directions of 3 and 5 are at 45° to the fast and slow directions of the crystal 4. During the intervals between pulses no light will be transmitted by analyzer 5. Thus the light incident on detector 6 will be "chopped" at the pulse frequency (which may be ˜100 Hz). This feature is useful in certain applications where light of very low intensity has to be detected.
If desired, the required pulse height (225V) from generator 9 may be reduced by maintaining a standing d.c. bias across electrodes 7 and 8 of such value as to cause a phase difference between the output ordinary and extraordinary rays of 2 nπ where n is an integer. This is because the birefringence of crystal 4 is proportional to the square of the applied voltage.
It will be evident that the normal state of the modulator 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 of FIG. 1 may, as an alternative, be made transmissive, if the directions of polarizer 3 and analyzer 5 are made parallel or if the bias field is such as to cause a phase difference of (2n-1)π between the output ordinary and extraordinary rays, the transmission being reduced to zero in the presence of the applied pulses.
The KTN modulator is particularly suitable for use with an indium antimonide photo-detector because the transmission characteristic of the former closely matches the response curve of the latter. With a modulator and a detector of these materials the radiation 1 from the source 2 may have a wavelength up to 6μm. A change in wavelength will, however, affect the pulse height necessary for changing from transmission by the modulator to extinction, or vice versa, because the necessary pulse height (nominally 225V for = 0.63μm) is proportional to the square root of the wavelength and to the inverse three-halves of the normal refractive index of the KTN for the radiation.
It should be noted that the acceptance angle of a modulator according to the invention is quite large (˜30°) so that it is not normally necessary that the radiation from the source 2 be collimated.
An alternative material for the crystal 4 is barium titanate, cut in the same way. However, the Curie point for this material is high (˜120°C) so that it would have to be heated to above this temperature if it were to operate satisfactorily.
Growth and compositional details of a suitable crystal 4 of KTN are described in the aforesaid British patent specification No. 1,087,042. It should be noted that cutting a crystal 4 so that its major faces lies in the direction described tends to give a better optical result than if the major faces were parallel to the crystal facets. In the latter case the growth striae tend to be troublesome, but when cutting is at an angle to the crystal facets the striae tend to average out with the result that the optical quality appears more uniform.
The arrangement of FIG. 1 may alternatively be used as a source of light of variable frequency if the detector 6 and the generator 9 are omitted and the source 2 is broad-band, the components, 3, 4 and 5 then acting as a filter of variable pass-band frequency. Referring to FIG. 2, if the fast and slow directions of the crystal 4 are OY and OX, and the polarization directions of polarizer 3 and analyzer 5 are OP and OA respectively, it can be shown (see e.g., "Light" by R. W. Ditchburn published by Blackie (1952) equation 12(43) page 386) that the light intensity E transmitted by analyzer 5 is given by:
E = a2 cos2 (α-β)-a2 sin 2αsin 2β sin2 1/2 εP where a is the amplitude of the light from source 2 at a wavelength λ in air
and εP is given by:
εP = 2πe/λ(μ2 -μ1)
where e is the thickness of crystal 4 and μ1 and μ2 are the refractive indices of the crystal 4 in the fast and slow directions respectively.
If the polarizer and analyzer are crossed the first term in the equation for E becomes zero and
E = - a2 sin 2α sin 2β sin2 πe/λ (μ2 -μ1).
Thus, providing that the polarization directions of the (crossed) polarizer and analyzer do not coincide with the fast and slow directions of the crystal 4,
Eα sin2 (μ2 -μ1)λ πe.
This variation with λ is a maximum if
Sin 2α = sin 2β = 1
i.e., if αand β= 45° , 135°. . . etc.
Then E = - a2 sin2 (μ2 - μ1)/λ πe.
and E is a maximum when
μ2 -μ1 /λ e = 1/2,3/2, etc.
when μ2 -μ1 = λ12e, 3λ12e , 5λ/2e etc.
Similarly E is zero when μ2 -μ1 = 0, λ/e, 2λ/e etc.
Thus, if μ2 -μ1 is varied by varying the potential across the electrodes 7 and 8 in FIG. 1, the values of λ which are transmitted and the values of λ which are stopped by the components 3, 4, 5 of FIG. 1 will be varied, these components thus forming a filter whose passband(s) for the light from source 2 can be varied in position in the spectrum in this way. Such a filter may be used, for example, as a switchable colour filter in a colour television display.
FIG. 3 shows a deflector for deflecting a parallel beam of light from a source 2 to a plurality of positions on a screen 11. The light 1 from source 2 is plane-polarized by a polarizer 3 (if the source 2 emits plane-polarized light the polarizer 3 may be omitted) so that it has a polarization direction at 45° to the fast and slow directions of a first m3m crystal 4a cut and provided with electrodes 7a and 7b so that it is substantially identical with that described with reference to FIG. 1. Similar crystals and electrodes 4b, 4c, 7b, 7c and 8b, 8c are also provided in the light path 1. A source 9 of approximately 225v (again this voltage may be reduced if a suitable steady bias is maintained across each pair of electrodes 7, 8) can be applied across any pair of electrodes 7, 8 by means of switches 12a, 12b and 12c to cause a phase differences of π between the ordinary and extraordinary light rays in any of the crystals 4a, 4b, and 4c.
In the output path of the light from each crystal of the group 4, 44b, and 4c is situated a uniaxial crystal of the group 10a, 10b, and 10c made, for example, of calcite and orientated so that its fast and slow directions are at 45° to those of the preceding crystal of the group 4a, 4b, and 4c. Each crystal of the group 10a, 10b, and 10c has half the thickness of the preceding crystal of the group 10a, 10band 10c, and the crystal of the group 4a, 4b, and 4c following each crystal of the group 10a, 10b, and 10c has its fast and slow directions at 45° to the fast and slow directions of the preceding crystal of the group 10a, 10b, and 10c.
If, now, 225 volts from the source 9 is applied to crystal 4a by closing switch 12a the plane of polarization of the light emerging from crystal 4a will be rotated through 90°, i.e., from one of the fast and slow directions to the other of crystal 10a. Thus it can be changed from an ordinary ray to an extraordinary ray for the crystal 10a and will be displaced sideways by an amount depending on the thickness of crystal 10a. A similar effect will be obtained on closing switches 12b and 12c for the crystals 10b and 10c, but the displacement due to each crystal will be half that due to the preceding crystal of the group 10a, 10b, and 10c. Thus, with the three crystals 4a, 4b, and 4c shown, the area of incidence of the light beam 1 on the screen 11 can be switched between eight equally spaced positions which lie on a straight line. This number may be increased, if desired, by increasing the number of crystal pairs, and the "scan" obtained thereby can be made two-dimensional by providing a further group of crystal pairs for deflecting the area of incidence parallel to the plane of the paper of FIG. 3. If desired, the beam 1 may be focussed to a point on screen 11 by providing a converging lens (not shown) in the path thereof.
The arrangement of FIG. 3 may be used, for example, for displaying images on the screen 11 if an amplitude modulator is provided between source 2 and screen 11 or, if screen 11 is replaced by an optical storage bank such as an array of photo-diodes, the light deflector may be used as an addressing arrangement therefor.

Lovely apartment and location, spa was great! Beds hard as rocks! Paid $15 each for linen but were only given one towel each, plus hand towel and bath mat per bathroom, and no facecloths. Would have expected some basics to be included ie. salt & pepper, tea and coffee. Toilet paper allocation only just lasted! Nice apartment but was expecting outstanding to reflect the price.

Large amount of uniquely native species (compared to the rest of the world) Unique flora and fauna adapted to landscape Relatively flat continent Unique flora and fauna adapted to climatic conditions Low soil quality (low in phosphorus which allows for extensive plant growth) Why? Biological Isolation Geological stability Climatic variations
Biological Isolation
What is it?? Biological Isolation refers to when a collection of species do not have contact with another species that they are able to breed or mate with. This process can be man made or natural. Examples: Man made = scientist in a laboratory segregating species, Natural = natural disasters such as floods. Looking at the Natural History of Australia before humans, we will be focusing on the effects of Natural biological Isolation. Natural Isolation occurred when Australia split from Gondwanaland to form it own land form in isolation.
Biological isolation This can occur when organisms travel to islands and then can no longer breed with organisms from the main land. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcano eruptions and mud slides can force populations into separate areas. This means that these organisms will either die out or evolve separately. (Wilderness bohanson, 2008).
Natural Selection Geographical Isolation contributed to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. This theory evolved from the evidence and movement that scientists had found about how Australia formed before humans. In short, Charles Darwin's theory was that species change over time, or evolve in response to the environment. This is basically what biological isolation is; the change of species over time by being isolated from one another.
Biologically isolated flora The flora in Australia has strong affinities with the flora of Gondwana, and below the family level has a highly endemic flora whose diversity was shaped by the effects of continental drift and climate change since the Cretaceous period. Prominent features of the Australian flora are adaptations to aridity (low amounts of water) and fire which include scleromorphy and serenity. Sclerophyll is a type of vegetation that has hard leaves and short internodes (the distance between leaves along the stem). The word comes from the Greek sclero (hard) and phyllon (leaf). These adaptations are common in species from the large and well-known families Proteaceae (Banksia), Myrtaceae (Eucalyptus - gum trees), and Fabaceae (Acacia - wattle). Animals and plants evolve to life without specific predators or threats and ecosystems evolve to find an equilibrium where no one predator wipes out everything. In Australia this has lead to the evolution of flora and fauna that can survive in the harsh conditions they live in
This unfortunately increases the impact of introduced fauna species such as the rabbit, cane toad and even flora such as Patterson's curse.
Animal example An example of Biological Isolation and the evolution can specifically be seen when looking at the platypus. Large water rats were around in the Gondwana period. When Australia split from the larger sections of Gondwana, water rats in Australia where left without diversity in their breeding partners. As suggested by Charles Darwin, biological isolation resulted in the water rats in Australia forming into their own species, as we know as the platypus.
Geological Stability
What is it? Australia has been without volcanic activity or movement for many years due to being located relatively in the center of a tectonic plate (Australasian). The last volcanoes on the continent of Australia were active many years ago compared with other continents. This, combined with very little geological activity, has led to Australia having soil poor in nutrients. The state of the soils has had an influence on the Australian flora and fauna as those who were unable to adapt were also unable to survive.
Geological stability Australia has low tectonic, volcanic and glacial activity. There are few mountain ranges and the landscape is generally flat, making it prone to floods and erosion, and therefore affecting the survival of flora and fauna. What animal has adapted to Australia's flat landscape? What adaptions would plants need to make to deal with poor soil quality?
Climatic Variations
What is it? Australia experiences a relatively erratic climate in comparison to other continents of the world. There seems to be two main extremes, long, lean droughts in El Niño years and flooding rains in La Nina years (See wiki for further information). These periods can last anywhere from 1 – 10 years, this low level of predictability has had an impact on the adaptability and diversity of flora and fauna. The Australian climate varies on longer time- scales, over decades and centuries.
These variations are more subtle than yearly changes but can still have significant impacts on human life. Australians are well accustomed to short-term variations in climate, such as a particularly hot summer or low annual rainfall. However, it is important to recognise that the climate also varies over longer time-scales. For example, farming in some parts of Australia expanded into marginal agricultural areas during decades of good rainfall. However, many of these areas turned to dust bowls during the poor growing seasons associated with a downturn in the long-term rainfall cycle.
Climate patterns Climate patterns on time-scales longer than decades also influence life in Australia. Short term climate variations are superimposed on long-term trends. It is these extremes in climate that have the greatest impacts on human activities. The landmass of Australia has been exposed to many extreme climate changes all of which have had an effect on the current landscape, flora and fauna. Some plants have developed deep root systems to access water in times of drought and some animals such as the Koala, has evolved with a relatively small brain to conserve energy.
Adaptions to Australia's erratic climate Plants Hard, glossy leaves resist water loss through transpiration Evergreens reduce energy usage Long, narrow leaves that hang vertically presenting small surface area to sun Small leaves, or none Dormancy Animals Water storage Metabolic adaptations to minimise water loss Energy efficient movement – eg. hopping Energy saving adaptations – eg. Koala's brain
Serotiny Serotiny is an ecological adaptation exhibited by some seed plants, in which seed release occurs in response to an environmental trigger, rather than spontaneously at seed maturation. The most common and best studied trigger is fire, and the term serotiny is often used to refer to this specific case. Possible triggers include: Death of the parent plant or branch (this form of serotiny has been technically termed necriscence) Wetting (hygriscence) Warming by the sun (soliscence) Drying atmospheric conditions (xeriscence) Fire (pyriscence) Fire followed by wetting (pyrohydriscence) Some plants may respond to more than one of these triggers. For example Pinus halepensis exhibits primarily fire-mediated serotiny, but responds weakly to drying atmospheric conditions. Similarly, some Banksia species are strongly serotinous with respect to fire, but also release some seed in response to plant or branch death.
Flora releasing seeds after a fire Banksia (pictured) is a common species to have developed this trait along with the Australian Mountain Ash These have evolved uniquely due to poor Australian soils. Fire indicates the release of nutrients from burnt materials which is ideal conditions for the growth of new seedlings. Basically reducing wasted seeds due to being released onto soils with minimal nutrients.

British management of car plants might have been disastrous but the success of the country's Japanese-run operations was underlined yesterday as Toyota announced the creation of 1,500 new jobs over the next two years at its Derbyshire factory.
The move is part of plans to invest £100m into the operation to make it the sole European plant producing "C"class mid- sized hatchbacks.
Despite a bleak economic picture generally, there were also announcements of 300 new jobs by the Swiss food conglomerate Nestlé at its coffee factory in South Derbyshire, where it will invest £110m in trebling production. Airbus also announced a further 200 jobs at its base near Bristol. The engineering jobs at a plant, which has enjoyed considerable Government investment, are to help meet demand for the A350 Airbus plane.
Much has been made of Britain's need to rebalance its economy and shift it away from a marked over reliance on financial services.
News of 2,000 new jobs will provide welcome relief to the Government, whose handling of the economy has come under fire with growth continuing to be torpid at best and fears of a second recession rising. The Prime Minister, David Cameron, has sought to make political capital from the Toyota announcement by hailing it as "fantastic news".
However, some of the gloss was taken off the announcement from the Department for Education showing that there were 1.16 million young people aged 16-24 not in education, employment or training in the third quarter of 2011. The CBI called this "alarming".
Around 500 of the new hires will be made from the middle of next year as Toyota, which employs 3,380 in total at the Derby plant and at an engine factory in North Wales, prepares for a new hatchback to replace the Auris in two years time. It is produced in Britain and at a plant in Sakarya in Turkey. A new saloon to replace the Corolla will be made in Turkey.

Today, I am going to be talking about Glimmersticks Eyeliner by AVON. Does it live up to its claim? Read more to uncover the truth.
Glimmersticks Eyeliner
Wears for 9 hours. Smooth, glide-on color. Retractable, self-sharpening.
Available in 12 shades
|AVON Glimmersticks Eyeliner in 'Saturn Grey'
|AVON Glimmersticks Eyeliner in 'Saturn Grey'
|AVON Glimmersticks Eyeliner in 'Saturn Grey' (swatch)
Saturn Grey is my go-to eyeliner these days. I totally dig this shade! It has very fine shimmer in it but on the lid it appears as a soft matte grey which looks even more stunning when I put on two coats of mascara. It seems to be less harsh than black making it a great pick to wear during the day. I like the retractable and the self sharpening feature which allows me to do my eyes quickly in the morning when I'm running late. If you're a beginner, I'd totally recommend starting off with an eyeliner pencil/stick instead of liquid liner if you want quick and easy application on the go.
The texture isn't entirely creamy but it applies smoothly without tugging. Also, it is quite pigmented so I don't have to keep on building the color. The pointed tip helps with precise line application but if you desire a thicker one, you could always build up to it. I have mildly oily lids so I wouldn't say it lasts for nine hours however it does stay put on me for good five hours. Compared to Rimmel Exaggerate Eye Definer, it isn't water-proof which of course counts as its shortcoming when you compare both their prices however Exaggerate Eye Definer comes in very limited shades. In case you're wondering if it deposits to the waterline, the answer would be no. Maybe the blackest shade would but I doubt it wouldn't budge. If you have oily lids, I suggest priming up your lids or apply a concealer as way to help the eyeliner cling better.
To sum up, I do think it's one of AVON must-haves. They come in lots of gorgeous wearable colors and finishes. I have yet to try the water-proof version of Glimmersticks.
You might like it if…
- You expect smooth application
- You expect good pigmentation
- You expect a decent wear (up to five hours)
- You find retractable/self-sharpening sticks to be handy
- You adore the wide variety of colors
- You have super oily lids
- You expect it to be water-proof
- You expect it to stay put on the waterline
AVON Glimmersticks is priced PKR 800 and can be purchased online at Wishlist.
What do you think about it? Have you tried Glimmersticks Eyeliner?
If you have any questions, you can have a look at FAQ or email me on firstname.lastname@example.com.

Vinįli is an excellent source of vitamin C, which encourages collagen production in the dermis. This helps to lighten brown spots caused by the sun and improves the overall appearance of sun-damaged skin.
Vitamin C also promotes cell health and skin elasticity, resulting in younger-looking skin.
Also found in Vinįli is grape seed extract, a strong antioxidant that promotes healthy immune function and helps the body fight against free radical damage. Together, these nutrients have been shown to produce anti-aging and life-prolonging effects.
If I am taking the Optimals, do I also need to be taking Vinįli?
Some individuals desire and need to be consuming additional grape seed extract. If you tend to suffer from fatigue, allergies, or excessive inflammation, you may find that by consuming one or two Vinįli capsules daily with your Optimals is very beneficial.
Why is there additional vitamin C in Vinįli?
Medical studies have shown that there is a synergistic effect from consuming vitamin C and grape seed extract together. They both enhance each other's benefits. This means that one plus one is not two, but instead is eight or ten. Many companies use grape seed extract without any other nutrients in their products, which decreases their effectiveness. ARIIX uses the highest quality grape seed extract available in the marketplace today, AND combines it with vitamin C to make it even more potent.
I have been told that I am allergic to grapes. Will I also be allergic to the Vinįli, since it contains grape seed extract?
Having a true allergy to grapes is very unusual. Most individuals who do have a true allergy to grapes are able to take Vinįli. However, the best precaution is to take one Vinįli daily for a week to be sure you do not react to it. Our Chief Medical Advisor, Dr. Strand, has only seen two cases where his patients had a true grape allergy and also reacted to grape seed extract. So it is possible, however rare. Also, most individuals who have a grape allergy do not have a serious reaction to them. Therefore, it is reasonable to try just one Vinįli daily to be sure that you do not experience any reaction. If you are already taking the Optimals and tolerating them, remember they include 100 mg of grape seed extract already. Therefore, it is even less likely that you would react to the Vinįli.
Can my 12-year-old son take Vinįli?
Children are able to take Vinįli and usually have a very favorable response to taking it. We recommend that children take 1 to 2 mg of Vinįli per pound of their weight on a daily basis. Therefore, if you son is 100 pounds, he could take one to two Vinįli capsules daily. If you decide to give him 200 mg of Vinįli daily you can divide that total daily amount into two doses or take one capsule with breakfast and one capsule with an evening meal. You also have the option of opening a capsule and putting half in a drink, like orange juice or ARIIX Pure Nourish snack replacement.
Can I take too much Vinįli in a day?
Grape seed extract is very safe to take in supplementation. There have never been any reported side effects from taking too much grape seed extract. However, we would not recommend taking more than 2 mg per pound per day for children and no more than six Vinįli daily for adults. Remember there is also additional vitamin C in each Vinįli capsule. Since there are a small percentage of individuals who are sensitive to vitamin C, those individuals may experience stomach distress as they increase the amount of Vinįli they are taking. If you note increased GI distress with increasing doses of Vinįli, it may be due to the vitamin C and not the grape seed extract.This usually resolves over time and the best recommendation if you want to take higher doses of Vinįli is to slowly increase the amount of Vinįli you are taking. ARIIX is committed to bringing you the best supply of health supplements by extensively researching modern nutritional science and we believe that we have hit the mark when it comes to Vinįli.

Ray LaMontagne's Supernova a Product of Friends and Passion
Ray LaMontagne
Samantha Casolari
The ever-whispering and quiet Ray LaMontagne stepped away from his private life to share some insight with Up On the Sun about his new album. How quiet is he? He currently is not listening to any music other than his own to focus on the tour and his own sound.
"I went into sonic overload, so I'm allowing my brain to just shut everything off," LaMontagne says.
One artist it sounds like he has had on heavy rotation is The Black Keys. If you recently gave a listen to Ray LaMontagne's latest album Supernova and thought to yourself, "This sounds like a Black Keys ripoff," it might be because Dan Auerbach assisted in the production of the record.
"I have loved [Auerbach]'s records, and we've been wanting to do something for years," LaMontagne explains. "Having his ears and perspective on the album helped me."

It had been four years since the last we had heard from LaMontagne. He had collaborated with his Pariah Dogs to produce and record God Willin' & the Creek Don't Rise, which sparked the hit "Beg Steal or Borrow." Before releasing Supernova, LaMontagne was known for his soulful folk twang and moaning blues-filled tunes such as "Trouble" and New Orleans-inspired "The Best Thing." So, after reaching such commercial success, it would do no good for LaMontagne to stop now.
"I would start songs and not finish them," LaMontagne states. "I had a big batch of songs, but nothing excited me. It didn't feel like the right record. It wasn't until I wrote 'Supernova' that I got excited. I thought, 'This is fun; this is interesting to me.'"
LaMontagne says that once he had finished writing the song, he had decided to tap into his influences, which ranged from everything starting at early-'50s British rock 'n' roll to new modern blues rock.
Constructing Supernova wasn't easy. LaMontagne not only turned to friends to put their point of view on the album, but also for some sound advice. Elvis Costello said it best when he advised, "You're the only Ray LaMontagne there is, so just trust that voice."
"Basically I had to stop getting in my own way," LaMontagne interprets from Costello's wisdom. "I didn't have to be so hard on myself. I didn't have to push myself as hard as I have in the past. It wasn't working anymore. It worked when I was younger, and that's something I learn over time."
He goes on to explain that when you're starting a career, you have to push yourself to be better and never accept yourself where you're at. But, at a certain point, it becomes unhealthy and he had reached that point.
Enter Auerbach, who put a new set of ears into the album. LaMontagne trusted that Auerbach would bring other gears and perspectives in the room.
"I produce my own records all the time, but I think it's healthier to work with other people to make the record better than you could. Hiring a producer, sometimes you just have to get out of your own head and see things differently."
Bottom line, the secret to a standout album, as stated by LaMontagne, is hitting the studio. "Once you get into the studio, the songs blossom."
Ray LaMontagne is scheduled to play Comerica Theatre on Wednesday, October 22.

This is a follow up to my previous post when I mentioned the Orson Scott Card book "Pathfinder". Last week on October 31st, the next book in that series came out called "Ruins". I'm a few chapters into it and it's even better than the last one. If you are a sci-fi fan, it's definitely worth picking up.
9 Nov 2012 Update: Finished the book. Great read. Annoyed at the ending. There's going to be more books to the series. Card is probably typing away at his keyboard on the next one as I'm writing this.

Elders Play Grand Theft Auto V
This video is pretty damn hilarious… If you're a fan of GTA V (GTA 5) you will definitely get a kick out of watching these Elders Play Grand Theft Auto V. Even the first few minutes of this video is out of control, when they are just trying over and over to get the door to a car open. The quotes, the things these people say is crazy "oh I guess they are going to cancel my insurance" and "oh I'm waiting for the light to change"… You would think something like this would be scripted, but I highly doubt it. I would LOVE to sit in a room with these folks and play GTA 5 while drinking beer all night. I really hope when I am their age my thumbs are still working well enough to play GTA 5.

Kelsey Swaby - Queensland, Australia - Dec 20, 2012
"(ReviewCenter/info@alexandiggy) Fantastic! Here was the feedback from the recipient: " they did such a nice job of stacking up the chocolate boxes and wrapping with a nice red ribbon and gift card - it was very professional and nicely done". Easy for me because I did not have the hassle of having to pack it and mail it to Japan myself (expensive). "
A Walker - USA - Jul 13, 2015
"This option in sending a gift overseas was easy, convenient with a wide variety of choices available. When I made a mistake with my delivery date overseas i received a phone call advising me of the new date. On arrival the gift was met with a very courteous and helpful delivery person and the gift itself was given high praise for its quality, it brightened up my mums day. "
