Carabin Shaw was founded over 31 years ago to fight for the rights of law victims of auto accidents, trucking accidents, 18- wheeler accidents, motorcycle accidents, worksite accidents and other losses. Our Offices are here in San Antonio and across Texas. With over 200 years of combined experience in personal injury law and a commitment to a higher level of service. We are dedicated exclusively to advocating for the rights of individuals injured or wrongfully killed in accidents. We stand up for victims against insurance companies and responsible parties. Our lawyers are mostly in San Antonio with branch offices across the State of Texas. We work hard to not only win your case, but to keep our clients updated and involved throughout the representation. Our Firm works with the best and brightest doctors and medical experts in the medical arena, and we are able to send our clients to them so that our clients receive the best possible treatment for their personal injuries. We provide free consultations to anyone in need of legal advice, and if we cannot help a potential caller, we will take steps to find someone who can. Carabin Shaw aggressively represents victims of auto accidents, trucking accidents, 18- wheeler accidents, worksite accidents, wrongful deaths and other injuries.
Our Law Firm has even long realized that individuals injured and their loved ones face challenging and numerous obstacles after an accident, outside the legal process. This adds to a stressful situation and can affect the healing process after any accident. We also realize that extra effort in listening with an ear to solving problems can further assist the client. With years of experience and our deep understanding of the complications that can follow an accident, we stand ready to help our clients find solutions to the challenges and obstacles that can arise after a serious accident. For example, we can try to find ways to secure surgery funding if our client does not have health insurance. Or if a client is in need of a rental car to get to and from work after being involved in a car wreck, we can help. If our client is displaced from work because of an accident or an injury we can try to find the client emergency financial support for their living expenses while the case is pending.
Additionally, if you ever want to meet with the owner of the Law Firm, Mr. Jamie Shaw, all you need to do is ask. While some other attorneys refuse to meet with their clients until the end of the case, if ever actually meeting their clients, the Carabin Shaw Law Firm is different. If at any time, you want to discuss your case or have concerns about your case, just ask to meet with the Law Firm's Founder, Jamie Shaw and a meeting will be immediately scheduled.
In Texas, all drivers and all vehicles are mandated to have car insurance. The purpose of auto insurance is to pay for any and all damages, this includes, but is not limited to, medical billings in the past and future, pain and suffering, mental anguish, lost wages, property damages and more. If you or a loved one is injured in a serious auto accident, you need an experienced auto accident attorney on your side. Everyday auto accidents occur as a result of distracted drivers, drivers that fail to yield at intersections, drivers that text while driving, drivers that get behind the wheel while intoxicated, drivers that fall asleep behind the wheel, and those who fail to take weather conditions into account.
Due to the size and weight of large trucks and 18-wheelers, trucking accidents often lead to catastrophic injuries to individuals that are driving or riding in smaller passenger vehicles. In many cases, these collisions result from a truck driver's carelessness or negligence. Our San Antonio personal injury lawyers can help you hold a careless trucker accountable and responsible for the crash. Truck drivers must not only follow rules of the road but also obey special rules developed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and Texas regulatory authorities. In some cases, you can hold a truck driver negligent per se (negligent as a matter of law) if they violated a regulation.
Motorcyclists face a risk of especially serious injuries after an accident. Unfortunately, many drivers of cars and trucks do not understand that motorcyclists have the same rights and privileges as other drivers of larger vehicles on the road. If another driver struck you while you were riding your motorcycle, you should consult with one of our San Antonio personal injury attorneys. Often, insurers will try to find ways in which an accident was the fault of a motorcyclist in an attempt to lessen the value of the case. Our motorcycle accident lawyers know how to fight back against these allegations and make sure that liability stays where it belongs.
If you are injured by a company vehicle, also known as a commercial vehicle, you may be able to recover damages from the employer of the driver and/or the owner of the vehicle, when a commercial vehicle or company vehicle accident occurs. An employer or the owner of the company vehicle can be held liable for the driver or the employee's negligence in the course and scope of employment, whether or not the company acted carelessly. A trucking company also owes certain duties to people on the road and can be held directly liable for negligence as well. For example, a trucking company should perform background checks on its drivers and review their logbooks regularly to make sure that they are accurate and reflect an adherence to regulations. When a failure to do so results in injuries to others on the road, our Commercial Truck Accident Attorneys can help you bring a claim against the company for negligent hiring, negligent training, or negligent supervision.
Texas defines a wrongful death as a death that occurs due to the wrongful act, neglect, unskillfulness, carelessness, or default of somebody else. If your loved one is killed in an accident in San Antonio or elsewhere, our personal injury lawyers may be able to help you recover compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit. This is a civil case and is completely separate from any criminal action that may also be pursued by the state. A surviving spouse, child or parent of the individual wrongfully killed is permitted to file a wrongful death case, either as individuals or as a family. If not an immediate family member, you are still allowed to bring a survivorship cause of action for and through the decedent's estate.
Workplace injuries can be complicated. If the employer carries Workers Compensation Insurance coverage then a claimant must file a workers' compensation claim under the Texas Workers' Compensation Act. This may not be the injured victim's only option. You may also have a third-party case against the individual or company, other than the employer, that caused the accident. Additionally, if the employer does not have workers' compensation coverage, then the employer may be sued like any other defendant for its negligence. In many situations, there are multiple negligent parties, going beyond the claimant's employer. On a construction site, for example, an injury may be the combined fault of an employer, subcontractor, supplier, contractor, and developer. An experienced personal injury lawyer in San Antonio or elsewhere in Texas can investigate a worksite accident to determine if the negligence of one or more non-employers caused the accident, and if the victim can hold one or more of these parties accountable in a lawsuit.
We represent clients in cases involving catastrophic injuries inflicted through the fault of another party. Catastrophic injuries include brain damage, spinal cord damage, burns, disfigurement, complex fractures, crushing injuries, amputations, and more. It is especially important to retain an experienced attorney for cases involving catastrophic injuries because these are injuries that may necessitate lifelong care, multiple surgeries, and long-term rehabilitation and treatment. In some cases, the accident victim is no longer able to work, just when they most need income to cover substantial medical expenses. Damages that may be recovered include lost wages, lost earning capacity, medical expenses, therapy, pain and suffering, mental anguish, household services, and loss of consortium, among others.
Our Law Firm also has 12 additional attorneys who are affiliated with our Firm on non- personal injury matters. These attorneys help clients and callers with the same FIRST VISIT FREE understanding, fair terms and reduced fees. We can provide free consultations on matters involving immigration law, family law, divorce law, criminal law, DWI law, bankruptcy law, credit card lawsuit defense, wills and estates, workers' compensation law, Social Security law, employment law, wrongful termination, discrimination, child support issues, expungements, and elder law.
At Carabin Shaw, we are vigilant in protecting the rights and interests of our clients. Our phone lines and live chat are answered and active 24/7. We can complete new case intake paperwork in person at a client's home or hospital room, or online via the client's smart phone or at any one of our Offices. We provide contingency fee agreements, in which we cover case expenses up front, and we are only paid when we secure a settlement or jury verdict award. Our Firm can organize and provide transportation to area medical providers.

Health care debt in the U.S. is now so big, it has hit more than half of all adults. That's according to a new investigation by Kaiser Health News and NPR. The investigation also looked at the toll this debt takes, how it forces tens of millions of people to make painful sacrifices to deal with their medical and dental bills. Joining me now, Noam Levey with Kaiser Health News. Hey there.
NOAM LEVEY: Hi.
KELLY: All right. So give me more of a sense just of the scale of this debt. I said it is so big. How big are we talking?
LEVEY: Well, really, really big. Altogether, about 100 million people in this country currently have some kind of health care debt. That's from a nationwide poll we did with our team at KFF, the Kaiser Family Foundation. So this isn't just people with medical bills in collections. It's people using credit cards, payment plans and other loans to pay for health care. So it's a lot of debt. Now, you know, I think it's important to know the problem would be a lot worse without the Affordable Care Act, which provided millions of people with insurance. But the law didn't slow the growth of high deductible health plans, which have really helped fuel this debt crisis.
KELLY: Yeah. And what does that look like just on an individual level? Tell me a story.
LEVEY: I mean, it's heartbreaking. I can't tell you, Mary Louise, how much suffering there is out there. I've talked to people who have lost their homes, who've had to cut back on food, drain retirement accounts, put off their education plans. One family that really stuck with me are the Bucks. Ariane and Samantha Buck live just outside Phoenix. They have three kids. They work but don't have a lot of money. And they've had their share of medical challenges, several trips to the E.R. over the years - her for ovarian cysts and him for an intestinal infection. One of their kids is autistic. And they say it's all added up to about $50,000 in debt. And that's led to a lot of scrimping. Ariane says that's been really hard on the kids.
ARIANE BUCK: They want to go to the mall. They want to go to, just on trips to, like, Sedona or Flagstaff and day trips. But even that little bit of extra money is just too much. We just don't have it.
LEVEY: And if they go out, it's usually just for fast food. Ariane said they sometimes go without school supplies. They rely on family for Christmas gifts.
BUCK: Makes you feel like a failure, like I'm not giving my kids the best life possible. I mean, the best I can do for them is just put a roof over their head.
KELLY: Wow, that's hard. How many people have you spoken to who are facing choices like the Bucks?
LEVEY: Well, our poll found that more than half of Americans with health care debt said they have had to make a difficult sacrifice. And we're not just talking about low-income Americans here. I talked to a mother in Chicago, solidly middle class. She's a nurse, had to take on double shifts after her twins were born prematurely to pay down $80,000 in debt. You know, even small debts can cause problems. I talked to a medical student in Texas who was harassed by debt collectors for years over a $131 bill, which was for an exam she got after being sexually assaulted.
KELLY: Oh, gosh. Yeah. OK.
LEVEY: Yeah, it's bad. And, you know, another perverse impact of this debt is that it's actually blocking patients from getting care. We found about 1 in 7 say they've been turned away from a doctor or hospital or other provider because they owe money. This happened to Ariane Buck, too. He came down with a really bad stomach bug a few years ago.
BUCK: I wasn't able to keep anything down. I wasn't able to use the bathroom properly. And I tried to call my own doctor that I had at the time to go see him. However, when I called to make the appointment, I was denied due to me owing them less than $100, actually.
LEVEY: He ended up having to go to the emergency room and thankfully recovered, but the visit meant thousands of dollars in bills. And, you know, the whole experience left the Bucks feeling pretty disillusioned.
BUCK: I see other countries, and I see what their health insurance is. And it's, like, they don't have as much of an issue when it comes to that. And it's just like, that's just not right. Everyone should at least be able to get to a doctor when they feel ill.
LEVEY: And, sadly, that's a sentiment I heard again and again across this country.
KELLY: OK. Thanks for your reporting.
LEVEY: Thank you.
KELLY: That is Noam Levey. And NPR's ongoing investigation into medical debt is in partnership with Kaiser Health News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

This is a good thing, a beautiful thing even, for it means that many are spending time focusing on the holidays and taking a much needed breather - if only for a day or two - from the web. It's not going anywhere, but before we can blink the holidays will be over again, so it's worth enjoying a momentary pause in the name of Christmas this week.
Of course I'm not saying that you shouldn't post today or tomorrow, by all means do so, if you like, I'm just remarking on how I always sense a very brief lull in the general amount of blogging activity in general between about the 22nd and 27th of December (and then to a lesser extent right around, and on, New Year's Day). I won't be posting tomorrow myself either, but will be back bright and early on Boxing Day morn.
Like many, I adore, cherish and revere Christmas. Its bright-eyed wonder, hopeful promises, and gentle elegance is unlike any other time of the year. I've had a terrific December, full of all the very best things that the month of Christmas should contain, and am excited beyond words to celebrate tomorrow with my nearest and dearest.
It is my wish to all of you, wherever in this vast, amazing world of ours that you live, that tomorrow abounds with joy and good cheer, laughter and merriment, gifts both of the heart and of the kind that come wrapped in a pretty bow, more food than you could ever begin to eat in one sitting, hugs from those you see rarely, smiles shared under the glistening holiday lights, a childlike sense of wonder, old memories to reminisce about and new ones to recall fondly for the rest of your days.
And, if only in spirit, as Bing first sung all the years ago, may all your Christmases be white.

Grand Escapades' Travel Guide To Zimbabwe – Self Drive Safari Through One Of Africa's Hidden Gems
Itinerary And Time Of The Visit
In July 2012, after travelling 5.700 kilometers in three weeks in cars, boats and even a canoe, we got a bit of a feel what Zimbabwe is like, at least from a tourist's perspective… Nevertheless, this country is so large and has so much to offer, both On and Off The Beaten Track that we actually feel we only scratched the surface!

Camping in the Wilderness…
Camping in Zimbabwe's national parks gets you as close to nature, the wilderness and animals as you can possibly be. Sometimes frighteningly close! The sounds and noises made by feeding animals all night in "Wilderness Camps" often gave us goose pimples, but pleasant one.
Wilderness campsites in Hwange National Park and Mana Pools National Park are in high demand and hard to get in. Only a very limited number of cars, one to four, are allowed in each, guaranteeing the upmost privacy and quietness. Especially in Mana Pools, do not expect to show up and find a place. Very different are Matobo & Gonarezhou National Park, which we had more or less to ourselves. Continue Reading →
Driving along the Mozambique Border
Mutare was the place where our trio was to part. Heidi and Jason continued into Mozambique and Gilles drove straight down to Johannesburg / South Africa to fly home. Somebody has to work… But first we had to get to Mutare. From Gonarezhou National Park we followed the road running parallel to a mountain range forming the border between Zimbabwe and Mozambique. Here Zimbabwe seemed the most traditional and the most scenic. The hilly scenery was a pleasant change to the large stretches of flat countryside in other parts of the country. But the reason why Gilles did those extra miles driving further north was to bring Jason and Heidi as close to the border as possible. And that was Mutare. Continue Reading →
Gonarezhou – Alone Under the Cliffs
Slumped in our camping chairs, right in front of us Chilojo Cliffs were glowing red and golden, painted by the setting sun. And the best of all, we had them all to ourselves! Actually, we had the entire park to ourselves…
A quick look into the registration book at the gate revealed that nobody else had entered the park that day. We could pick any camping site we wanted, the ranger said. Naturally we set up camp at a prime location, at the Wilderness Camp Site facing the cliffs, right on the Runde River. During the dry season, the river is reduced to a small ribbon, exposing wide sandy banks. Continue Reading →
Houses of Stone – Great Zimbabwe
Great Zimbabwe is the largest stone structure ever built south of the Sahara. In its heydays (between the 11th and 14th century) it served as the royal residence of an empire that reached from Botswana to the coast. Trading gold and ivory for clothes, beads and ceramics with far away places like India, Arabia and China made the city rich. Continue Reading →
Volunteering in Africa
Volunteering has become a fast growing industry, a very profitable business fed by well-meaning people, who for various reasons devote some time of their life to helping others. Africa seems to be predestined for such endeavors. During our many trips we learned that the continent is swarming with volunteers, working at schools, villages, game reserves, hospitals, with blind people, handicapped people, you name it! Most of them are young, spending anytime from a day to a year for a good cause. Continue Reading →
Elephants' Training & Riding
Having already spent 85 USD per person on the lion walk the day before and being happy that the sun was out, we felt like what the heck, let's splurge again! Elephant training was on the agenda, for only 20 USD. This included elephants performing all kinds of tricks (lifting their legs, kneeling down, kicking a ball) and putting up with us. Hopefully they did not mind us sitting on their legs, on top of them, grabbing their trunk, touching their rough skin and taking photos as if there is no tomorrow. The only thing that irritated us was that one foot of each elephant was tied down with a chain. What looked like a precaution still felt funny. Continue Reading →
Walking with Lions
Antelope Park, a game reserve with a resort-like touch, offers something very, very unique: a "Walk with Lions"! Expecting cubs, as promoted on the website, we were rather surprised to find two large lionesses lying in the grass. The trainers introduced them as 20 months old cubs (!) A bit embarrassed by their slackness the trainers explained, "They had just been fed and are a bit lazy". Trying to make the lions rise, they pocked them with wooden sticks, which only triggered repeated yawning, revealing a set of mighty teeth. With the powerful fangs clearly visible, we certainly did not mind the big cats being lazy and sleepy! Continue Reading →

"When Ashley was two years old, she was nonverbal, ate only two or three types of food, and cried a lot out of frustration," said Dana, Ashley's mother.
Ashley started receiving Applied Behavior Analysis therapy at the Brent Woodall Foundation for Exceptional Children, a charitable nonprofit dedicated to empowering families of children with autism and other developmental disabilities, when she was just two years old and unable to look anyone in the eye, communicate what she wanted, or play with her sibling. Ashley began in the Intensive Intervention Program, through which she received at least 15 hours of one-to-one Applied Behavior Analysis therapy per week. Ashley's parents and the behavior analysts at the Foundation worked together to create a customized education plan to help Ashley reach her fullest potential.
"By the time Ashley graduated, we knew she would be ready for Kindergarten. She now speaks in full sentences, she is a very happy child, and although she is still picky about her food choices, she eats about everything most children her age eat," said Dana.
A year and half after graduating from the Brent Woodall Foundation, Ashley just finished her kindergarten year as an exceptional six-year-old student in an all-inclusive classroom. "She made wonderful grades and her teachers raved about her," chimed Dana.
Ashley also just wrapped up her second season playing basketball for the Coppell YMCA. The skills Ashley developed in the one-to-one therapy and social skills groups at the Brent Woodall Foundation played a key part in helping Ashley learn to share, take turns, and be a team member.
Dana recollected on her favorite moment of the season. "The timer went off and Ashley didn't realize it. She ran with the ball all the way down the court and scored! All of the other young players were confused, but the parents cheered loudly for her."
One of Ashley's favorite events of the Brent Woodall Foundation was the annual Walkabout for Autism, a fundraising event that allows the Foundation to offer families like Dana and Ashley's the therapy and training they need to change their lives for little to no cost.
"We have gone to the Walkabout every year that we can," said Dana. Here children enjoy the games, face painting, and bounce house and Dana enjoys the raffle prizes as well as the friendships she developed with the other parents and staff at the Foundation.
"We go to give back to the hard workers at the Brent Woodall Foundation, who helped my Ashley on the road to recovery from autism."
Pictured above: Ashley and her sister at a past Walkabout.

Kingston, Ontario, Canada
Fort Henry National Historic Site of CanadaFort HenryFort Henry
1832/01/01 to 1840/01/01
Fort Henry National Historic Site of Canada is a 19th-century British military fortress situated on Point Henry between the mouth of Kingston harbour and a second natural harbour at the mouth of the Cataraqui River. It sits high on a natural cliff facing the confluence of the eastern end of Lake Ontario with the beginning of the St. Lawrence River. The designation refers to the fort, its redoubt, advanced battery, the former ''dead zone'' to the north and east, and the associated cultural resources found thereon.
Fort Henry has been commemorated as a national historic site of Canada because:- of the fortification built on Point Henry beginning in 1832 for the defence of the Rideau Canal and the Naval Dockyard, and- this site was the key fortification among a series of military works designed to defend Kingston and its harbour.
Construction of Fort Henry by the British military began in 1832, with the addition of ditch towers and commissariat casemates in 1840 to create its present configuration. The fort was garrisoned by units of the British Army until 1870, and then by Canadian forces. Although Fort Henry has never seen military action, it was used as a prison for combatants captured during the 1837-38 Rebellions and again during the first and Second World Wars. During the 20th century it was restored and interpreted for public visitation. Originally designated a national historic site of Canada in 1923, the fort also was designated part of the broader Kingston Fortifications National Historic Site of Canada in 1989.
The heritage value of this site is most critically represented by the surviving massing, form and fabric of the fort including the advanced battery, the redoubt and the glacis, as well as by its sense of scale and purpose. Sources: Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, Minutes, 1981; Commemorative Integrity Statement, Fort Henry, 1996; Commemorative Integrity Statement, Kingston Fortifications, 1999.
Elements key to the heritage value of this site include:
- its elevated site at the confluence of major 19th-century shipping channels (Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, Lake Ontario and the Rideau Canal);- its strategic position between two harbours critical to securing the Kingston area (the Kingston harbour and the natural harbour at the mouth of the Cataraqui River);- its symmetrical footprint which conveys a sense of enclosure; - its generous scale and substantial stone construction materials;- surviving elements of the original fortification, including the design, form and materials of the built and landscaped components; - surviving elements of its evolved design including the ditch towers and commissariat stores;- the skilled workmanship evident in its masonry work and assembly;- surviving original interior layouts, fittings and finishings (including door hardware, flooring);- surviving infrastructure details (such as cisterns, drains, masonry gutters);- the integrity of associated buildings not connected to its walls (including two gun sheds, a barracks' store, the hospital guardhouse) in the surviving original design, forms, materials, and intheir locations and functional orientation in relation to each other and the fortification proper;- archaeological evidence of other facilities within the fortification compound (such as the ordnance and engineer's yard, the former hospital, the magazine and officer's quarters dating from 1812, the wharf cribs on the shoreline south of the west branch tower) in their found location, footprints, remnant materials, and their strategic and functional location in relation to the Fort's buildings and fortifications, in particular the physical and associative relationship of the guardhouse to the former hospital building;- the fort's strategic, functional, design and material relationships with other parts of the Kingston fortifications (i.e. Fort Frederick and the Martello Towers);- viewscapes which reinforce the concept of inter-connecting fields of fire - east across Deadman's Bay to Cartwright Point, west to Navy Bay, Fort Frederick and the site of the former dockyard then across the mouth of the Cataraqui to Kingston's harbour and the Shoal Tower, south from the advanced battery to the north channel and the entrance to the harbour, north from the redoubt to the heights of land as far as Barriefield;- cleared/open ground surrounding the site;- the inter-relationship of the glacis with natural features surrounding the site (its profile and the need for a retaining wall on the north and along the shore of Deadman's Bay);- the integrity of the boundary shorelines of Deadman's Bay and Navy Bay;- historic routes and pathways (the access route to the west gate, the pathway to the swale) in their locations and extent;- unobstructed viewplanes looking south from the entrance road up to the compound and the fortification;- associated objects from the 1832-1870 period (including ordnance, gun carriages, gun platforms, munitions, ordnance implements, archaeological artifacts, personal items and furnishings, military manuals, books, diaries, plans, watercolours and sketches).

Performance Long Sleeve Jersey - Aubergine
Remember that feeling of being one with your bike? Well, your gear can help you feel so comfortable that you can enjoy your "flow state."
And we love the aubergine / deep purple color of our summer jersey so much that have decided to make it in a long-sleeved version.
It's the perfect super chic garment for a transition season, with the same amazing quality fabric of any Performance Summer Jersey or Performance Long Sleeve graphite version.
The long-sleeved Performance Jersey is the close cousin of the Summer Jersey, it's designed with a comfortable race fit to contour our body without having to gasp for air.
It's a great companion for fall and spring riding as it's flexible enough to be layered up (think for example of a windproof base layer) or down (a summer base layer) as you like or the conditions allow.
Alternatively, when winter kicks in, it's a fantastic mid-layer to aid warmth in between your base layer and your winter jacket or shell.
It's in a 2-fabrics construction: front, back, and sides in one of the best premium dyed fabrics on the market (same as the Summer Jersey's) hence is light, crisp & opaque; navy blue sleeve inserts are in a soft and slightly brushed fabric (on the inside) to provide a bit of warmth; pockets are in the same aubergine jersey fabric to add a protective layer to your lower back.
The Performance Long Sleeve Jersey is a super versatile premium item that well complements your cycling wardrobe.

I love the delicate pale lilac flowers and maroon-purple leaves.
If you ask the seller in Malaysia, they'll tell you that it is called the "Butterfly Plant".
Synonym: Oxalis regnellii 'Atropurpurea'
Family: Oxalidaceae
Category: Perennial herbaceous plant
Origin: Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay
It should be grown in partial sun on free-draining soil. Propagation is by division of plants and bulbs. The plant may go through a dormant period. You can unearth the bulbs, cut the side-bulbs and replant them.
"Sleeping leaves" at 8:30pm (Picture updated on 8 May 2012) |
The formation of the leaflets look like 3 butterflies facing each other. I used to be confused with another Red Butterfly Wing plant, Christia vespertilionis which has has quite similar leaf colour and patterns. However, the leaves are arranged in pairs and the flowers are very different.

AHS International – The Vertical Flight Technical Society – has concluded a very successful 70th Annual Forum and Technology Display. The AHS Annual Forum is the world's oldest and largest technology conference, with a unique program of technical presentations, innovative discussions, exhibits and awards presentations.
This year's Forum included a record-setting number of technical papers – 260 – with the total number of presentations close to 300. "The First Annual Forum was held in Philadelphia on April 3, 1945. Over the past 70 years, the Forum has expanded to three days of technical papers and presentations, plus a full day of educational activities, resulting in 6,000 papers just from the Forum alone," said AHS International Executive Director Mike Hirschberg. "We have created an incredible body of knowledge that we are now proud to have available online."
Held at the Palais des congrès de Montréal May 20-22 with the theme, "Celebrating International Cooperation in Vertical Flight Technology," the Forum also saw a much greater number of international participants, with nearly 50% of attendees from outside the United States (including 30% from Canada). This was the fourth time the Annual Forum has been held in Montréal in the past 15 years, leveraging the high tech aerospace companies in the area.
"For 70 years, the Annual Forum has provided an unequalled opportunity for representatives from different government, industry and academic organizations from around the world to work together to tackle the toughest challenges in vertical flight," said Mr. Hirschberg. "We look forward to doing so again at our 71st Annual Forum next May in Virginia Beach."
Forum 70 drew more than 1,150 registrants from 21 countries, as well as cutting edge exhibits from 67 exhibitors as part of the Technology Display. This year's event included the panel discussions among CEOs and senior executives of leading rotorcraft manufacturers and suppliers, and briefings from U.S. and Canadian government vertical flight leaders. This year's CEO Panel included top executives from AgustaWestland, Airbus Helicopters, Bell Helicopter, The Boeing Company, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, and Sikorsky Aircraft – half of the panelists came from outside of North America.
The lead-up to Forum 70 included several educational events on May 19. Short courses were held on rotorcraft technology, and understanding the aerodynamics of helicopter accidents. Participants also had the opportunity to tour the state-of-the-art facilities of nearby CAE and Bell Helicopter Canada. In addition, more than $6,000 in prizes was awarded in the 2nd Annual Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) Student Challenge, which pitted student-researcher teams in an extremely challenging fly-off. The University of Maryland Dolphin team was the sole winner of the manually/remotely-executed challenge and received a $2,500 prize. An honorable mention award of $625 went to North Dakota State University for partial completion in the Manual category. Unfortunately, no team was successful in the Autonomous category. Honorable mention awards of $2,000 went to Penn State University and $1,000 to Georgia Tech for partial completion of requirements in the Autonomous category. This was an extremely challenging competition created specifically to encourage hands-on engineering and problem solving, as well as introducing students to the development of autonomous flight control for vertical flight systems. The Society seeks to develop the skills for the next generation of vertical flight engineers, scientists and leaders.
At the 70th Annual Grand Awards Banquet on May 21, AHS International honored vertical flight leaders, presenting 22 awards, plus seven honorary and technical fellowships for technological and industry advancements. Pilots and crews representing helicopter and tiltrotor rescues in India, Ireland and the Philippines were honored for their incredible skills and bravery. The Indian High Commissioner to Canada attended from Ottawa, honoring the civil and military helicopter crews who airlifted more than 20,000 people and delivered over 500 tons of aid after horrific flooding in the Himalayas last summer. In addition, $45,000 in scholarships was presented to 19 of the world's most talented and deserving engineering students as part of this year's Vertical Flight Foundation (VFF) scholarship program. Details on the Society's award winners and scholarship recipients are available at www.vtol.org/press-releases. Go to www.vtol.org/news/forum-70 for Forum 70 photos.
AHS International's 71st Annual Forum and Technology Display will be held May 5-7, 2014 at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA. Details will be made available at www.vtol.org/forum.
AHS International was founded in 1943 as the American Helicopter Society, before a single production American helicopter had been built. Today, AHS International – The Vertical Flight Technical Society – has 6,500 members in more than 40 countries and is the world's leading technical society dedicated to the advancement of vertical flight technology and its applications.

To help campaign workers in Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign to keep their eye on the ball, to stay focused on the public's top concern, Clinton campaign manager James Carville coined the phrase "It's the economy, stupid."
Carville was right. As is precisely the case today, the centrality of economic issues was paramount in 1992.
Under incumbent Republican President George H. W. Bush, the U.S. unemployment rate had increased from 5.6 percent in 1990 to 6.8 percent in 1991 and 7.5 percent in 1992.
Failing on another key economic issue, Bush had reneged on his well-known 1988 campaign pledge to refrain from raising taxes.
Further adding to the primacy of economic issues in the 1992 presidential election, third party candidate Ross Perot focused his campaign on federal budget deficits, the U.S. trade imbalance, and the national debt.
Today, it's still "the economy, stupid" with the federal debt now at $17 trillion, up from $4 trillion in 1992, and the economy stuck in a record-breaking slow recovery with an official unemployment rate of 7.6 percent in May, up from 7.5 percent in April.
Moreover, the 7.6 percent jobless rate doesn't include the roughly 800,000 unemployed people officially labeled as "discouraged workers," or the million-plus jobless workers classified as "marginally attached" to the labor force, or the 8 million partially jobless workers who are working only part-time but looking for full-time employment.
Add these "discouraged workers," the "involuntary part-timers," and the "marginally attached" to the official unemployment rate and the true unemployment rate in the U.S. is currently between 14 percent and 15 percent of the labor force – one in seven workers.
Not surprisingly, "huge majorities" of the public ranked "jobs and the economy" as their highest policy priorities in a Pew Research Survey in January 2013, as President Obama was beginning his second term, reports The New York Times op-ed columnist Ross Douthat.
"Down at the bottom of the list" of the public's policy priorities in January were "gun control, immigration and climate change," and yet just six months later, writes Douthat, "the public's non-priorities look like the entirety of the White House's second-term agenda."
Outside of liberal elite circles, contends Douthat, Obama's second-term agenda "looks at best peculiar, at worst perverse": Gun control became a priority "with firearm homicides at a 30year low," while major new carbon regulations are being drawn up "when actual existing global warming has been well below projections for 15 year and counting."
On "the issues that Americans actually prioritize – jobs, wages and the economy," advises Douthat, Obama's agenda on immigration and greenhouse gases "will make the picture somewhat worse."
This fundamental "disconnect" between the public's priorities and Obama's agenda, Douthat contends, "is the most serious threat to current liberal ascendance."
Additionally, Douthat doesn't comment on the negative impact of ObamaCare on economic growth and jobs. In a new Gallup poll, 41 percent of small-business owners, a key job-creating segment of the U.S. economy, say ObamaCare has already caused them to freeze hiring, 19 percent say they've cut their number employees, and 18 percent have reduced their employees' hours to part-time.
Also adding to business costs and negatively impacting economic growth and job creation, there are over 4,000 new regulations currently in the federal pipeline, including EPA's new ozone rule which will hit American manufacturers with an estimated $100 billion per year in new costs.
Bottom line, with few if any corrective measures coming out of Washington, asserts Douthat, "we're left with the peculiar spectacle of a political class responding to a period of destructive long-term unemployment with an agenda that threatens to help extend the crisis toward 2020 and beyond."
More directly, when it comes to job creation and business growth, the public's top priorities, we're dealing with an anti-jobs administration that's stuck on stupid.

Robbins engineers design reliable conveyor systems regardless of whether we are delivering muck through a straight tunnel or a tunnel with multiple curves. Systems always include a main drive, an advancing tail piece, and a belt storage cassette, which are sufficient for many straight tunnels.
When the tunnel has curves it is essential to maintain low belt tension in order to guide the belt through the curves. Robbins' multiple drive systems, which add booster drives to the conveyor system as the conveyor length increases, maintain low belt tension regardless of the length and number of curves in the tunnel. Our patented, load-sensing curve idlers guide the belt through curves while maintaining maximum muck carrying capacity. When a splice stand is added, then new rolls of belt can be installed into the system in the shortest time possible and you have the most efficient muck removal system available today.
With a Robbins continuously advancing conveyor system the only time the belt must be stopped is to add a new roll of belt. Otherwise, the system runs constantly as the TBM and conveyor continuously advance together. The advancing tail piece contains a protected working window within which workers safely install the idler assemblies while the belt is in motion. The advancing tail piece contains the system's tail pulley and is mounted on hydraulic cylinders, which allow the belt to be positioned precisely on line and grade.
The design of the advancing tail piece differs depending on whether the conveyor will be mounted on the side of the tunnel or the top of the tunnel. When the conveyor is mounted on the side of the tunnel, the knee braces, side rails, and return idlers (except for curve hold-down idlers) are installed ahead of the advancing tail piece. When the conveyor is mounted at the top of the tunnel, the side rails are hung from the tunnel crown at the advancing tail piece and all idlers installed within the tail piece.
We design our belt storage cassettes specifically for each project to provide the maximum belt storage capacity in a package to fit the space you have available on the job site. The cassette can be located in the tunnel or on the surface. It can be supplied with 300, 400, or 500 m of belt storage capacity. In addition to providing belt storage, the Robbins belt storage cassette maintains proper belt tension at all times — during startup or shutdown, with a full or empty belt.
Putting belt storage cassettes and splice stands on the surface minimizes the number of workers required to go underground, lowering your operating costs– something Robbins engineers are always thinking of.
With our continuous conveyor systems the only time you need to stop excavating is when you install a new roll of belt. Robbins belt splice stands minimize your downtime for installing new belt into the system. Our splice stands allow you to keep a new roll of belt in position and ready for installation at all times. In many cases, using mechanical splices, a new roll of belt can be installed in less than 1.5 hours. There is no need to stop tunneling to vulcanize the splices since they can be vulcanized during planned equipment maintenance periods.
The main drive supplies the initial force needed to move the belt and its load. The main drive can be placed on the surface or at the bottom of the shaft, which means a project's physical constraints will not determine whether or not you can use a conveyor. Robbins offers drives with a wide range of power, in either fixed speed or variable frequency drive control configurations.
The booster drive allows power to be added at specific locations within the conveyor system as the tunnel advances, allowing belt tension to be kept to a minimum. In a tunnel with many curves, the location of the booster drives is critical since the location directly impacts the maximum tension developed in the belt. Robbins uses proprietary methods to calculate the belt tension when designing multiple drive conveyor systems, methods based on years of experience and data from previous jobs. Booster drives are typically installed on the loaded side of the belt (tripper drives), but may also be required on the return side of the belt in longer tunnels.
There are two types of control systems for multiple conveyor drive systems: natural load sharing and controlled load sharing.
The main drive is the first to start applying tension to the belt, followed by the booster drives in sequence. The use of variable fill hydraulic couplings in the drives allows power to be continually added at a predetermined rate after startup until the system is running at full power. These events must be timed correctly in order for the system to start and run efficiently, and to prevent over-tensioning the belt. With Robbins multiple drive systems, a controlled start-up will take place regardless of the load on the belt. When the conveyor reaches nominal speed each drive motor's load is determined by the natural dynamics of the system. The main and booster drives share the load proportionately. As the conveyor length increases, additional load-side boosters and/or a return booster are added to continuously control the natural buildup of belt tension.
The belt tension is actively calculated at each drive by monitoring motor torque at each conveyor drive. The use of variable frequency controls and the motor torque feedback loop allows Robbins to precisely control the speed/torque of each drive, thereby actively controlling the belt tension at all points in the system.

30 Stars From Classic Rock Music Videos: Where Are They Now?
In its heyday, MTV served as a boon to rock bands looking to bring their music to a broader mainstream audience. While artists unquestionably received added attention once their videos were added to MTV, the network also served as a launching pad for many aspiring actors and models.
Music videos were flooded with attractive faces, often garnering heavy screen time without even uttering a line. The title of "Video Vixen" became a badge of honor, while teen boys everywhere stayed glued to their television, hoping to get a glimpse of rock's new hot babe.
These clips quickly became ingrained in pop culture, leaving an indelible mark on the viewers watching. Don't believe us? Ask a guy who was in high school during the '80s if he remembers a scene from his favorite sitcom - he'll probably struggle. Ask the same man if he remembers the videos for Warrant's "Cherry Pie" or Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher" - we bet his memory is much clearer.
Of course, video moments weren't limited to women. Many male stars enjoyed the music video spotlight as well, with some parlaying the exposure into long and substantial careers.
For some actors, appearing in a major music video would signal the peak of their entertainment life. For others, it was just the beginning. We dug deep to find 30 stars from some of classic rock's most recognizable videos, including clips from ZZ Top, Tom Petty, Billy Idol and more. Below, you find info on their life after music video stardom, and what they're doing now.

Putting your own needs first
It's a win-win idea. A parent sells their home to move in with their adult child's family, providing cash for the deposit or renovations and helping with the mortgage and providing free childcare. In return, there's companionship, care and physical support for the older person.
But sometimes these plans go awry, leaving the elderly parent in a living arrangement they don't enjoy and can't afford to leave.
Although everyone meant well, the outcome may be elder abuse, which experts define as "any act occurring within a relationship where there is an implication of trust, which results in harm to an older person".
Paper trail
One of the problems is that family agreements are often oral with no paper trail, says Russell Westacott, CEO of Seniors Rights Service and co-chair of Elder Abuse Action Australia. He urges people to write things down.
"If the plan does not work out, then at least the older person can show how much money they put into the arrangement and claim some or all of it back."
Russell is concerned about the financial turmoil caused by COVID-19.
Unwelcome guest
Elder financial abuse does not necessarily involve cash or transactions, notes Russell.
"A common scenario is an adult child being out of work and moving back to their bedroom as a temporary solution."
But years later, they are still there against their parents' wishes and it can be difficult, emotionally and legally, to get rid of them.
Another subtle form of financial abuse involves a family member or a friendly neighbour offering to go to the shops for the older person but skimming off money each time, Russell says.
"We have people calling us to say for the last 12 months they have been giving this person $200 a week, but they only get $100 of groceries back," Russell says.
People can reduce this risk by formalising shopping arrangements and other support with a service provider.
This is an area in which financial planners can make a positive impact.
"A little like estate planning, every financial plan should include a solution for aged care planning," says Louise Biti, a Director at Aged Care Steps who has been training financial planners for more than 23 years.
Plan for frailty
Louise believes a well-documented plan can help protect people from elder abuse. But she is concerned many people find it challenging to plan for frailty.
But having a retirement plan that acknowledges a period of frailty may reduce the risk of an older client giving their money to an adult child without considering the consequences.
Often, the last line of defence is the financial planner — the voice of reason at the table, Louise says.
A financial planner with experience in aged care can help you set up a well-documented plan for your retirement and may also be able to advise you about budgeting for and accessing home care support and frailty care.

ENNIO GRABER won the 2017 FAI/F3C World Championships for RC Helicopters
Model helicopter pilot Ennio Graber won the FAI F3C World Championships for the second time last year.
The 37-year-old physical education teacher, who lives in Vira Gambarogno in Switzerland, has enjoyed an illustrious aeromodelling career – as well as being crowned World Champion on two occasions, he has been European Champion three times.
He credits his father's passion for the sport of aeromodelling for making him such a successful competitor.
We caught up with him to find out what it takes to become an aeromodelling champion.
Hi Ennio, congratulations on your victory at the FAI F3C World Championships 2017 in Wloclawek, Poland – the latest of many!
Yes, thank you. I have won many competitions throughout my career in aeromodelling. I was also World Champion in 2013, and European Champion in 2010, 2012, and 2016, as well as Swiss Champion a total of 13 times. My first World Championship was in 2001 IN Muncie, USA. That was a really big honour for me because I was on the Swiss national team with my father, who taught me everything I knew.
How long have you been involved in radio-controlled (RC) aeromodelling?
I started to practise RC aeromodelling at the age of seven, starting with a car then a little glider. I started flying RC helicopters when I was about 10 years old. My father has been involved in aeromodelling for a long time, so my passion for this wonderful activity started with him. I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time on airfields even as a child, and to follow the huge development in the F3C category.
Why do you enjoy RC aeromodelling?
Aeromodelling is an accessible way for young people to get invvolved in aviation. It allows you to get your hands on a flying vehicle – the assembly and continuous modifications you need to make to keep improving an aircraft's performance are all part of the fun. For me, RC helicopters are even more fascinating because they are one of the most mechanically and electronically complex aircrafts used in aeromodelling.
What skills do you need to be a good RC helicopter pilot?
To be a good RC helicopter pilot, you need to be dedicated and spend a lot of time practising. Good reaction skills, coordination and mental flexibility are also a big help. When it comes to F3C races, mechanical and electronic tuning of the helicopter is also very important because, as in Formula 1, a good driver without a suitable car will never be able to compete and perform well. Each pilot must therefore personalise his helicopter model in such a way that he can achieve the best result.
What is your advice for young F3C pilots?
To be successful in F3C competitions, it is important to learn basics maneouveres such as "hovering" and "linear forward flight". Only then you can progress to more complex moves such as loopings, rolls, and flips ... I would also tell young pilots not to be discouraged if it takes a while for them to notice themsleves improving. Everyone progresses at their own pace, and taking longer to get there does not mean you will not be the best in the future.

The Beatles, 'Abbey Road' Anniversary Edition: Album Review
The Beatles' 50th-anniversary edition of Abbey Road isn't the deep dive that previous celebrations of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (from 2017) and the White Album (2018) were.
The Super Deluxe Edition includes three CDs, plus a Blu-ray that repeats the entire program, including the 2019 mix of the 1969 album found on CD One, in a variety of hi-res formats. That leaves two discs of sessions, basically 23 tracks in 90 minutes that chart the evolution of the band's last-recorded LP. (Let It Be was released later but recorded before Abbey Road.)
But like the earlier golden-anniversary boxes, the expanded Abbey Road is an essential chronicle of the final years of a group that changed the way pop music sounded, looked and was viewed by mainstream critics. It's their last masterpiece, and a work that, in a way, can be considered the culmination of their career.
It's also the Beatles' best-sounding album, so the 2019 mix of the original LP – by Giles Martin, who worked on the previous two sets – doesn't make any drastic changes to the songs you've known for all these years, unlike the Sgt. Pepper's remix that utilized the 1967 mono mix for a new stereo overhaul. The cornerstone of Abbey Road's anniversary edition is the sessions discs anyway, and they reveal some key elements about both the album and the group.
Notably, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr are having a blast in the studio, a stark contrast to the Let It Be sessions that fell apart earlier in the year. Unlike the tension-filled dates from January 1969, the recordings that took place mostly that summer yielded a sense of lightness that had disappeared over the preceding years. The camaraderie the quartet wanted to get back to at the beginning of the year – following the divisive nature of the White Album – came to glorious fruition on Abbey Road.
The sessions actually start at the end of those earlier studio dates, with "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" featuring Billy Preston on organ. (He's on the finished version too but more pronounced here.) From there, the two discs work their way chronologically through the songs recorded from April though August, including a pair of songs that ended up on a single – "The Ballad of John and Yoko" and "Old Brown Shoe" – and McCartney solo demos for "Goodbye" and "Come and Get It," which he gave to Mary Hopkin and Badfinger, respectively.
Many of the songs came nearly fully formed to the studio, so there's not much variation between the original versions and the various alternate takes included here. Some of the earliest attempts turn out to be the most illuminating, like an early stab at "Oh! Darling," once again featuring a heightened Preston performance, and Harrison's two Abbey Road contributions – "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun" – without all the bells and whistles.
Listen to Take 4 of 'Oh! Darling'
But the centerpiece is "The Long One," the late-July title given to Side Two's still-breathtaking medley encompassing nine shorter songs (eight on the released album) penned by Lennon and McCartney. The sessions discs include individual versions of "You Never Give Me Your Money," "Polythene Pam," "Golden Slumbers" and the others, but it's this 16-minute "Trial Edit & Mix" that pulls it all together and gives Abbey Road its significance.
The pivotal point here is the inclusion of "Her Majesty," the 23-second acoustic McCartney ditty that ends the original album, between "Mean Mr. Mustard" and "Polythene Pam" in the medley's initial mix. Does it work better here? Hard to say after hearing it all these years in its place as the album's coda, but it sure doesn't sound out of place wedged between the two Lennon songs.
It also sheds new light on such a familiar work – as did the previous deluxe editions, which sparked re-evaluation of two classic albums.
If the Sgt. Pepper's anniversary edition pulled back the curtain on one of pop music's most heralded records and revealed all the gears that kept it moving, and the White Album set signaled a new beginning rather than the beginning of the end that's so often read into the work, then this new Abbey Road makes a strong case for its place at the very top of all-time-best-Beatles-albums lists.
Five decades on, it sounds that great and maybe even better than you remember. The sessions show just how strong the band still was as a performing unit, even after retiring from live appearances three years earlier. There isn't a note out of place; many of the various takes could have been released without altering the album's place in history.
Abbey Road's legacy is that of a band going out on top. (The four Beatles were in the studio together for the last time during the final days of the sessions to mix and sequence the LP.) Hearing them on this excellent box reinforces what we've all heard so many times before: There'll never be another band like them.

Recovering a Laptop After Forgetting Windows and BIOS Password
My sis-in-law loves a bargain (she's from Yorkshire!) and recently rang to ask me (via her sister, my wife) if I'd be able to recover a laptop she'd been offered, before she went ahead and bought it.
Apparently the owner of the laptop had forgotten the Windows password and had written the laptop off as worthless, so was willing to sell for next-to-nothing. I said yes, I'd able to do something with it.
What I didn't realise was that it might have a BIOS password, which it did!
Initially I'd thought it would be as simple as sticking in a Windows install CD and building from scratch. However, without the BIOS password I couldn't change the boot order of the disks to get it to boot from CD.
I tried Google and there's lots of complicated hacks out there, as well as BIOS removal tools for sale. None of the hacks worked for me. Nor did stripping the laptop down to hot-wire jumpers or remove the CMOS battery (which was un-removable).
Then I had a brainwave.
The Simple, Fool-Proof Solution
If you find yourself wanting to boot from CD on a laptop (or PC for that matter) where you can't modify the BIOS try this:
- Remove the hard drive
- Insert the Windows install CD
- Start the laptop
- Hope that BIOS fails-over to the CD after not finding a hard drive
- If it boots from the CD, while that's happening, quickly re-insert the hard drive.
- By the time Windows is ready to install the hard drive will be there
- Remove the old disk partitions and start afresh
Hey presto. Worked for me. Hope it helps somebody else.

mpage - Man Page
print multiple pages per sheet on PostScript printer
mpage [-1248aAceEfHloOrRStTuUvVxX] [-b papersize] [-B[num[lrtb]]...] [-C [encoding]] [-da|p] [-D dateformat] [-F fontname] [-h header] [-j first[-last][%interval]] [-J startpageno] [-L lines] [-m[num[lrtb]]...] [-M[num[lrtb]]...] [-p[prprog]] [-P[printer]] [-s tabstop] [-W width] [-z printcmd] [-Z printcmd_args] [file ...]
mpage reads plain text files or PostScript documents and prints them on a PostScript printer with the text reduced in size so that several pages appear on one sheet of paper. This is useful for viewing large printouts on a small amount of paper. It uses ISO 8859.1 to print 8-bit characters.
The following options are recognized (note that arguments to options may be separated from the option by spaces, except for -B, -m, -M, -p and -P): Also when mpage encounters -- as option it will stop parsing arguments and the remaining arguments are interpreted as filenames.
- -1
Print 1 normal page per sheet (included for symmetry).
- -2
Print 2 normal pages per sheet.
- -4
Print 4 normal pages per sheet (default).
- -8
Print 8 normal pages per sheet.
- -a
Toggle layout of the pages on the sheet so that successively numbered pages run down the sheet, as opposed to left to right. (default updown) .
This option is deprecated, see -b. Prepare output for A4 sized paper. For default see 'mpage -x'.
- -bpapertype
Prepare output for selected paper type. Papersize can be A3 for European A3, A4 for European A4, Letter for US Letter or Legal for Legal sized paper. For default see 'mpage -x'. To see the list of currently available types, just give the 'mpage -bl' or 'mpage -b?' command (Note: mpage exits after finding such option use.)
- -B[<num>[lrtb]*]
Setup a box around a particular part of your page. Specify text box margins and line thickness. The default is 0 columns (lines) for both left and right (top and bottom) margins and 0 line thickness. Specifying -B solely toggles printing of the box. l, r, t or b set the left, right, top or bottom margin respectively to <num> columns (lines). Not specifying any of the sides, will set the line thickness when <num> is given. For example -B1 sets the line thickness to 1. Sides with negative margins will not print.
- -c
Toggle concatenation off pages from different files on single sheets (default off).
- -C[encodingfile]
Specify the character encoding file. The file should be in the mpage library directory (/usr/share/mpage). Mpage has an internal default encoding based on Latin-1 or IBM codepage 850. Depending on compile time option this encoding definition is on or not. Not specifying an encodingfile will toggle the usage of the internal encoding.
- -da|p
Force input to be taken as ascii (a) or postscript (p) text. This way you can print your postscript code as text, or print postscript code that mpage does not recognise. When using -dp, make sure that the the postscript code contains %Page page separators or else things will probably look odd.
- -Ddateformat
Set the date format as in strftime(3) to be used in date/time representations (e.g. in headers). (Note: to be useful you probably need the -H option.)
- -e
Print 2 normal pages per sheet in duplex mode. Every first and fourth page or on one side and every second and third on the other side. This is more or less a combination of the -O and -E option but then in one pass.
Print 2 normal pages per sheet. However, this option will print every second and third page of every set of four pages. This option will ignore -a and -l. See also the -O option. Using these options double sided prints can be created without a duplex printer.
- -f
Toggles folding lines longer than page width (default off) .
- -Ffontname
Specify font. (default Courier). Check your printer for supported fonts. Note: this has almost nothing to do with the fonts used for your X-windows/KDE/Gnome environment.
- -hheader
This is used only when the -p or -H switch is used and is passed as the "-h header" option to pr(1) or as the header for -H.
Create header line for each logical page separated from page text by a horizontal line. Unless -h is given, the header consist of last file modification time, filename and page number, all in bold and slightly larger font. This option only applies to non-postscript files.
- -Iindent
Indent text by indent characters.
- -jfirst[-last][%interval]
Print just the selected sheets, specified by a number, starting at 1. Here last defaults to the end of data, interval to 1. Several -j options can be given (upto MAXJARGS, default 100) to create a complex selection of pages. Thus -j1-10 selects the first 10 sheets, while -j 1%2 prints just the odd-numbered sheets and -j 2%2 prints just the even ones.
You can do double-sided printing, in two passes, as follows. If you use 3-hole punched paper, put it in the printer such that the holes will appear at the top of the page -- on the right as you pull out the printer tray, in our Laser writer II NTX. Print the odd-numbered sheets with
mpage ... -j 1%2 ...
Note the number of pages it reports. (Only half this many will really be printed). When printing finishes, if mpage reported an odd number of pages, remove the last one from the stack, since there will be no even-numbered sheet to match it. Then arrange the stack of paper for printing on the other side. (If it's punched, the holes will now be on the left.) On our II NTX, the paper comes out blank-side up; replace it in the tray still blank-side up but rotated 180 degrees. For other printers, you figure it out. Now print the even-numbered sheets in reverse order with
hoping no one else reaches the printer before you do.
- -Jstartpageno
Set the start value of the sheet page count to startpageno instead of 1.
- -k
When mpage finds a %%TRailer or %%PSTrailer in the postscript input file it normally assumes this is the end of the postscript file and stops reading the input file. But when the PS file includes EPS files, %%Trailers might be anywhere. Using this option ignores the %%TRailer and %%PSTRailer lines.
- -l
Toggle printing landscape or portrait mode. Landscape pages are 55 lines long by 132 characters wide by default. Portrait pages are 66 lines long by 80 characters wide by default. (default portrait.)
- -Llines
Adjust the page reduction parameters so that lines lines will fit in the space of one page. This overrides the default values normally supplied. (See -l.) If used in conjunction with -p then this value is passed to the pr(1) as well. As a side effect this changes the font size as well (as will the -W option.) So while there is an option to change font family, there is no explicit option to change font size!
- -m[<num>[lrtb]*]
Specify sheet margin. The default margin is 20 points. Only specifying -m sets left margin to 40 points. l, r, t or b set left, right, top or bottom margin respectively to <num> points. Not specifying any of the sides will set all sides when <num> is given. <num> defaults to 40 points. For example -m10 sets all margins to 10 points. -ml50tb sets left margin to default 40 and top and bottom margin to 50 points. -m50l25bt30r set bottom and top margin to 25, left margin to 50 and right margin to 30 points. Margins can have negative numbers.
- -M[<num>[lrtb]*]
Specify logical page margins. For syntax, see -m option. Defaults are 4 for -M solely, and 8 for <num>. Margins can be negative. This way large white borders in your (postscript) documents can be reduced.
- -o
Toggle printing of outlines around each reduced page (default on).
Print 2 normal pages per sheet. However, this option will print every first and fourth page of every set of four pages. This option will ignore -a and -l. See also the -E option. Using these options double sided prints can be created without a duplex printer.
- -p[prprog]
Pipe input through prprog command (including specified options) before printing (assumes the input is a text file). When no command is specified, it defaults to pr(1).
- -P[printer]
Specify the printer to which the PostScript output will be sent (e.g.lpr -Pprinter). Using -P with no printer specified will send the PostScript to the default printer queue (e.g. lpr). Using -P- will return output to stdout, useful in combination with MPAGE environment variable. Without -P output will be send to standard output.
- -r
Reverse printing. The last sheet is printed first. The way of arranging reduced pages on the sheets doesn't change.
Switch to left to right mode, starting first page on left bottom corner. This might be useful for landscape postscript files. (Note: using -l after -R undoes -R, and switches to normal landscape mode.
- -stabstop
Set tabstop width (default 8 characters). Should by >= 2.
Accept non-square page reduction. By default, pages are shrunk equally in X and Y, even if this wastes some space on the sheet. With -S, reduced pages are larger but slightly distorted. (only used when printing postscript files.)
- -t
Toggle printing on both sides of the paper. This will toggle duplex mode of the printer. Use this option only if your printer is capable of printing in duplex mode. (default off).
Toggle tumble of every second pages when printing in duplex mode. Use this option only if your printer is capable of printing in duplex mode and together with -t.
- -u
Toggle checking for UTF-8 input (not relevant for postscript input).
This option is deprecated, see -b. Prepare output for US Letter sized paper. For default see 'mpage -x'.
- -v
Toggle printing a count of the number of sheets produced for printing (default off.)
Print version information and exit.
- -Wwidth
Adjust the page reduction parameters so that a line with width characters long will fit in the space of one page. This overrides the default values normally supplied. (See -l.) If used in conjunction with -p then this value is passed to the s pr(1) program as well. See also the -L option on font sizes.
- -x
Force usage display, which also shows current defaults.
- -X [header]
Print header on the left and the page number on the right of each physical page (sheet). If no header is given, the default is the current filename (note influence of -c), the filename of the first file on the page is used.
- -zprintcommand
Specify command to use to send output to. Default is lpr (1) for BSD style spooler, lp (1) for SYSV style spooler. You can specify command line options, but note -Z. For example -zlp for system V Unix.
- -Zprintprog_queuename_arg
Specify what option to use for the "-z printcommand" to specify a printqueue. For example -zlp -Z-d for system V Unix. Default is -P for BSD style spooler, -d for SYSV style spooler.
mpage examines the PRINTER (or LPDEST for SYSV style spooler) environment variable to override its default printer.
The MPAGE_LIB environment variable can be used to control where the character encoding files (-C) can be found.
mpage also examines the MPAGE environment variable for default option settings. Any option or combination of options can be specified in the MPAGE environment variable. For example, if MPAGE is set to the string:
-2oPqms -L60
it would (in the absence of other command line arguments) print 2 pages per sheet, 60 lines per page, with outlines, on the printer named qms (overriding the PRINTER/LPDEST environment variable, if it exists.) In the environment variable, white space is used as an option delimiter, and no quoting is recognized.
Any command line options will override both the PRINTER and MPAGE environment variables.
Suffers under the burden of far too many switches. (But you wanted the choices!)
NULL characters in a postscript input file will cause mpage to crash!
Many others, we're sure.
Mpage is year 2000 compliant, as long as the underlying operating system is!!!
Version 2.5.7, Released June 2017.

Tailgating has evolved from a couple of guys in lawn chairs behind a pick-up in a far-flung corner of the stadium parking lot, to sophisticated soirees outfitted with high-tech accessories. If you're planning a tailgate party and don't want to be outdone, here are a few items you'll need to upgrade your celebration.
Portable Generator. Portable generators are becoming a household staple, as more Americans realize the need for back-up power in the event of a power outage at home. But portable generators can also be used during tailgating festivities. Generac's iX Series of portable generators are compact in design and feature inverter technology that reduces the size, weight and noise of the generator. The upgraded electronic filter provides clean, safe power eliminating interference with other electronic devices, and its low weight-to-power ratio makes for lightweight portability – a perfect accessory for your tailgating party.
Portable Toilet. Food, drink and entertainment are nice, but nothing is more essential to tailgating revelers than convenient bathroom facilities. TravelJohn created its Mobile Lavatory System for a grateful tailgating population, making that 500-mile trek to the nearest restroom – and standing in its long line – completely unnecessary. The TravelJohn Mobile Lavatory System includes a privacy tent, a foldable commode chair, a three-day restroom kit including its disposable urinals, solid waste collection kits and even hand tissues, and a duffel bag. Party on!
Tailgating Canopy. If the back of your vehicle is Tailgating Headquarters and you're the President of the Party, you'll need a shelter befitting your position. Bumperchute makes tailgating canopies that attach to the back of your vehicle. They're offered in a variety of styles, depending on your vehicle type and your individual needs. Some are so elaborate, they even offer side "walls" with plastic windows for a space that's largely enclosed against the elements. Bumperchute canopies can shield you from a blistering sun and equally blistering cold winds, as well as protect food before it's served. It's a tailgating accessory every tailgate party host will want.
Take a high-tech approach to your tailgating party, and you'll show your guests a good time more sophisticated than they could've imagined a parking lot party could be.
