Romney rerouted his tour after former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell and several other Democratic officials held a press conference outside the Wawa gas station where the former Massachusetts governor had planned an early afternoon stop. Protestors gathered outside the store.
So Romney decided to visit a different Wawa store instead.
"Why we're at this Wawa, instead of the other Wawa?" Romney said as he paid for a meatball hoagie. "I understand I had a surrogate over there already, so we decided to pick a different place. My surrogate is former Gov. Rendell, who said we could win Pennsylvania."
Instead of making prepared remarks to the crowd gathered outside the first location — Romney's advance team had set up a microphone — the Republican's bus went instead to the second Quakertown Wawa and made a quick tour through the store.
The detour threw Romney off the jobs-and-economy message he had been pushing earlier in the day "

There's "situations" and then there's "situations." One may be below code (aren't most buildings of any age at all in some way below code?) and another may be ready to collapse on the occupants--an "imminent danger." I believe we have an obligation, legal and moral, to do something about the latter, but we see the former almost every minute of every day (I live in one!) and can hardly be expected to constantly "save the world."
It's a matter of degree.
I once noticed two-story-tall brick walls standing unbraced along a city sidewalk (after a long-ago fire had gutted the building) and raised the issue. I was told it was "old business" and "had been taken care of." It remained that way for years before being demolished.
I was also involved in a situation MANY years ago where my firm recommended city-required earthquake improvements to a 6-story masonry building. The owner said if we pushed it they'd close the company, fire the hundreds of employees, and leave town. Needless to say the building was not strengthened.

I thought that as Professional Engineers we had a responsibility to protect the publics safety. I also thought that several recent court cases indicated that an inaction on the part of a person of knowledge (say a PE) who was aware of a situation and did nothing was tantamount to, oh, what the word, negligence?
My thought would be to contact the owner and/or design professional and send him the picture anonymously.
Besides, It ain't libel if it's true. Of course there is truth and court truth.
Wow, what a screwed up mess we have made of the engineering professions.

Is this a valid equation: showing pictures = badmouthing
Unfortunately I'm afraid (as a non-lawyer) that you have about as much right to badmouth a builder on your blog as someone else has to badmouth your engineering skills on his blog.
I'd be careful, especially if your pockets are shallower than the builder's.

I would like to post pictures of these types of issues to bring them to the attention of the community and builders. Am I allowed to stand on the street and photograph this sloppy work including the developers advertisement and publish it on my Blog? If anyone has this type of information that can help me please let me know. In the mean time, I have dozens of shots (or more) that should be publicized as what not to do.

All metrics below can be applied to both desktop and mobile ad performance.
All reporting data is only available through the previous day across the Flite platform when generating excel reports. Users can generate reports for the previous day based on which time zone you are in below:
Impression: An ad load. Total Impressions for an ad is the total number of times that the ad was loaded on a page.
Backup Impression: An Impression where a backup image was shown in place of the rich media creative. This happens when the ad runs in an environment where the rich media creative is not supported (e.g. a Flash creative on iOS).
Interaction: A user action that changes the ad's appearance or launches a third-party URL. This includes clickthroughs, navigations, video plays, expansions, etc. This also includes 1-Second Rollovers.
Engagement: An Impression that has at least one Interaction. Total Engagements for an ad is the number of Impressions with which the user interacted.
Clickthrough: Any click within the ad that links a user to an outside URL. Note that clicks that lead to a download are considered Clickthroughs as well.
Time On Unit (TOU): The amount of time that a user spent interacting with the ad. For each Engagement, this is measured as the amount of time elapsed between the user's first and last Interaction with the ad. The Total TOU is the sum of TOUs across all Engagements.
Engagement Rate (ER): Percentage of Impressions that had at least one Interaction. The purpose of ER is to gauge user interest in the ad -- higher ER means more users interacted with your ad. This is one of the recommended approaches for measuring ad performance.
[Total Engagements] / [Total Impressions]
Clickthrough Rate (CTR): Percentage of Impressions that had a Clickthrough. Higher CTR means more users clicked through on your ad.
[Total Clickthroughs] / [Total Impressions]
Average Time on Unit (Average TOU): The average amount of time that users spent interacting with your ad, across all Engagements. The purpose of Average TOU is to gauge the level of interest among the users who engaged with your ad.
[Total TOU] / [Total Engagements]
Interaction Rate (IR): The ratio of Interactions to Impressions. This is not a reliable measure of user interest in the ad; we recommend using Engagement Rate instead.
[Total Interactions] / [Total Impressions]
There are two types of video play:
- User Video Play: A video play that's triggered by an Interaction -- i.e. clicking a play button.
- Auto Video Play: A video play that happens automatically on ad load, and is not triggered by an Interaction.
For each type of video play, the same set of metrics are captured -- but they are kept separate, so as not to mix 'auto' and intentional playback metrics.
From the "Videos" tab in the Measure Module - you can toggle between 'auto' and 'user-initiated' video metrics with the buttons in the upper-right corner of the interface.
After you've toggled to a specific subset of video metrics, you'll see these standard methods of
Total Video Plays: The total number of times that the video played. This is the sum of the 5 Quartile Video Play numbers.
Quartile Video Play: These metrics show how much of the video users watched (in other words, at what point did users drop off, or stop watching). These five quartile metrics are mutually exclusive, and add up to the Total Video Plays:
- 0-¼: Number of video plays that stopped before reaching ¼ (<25%) of the video's duration.
- ¼-½: Number of video plays that stopped between ¼ and ½ (25-50%) of the video's duration.
- ½-¾: Number of video plays that stopped between ½ and ¾ (50-75%) of the video's duration.
- ¾-1: Number of video plays that went past the video's ¾ mark, but did not reach the end (>75%, <100%).
- Full: Number of times that the video was played in full.
Total Video Time: The total amount of time that the video was played, summed up across all users.
Average Video Play: The average amount of time that the video was played, across all video plays. This performance metric indicates how much of the video the average user watched, and is a good measure of user interest in the video.
[Total Video Time] / [Total Video Plays]
Flite now provides additional Engagement and Time On Unit (ToU) metrics:
- Engagements without Hovers - Number of sessions that have at least one interaction that is not a hover
- Engagements Strict Time On Unit for Sessions - Number of sessions that have at least one interaction (including hovers) with a Strict Time On Unit (STOU*) greater than a specified number of seconds (0.5, 1, 2, or 5 seconds).
- Total Session Time (sec) - Sum of total time on unit for desktop sessions featuring an engagement (including hovers).
- Total STOU without Hovers - The total Strict Time On Unit (STOU*) for all sessions with an engagement. Any session where Hover was the only type of engagement is removed from the STOU.
- Total Strict Time On Unit for Sessions - The sum of all Strict Time On Unit (STOU*) for sessions greater than a specified number of seconds (0.5, 1, 2, or 5 seconds).
*Strict Time On Unit (STOU) - The summation of total session time across desktop and mobile. Total session time on desktop calculated as the summation of all time that a cursor is hovering over (or interacting with) an ad unit. Total session time on mobile calculated as the difference between the user's last interaction with an ad unit and the first interaction with an ad unit.
Most Flite Components track their own events. The events logged by each Component are collected, processed, and exposed as aggregate metrics in the Measure tab/module - where you can click on the 'Layers' option.
- Hover: The viewer's cursor has hovered over the Component.
- Select: The viewer has tapped or clicked the Component.
- Navigate: The state of the Component is updated via user-interface elements, i.e. thumbnails or pagination buttons (Carousel, Gallery, Tab Set)
- Scroll: The Component is 'scrolled' (i.e. Scroll, Gallery,Form, View)
- View: Some new content is pulled into the ad (i.e. Twitter)
- Update: A message is broadcast that can be used to trigger an Action (i.e. Frequency Cap)
- Control: Some control in an embedded widget is adjusted (i.e. 'volume' or 'seek' in the YouTube Component)

Blueprint Cleanse Detox Review – Does It Work?
The Blueprint Cleanse is one of those cleanse diets that should immediately give you the impression that it may not be the best idea. Why? Because cleansing diets really don't work that well; your body "cleanses" itself naturally, so there is no need to fast in order to "reset" your system or do anything like that. That being said, there is some research that indicates that if it is done properly, "cleansing" can be a good jump start to an overall lifestyle change that includes weight loss.
How does the program work?
The whole idea behind it is that you are only drinking juice that has been specially formulated to help you get the nutrients that you need while you are on the fasting time. The fasting is just supposed to happen for three days, every few months. There are a number of different types of juice that they have, and each of them are labeled with the numbers one through six, in order to help you determine which you should be drinking at what time of day and how many times. It's very simple to follow and understand, so that means it is more difficult to mess up.
Does it work?
Actually, many people have seen some results from the Blueprint Cleanse for a few reasons. You're going to lose weight if you aren't eating carbohydrates and other foods that would cause you to maintain or gain weight otherwise. There are other side effects as well. All of the juices in the case that you receive are natural, and they actually do give you some essential vitamins and minerals, so you're going to feel like you have more energy. Some people even commented that their hair and their skin looked healthier after cleansing as well.
Another benefit is that it makes people a lot more conscious about what they are eating and drinking in between cleanses. So a lot of it has to do with training the mind. Does it actually help you to lose weight to do the Blueprint Cleanse, or is it just a good way for you to get a lifestyle change to start rolling? Honestly, I ascribe to the latter. As mentioned above, cleansing doesn't really have a lot of benefits for you. But, it can help you get into the right mindset so that you can diet appropriately when you aren't cleansing.
Is it worth it?
Well, first off, there are some side effects that you may see when you are going through the cleansing process. Some people have experienced uncomfortable gas, abdominal cramping, stomach aches, nausea, and a number of other similar gastrointestinal problems as a result of doing the Blueprint Cleanse. The fact is, this is actually quite common when you do a juice fast; your body isn't sure what to do with the extreme changes in your diet that occur. You have to be careful in case you happen to be allergic to one of the ingredients. Make sure that you inquire about any allergies before you try the Blueprint Cleanse so that you don't have any potential issues while cleansing.
The question is, is it worth it to you? It costs about $60 a day ($180 per cleansing period) to pay for all of the juice that you receive. Granted, you get a lot of juice and are supplied for the entire cleansing period, but it's still a lot of money that you have to spend.
In short, the jury is still out. There are a lot of things that this cleanse is doing right; there are other things that it is doing wrong (including the crazy prices). It may be more worthwhile to get a juicer and make your own juice if you're looking to do a juice fast.

As you begin your first professional job, embrace being in an entry-level position. Your first job will most likely not be your perfect dream job. In fact, you may even take on a summer and/or fall internship just to get your foot in the door at an organization. As you work at your not-so-perfect-job, remember that you're there to grow your skill set, learn how to be a working professional, explore your likes and dislikes in the workplace, and begin figuring out where you want to go next. If you can use your first professional role as an opportunity to learn and explore the world of work, you will be better equipped and skilled to position yourself for that next job and to understand where you want your career path to go.

When we look at infertility treatments women tend to receive the most attention. And for most cases this is rightly so. However men also need to be addressed. Not only can men suffer from poor sperm quality and quantity but also erectile dysfunction. While drugs can offer a relief there is a simple and effective Natural Erectile dysfunction treatment at your disposal!
What Causes Erectile Disfunction?
Erectile disfunction (ED) or impotence is defined as an inability to get or hold an erection to sustain a sexual intercourse. The cause may be physical or psychological in nature. Diabetes, lack of exercise and cardiovascular disease, depression, guilt, anxiety, stress, low self esteem and problems in relationships can all predispose to ED. Infertility can predispose to many of these psychological issues contributing to ED. In this article we'll look at the physical side and how you can treat erectile disfunction naturally.
Nitric Oxide and Sexual Function
Nitric Oxide or NO, is used by the blood vessels for muscle relaxation and vasodilation – dilation of the blood vessels. This in turn improves blood perfusion (blood flow) of the surrounding tissue and facilitates an erection. Other roles of NO are blood pressure regulation, cellular energy usage and blood sugar and calcium balance.
Today, alone in the US 18 million men are affected by Erectile Dysfunction. The most popular prescription medication for erectly dysfunction PDE5 (phosphodiesterase type 5) – a.k.a. Viagra – prevents breakdown of nitric oxide in the body. But no drug is without long term side-effects and it's best to provide your body with ingredients to manufacture what it needs to function optimally.
Erectile dysfunction also goes hand in hand with premature ejaculation. Now how many women out there would like their men to be able to last a bit longer? Ladies, give your man some beetroot juice!
In the said study to improve athletic performance the participants were drinking 500ml of fresh pressed beetroot juice for six consecutive days. Try it for six days, and then as a maintenance dose just add a small beet to your fresh pressed juices couple of times a week. Beets can overpower other fruit and veg in the juice so for better flavor don't overpower your juice with the beets!
Also stay clear of potassium nitrate – an inorganic nitrate as it's toxic. And please note that nitrates from beetroots and spinach are not viewed the same in terms of health danger on our body as those in processed meats! So tuck into your veggies and fresh pressed juice!
Do you like beetroot juice? Would love to hear your thoughts and your results! And if you know of other natural erectile dysfunction treatments please share them below!

by the Grace of God
Archbishop of the Romanian Orthodox Archdiocese in America and Canada
To the Beloved Clergy and Right-Believing Christians,
Peace and Holy Joy from our Lord Jesus Christ,
And from us Hierarchal Blessings.
Most Reverend Fathers,
Beloved Faithful,
Christ is Risen!
Year after year, on the Day of Resurrection, we tell one another the Good News that Christ, Who accepted sufferings and death for us, was not held by death, but arose. This good news is passed on from generation to generation, from the Apostles and the Myrrh-bearing Women, who were privileged to see the Resurrected Lord, to us who believe and confess the same miracle.
St. Luke the Evangelist relates one of the appearances of the Risen Christ: That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus Himself drew near and went with them. But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him. (Luke 24:13-16). The two disciples were among those who had been privileged to hear the words of the Savior, to see His healing deeds, to feel the power that their Teacher transmitted; and yet, on the road to Emmaus they believed that the One who had joined them was a stranger, in fact one who was not up to date on the recent events which had troubled Jerusalem. The Lord journeys with us through this life, the Lord listens to us even when we speak about Him, without revealing Himself all at once, for knowing Him is not an easy thing. From St. Luke's account we should understand that speaking about God is always a difficult thing, for we do not speak about something which can be studied and known, but about Someone who reveals Himself and makes Himself known. We will never capture God in our well-crafted words, we will never exhaust Him in concepts, but that which we help others to discover about God is valid only when it represents a transmission of God's revelation to us. The disciples Luke and Cleopas speak about Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and in word, but it seemed that His power had ended in the grave. God Himself must reveal His power in order that man might understand: "O, foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into His glory?" And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, He interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself (Luke 24:25-27). Intellectual understanding doesn't come all at once, but it requires a spiritual, supernatural understanding, a receiving with the entire being of the divine revelation: "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent." So He went in to stay with them. When He was at table with them, He took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished out of their sight. They said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked to us on the road, while He opened to us the scriptures?" (Luke 24:29-32).
Christ reveals Himself in the breaking of the bread, in the repetition of the sacramental gestures of the Mystical Supper, the gestures which are repeated at each and every Divine Liturgy as a fulfillment of the commandment to do this in memory of Him. This means that the knowledge of God which results from the Savior's Resurrection has a sacramental dimension. Christ arose in order to conquer death as a failure of man, as proof of his inability to fulfill the commandment to be perfect, whole, complete. Christ arose in order to bring down the wall separating man from God, according to the words of the Holy Fathers. Christ arose in order to reconcile the entire creation to the Creator through man. But Christ arose also in order to bring us another kind of knowledge of God.
We know God through the order which He imprinted on Creation, through the Word revealed in the Holy Scriptures, through the prophecies of those who foretold the Messiah, through the Light of Mt. Tabor which is imparted to those who become followers of Christ, through every fact which shows us the reality of our communion with Him. On the road to Emmaus, and thence at every Divine Liturgy, Christ brings us the God Who took on a human body, suffered, died, and arose from the dead. This "bringing" lays a claim on us, it calls us to be partakers, calls us to taste and, receiving, to know. After we receive the Holy Mysteries of the Body and Blood of Christ, we sing, "We have seen the true light, we have received the Heavenly Spirit, we have found the true faith, worshipping the undivided Trinity"." We become initiates of the mysteries of God, we receive God in our being and this receiving becomes knowledge through participation, our transformation into children of God. Only after receiving these mysteries can we say that we know God, that we have found the true faith and worship.
Beloved Faithful,
The Lord's Resurrection is the moment of the re-opening of communion of man with God, it is the gateway to the true knowledge of God, it is the hope of our immortality, for those of us who believe and confess it. Every Feast of the Resurrection makes us partakers of these realities and shows us their reflection in our lives. Both on a personal and community level, perceiving these meanings permit us to remain in the light and the joy of the Resurrection, to conduct our lives and our parish life conscious of the fact that our every action bears the seal of eternity because Christ is risen.
I pray that God will grant you to celebrate these Holy Holidays in health, peace, joy, and undiminished hope. I embrace you all in the Lord and I urge you as your Father to pray for all those in suffering and need, that the Lord will grant to them comfort, and to us His heavenly blessings.
Christ is Risen!
Your brother and intercessor before God,
Chicago, Feast of the Lord's Resurrection,

LIGHT BARRIER FOR PREVENTING MACHINE ACCIDENTS INCLUDING FAIL SAFE DEVICE Filed April 5, 1965 3 Sheets-Sheet s Fig. 4
United States Patent 7 Claims. ci. 250-221 The present invention relates to a light barrier apparatus which is particularly suited for use as an accident preventing device and incorporates features to supervise the operability of the apparatus.
Light barriers are known, for instance a safety device for a press, wherein a light ray is periodically moved in rapid sequence across an area to be protected. By suitable optical means the moving light ray will be directed to a photoelectric detector. When an object enters into the area to be protected, the output signal of the photoelectric detector will change to produce an electrical signal. The press is then stopped or reversed by the electrical control apparatus in response to the electrical signal.
A known light barrier of the type indicated comprises a rotating polygonal mirror upon which a beam of light is directed. The polygonal mirror is located in the focal point of a narrow concave mirror so that the beam of light deflected periodically during rotation of the polygonal mirror will be moved in parallel relationship to itself and will periodically sweep across an area limited at 'one side thereof by the concave mirror. At the other side of this protected area a triple strip type reflector is provided which reflects the beam of light back exactly on its path of incidence at every position thereof. Between the light source and the polygonal mirror there is an inclined partially transmitting mirror which directs the returning beam of rays to a photoelectric detector.
Thus, with such an arrangement the area to be monitored will be periodically scanned at high frequency. If the area to be monitored is clear, so that the beam of light is unimpeded to pass forward and backward, the detector receives substantially constant light. However, if an obstacle such as the hand of an operator enters into the area being monitored, a sequence of dark pulses will be created at the detector. These pulses actuate a relay via a suitable electronic network, which stops the machine.
As further protection, the machine should not be permitted to operate unless the photoelectric safety device is in operating condition. If the light barrier becomes incapable of functioning properly due to failure of some component, the machine should be stopped. Therefore, with the prior art light barriers a function monitoring is provided to monitor the light barrier after each press stroke, To do this, the light barrier will be temporarily interrupted during the safe phase of the ram movement, i.e., during its upstroke. During this interruption both the switching relay and the require-d monitoring relays must execute a complete test cycle. Only if this test cycle runs as prescribed, will the press be released for a further stroke. However, this type of monitoring leaves out the possibility that after testing, and thus during the downward movement of the press ram, a part of the photoelectric safety device may become inoperative and the safety device will not function properly. If at that very moment someone reaches into the zone of danger, an accident might occur despite thedescribed testing. be monitored (protective cycle) function check is made to It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to preclude this possibility of a failure occurring at a critical instant. According to the invention this object is at tained by providing that after eachsweep of the area to be monitored (protective cycle) a function check is made to see that the protective apparatus is operating properly. Thus at each such interval, a dark pulse is produced during a monitoring cycle. Circuitry is provided which stops the machine if there are dark pulses during the prptective cycle (indicative of the operator being in the danger area) or if there are no dark pulses during the monitoring cycle (indicative of equipment malfunctions). Therefore, in accordance with the invention, a function monitoring of the safety device is not only effected after each press stroke (or any other cycle of operation), but the function will be monitored anew with high frequency after each sweep of the area to be monitored. Also, if during the downward movement of the press ram an optical or electronic element of the light barrier becomes inoperative, a signal will be generated to shut off the machine.
Dark pulses can only occur as a contrast to a preceding bright pulse. A situation might occur in which the total height of the area to be monitored is obscured by an obstacle so that the photoelectric detector will not receive any light at all and will therefore be unable to supply any light (and thus no electrical) pulses. According to the invention the beginning and end of each protective cycle is separated from the monitoring cycles by a short bright light pulse. These bright pulses are produced by small auxiliary mirrors mounted on the mirror wheel and positioned to throw light directly on the photoelectric detector. Therefore light pulses always will be supplied to the photoelectric detector and, necessarily dark pulses must occur during the monitoring cycle. Therefore, in accordance with the invention, both the monitoring pulses and the protective pulses produced in the protective cycle by an obstacle in the path of rays are dark pulses. With respect to non-linearities, phenomena of saturation or overriding elfects which after all always signifies a non-linearity, it is of importance that the differently evaluated pulses have the same polarity.
Different circuitries for fulfilling the function according to the invention can be devised. Advantageously the circuitry is provided with a phase dividing filter to sort out the different pulses, i.e., the protective pulses and the monitoring pulses. For evaluation of the pulses the circuitry may include one 'or several gates having inputs at which the monitoring pulses, ie the pulses derived from a rate monitoring of the motor, and the protective pulses are applied. This circuitry effects a signal upon the occurrence of any one of: the monitoring pulses are not present; the rate monitoring pulses are not present; or protective pulses are present.
Expediently the arrangement is provided such that the output signal of the phase dividing filter, originating from an obstacle, is supplied to two gates, the gates being designed as AND-gates as well as OR gates in dependence on the energization thereof. Each gate has two inputs. Protective pulses (when present) are supplied to a first input of each gate. The monitoring pulses are supplied to the second input of one gate and the pulses derived from the rate of the scanning apparatus being monitored as to frequency are supplied to the second input of the other gate. Thus a determination will be made whether there are monitoring pulses present, whether the scan frequency deviates from the prescribed value, and whether protective pulses are present. With such an arrangement the failure of any electric or optical element generates a signal at the output of the gates to stop the machine. Thereby, the equipment is made safe against possible accidents. The output signals of the gates after corresponding amplification thereof serve for controlling two switching relays. According to the invention circuitry is furthermore provided for controlling the sensitivity of at least one pulse forming stage. The response threshold of the switching relays and the electronic switching stages (multivibrators), respectively, is never exactly the same. Due to this, without a sensitivity control the switching relays would respond at different times with slow penetration into the path of:rays of the light barrier. However, the sensitivity control brings about a strict synchronism in the; operation of the relays. As the relay contacts are conveniently cross-connected, every deviation from such synchronism of the relays may additionally generate a signal whereby to block the machine. Thereby, safety is furthermore substantially increased.
Further objects and advantages will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the drawings, in which:
FIGURE 1 schematically illustrates the mechanical design of a light barrier in accordance with the present invention;
' FIGURE 2 illustrates the polygonal mirror with the arrangement in accordance with the present invention;
FIGURE 3 illustrates a block diagram of the electric circuitry; and
FIGURE 4 is a somewhat simplified overall circuit diagram.
Although the following disclosure offered for public dissemination is detailed to ensure adequacy and aid understanding, this is not intended to prejudice that purpose of a patent which is to cover each new inventive concept therein no matter how others may later disguise it by variations in form or additions or further improvements. The claims at the end hereof are intended as the chief aid toward this purpose; as it is these that meet the requirement of pointing out the parts, improvements or combinations in which the inventive concepts are found.
From a light source a beam of light 12 is produced through a lens 11. This beam of light is focused on a rotating polygonal mirror 13 and is periodically deflected thereby. The polygonal mirror 13 is arranged in the focal point of a narrow concave mirror 14 across which the beam of light 12 is directed. Consequently the beam of light 12 will sweep in parallel relationship periodically from. the top to the bottom of the area to be monitored, which is arranged in the plane of the paper in FIGURE 1. At the other side of such area to be monitored there is arranged a reflector 15 comprising a strip of many small triples. As is well-known, sucha reflector has the property of always reflecting incident light back into its direction of incidence irrespective of the angle of incidence thereof. Thus, the beam of light 12 will be reflected back into its path of incidence and after passing over concave mirror 14 and polygonal mirror 13 it will strike an inclined partially transmitting mirror 16 between light source 10 and polygonal mirror 13, whereby a portion of the returning light will be passed to a photoelectric detector 17. The light emitting and sweeping apparatus (i.e., 10, 13, 14, etc.) and the detector apparatus (i.e., 17,?etc.) make up an area monitoring means.
In the embodiment as described the polygonal mirror comprises four surfaces which are alternatingly mirrored and blackened. Upon intervention of a mirrored surface (FIGURE 2) of the polygonal mirror 13 the beam of light 12 sweeps across the area to be monitored and upon returning strikes the detector 17 if there is no obstacle present in this areav being monitored. During the subsequent intervention of the blackened side of face 21, no light Will'strike the detector 17. The detector 17 supplies an electrical pulse indicative of no light, referred to herein as a dark pulse. However, the detector 17 is only able to supply a .dark pulse when having been illuminated previously, i.e., when a contrast occurs. For instance, it might rhappen,that all of the reflector strip 15 is obscured by an obstacle so that no light strikes the detector either during passage of the mirrored surface 20 (protective cycle) or during passage of the blackened surface 21 (monitoring cycle). Thus, no light or electrical pulses occur. For this reason auxiliary mirrors 22 are provided on the edges of the polygonal mirror 13 between mirrored surfaces 20 and blackened surfaces 21. During the transition between the protective and monitoring cycles, auxiliary mirrors 22 cause light to be transmitted directly, that is, not via reflector 15, to the photoelectric detector 17. Thereby, the protective and monitoring cycles are positively separated from each other by bright pulses.
For evaluation of the light (or, perhaps more specif ically, the dark) pulses the phase of the polygonal mirror must be used. This may be done in different ways. If a rigid-in-pha-se synchronous motor is being employed for actuating the polygonal mirror, the phase of the supply voltage may be used directly as reference quantity. In such cases no additional components are required. When using drive motors which are not rigid-in-phase, the phase may, for example, be obtained by two photoelectric detectors 18 and 19 which are arranged adjacent the upper and lower ends of concave mirror 14, and oifset by about A ring 79 is mounted upon the rotor of the drive motor. Ring 79 is divided into reflecting and nonreflecting zones. Light from source it} is reflected by such ring and is directed to a photoelectric detector (not shown), to obtain the phase relation. It is also possible to magnetically pick off the phase position. In the embodiment of FIGURES 1, 3 and 4 the beam 12 is alternately directed to photocells 18 and 19 to provide electrical signals indicative of the phase position.
The photoelectric detector 17 is formed by a silicon photoelernent. This is an active element which itself sup plies a current upon illumination thereof and does not only change its resistance as do photocondu'ctive cells or the like. This precludes the danger of simulation of an illumination of the detector by a short-circuit. In dia-- gram 23 in FIGURE 4 the electrical signals are illustrated which are supplied by detector 17 During the protective cycles the detector receives light as is shown as at 24. During the intervening monitoring cycles 2-5 it does not receive any light. Between protective cycles 24 and the monitoring cycles 25 the detector will be illuminated via mirrors 22, noted as peaks 26 in the pulse diagram. If an obstacle protrudes into the area being monitored, protective dark pulses 27 will occur as gaps in the pickup signal during the protective cycles 24 as shown in broken lines in diagram 23. The current of the photoelement 17 produces a voltage drop across a resistor 28, which is applied across the input of a broadband amplifier 30 via a capacitor 29.
At the output of the broad-band amplifier 30 signals are produced as illustrated in diagram 31 in FIGURE 4, the broken line pulses being caused by an assumed obstacle in the path of rays. As compared with diagram 23, a phase reversal has taken place in amplifier 30 and a direct current portion has been lost. By a so-called clamping stage 32 the direct current portion will be added again, for all practical purposes, in the proper magnitude so that the pulses appear related to the zero line as is shown in diagram 33 in FIGURE 4.
The pulses, thus obtained, will be supplied to a trigger 34 at the output of which, as is illustrated as at 35, pulses of well-defined magnitude appear. These pulses 35 will be diiferentiated by a differentiating element 36 with a capacitor 37. The peaks produced from the front sides of the pulses when differentiated actuate respectively a monostable multivibrator 38. At the output of the monostable multivibrator pulses of well-defined magnitude and width will then appear. In diagram 41 pulses 39 are from the park pulses 25. Pulses 40, shown in broken lines, are protective dark pulses resulting from the dark pulses 27.
These pulses are supplied to a phase dividing filter 42 which is controlled synchronously with the rotation of polygonal mirror 13 in a manner to be described hereinafter. Filter 42 has two outputs 43, 44 at which, only the protective pulses 40 appear (i.e., the dark pulses occurring during the protective cycle and orginating from an obstacle in the path of rays). This is illustrated in diagram 45. The output pulses at 43 and 44 are supplied to one input of each of gates 50 and 1 as direct current signals. These pulses are smoothed by rectifiers 4'6 and 47 and capacitors 48, 49. The gates comprise one transistor each 52 and 53, respectively, to the base of which the smoothed pulses are supplied through resistors 54 and 55, respectively.
Gate 51 has a second input to which are supplied pulses according to diagram 41 appearing at the input of the phase dividing filter 42. These are applied across the collector of transistor 53 through a wire 56, an amplifier 57 and a rectifier arrangement 58, including a smoothing capacitor 59. At the output 60 of gate 51 an output signal will only be obtained when there are pulses 39 present in the signal to the second input thereof. Pulses 3-9, of course, are those resulting from the monitoring-dark pulses 25'. However, no output signal will be produced at output 60 if pulses 40 are being applied at the first input, i.e., at the base of transistor 53. Through a switching amplifier 61 the relay 62 will be energized if there are no monitoring (dark) pulses 25 or 39 or if there are protective pulses 40. When relay 62 is energized, it switches off the machine being protected.
The phase dividing filter 4 2 is controlled by two phototransistors 18 and 19 which, as is illustrated in FIGURE 1, are arranged adjacent the edges of concave mirror 14 at the top and at the bottom thereof. These supply a pulse each time the light ray 1'2 sweeps across them. These pulses control a bistable multivibrator 63 having two transistors 64, 65. If, at the beginning of its scanning movement, the beam of light sweeps across phototransistor 18, the bistable multivibrator will be caused to assume one switching state, and when, at the end of the scanning movement, the beam of light 112 sweeps across the second phototransistor, the multivibrator will be caused to assume the second switching state. It remains in the second switching state during the monitoring cycle where there is no light passing over the blackened surface 21 to fall on phototransistors 1-8, 19. With the beginning of the next scan cycle there will be a resetting of the multivibrator into the first switching state. Therefore, a square-Wave volt-age is obtained across resistor 66, as is illustrated in diagram 67 in FIGURE 4. A square-Wave voltage in phase opposition thereto appears across resistor 69 of the bistable multivibrator 63 as seen in diagram 68.
The voltage 67 controls the phased dividing filter 42 so that the latter only permits the pulses to pass through which occur during the protective cycle (diagram 45). The voltage 68 is supplied to an oscillating circuit 70 tuned to the normal scan frequency. In the oscillating circuit 70 there will be produced a sine wave according to diagram 71. The amplitude of this sine wave is greatly decreased if the frequency of the square-wave voltage 68 substantially deviates from the natural frequency of the oscillating circuit 70. A trigger stage 72 again transforms the sine wave voltage into a square-Wave voltage (according to diagram 73) provided the amplitude of the sine wave exceeds a certain threshold value. Otherwise the output of trigger 72 is zero.
The square wave at the output of the trigger (diagram 73) is applied to the second input of the gate 50. It is rectified and smoothed by means of rectifiers 74, 75 and capacitor 76 and is applied across the collector of transistor 52 of gate 50. To the first input of gate 50 the smoothed pulses 40 from the phase dividing filter 42 is supplied. The output of the gate 50 energizes a relay 78 through a switching amplifier 77. The control is such that the relay will be deenergized and at the same time stop the machine being protected, if the second input signal originating from the oscillating circuit 70 is absent (indicating that the scan frequency has deviated from the nominal value thereof) or if there are protective pulses 40 from an obstacle being applied to the gate.
The relays 62 and 78 operate in opposite sense. If one relay pulls up, the other must break off, or vice versa. Additional safety is thereby attained. If, during the press stroke, the transistors in the output circuit fail, it might happen that both relays are energized and remain so. By reason of the operation of the relays in opposite sense, such a condition will switch off the machine being protected. Similarly, a power failure which would deenergize both relays will switch oif the machine. If the monitoring dark pulses do not appear at gate 51, the machine will be shut down. Therefore, there is a constant testing of the functional capability of the light barrier about one hundred times per second through the use of the monitoring dark pulses. In case of failure of any element of the light barrier, the machine will be stopped.
A proper and simultaneous actuation of both relays 62 and 78 is attained by a sensitivity control. To this end, a resistor 82 and a transistor 81 are used, which transistor is rendered conductive, thus low-resistant, through wire 80 from amplifier 61, if there is no obstacle in the path of rays, i.e., if there are also no protective pulses 40. Thus, the input of trigger 34 is controlled insensitively," that is the trigger 34 only responds to a large input signal. As soon as a dark pulse 27 originating from an obstacle in the path of rays exceeds the threshold of trigger 34, the trigger produces an output pulse in response thereto. This produces a signal 40 and causes amplifier 61 to respond, From amplifier 60 a voltage is derived to block transistor 81. Thereby, the threshold of trigger 34 is lowered so that smaller obstacle pulses 27 will result in a signal at the output of the trigger until the smallest signal decreased below the reduced threshold. Optical dissymmetries mainly due to the mirror wheel and whereby obstacle pulses of different magnitude occur, are thus made ineffective. Therefore, the switching relays will always be positively energized.

As successful as the 9/12 Washington Tea Party was, it still left us with some questions: Who were those wonderful czars? Where did they come from? And most importantly, do they mind if we take some more pictures?
Thanks to the Green Czar (AKA Floridajayhawk on Twitter), we now know a little more about these cheerful, good-natured lovers of liberty and what they're trying to get off their chests. He was nice enough to answer a few questions via e-mail:
Greetings, Green Czar! So, who are you fine folks?
We live in South Florida. Boob Czar lives in a state close to Florida. We got involved with southfloridateaparty.org. We have done many protests in South Florida.
How did you come up with the idea?
Well, the founder of South Florida Tea Party came up with Boob Czar. I came up with Transparency Czar. (I cannot remember who came up with Dancing with the Czars... it might have been me, and it might have been the founder, over beers at P.F. Chang's. We were going to have 20+ people dance in front of the White House in costume, but people chickened out.) Beer Czar could not make it... but next year! We might have Stimulus Czars too. Think hot twin nurses with short skirts!
We wanted to illustrate absurdity by using absurdity. Make a mockery of the czars.
Are there more "czars" besides you three?
The objective was to bring 20-30 people in costumes and take photos in front of the White House at 8 a.m. Well, only 3 of us showed up in costumes, and we stayed up till 2 a.m. drinking on Friday and did not get the photo in front of the White House! Damn!
What's southfloridateaparty.org all about? Are you planning more events?
There is a big event in South Florida on Oct 4 with Joe the Plumber, Lloyd Marcus, and maybe the Boob Czar.
A lot of people are looking at the Boob Czar and asking: Are they real? Her principles, that is.
She is all about freedom. She works in the import/export trade business (smart girl). Southern belle.
Do you guys plan to sell Boob Czar t-shirts? How about bikinis?
T-shirts? Maybe. Will update you.
Thanks for all the positive feedback, input, and interest. I put about 30 names for potential czars on Twitter about 2-3 weeks ago. Watch southfloridateaparty.org for more events. You never know... if Tea Parties want Boob Czar to make appearances, we might arrange that!
I will tell you we had more women who just loved Boob Czar. You cannot believe it. The older the women, the more they went crazy for her. It was too cool. Hanging out with those two, it was like being with Britney Spears and Paris Hilton for a day. We had hundreds of cameras all over us anytime we walked anywhere. It was fun.
Sounds like we'll be seeing more pics! Which is of course, y'know, good for morale. And countering the media narrative of "They're all angry nutjobs." (Also: B-b-buh-buh-boobs.)
Well, thanks to the Green Czar, AKA Floridajayhawk, for the info. Let's hope we see some more of these czars and fewer of those crappy ones Obama keeps forcing on us!
P.S. I just came up with a little poem:
P.P.S. "Inchestigative journalism"? Guilty as charged!

Do you prefer being the good cop or the bad cop?
Not particularly interested in being in the police force or the CIA to be honest, but.. generally I fall more into favoring the good cop role over the bad cop one. Though there are times when that opinion is reversed.

That's because after Miami (Fla.) prospect Sean Taylor, there was no clear cut second-rated safety on most team's draft boards.
Purdue's Stuart Schweigert may have changed that with his
performance in Indianapolis.
Scouts already knew the 6-2, 218-pound had ideal size to play
safety in the NFL. And they also knew because of his
school-record 17 interceptions - five more than Rod Woodson
had as a Boilermaker - that Schweigert possesses excellent
ball skills.
But Schweigert really opened eyes when he ran a pair of
blistering 4.45-second 40s on the notoriously slow track at
Indianapolis, one of the best times clocked by the safety
prospects who chose to run there.
"I wanted to do everything there so I could be a little more laid
back at (Purdue's) pro day," said Schweigert, a four-year starter
at free safety.
He not only did that, but coupled with his performance at the
Senior Bowl, Schweigert also firmly established himself as a
player who will hear his name called during the first day of next
month's draft.
That's not bad for a guy who was recruited by Nebraska as an
option quarterback and went to Purdue thinking he was an
offensive player.
"As a high school guy, I was an offensive player, but when I got to
Purdue, there was a spot open at free safety," Schweigert said.
"Ever since that fall, I never looked back. I fell in love with
Schweigert immediately realized his future was as a defensive
player after setting a school freshman record with five
interceptions, including two off of former Indiana quarterback and
current Steelers wide receiver Antwaan Randle El deep in
Boilermakers' territory during a Purdue win in 2000.
The coaching staff offered to allow him to play offense also that
spring, but Schweigert chose to concentrate on defense after
winning Big Ten Defensive Freshman of the Year honors.
"They gave me the opportunity to play both," Schweigert said.
"But since I had that freshman year where I saw quite a bit of
playing time, I decided to concentrate on defense."
Schweigert likely would have left Purdue after his junior season,
but he missed the opener that season with a sprained knee and
then had a nagging calf injury dog him throughout that remainder
of that season. So he stayed in school, hoping to put together a
strong senior season.
After picking off just two passes as a junior, he rebounded with
four interceptions as a senior, adding 2.5 sacks and 89 tackles
to boot.
Then, at the Senior Bowl, he showed teams he was more than
just a centerfielder as he showed off his coverage skills in some
of the different drills.
"I was a little worried about my man-to-man skills because I
hadn't done it, but once I got there, I forgot about that and just
went and played," Schweigert said. "I got an interception in
one-on-ones and we did a press release drill where I got up and
pressed the receivers. But I think I had a pretty good week."
Even so, man-to-man isn't his strength. Schweigert is at his best
when the ball is in the air.
"I think the strength of my game is my instincts," he said. "I think
get a pretty good break on the ball and I think that led to a lot of
my interceptions. I want to be in on every single play. On a run
play, even if I'm blitzing, I want to run back down field and make a

One downside for Schweigert will be some minor problems he
had with alcohol while at Purdue. He was twice charged with
underage drinking as a freshman and last spring was charged
with public drunkenness after failing a field sobriety test when a
vehicle driven by him was pulled over by police. A more serious
charge of drunken driving was thrown out because of a
But Schweigert feels he answered many of those character
questions and more during the infamous interview sessions at
the combine.
"There's some really strange stuff there," he said. "The New York Giants test was pretty crazy. It was like 180 true or false and
about eight pages of fill in the blank. 'Would you rather be a dog
or a cat?' 'Did you ever think about killing someone?' It's just
kind of off the wall stuff. The Houston Texans test was pretty nice.
It was like problem solving. You would do a peg board with
another guy on the other side and you're trying to tell him where
to you're are at, but he's looking at it from a different way. It was
catching bean bags with goggles on that mess up your vision."

Guest Book
This rare and attractively-shaped round pottery jar was made over 4,000 years ago by peoples of the Caiyuan Culture (c. 2600 - 2200 BC) and has been excavated from the Ningxia Autonomous Region in the north of China. It is finely-potted with a wide body and wide flared-mouth. The surface above the waist, as well as the inside of the mouth, has been finely-burnished and is very smooth to the touch. Around the neck is a band of decorative indentations. Note the unusual way in which the underside of the rim has been formed. The surface below the waist shows marks from the shaping tool, and the base has what seem to be carved diagonal markings.
A good size with a height of 19 cm and diameter of 20 cm. Fine condition with only a small surface chip to the top of the rim and no sign of restoration or repair.
