This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/234,657, filed Aug. 18, 2009, which is incorporated by reference herein.
The present invention is in the field of dose counters for metered dose inhalers (MDIs). There is a regulatory requirement to either display the number of doses remaining within the device or show whether the spray canister is exhausted, and the present invention provides an electronic dose counter which supplies such an indication in a simple manner.
The idea of having a dose counter is well known in the art, and a number of potential implementations for such a counter exist. U.S. Pat. No. 5,363,842 describes an inhaler which detects how much air is inhaled through it and during what course of time, including such measurements as the triggering of the release of aerosol, and also incorporates a dose counter.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,411,173 describes a counter device attachment for a depressible spray dispenser for products such as medicine. The dispenser comprises a clip to fit about the side wall of the dispenser's casing, a foot-leg positioned beneath the dispenser and connected to the clip, and a counter actuated by the shaft which moves within a shaft housing, wherein a button on the counter is incremented each time the tank is depressed.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,482,030 describes a counter for a spray container implementing a counting disk showing the number of activations. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,544,647 and 5,622,163 describe an electronic counting device mounted on the exterior of the housing, which indicates the number of doses remaining in the canister as signaled by a switch activated by the canister movement.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,505,192 describes an electronic dispenser monitoring circuit mounted on the canister, comprising an elastomeric membrane switch which serves to count the number of doses given. U.S. Pat. No. 5,676,129 describes a dose counter based on the use of a miniature pressure sensor which detects the pressure pulse in the transfer channel of the mouthpiece of the MDI through which the inhaler dose is released. U.S. Pat. No. 5,809,997 describes a dose counter attached to the inhaler housing incorporating a strain gauge sensing extending through a hole in a side of the housing for engaging a portion of the canister next to the valve stem. The sensing arm senses when the valve stem of the canister is properly compressed for release of medication.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,029,659 describes an inhaler inside a housing of which a dose counter is activated by a push button that is depressed when force is applied to the canister. U.S. Pat. No. 6,138,669 describes the use of a miniature pressure sensor and microprocessor to detect the pressure pulse in the transfer channel of the mouthpiece of the MDI through which the inhaler dose is released. U.S. Pat. No. 6,283,365 describes a dose counter attached or attachable to the base of the canister, comprising a spring-loaded cap which is depressed in relation to a second part mounted on the domed base of the canister. Within the cap is a pair of independently rotatable rings, where each depression of the cap relative to the canister, causes the first ring to rotate and thus implement a mechanical counter. U.S. Pat. No. 6,405,727 describes a dose counting mechanism based on a wheel with a toothed disc portion and a smooth disc, the smooth disc of the wheel bearing digits 00 to 20 and the wheel bearing digits 0 to 9. When the wheels are viewed the display can show any number from 000 to 209.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,431,168 describes a mechanical, cog-based, dose indicator located within the base of the inhaler housing, by the outlet of the canister. U.S. Pat. No. 6,446,627 describes a dose indicator based on a rotary gear which moves in step-wise fashion in response to displacement of an actuator, where the rotary gear comprises a wheel having a plurality of ratchet teeth. U.S. Pat. No. 6,659,307 describes a dose counter comprising at least one flexible rotary counting element applied against and turning on a curved support surface.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,761,161 describes a dose counter comprising a ratchet wheel, a drive member selectively engaging the indicating member, a pawl selectively engaging the ratchet wheel, and a non-return member adapted to selectively engage the ratchet wheel so as to maintain a unidirectional rotation of the ratchet wheel. In one embodiment, the indicating device also includes a usage indicator member having usage indicia that indicates the number of usage cycles completed or remaining for the indicating device.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,331,340 describes an inhaler for use with a removable pressurized aerosol canister, having a display for indicating to a user the state of the canister. A memory device on the canister (or a housing which houses the canister) stores information indicative of doses dispensed from, or remaining in, the canister, where that information is processed to provide and display information representative of the state of the canister. US 20040255936 describes a disposable dose counter. US 20060254581 describes a counter module affixed to a MDI canister, and is thus differentiated from an embodiment in which the counter is affixed or built into an actuator body. The visual display is read from above the inhaler, or from a direction that is generally radial with respect to the major axis of the inhaler. Relative motion of the canister within the actuator body activates a switch component of the EDC module by means of a trigger mechanism positioned within a cap that is fixedly mounted to the canister.
US 20070295329 also describes an electronic counter module mounted on the base of the canister, where depression of the top of this module closes two contacts separated by a spring. The spring ensures that sufficient force is developed before the counter is incremented. US 20080017193 describes a dose counter comprising a sensor for directly detecting a metered medicament dose dispensed from said container through its outlet, and a visual display unit for displaying the number of metered doses of medicament used or remaining within the container.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,587,988 describes a mechanical dose indicator comprising a counter housing, a rocker arm with a pawl, the rocker arm being pivotally supported by the housing and arranged to perform a rocker movement in response to a linear actuation motion, a return spring for resetting the rocker arm, a ratchet wheel engageable with the pawl to convert the movement of the rocker arm into an incremental rotational motion of an axle arrangement, thus advancing a display means.
US 20080066742 describes a mechanical counting mechanism where the display arrangement is of pointer-gauge type with a static display section provided as an integrated part of a transparent display containing part of a counter housing. U.S. Pat. No. 7,637,227 describes a inhaler device counter for displaying remaining doses of medicine having a pointer gauge type display, integrally formed with the counter housing. US 2009139516 describes a dose counter for an inhaler having a count wheel with fixed index tooth arranged for intermittent meshing with kick teeth, such that rotation of a kick wheel results from rotation of the count wheel when intermittent meshing occurs.
Thus the prior art is broadly divided into (a) mechanical solutions with some kind of dial which is advanced mechanically after each depression of the canister, and (b) electronic devices showing the number of doses remaining on an LCD or such like. The electronic type of dose counter is further divided into those which sense the aerosol dose being released (for example using a pressure sensor located adjacent to the aerosol outlet), and those based on a switch which is actuated upon the physical depression of the canister. In the latter type, the travel or physical movement between the open and the closed position of the switch takes place either between the canister and its housing (i.e. the inhaler) or between two parts of a module attached to the canister. In either case, it is the physical travel associated with the physical depression of the canister which closes the switch and thus increments the dose counter. As with any dose counter that is not actually verifying the release of the dose but is merely based on the travel detected, there is a possibility of false positives or false negatives.
An objective of the present invention is to provide an electronic dose counter which is not based on travel and is therefore less subject to potential mechanical errors than some prior art embodiments. Further objects of the present invention include reduction of potential false positives (where the counter is decremented but the dose is not delivered) and false negatives (where the dose is delivered but the counter is not decremented).
A further objective of the invention is to provide a method for using an electronic dose counter for recording, downloading and analyzing the dosing history from one or more MDIs. Such a method may be used to enable a medical practitioner to evaluate the compliance of the patient with a medication regimen.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a method of treatment whereby the prescribing information of the relevant MDI drug recommends that the medication regimen should not be changed without the medical practitioner first evaluating the patient's compliance history.
These objectives are realized in accordance with an aspect of the invention by a dose indicator comprising a force or pressure sensor and an electronic controller; said dose indicator being attached to the base of canister of a metered dose inhaler (MDI) in order to detect the activation action of said MDI. As the patient applies pressure to the canister in order to press the canister into the inhaler device, the sensor detects that pressure has been applied to the base of the canister. Data are collected by an electronic controller that processes the input from this sensor and includes the pressure gradients and duration. Given that the canister has a known firing pattern in terms of pressure gradient and duration, the controller can implement an algorithm that can be set to decrement the dose counter only when the pressure profile detected closely matches the profile required to "fire" the canister in order to deliver the dose. Advantageously, this ensures that the potential for false positives and false negatives registered by the dose counter of the present invention is minimized. Advantageously, the approach of the present invention also obviates the need to provide some kind of mechanical travel arrangement within or associated with the dose counter, thereby reducing the potential for mechanical failure. In some embodiments, the dose counter is a miniature module, which is attached to the base of the canister and which contains all the elements required to implement the functionality of the dose counter—i.e. the pressure sensor, the controller, digital display and battery—in a thin, low-profile, module or sticker.
Furthermore, the addition of an electronic dose counter (whether such as that provided above or otherwise implemented) enables the implementation of a method of recording and downloading the history of the doses taken, and associating this history with a specific day and time. The invention provides a method of performing such recording and associated communications mechanisms for associating the dosing history with a specific date and time.
In order to understand the invention and to see how it may be carried out in practice, embodiments will now be described, by way of non-limiting example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
The operating principle of the dose counter is that it is able to capture data from its force sensor component in order to determine with a high degree of accuracy whether a dose has been administered from an MDI. Referring now to
Referring now to
Further functions that the dose counter 14 can incorporate include:
In some embodiments of the dose counter of the present invention, the counter is fabricated as a multi-layer "sandwich" type assemblage in order to simplify construction and minimize component costs. Referring now to
The layers of the dose counter may be arranged (and any internal spaces filled in) such that the dose counter constitutes a largely solid integral object which conveys the force applied on its top surface (which is the transparent layer 20 in the preferred embodiment shown) to the force sensor 22. A number of potential force or pressure sensor technologies may be used in the present invention, including but not limited to pressure sensitive resistors (FSRs), piezoelectric sensors, strain gauges, and MEMS-based sensing technologies for measuring strain and capacitance. Preferably, the force sensitive resistor extends over most of the surface area of the appropriate layer within the dose indicator, as shown in this figure.
Advantageously, the use of an electronic module (as opposed to a mechanical counter) enables the measurement not just of the action performed but also of the duration of this action. Thus, whereas a mechanical mechanism can show displacement, it is typically unable to show whether the displacement were maintained for sufficient time to ensure delivery of the dose. However, an electronic dose counter such as that of the present invention is capable of monitoring not only the action performed but also its duration. Referring now to
In order to achieve an accurate determination of when an actuation has taken place it is important to understand that the interpretation of the force applied requires a software component, and thus an electronic controller, for a number of reasons. For example, the activation force of the canister typically decreases over the number of actuations owing to aging, such that the force required for the initial actuations is significantly altered during the use of the product. For example, typical figures for "force to fire" are around 18N-20N at the start of use, gradually declining, roughly linearly, to around 15-17N as the MDI approaches the last dose (after say 120 doses). Thus, in this example, the threshold set in the software of the dose counter can for instance start at just above 18N, and then decline linearly to starting just above 15N; in order to minimize the number of false positives. The dose counter of the present invention includes a software component capable of implementing such an algorithm, which of course cannot be done using a fixed spring to determine the force applied as is done by some hitherto-proposed solutions. Furthermore, the controller of the present invention also measures the duration of the depression, so that the dose counter cannot be triggered by the device for example falling to the ground and receiving a knock on the base of the canister.
As shown in
The addition of an electronic dose counter (whether such as that provided above or otherwise implemented) enables the implementation of a method of recording and downloading the history of the doses taken, and associating this history with a specific day and time. Possible methods for associating the dosing history with a specific date and time include the following:
Although the above examples describe the communication as taking place though a wired connection to the medical practitioner's computer, these are just examples and the scope of the method should be understood to encompass any type of communication between a dose counter and an external computer, whether wired or wireless, and any kind of remote displaying or analyzing device whether a hand-held computer or a central health-system one. Thus the dose counter history could be uploaded wirelessly from a Bluetooth™/WiFi-enabled cradle to a remote computer via the cellular network. Likewise the display and or analysis device can be a hand-held computer or smart phone, which can optionally serve to store the dosing history.
The dose recording and downloading method of the present invention also provides the functionality to make use of time-stamped dose history uploaded by an electronic dose counter to an external host system, such as a doctor's computer, for more extensive analysis. Such functionality can include integrating the uploaded history over time, whereby data from both the current inhaler device and previous ones are displayed in tabulated or graphical form along a common time axis. Advantageously, as some patients have two or more different types of inhaler, this functionality enables data relating to the presentation and/or analysis of the history of use of multiple inhalers (of all types) used by the patient to be superimposed. This can give a clear picture of the patient's medical history, for example how often he has used a rescue inhaler and at what times of the day.
As is standard on MDIs and many other drug products, the prescribing information provides dosing information and/or other instructions. In the specific case of an MDI with a dose counter which stores the dosing history (as per the current invention), this prescribing information can additionally perform the role of conveying a recommendation to the medical practitioner. Such recommendation may be not to change a medication regimen until the patient's dosing history has been evaluated for compliance with the intended regimen. For example, the medical practitioner may believe that, as the patient is apparently not responding to (or properly "controlled" by) the medication, the patient should be given a more potent drug. However, the purpose of the recommendation on the prescribing information is to ensure that the medical practitioner does not make this determination without first reviewing the patient's actual compliance history. If, on review of the dosing history, it transpires that the patient has not been taking the drug as required, then the medical practitioner should take this fact into account. This method of treating a patient increases the likelihood that a patient will not be prescribed a new medication regimen unless a previous regimen—with which he was verified to be compliant—is shown to be ineffective.
Typical MDI drugs for asthma include both controller and reliever medications. Controllers such as an inhaled corticosteroid serve to reduce the likelihood of having an asthma attack. Reliever drugs, such as Beta2-antagonists, on the other hand, serve to respond to an asthma attack when it occurs. The use of a dose counter having download capability on both types of inhaler enables the medical practitioner to show the dosage history from both MDIs in a unified picture as illustrated in
In one embodiment, the dose history may be stored as an Internet-based application. In this embodiment, the dosing history is stored on a web server and the patient and the medical practitioner can view this history through their computers, preferably by viewing the appropriate web application through a browser.
In order to minimize the power consumption of the dose controller, a push button as shown in the block diagram may be activated by the initial force applied to the upper surface 20 of the dose counter, such that that the circuit is then activated and the change of force applied over time monitored by the microcontroller unit (MCU) thus awakened. To this end it is preferable to use a microcontroller which can be re-activated very quickly, such as the MSP430F4132IPM microcontroller from Texas Instruments. Advantageously, this enables the limited power supply supplied by a small battery to maintain both the timekeeping function and the time-stamping of the dose recording to work over a long time period extending as far as a few years. This is desirable as the inhalers may have a long shelf-life, followed by a year or two of occasional use.
In conclusion, the invention provides a dose counter based on integrating an electronic module into the base of an MDI canister, the dose counter being capable of measuring the number of doses delivered and displaying the number of doses delivered or remaining via an electronic display means. The dose counter uses a force sensor to detect the action of depressing the canister into the MDI housing in order to deliver the dose, and thus does not depend on the measurement of physical travel. Also described is a method for recording and downloading the dosing history. Although some preferred embodiments have been described, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments as described and is limited only the scope of the appended claims.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
Good Afternoon,
I'm trying the Manager instead of manually configuring it.
I'm using version 40430, and openPDC-SampleDataSet.mdb file from the same version.
I've changed the path's and the .mdb permission to allow the IIS user to change the file.
Here comes somethings I've noticed:
1) When I create a node without setting the company, it creates the node in the .mdb file, but it doesn't appear in the Manager interface
2) The Historian is also saved when created, but it doesn't appear in the interface as well.
3) The Measurements were also created by the wizard, but don't appear in the interface.
If I click on Measurements from Devices, I can see it. If I click on Measurements from the Manage - Measurements menu, it doesn't work.
I checked the mdb file opening MS Access, so I can see the data there, but not in the Manager interface.
So I only can see the Nodes and Devices list, but not the Measurements (from Manage menu) menu and Historians list.
The combo boxes shows the data, the problem is the list.
Any guess? :)
Thanks and Regards,
Luiz Henrique
Hi Luiz,
I was able to reproduce #1 on my side. The fix is to change "NodeDetail" query to use LEFT JOIN. This is a bug as CompanyID is not a required field in the Node table. Please modify NodeDetail query as below:
SELECT N.ID, N.Name, IIf(IsNull(N.CompanyID),0,N.CompanyID) AS CompanyID, IIf(IsNull(N.Longitude),0,N.Longitude) AS Longitude, IIf(IsNull(N.Latitude),0,N.Latitude) AS Latitude, N.Description & '' AS Description, N.ImagePath & '' AS ImagePath, N.Master,
N.LoadOrder, N.Enabled, C.Name & '' AS CompanyName
FROM Node AS N LEFT JOIN Company AS C ON N.CompanyID = C.ID;
This fix may help with other issues too. If not then please provide me some more detail on the issues and if possible, please email me your .mdb file at
Thank you for bringing this to our attention,
Mehul Thakkar
Hello, thanks for your help!
The Historian list doesn't appear, I think it's not related to #1.
Just for the record, the outputstream configuration worked very well, Congratulations for the work!
It saves a lot of time! :)
I'm sending the config file!
For Historians screen, please check HistorianDetail query in the access database to see if it returns any records. For Measurements, please check MeasurementDetail query. Please let me know the results.
Thank you,
Mehul Thakkar
The data is returned by HistorianDetail and MeasurementDetail query. Did you receive the config file? I sent yesterday, a .zip file.
I did a new configuration, and now everything is working fine. I used the default DEVARCHIVE historian name.
I noticed that in my config file, the islocal column is checked, but in the Historian screen, it's not.
Your email with attachment was blocked by exchange server. I looked at your access file and ran my development environment against it and encountered similar issues as yours. I have just checked in modified code to fix issues you have mentioned so far. Please
get the latest code on openPDCManager and openPDCManagerServices. Let us know if you encounter anymore issues or have any suggestions.
Great! :)
I have some more suggestions/issues , I hope it helps!
- The piechart, in the Home screen, changes the color when clicked, but not the labels.
- In Device Configuration Wizard, in step 1, selected both files, Clicked Next. In step 2, clicked Previous. In step 1 clicked Next again, it raised a Parse Error.

Willie's right "It's All Going To Pot"
"Well, it's all going to pot
Whether we like it or not
Best I can tell
The world's gone to hell
And we're sure gonna miss it a lot"
Willie Nelson
The world is going to pot, my friends. Reefer madness is upon us now that governments have finally discovered the benefits of marijuana. I'm not referring to the medicinal benefits; governments have ignored those for decades and squandered a few billion taxpayer dollars chasing stoners in the process. No sir! I'm talking about the only two benefits that could motivate and inspire government to act; indeed the only two things at which government is truly accomplished – taxation and regulation.
Back in March 2012, I wrote a post warning of the changes that would come with the legalization of Mother Nature but despite the fact that it was the most widely shared and read post I have written to date – my warning went largely unheeded. Now it is upon us and it is too late to turn back.
Canada is about to legalize marijuana and this is what I think will happen as a result. It's a situation so serious, even Hell's Angels are protesting legalization if only because it will cut into their market share and profits. Continue reading
Did They Ban Egg Rolls Too?
Once again, Communism rears its ugly head to show just how repressive it is. It is pure evil as The People's Republic of China has again demonstrated. China has outlawed strippers at funerals.
The heartless bastards!
It seems that many in rural China had started hiring exotic dancers to entertain at funerals or as one person put it, "to add to the fun" of the occasion. It was obviously a natural extension of traditional folk dancing.
I admit that when I first heard this I was both surprised and not just a little impressed that China actually had strippers. You just automatically assume that it would have been one of the first things on the Mao Top 40 hit list. But after my initial reaction subsided, I saw this for what it is – naked repression.

For Goodness Snakes!
I don't care much for snakes although I'm not really afraid of them unless, of course, they have big gnarly teeth, have a reall bad attitude or are longer than my arm. Then, I confess, I become a tad apprehensive but I have a growing sense that we're all going to have to get used to snakes more than ever before.
Goodness snakes; they're everywhere these days – even in the news.
So many people have released their Burmese and African Rock pythons in Florida that the Department of Wildlife has given up trying to eradicate them all. Those little buggers have settled in quite nicely and are breeding like bunnies. The Burmese python has aclimatized in the Everglades while the African Rock python, which is more of an up-town kind of snake has settled in around Miami. No doubt because of the Mai Tais and Latin music. Continue reading
The Kids are Alright
Maggie and I refer to our two dogs as 'The Kids'. This is not an attempt to humanize them – they're dogs. It's simply the acceptance of the fact that regardless of their age, when they're not eating, pooping or sleeping they behave like a couple of 8-year olds with a sugar high.
Tanya is a five-year old purebred registered German Shepherd and Jasper is an eleven-year old purebred Springer Spaniel. They're both smart enough and certainly a lot smarter than many of our political leaders but they have the emotional maturity of adolescent teenage girls with an attitude and a new iPhone.
I'm a big believer in the pack theory about dogs. They look on whatever family group they're a part of as a pack – their pack. Breed, gender, political ideology; even species doesn't matter. The pack is the pack and their affection and loyalty is to the pack. If you're lucky; they look on you as pack leader.
On second thought, maybe they're not as smart as I thought they were.
That's all well and good and we do practice 'pack theory' of sorts but the problem with it is that every now and then, The Kids get thinking that while you may be the boss (or the Alpha male as dog trainers like to refer to it), you're just like them or they're just like you. That doesn't mean they forment revolution and an overthrow of the status quo, it means they get thinking that how they do things is how we do things and that, my friends, ain't how life is.

Oh Crap!
"Some people are so positive, that when they slip in dog poop, they pirouette"
Josh Stern
I'm not one of those people. I hate crap!
I don't mean that I'm uncomfortable around it, I mean I hate it. It makes me gag to the point where I can barely breathe and I'm in serious jeopardy of tossing my last meal all over the walls.
Crap has many names: meadow muffin, shit, guano, cow flop, turd but no matter what it's called – I hate it. I don't even like my own crap if the truth be told.
It was all I could do when my daughter was a baby to change a diaper.
My wife and I agreed to take turns changing diapers – a kind of disgusting form of Russian roulette. If you were lucky, when it was your turn the baby had just peed. If the stars were not aligned in your favour, the diaper was filled with some kind of toxic waste that the Nuclear Regulatory Agency wouldn't touch.
There is nothing more disgusting on God's earth than the green, quasi-liquid, smoking mess that comes out of a nine-month old baby.
The first time I was confronted with a dirty diaper, I gagged so much that I was in serious danger of projectile vomiting on my daughter laying on the basinet in front of me. My wife had to bail me – and our daughter out of danger by finishing the job. The next time it was my turn, we were in the living room and my wife smiled evilly and said, "It's your turn and it's vile!"
But I was prepared this time. Continue reading
I took a bit of break from the daily grind of writing posts partly because I just got really busy with a number of other things including a stupid amount of landscaping. I wish Maggie would whack me on the back of the head when I dream up these projects. You would think she would be eager to whack me considering she usually gets roped into doing a lot of lugging and mulching.
She's a good soul is our Maggie.
I took a break because this year had a somewhat rough start with four deaths in the family over a few weeks in January and early February. These were people I have known and cared about all of my life and the loss of them made for a bitter spring. I needed some time to contemplate things and I came to the realization that my family has been too busy to stay in touch the way all our parents kept us in touch as we were growing up.
So. . .I decided to organize a family reunion and invited some 80 people from newborns to a few in their 80s. Because Maggie and I are hosting it here at the ranch, it's been a lot of work preparing for the onslaught but it has been worth it. The response by the family has been a little overwhelming and people, some of us haven't seen or talked to in a very long time are coming; some from great distances, to reconnect with each other.
The other reason I needed a break was because I had lost my sense of humour and was becoming just one more angry voice in the discordant choir that has replaced civil discussion and thoughtful debate in this brave new world. We spend more time choosing sides, assigning blame and arguing about who's right or wrong than we do trying to find solutions to our common problems. It's as if we see life as just one big sports event and all we do is cheer and jeer. I wanted to take some time to reasses what I believe in and what is important to me.
Family stood out as the most important thing to me and my great regret is that it took the deaths of four people to remind me of that.
I'm ready to get back to it now, or more accurately, as soon as the reunion is over this weekend so I will start posting again on August 4th. There's a lot going on in the world, much of it dangerous and too much of the west's response has been weak, foolish and remarkably uninformed. Too many innocent people, especially children, are being slaughtered in places like Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Iraq, Israel, Egypt and Pakistan and I can't help but think of the devastation that has been brought to all those families….those innocent families just like mine…. as a result. I also couldn't help but wonder if we would be as arrogant in our assumptions about who is to blame or what should be done if it was our families being slaughtered. It's the 21st Century but we don't seem to have learned very much for all of our technological sophistication.
But we can talk about that next week. Until then, hope for the best for this savaged world and I'll hope to see you next Monday.

I've been thinking about stereotypes a lot lately… and what does a German look like? Whenever Germans are portrayed in advertising, or in festival invitations, they always seem to be wearing Lederhosen or Dirndls. But, as I'm reminded EVERY TIME I post such a photo, that is not how the typical German looks or dresses.
So, the question is… how should Germans be portrayed in around the world? How should Germans be identified?
What Does a German Look Like?
Should Germans be portrayed as blond haired and blue eyed? I know a lot of German Brunettes…
Maybe it's the feathered hat? Honestly, both of my Opa's wore hats, but no feathers…
What a German looks like is changing faster than ever. We are in a time of shifting population, but this is not new! (Just look at the German National Fussball Bund… it's a rainbow) And to me, skin and hair color are not as important as what's in your heart…. or how you integrate yourself into German life. In Germany… children whose families came from Turkey or Syria or India speak the language, sing the songs, and are learn culture, the right alongside the other kids.
(Personally, I the way I spot a German in a crowd? Their leather shoes and the ability to wear a scarf well.)
Dressing in "German" Tracht Is About Connection
So, is it wrong to associate Germans with Dirndls and Lederhosen? Are Americans being disrespectful to dress this way? What it comes down to is this: America is a land of immigrants. Some people have families that have arrived a few years ago, others have been for a few generations, and some people, their family may have immigrated even BEFORE Germany was unified from many states into one country back in 1870. One thing many people have in common is a desire to identify with family heritage. It gives them something to be a part of.
How do you connect with a place you've never been? Or a place you've visited once on a tour? Or maybe you were stationed there for a few years (And keep in mind, the American sector of Germany was Bavaria… so this is the image that was carried home to the US. Those Lederhosen and dirndls… Bavarian).
If great-grandfather came from Germany, and wore his feathered hat and Lederhosen to the festival every year, and everyone else wears the same, why wouldn't you?
I've never owned a dirndl when I was growing up… it's not very traditional in the corner of North Rhine Westphalia where my family ended up. And I've never flown a German flag in my home; patriotism was not encouraged in my world. Does that make me less German? Would an American see it as a failure of my "German-ness"? Would a German care?
Now… certainly, many Germans in Germany despair over the misconception of how they are perceived worldwide. The stereotype of what a German looks like…Oompha Music, Big Beer Steins, Lederhosen…. These things no more universally German than blond hair. I know, because it's bothered me too. "How can they do that?" "Does the world think we sit around all day drinking beer, eating bratwurst, and playing the accordion?" That image is as false as saying all Americans are fat, loud, and wear white tennis shoes.
Does everyone remember the opening ceremony for the Atlanta Olympics? "Americans" were portrayed as driving big trucks and wearing cowboy hats… lots of yee haws. American media has managed to convince the world that the true American is the Marlboro Man.
I've never said "yee Haw". A truck to me is a work vehicle. A cowboy hat is fun, but I don't have one.
And until I attended Germanfest, Milwaukee, I never wore a dirndl.
But I've been to some German Festivals, and I see how very HAPPY people are. How much they enjoy connecting with their heritage. How much they enjoy being a part of a group, and to connect with an ideal of what it means to be German.
So, About the Stereotypes… Are they really so bad? I know, and I'm sure most everyone knows that the average German does not walk around in festival gear. Germany is not some bizarre "Freilicht Museum" where people are cartoons. No more so than Irish walk around wearing green hats all the time, or Japanese wear Kimonos as daily wear.
Time and progress will continue to change what a German looks like or dresses like, but the vision held by many Americans, the stereotype if that's what you want to call it, probably won't. (People will always be a bit surprised to see an Asian kids speaking fluent German…) You can choose to be bothered, or take it as a compliment.
Whichever you choose, I guarantee you, if you come to a German Festival in America, however you choose to dress, whatever color you are, whether or not you speak German, you will be welcomed… and someone will pull you a beer.
There are MANY Styles of German Tracht
What does a German look like when they dress in Tracht? Depends on where they live in Germany… This book is an amazing look at many of the various styles worn by Germans through the years. It's more than just a dirndl…
Traditional Couture: Folkloric Heritage Costumes
If you really want to look German… learn to wear a scarf.
This set of Paper Dolls is so CUTE! I love the different styles of Tracht!

De Volkskrant (Amsterdam, Holland) noted that "Azéma is, in her genre, as great as Callas or Fischer Dieskau." Anne Azéma's singing has also been widely praised in many other repertoires, from Renaissance lute songs to Baroque sacred music to twentieth-century music theatre. Her recent appointment as director of the Boston Camerata has been described as "an inspired choice" by Musicalcritiscism.com (UK). The critic of Sandiego.com recently commented, "With the new direction of Anne Azéma, [the Camerata's] leadership in the field is not in question." and L'Union-Reims (France) praises her "charismatic leadership.'
Anne Azéma is not only the performer, but also the creator of her programs. She researches and edits the repertoire, frequently transcribing the material herself from original sources. Ms. Azéma's productions for Aziman include, The Night's Tale: A Tournament of Love, (Arsenal.Metz and Luxembourg, 2007); CD on the K 617 label, France.

In 2011, Anne Azéma and the Boston Camerata were commissioned to create five new programs of Medieval music, in celebration of the anniversary 1211-2011) of the Reims Cathedral,France: La Messe de Machaut, Portes dou Ciel, Thibaut de Champagne, Une galerie de Rois. More recently and for the Boston series, she created Patriots and Heroes (2011), The Harvest (2012), De Toutes Flors (2013), Verdant Grove (2014). She is currently at work preparing a staged version of The Play of Daniel for 2014–2015, among other projects.
Anne Azéma has been a soloist with numerous ensembles, large and small, early and contemporary. Her ongoing collaboration with the Tero Saarinen Company (Helsinki, Finland) around early American songs has been praised on three continents. She is also the co-founder of the Camerata Mediterranea, touring with them internationally and appearing on all of their Cds (Edison Prize).
The second film she was asked to participate in has received two prizes at the Montréal FIFA (March 2014). Her festival and concert series invitations as a soloist, recitalist or director include Amsterdam, Abu Dhabi, Graz, Dresden, Leipzig, Utrecht, Spoleto, Seville, Savannah, Versailles, Jerusalem, Berlin, Boston, Bergen, Ambronay, Utrecht, Casablanca, Perth, Montpellier, Wellington, Kyoto, Tanglewood, Tokyo, Trieste and Treviso.
Ms Azéma's current discography numbers over thirty-five recordings as a soloist, recitalist or director, on the Warner, Erato/Warner (Grand Prix du Disque, Edison Prize), Calliope, K 617, ATMA, Harmonia Mundi, Bridge, and Virgin labels.

Only recently did I learn what AWStats are. AWStats are a free reporting tool that analyzes traffic to a website, or blog. It records the number of visits to your site, the number of unique visitors, the "hits" and "pages" numbers and gives you charts of very detailed information about these visitors.
Since I use Bluehost as my hosting server, I find the AWStats under the "Stats/Logs" section of the CPanel. Remember to go to "Stats Manager" page and enable the stats for your site. After the stats are enabled, then click on "Web/FTP Stats" and it will give you a list of options. Click on the "Awstats" and you'll see the results of the traffic to your site. Since I have two sites, I also click on "Subdomain stats". The stats are usually updated daily.
Free Domain With $6.95 Hosting Package
I like looking at the "visits duration" section, as this tells you how long a visitor spent on your site. It tells you that you had "x" numbers of visitors, for an average of "x" s (or seconds). If you divide the seconds by 60, that will give you the average number of minutes spent on your site. If you see a high number after the "0s-30s", this indicates that a visitor probably just clicked on your site, didn't see what they were looking for, and clicked off. My goal is to reduce that number, but I haven't figured out what a good percentage would be. I'm happy to see some visitors spending more time on my site, as hopefully they are gaining some information from what I've written.
Stats are fun to see, however, at this point in time, I'm not going to get too hung up on them. Some days my stats are discouraging, but I'm not going to let them affect my attitude about blogging. After all, they're just numbers. I rate my blog on how much value I can pass onto others.

IRA dissidents out to hijack 1916 commemorations
Gardai on high alert for possible terror attack
A botched 'legacy' deal, which could have seen the IRA disappear for good, is behind the upsurge in republican terrorism which is casting a shadow over the 1916 centenary celebrations, security sources say.
Gardai and the PSNI are now on high alert for further attacks following the murder of Northern Ireland Prison Service officer and father-of-three Adrian Ismay, 52, in east Belfast.
A group which terms itself simply 'the IRA', is believed to consist of ex-Provisional IRA members who are returning to terrorism because they claim that the British and Irish governments and, they say, Sinn Fein reneged on a deal to provide an amnesty for all Troubles- relating killings.
The deal was to have been concluded as part of a bundle of issues last October, known as the Stormont House Agreement. But it is understood it collapsed largely because Sinn Fein is insisting on cases being pursued against British soldiers and police who were responsible for killings of Catholics and IRA members during the Troubles.
This issue came to a head early last year with the arrest of three of the surviving British soldiers who were present in Derry city on 'Bloody Sunday' in January 1972, when 13 Catholic civilians were shot dead after the IRA had opened fire on members of the Parachute Regiment.
The cases being pursued through the courts against the security force members have effectively curtailed any chance of an amnesty for IRA members who also committed killings. It is understood about 200 ex-Provos potentially face arrest and imprisonment over Troubles murders and other acts of violence.
The pursuit of the ex-soldiers and police over killings has effectively cut off the chances of an amnesty that many people believed had been agreed two decades ago.
Before last October's deal failed to provide for the IRA amnesty, former Provos were already warning that there could be a "return to the trenches".
Sources in the North say that there was alarm among the security forces over the ex-Provos' access to large amounts of explosives and arms which were not decommissioned in 2006 when the Provisional IRA leadership said it had "dumped arms" and that the organisation was going out of existence.
Despite the decommissioning claims being welcomed by both governments and much of the British and Irish media, the repeated instances of Semtex explosive and assault rifles being used in attacks has shown the claims that the IRA arsenal was "dumped" were a fabrication.
It is understood that a charge of around half a kilo of Semtex was used in the under-car bomb which detonated as Mr Ismay was driving from his east Belfast home two weeks ago. He succumbed to heart failure brought on by his extensive injuries last Wednesday.
There are now fears that the 'IRA' will carry out further attacks and this has caused concerns in the Garda and the PSNI over further attacks, with the heightened concerns surrounding the 1916 events.
The ex-Provos behind the latest violence are blaming Sinn Fein as much as the British and Irish governments. A source quoted in a Northern Ireland newspaper last October at the time of the Stormont House deal said that the group did not want to see prosecutions for 'historic' crimes.
The source claimed that they believed Sinn Fein was blocking any truth and reconciliation process because this could uncover the violent pasts of many of its members, including those who benefited from royal pardons around the time of the so-called decommissioning process.
One was quoted in the Belfast Live news website as saying: "We all feel we've been betrayed. They persuaded us to go along with the peace process and made promises. And none of those promises have been kept. I say this more in sorrow than anger, but either we move on or we will end up back into the trenches. Then there will be more bloodshed as the eye-for-an-eye and tooth-for-a-tooth mentality continues over the next generations."
One 'IRA' source" said: "Because of the politicians, we have been left in legal and social limbo, with no end in sight. We joined up, we were given our orders and our equipment and we did the job. I want people to know it wasn't personal. Everyone has a right to know what happened to their loved ones. But no one - not even victims - has a right to hold the future hostage.
"I want the full truth to come out at last in a way that does not lead to geriatric men and women ending their days in jail. I don't want to see 80-year-old squaddies jailed for Bloody Sunday."

text: A group of chimpanzees have been captured on camera apparently lost in grief for the death of a friend. More than a dozen apes watched in silence from their enclosure in Cameroon as the body of Dorothy, a chimp in her 40s, was wheeled past for burial. Dorothy, who died of heart failure, was described as a "prominent figure" within the group of about 25 chimps at the Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Centre. The photo was taken by 30-year-old Monica Szczupider. She was working at the centre, which cares for orphaned animals whose mothers were killed for the illegal bushmeat trade. "We were burying Dorothy," she said. "We brought her in the wheelbarrow to let the others see. "I cannot emphasise enough how silent and still they were. Chimpanzees are typically not like that. "They are loud, with short attention spans. It was unbelievably emotional. We were all struck."

Dog Potty Pads
Now that my video version of my book, 'Potty Train Your Puppy With A Litter Box – Convenient House Training For Dogs' is currently undergoing production, there will be a mention of dog potty pads in the video much like they were in the book. Since these are now readily available at many pet supply stores, I thought that it was important to mention them and what place they might have in dog litter box training.
Personally, I always bypassed the use of dog potty pads since I went from newspapers right to the dog litter box for my Lhasa Apso dogs without any problems. However, I do recognize that they are much less messy than newspapers if one is willing to spend the money on dog potty pads. They can also be used to line the bottoms of indoor potty systems for dogs.
Weigh The Costs Of Dog Potty Pads Vs Newspapers
Dog potty pads will also help protect the floors much better than newspapers and they absorb odour better but again, they do come at a cost. Newspapers are less expensive and if you use the junk papers that are often delivered to residential houses, the cost is free.
So it's a matter of weighing the costs of dog potty pads versus newspapers over time. For my system of dog litter box training which is outlined in my book and will be clearly explained as well in my upcoming video version, the use of dog potty pads is completely optional. I never used them for my dogs at all.
For some general basics on dog obedience training for your puppy, see the details for my free video at the top left sidebar of this blog and for more advanced training, see my reviews of other dog training resources.

The gorgeous diva Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was recently spotted at the book launch of her close friend, Zirak Marker's 'Parenting in the Age of Anxiety' and seen inaugurating the special event.
Dressed in a white shirt and multicoloured skirt, Aishwarya looked every bit pretty.
The Sarbjit actress was spotted in a cheerful mood and was also seen happily posing for the media.
Check Out All The Pretty Pictures Here:
As the book is based on the parenting, we believe Aishwarya was the best person to inaugurate the book launch.
Recently, in tete-a-tete with Filmfare, Aishwarya revealed what kind of life she wants for Aaradhya and here's what she told:
"I'm not here to dictate to her or choose a life for her. I'm here to be her mom in a way, which I'm discovering on a day to day basis. I just want to see her happy, healthy and grow to be a secure person. A person who is comfortable being herself."
"The way she sees the world right now, she sees Utopia. And I experience it through her eyes. It's pure, it's God-like. You see God through your child and that's what you want to experience for her, with her and through her."
Hema Malini Gets Furious As Twitteratis Troll Her For Posting Photoshoot Pics Amidst Mathura Clashes
In the same interview, when Aishwarya was asked whether she is a strict mother or not, here's what she replied:
"Years later you'll hear from her about that. There's no rule book that you walk around with. Knowingly or unknowingly you give to your child what you've imbibed and what you've been inculcated with. "
"That's what goes on from generation to generation. If it means guiding her to the best of my ability, I do. If it involves, giving her a direction, I will most definitely give that. I've received it so I will give that to her."

It was a beautiful north Florida day. Gentle sunshine. Puffy clouds. No humidity. Who wouldn't want to celebrate? Besides, our little town never misses an opportunity to rejoice. Festivals. Events. And parades. Lots of parades. Along the parade route, we found a lightly shaded low brick wall — a perfect seat for those of us who rarely remember to carry chairs.
And then these people showed up.
[Tweet "Our little town never misses an opportunity to rejoice. #loveamelia"]
As they started to walk by my husband and I smiled and said "hello." They did too. They set up their chairs beside us and we chatted a little. We talked about their involvement in Compassionate Fernandina.
A combination of "locals" and tourists continued to show up for the parade, some stopping to take their picture, others just saying "hi." A visiting couple started to walk by and came back. He spoke with a thick accent.
"We need this. We need to be together. We are all too far apart." He asked to take a picture. Then he spotted our new friend's hat.
"Korea?" He nodded.
"Me too," as he moved in for a hug.
For the next several minutes we talked about the island and their visit. Then talk turned to the Steelers. That's right. Four of the six new friends chatting had lived in Pittsburgh.
"The Steelers won!" he said, beaming.
The parade had made the turn and was headed our way. The six of us moved to the curb to watch. Mr. Sang asked me why the town was hosting a parade and I told him it was in honor of Dr. King's birthday.
[Tweet "Be assured: #love really is the only force that matters."]
"This is so great!" he said before jumping into the street to capture unobstructed photos of every single marcher.
We went our separate ways reassured that love really is the only force that matters.
9 Responses to "Friends and Force"
I'm so happy to hear about strangers coming together to close the gap that is widening quickly between so many Americans. Lovely story! And…I lived in Pittsburgh & am a Steelers fan as well! 😊
I love this Andrea and your beautiful story of the power of community that reinforces that love is the only force that really matters!

This is a simple post.
Do you have moments you live for or moments when you quietly think, "Ahhh, this is life"?
It is just you and me and the sunshine streaming into your nursery window. We rock. I hum and feed you your morning bottle. After a burp, the binkie goes in and I turn some Avett Brothers music on. Wrap you tightly, pull you close, and we rock some more. Every now and then your eyes lock with mine and they light up and you smile so softly as I sing you the words. Once you fall asleep in my arms the whole world feels so incredibly peaceful. The house is absolutely still and quiet except for our music and rocking.
This is my moment.
I have come to realize that I work hard all week for this very moment. My weekdays are countdowns to my weekends at home with you. If I could imagine what heaven would feel like, this is it.
This is my moment and it is always with you.
Do you have a favorite moment that you live for? A simple moment that matters the most. Share in the comments below!

Persuasive Essay: The Impact O Essay, Research Paper
Monkey see, monkey do has become a well-known saying in today s society, but is it correct? Just sixty years ago the invention of the television was viewed as a technological curiosity with black and white ghost-like figures on a screen so small hardly anyone could see them. Today that curiosity has become a constant companion to many, mainly children. From reporting the news and persuading us to buy certain products, to providing programs that depict violence, television has all but replaced written material. Unfortunately, it is these violent programs that are endangering our present-day society.
Violent images on television, as well as in the movies, have inspired people to set spouses on fire in their beds, lie down in the middle of highways, extort money by placing bombs in airplanes, rape, steal, murder, and commit numerous other shootings and assaults. Over 1,000 case studies have proven that media violence can have negative affects on children as well. It increases aggressiveness and anti-social behavior, makes them less sensitive to violence and to victims of violence, and it increases their appetite for more violence in entertainment and in real life. Media violence is especially damaging to young children because they cannot tell the difference between real life and fantasy. Violent images on television and in movies may seem real to these children and sometimes viewing these images can even traumatize them.
Despite the negative effects media violence has been known to generate, no drastic changes have been made to deal with this problem that seems to be getting worse. We, as a whole, have glorified this violence so much that movies such as Natural Born Killers and television shows such as Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are viewed as normal, everyday entertainment. It s even rare now to find a children s cartoon that does not depict some type of violence or comedic aggression. What we do not realize though, is that it is the children that are ending up with problems. Unlike most rational, educated adults, many children are gradually beginning to accept violence as a way to solve problems and are imitating what they observe on television. These children do not understand that the violence is shown strictly because the public wants to see it. They cannot grasp the meaning of ratings and entertainment as well as adults can. All they know is, if the TV portrays violence as cool, then it must be cool!
The problem isn t the violence in the media though; it is the media s failure to show the consequences of violence. This is especially true of cartoons, toy commercials, and music videos. Children often do not realize that it hurts to hit someone else because they see it all the time on TV. Everyday a cartoon character is beat up, injured, or killed, only to return in the very next episode, good as new. As a result, children learn that there are few, if any repercussions for committing violent acts.
Unfortunately, as long as there is an extremely high public demand for violent shows and movies, the media is going to continue on the same path. And because it looks as though the violence craze is going to continue for some time, we need to be dependent on parents to reduce the effect that media violence has on children, which can be done in so many different ways.
First, parents should limit the amount of television children watch per day from the average 3 to 4 hours, which is double the amount of recommended hours, to 1 to 2 hours. Children are exposed to far too much violence every day on TV, mainly because parents see the TV as a convenient babysitter. By limiting the amount of time spent in front of the tube, parents will compel their children to do something more productive like reading a book or playing outside. In limiting TV time, parents also need to monitor what programs their children are watching and restrict the viewing of violent programs. Just because a child is not watching as much violence, does not mean he or she still can t be influenced by it.
Parents should also make a greater effort to better develop their children s media literacy skills. They need to help children to distinguish between fantasy and reality. Without proper instruction, children often have a hard time drawing the line between what is real and what is make-believe. With this education, parents should teach their children that real-life violence has consequences, in that pain is real and death is permanent. They need to understand that weapons and other acts of violence can inflict serious and life-long injuries. This education can be done simply by watching television with children and discussing the violent acts and images that are portrayed. They should ask children to think about what would happen in real life if the same type of violent act were committed. Would anyone die or go to jail? Would anyone be sad? Would the violence solve problems or create them? Just asking children how they feel after watching a violent TV show, movie, or music video is enough to move them from their innocent dream world into reality.
Finally the easiest and most simple way to keep children away from excessive media violence is to teach them alternatives to violence. Parents should not be so quick to let their children plop down in front of a TV set. They should interest their children with something much more productive and exciting to do. However this task is completed, it is important for children to be given the proper support in dealing with issues of violence. If not, they could end up like one of the thousands of criminals sent to prisons and on death row for mindless and unnecessary acts of violence.
We are bombarded continually with images of violence, brutality, and sexual immortality. When children, teen-agers, and adults all mindlessly automatically imitate and follow the leader, it is hard to believe that there are so many non-aggressive and non-violent people in the world. The reason for this is education. We, as a humane society, learn in the early years of our life that violence is wrong. It is important for this education to continue with each passing generation. Mass media can have a very negative effect on children, but with the support of parents and a little control, the television can be turned into a beneficial tool rather than negative impact.

Happy New Year and by way of a small token of gratitude for your support over the last year any order placed during January for more than £15 will receive the French Artillery Officer for free. As you can see whilst I list him as French he could be painted as almost anything.
A little ahead of time there's the first of the next years new releases available now.
First up is a mounted British General in stock and available now this is the first of what will be a nimber of Generals and ADC's.
There are also available to pre.order two packs of Generic Militia figures in short coats – four different figures two in tricorn and two in broad hats. I intend to use these for my Georgia Milita for 'Jenkins Ear' but equally serviceable for the AWI.
Lot's more to come hopefully in February.
I shall be attending the Kirriemuir show on the 11th November and Battleground at Stockton on the 25th November as always I advise you to pre.order to avoid disappointment.
By way of incentive if you e.mail me an order for collection at the show over £30 I shall invoice you for paypal payment but apply a 12.5% discount.
Also note I will not be carrying the Fife and Drum range with me to the shows ( not enough room) so these should be pre.ordered.
So remember just e.mail what you want and I will take it from there.
The new Mounted early French Hussars and command together with their dismounted versions are now in stock and available.
In addition two mounted British Officers and two mounted French Officers are also listed so those infantry units can now have their mounted Officers.
Coming soon Mule train and Savoia Mountain gun
The new figures arrived from Griffin today outstanding orders will go out shortly .
The first of the forthcoming new releases are available to pre.order in the shop.
British Horse ( Command and Trooper) French dragoon in forage cap, Early French Hussar, French artillery crew and the Savoia mounted Officers. All should be with me in two to three weeks.
Any questions or problems don't hesitate to contact me
Many will know that my Mam died on the 15th April so I apologise for being behind on a few things.
First I'm trading at Falkirk on the 13th May so there's a 10% discount coupon on all orders for collection at the show just spend £30 or more and enter Falkirk2017 when asked for coupon code.
I'm also at Partizan on the 21st May – I'm putting a demo game on with my figures but if you want any figures for collection then just enter Partizan17 at checkout and the order will be post free and I will bring it along to the show for you.
The Savoia Cavalry command is available to pre.order and I hope to list the Minden Russian cannon on the site this week
I've had a number of inquiries asking if I will be stocking the Russian artillery, Jim has given me permission to do so. An order has been placed and I should have stock in time for Salute. Therefore I will not be adding them to the site until after Salute.
If anyone wants to place an order for them for collection at the show then e.mail me and I will arrange collection etc.
Crann Tara will be at Salute on Stand TK04.
There is a pre.order coupon for use up until 15th April, just spend more than £40 on products for collection at the show and enter Salute2017 at check out to receive 12.5% discount on the order.
you can use the coupon once only but customers can use as many coupons as they wish.
The offer doesn't apply to regimental,or brigade pack deals.
It helps greatly if customers pre.order as it avoids disappointment on the day of stock running out.
See you there
