Parc-Hotel & Restaurant Staila
A 5-minute walk from Livigno centre, this Alpine-style hotel offers individually decorated rooms with flat-screen TV. The Cassana Cable Car for the Carosello 3000 ski area is just 30 metres away.
Score from 103 reviews Wonderful
Hotel Parè is located outside Livigno and offers views of the village. A free shuttle takes guests into town and to the Mottolino cable car, half a mile away.
Score from 30 reviews Very good
The hotel is located on the Swiss-Italian border between the Swiss National Park and the Stelvio National Park and offers cozy room and tasty cuisine.
Score from 34 reviews Good
A 10-minute walk from the Zernez Train Station, this family-run hotel is located at the entrance to the Swiss National Park.
Score from 144 reviews Very good
It's not nice to have to search for the receptionist around the hotel on first arriving. Particulary after a bike tour
Very friendly Pizza is good Bike storage is a plus (host even put our bikes away) Rooms are comfortable and shower is hot
Getting between Tchierv and Livigno meant going through the Toll Tunnel or extremely expensive public transport Otherwise, very good!
Rooms OK. But dinner and breakfast were excellent. Special mention for Daniele, the cook, who gave us a second serving of our meal as we enjoyed it so much (a mixture of gnocchi and rosti with speck and dried plums, it is not knodel or pizokel, can't remember name)
Hospitality, good service, good kitchen, nice starting point for hiking and mountaineering, as well experiencing the Swiss national park.
Some rooms have shared toalets.
The haus Frau, frauline Troub, was very nice and very accommodating. She allowed me to park in the hotel garage which is always an excellent touch to me, especially in the poor weather I was experiencing. The hotel is pretty and nicely kept. The food is good even tho I got screwed for a simple water request.
It's a fact of life that single rooms in any hotel will be the worst in the hotel. Always small and in the poorest location. I had requested a quiet room away from street noise if possible. I was placed in a small room with a highway on two sides even tho the hotel was nearly empty. Two doors down were rooms facing the quiet mountains. A good hotel will always place a person in a good room when occupancies are low, single or not. The Staila did not give this consideration. I was blessed with ha chorus of road nose. It was quiet from midnight to about 4. Many will find the Staila a nice place but I will have to find another place next trip. I highly recommend the Staila in Fuldera, a few miles south (no association with each other, oddly enough).
All the Staff were very, very friendly and jolly, especially as our linguistic skills are virtually non existent. Rooms were very comfortable. Restaurant was clean and very inviting. Meals were delicious. Would definitely return but request a first floor room!
Would have liked to have had a lift within hotel, although Manager did help with our luggage to the second floor. Also if hotel had information/menu's written in English it would have been so much easier. Hotel has a fast flowing stream running behind it and it was very noisy so we were grateful that windows were double glazed.

Macomb, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Taylor Braun notched a game-high 19 points for the North Dakota State Bison, who bested the Western Illinois Leathernecks, 56-52, in Summit League play at Western Hall.
Lawrence Alexander tallied 14 points for the Bison (19-6, 8-2 Summit), who have won three in a row. Marshall Bjorklund followed with 12 points as he shot a perfect 4-of-4 from the floor and the same at the free-throw line.
Jabari Sandifer had 13 points and six assists for the Leathernecks (9-15, 3-6), who dropped their third straight. Adam Link also netted 13 points in the loss.
The teams were evenly matched in the first half, with the Leathernecks shooting 41.7 percent from the floor to the Bison's 37.9 percent. The Bison were able to hit one more field goal, though, and claimed a 28-26 halftime lead.
In the second half, the Bison converted 43.8 percent from the floor as their opponent was almost dead even at 43.5 percent. NDSU's 14-of-16 at the free- throw line was the real difference-maker, as the hosts got to the line just nine times and converted four attempts.
Though they never led by more than 10 points, the Bison knocked down 17-of-19 at the charity stripe to help secure the victory.

Governor commends Waggoner Engineering's Donelson Harris
by MBJ Staff
Published: May 3,2013
Waggoner Engineering's Donelson C. Harris, PE, received commendation from the Louisiana Professional Engineering and Land Surveying Board and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal after more than 50 years of service in his field, honoring his efforts to "safeguard life, health and property and promote the public welfare." Harris' career as a professional engineer has been marked by many notable accomplishments, including serving as the project manager for the Alaska Transcontinental Oil Pipeline for Michael Baker, Jr. Inc., the Jackson metro-area Airport Parkway Commission and most recently for the Interstate 20 Improvement Program for the city of Ruston, La. For more than 50 years, Harris has provided a wide range of planning, design, and construction services in connection with roadways, bridges, tunnels, pipelines, ports, airports and other civil engineering projects. He has worked with Waggoner Engineering since 2000, and now serves as a project manager and senior project engineer with the company. Prior to Waggoner, Harris was the vice president of ICF Kaiser/Georgia Wilson Inc. in Houston. He is registered as a professional engineer in Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.

Last weekend's men's Coast to Coast champion Richard Ussher is expected to challenge local favourite Ethan Glover for the title in the fifth annual Santa Cruz Coppermine Mountainbike event in Nelson tomorrow.
A specialist mountainbiker, Glover knows the course backwards and will be looking for his first win in the Epic.
Wellington's Tim Wilding has also been a consistently high podium finisher in the last four events and will be pushing hard for his first win.
In the women's race, it should be a great race between multisport specialists Elena Ussher, Richard's wife and Coast women's winner, and Fleur Lattimore.
The track, which follows New Zealand's first railway, had a significant makeover in 2011. The descent to the Maitai dam was the focus of the upgrade by Nelson City Council contractors.
The Coppermine offers two courses.
The Enduro course follows the Dun trail and is suitable for most intermediate bikers with good fitness. It has a grade three intermediate level ride of between three to five hours.
For those wanting a more formidable challenge, the Epic course is aimed at mountainbike racers or those with experienced riding skills.
Tomorrow's event offers a well-organised Nelson back-country mountain bike experience. There are many spot prizes, including a $5500 Santa Cruz mountain bike and $1300 cash from NBS to the winners.
Spectators and supporters are encouraged to come along and watch. The start and finish area is 2km up the Maitai Valley just before the Waahi Taakaro Golf Club.
There will be coffee, gourmet seafood, massage, and sponsors' tents at the vicinity of the finish line.
There are no entries on the day. Race start is at 9.30am and the first riders are expected over the finish line at approximately 11.30am.
More information is available at coppermine.co.nz.

New Romney ad misleads on auto bailoutBy BETH FOUHY
The Associated Press | October 30,2012NEW YORK TITLE: Who Will Do More?
LENGTH: 30 seconds
AIRING: Northern Ohio markets, including Toledo and Youngstown.
KEY IMAGES: The ad opens with a car crossing a city bridge and cuts to other images of people in their cars a young woman, a young black couple, and a baby in a booster seat.
Who will do more to support the auto industry? Not Barack Obama, a male narrator says, adding, Mitt Romney has a plan to help the auto industry. The ad then shows video of Lee Iacocca, noting Romney had been endorsed by the longtime auto executive.
The ad then cuts to images of old cars being crushed. Obama took GM and Chrysler into bankruptcy and sold Chrysler to Italians who are going to build jeeps in China, the narrator says. Mitt Romney will fight for every American job.
ANALYSIS: This ad, airing in Ohio, a major battleground state, in the campaigns final days, is an effort by the Romney campaign to turn Obamas decision to bail out General Motors and Chrysler against the president.
Romneys opposition to the bailout has bedeviled him in Ohio, where thousands of auto industry jobs were saved by the federal intervention. Polls show Romney consistently trailing Obama in Ohio, and a loss there would make it extremely difficult for the Republican hopeful to assemble the 270 electoral votes needed for victory.
The ad, while technically accurate in its claims, is misleading.
Its assertion that Obama took GM and Chrysler through bankruptcy is true. But the ad fails to mention the billions in government loans he extended to the two companies that allowed them to come out of bankruptcy and reorganize. Both companies are now profitable.
Romney also pressed for GM and Chrysler to go bankrupt, which he does not mention in this ad. He also wrote in a widely publicized New York Times column that if the companies received a government bailout, You can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye.
Its true that Chrysler is now largely owned by Fiat, an Italian auto company that purchased a large stake in Chrysler when it was going through its bankruptcy reorganization. Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne gave Chrysler management expertise and technology that has helped the company make a comeback.
Its also true that Chrysler is looking to produce some of its Jeep product line in China. But the companys plans do not threaten Jeep production in the United States, as the ad seems to suggest.
The ad is more carefully worded that Romneys claim in Ohio last week that one of the great manufacturers in this state, Jeep, now owned by the Italians, is thinking of moving all production to China. Democrats cried foul, and Chrysler quickly released a statement saying it had no intention of shifting production from the U.S. to China. A company spokesman said Chrysler would build new plants in China to satisfy demand in Asia and elsewhere but that U.S. Jeep assembly lines will continue to stay in operation.MORE IN Wire NewsHONOLULU A shipping company pleaded guilty plea Friday to criminal charges from a 1,400-ton...

KISSES ON THE BOTTOM Needed A SLOW HAND
When [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Paul McCartney[/lastfm] set about recording his Kisses on the Bottom collection of standards (which came out Tuesday), he wanted it to stand out from similar projects from [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Rod Stewart[/lastfm] and [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Robbie Williams[/lastfm].
One of his ideas was to give it a bluesier feel, so he brought in [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Eric Clapton[/lastfm], which he'd never done for a solo album. Clapton plays acoustic guitar on the lead single, a McCartney original called "My Valentine," and he broke out the electric for "Get Yourself Another Fool." Both solos were recorded at Abbey Road in London.
During those sessions, McCartney recalled that the last time they'd recorded together was on September 6th, 1968, when Clapton played the solo on [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]The Beatles[/lastfm]' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," also at Abbey Road. Clapton has now played on at least one solo album by each of The Beatles.
McCartney will celebrate the release of Kisses on the Bottom with an intimate concert tonight (Thursday 2/9/12) at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, where he recorded it. You can see it starting at 9 (our time) on iTunes. No word on if Clapton will show up.

No sanctions against these 5 friends of Russia
Send this to a friend
- Kent Hoover
- Washington Bureau Chief
- Email | Twitter | Google
Should U.S. businesses be worried about the sanctions imposed against Russia over its actions against Ukraine?
So far, no. President Barack Obama announced a new round of sanctions Monday, but these only target 11 individuals -- seven Russian government officials and four other people, including Viktor Yanukovych, the Moscow-backed former president of Ukraine. The U.S. is freezing any U.S. assets these individuals may have and refusing to issue them visas.
Additional sanctions could be forthcoming, Obama warned.
"Going forward, we can calibrate our response on whether Russia chooses to escalate or deescalate the situation," Obama said.
But for now at least, the U.S. is not pursuing anything close to a trade embargo against Russia, which was America's 18th-largest trading partner in 2013.
Who are Russia's biggest friends in the U.S. business community? Here are five comrades:
The public relations giant has been millions trying to boost the image of Russia with the American public. Russia has paid Ketchum more than $26 million since 2006, and the firm has no plans to stop cashing Vladimir Putin's checks just because he wants to take over Crimea.
"Our work continues to focus on supporting economic development and investment in the country and facilitating the relationship between representatives of the Russian Federation and the Western media," a Ketchum spokeswoman told The Hill. "We are not advising the Russian Federation on foreign policy, including the current situation in Ukraine."
Alston & Bird, a law and lobbying firm, also has benefited from Ketchum's relationship with Russia -- it's earned around $1.4 million representing Russia through a subcontract with Ketchum, according to The Hill.

From Citizen To Problem: The New Coptic Tokenism
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry released a statement this past Thursday that was entirely without precedent, and yet it received practically no media attention amidst the political turmoil the country is currently experiencing. According to the statement, "Beyond overlooking the violent and dangerous reality of the Rabea and Nahda sit-ins, a number of foreign governments and international media outlets have also chosen to overlook the recent increase in killings and attacks that are once again targeting Egypt's Christian community."
Observers of Egypt's Coptic community could be forgiven for rubbing their eyes in disbelief upon reading this pronouncement by the Egyptian government. What is so remarkable and, indeed, bewildering about the statement, is that the Egyptian government has repeatedly and forcefully denied the existence of sectarianism on Egyptian soil for decades. For an arm of the government to reference Copts as a target of violence—much less reference the Copts as a distinct community at all—is a stark departure from a long-standing policy of refusing the acknowledgment of sectarian divisions within Egyptian society.
This refusal of sectarianism has long remained a practically unquestioned pillar of Egyptian national identity. That the Foreign Ministry should so blithely disregard the once-firm taboo on sectarian discourse surely means that the Egyptian polity has crossed a Rubicon of sorts. But can one count this as a step towards the greater frankness and transparency that Egypt's revolutionaries demanded back in 2011?
To the contrary: The ministry's statement represents the sort of reflex support for the government in power for which Egyptian state television has become particularly notorious. By criticizing foreigners for ignoring the plight of Egypt's Copts, the Foreign Ministry sought merely to further the indictment of the Muslim Brotherhood as a criminal, terrorist organization—an indictment that Egypt's military government has vigorously advanced for the six weeks of its existence.
The Brotherhood has denied involvement in the widespread attacks on churches that followed the dispersal of the Cairo sit-ins, despite repeated instances of sectarian incitement and hate speech against Copts in the speeches of Brotherhood leaders. Whatever the nature of Brotherhood involvement in these attacks, the government must answer for how they could have taken place at all: Where were the police at a time when one could have expected sectarian tensions to flare?
One cannot help but doubt that this outrage will ever be properly investigated, given the whitewashing of the Maspero massacre, the bombing of Alexandria's Two Saints' Church, and the further instances of sectarian violence that have plagued Egypt since the revolution. But setting aside the question of justice, what I find most worrying about the current crisis are the assumptions that seem to undergird political discussions of the Copts.
There is a widespread cynicism—dare I say, almost sarcasm —about the notion of equal citizenship for Copts before Egyptian law. In place of the serious debates about citizenship that once preoccupied Egyptian intellectuals is a tokenism of unprecedented magnitude. Indeed, I would venture that "the Copt" has become a practically empty signifier in Egyptian politics.
Fewer and fewer Egyptian Muslims have the experience of lived relationships with Copts, for a host of reasons that I have explored in my research. Under such circumstances, the pronouncements of political leaders about the figurative "Copt" displace understandings of difference born of everyday interaction. Whether in the rhetoric of the Brotherhood or the government, opportunistic references to the figurative "Copt" amount to a dehumanization of Copts that makes the burning of churches conceivable.
I have long criticized the government taboo on acknowledging sectarianism, because that taboo has prevented serious and much-needed discussion of problems in Coptic-Muslim relations. But with the figurative "Copt" emerging on the media landscape, there is one aspect of the taboo that I miss—the sense of gravity that the taboo imparted to questions of sectarianism in Egypt. No longer an essential part of the nation, the figurative "Copt" has now become a "problem"—one that the state apparently has to address.

This invention was made with Government support under Navy contract #N66604-99-C-2966 Submarine Multi-band Communications Antenna.
The present invention is directed to an antenna aperture formed of a housing and a wide angle impedance matching (WAIM) cover designed to be mounted on the outside structure of a submarine.
Antennas are widely used to transmit and receive a variety of signals. For example, antennas are prevalent in radio frequency (RF) communications systems. To be effective, the antenna must be capable of transmitting or receiving RF energy from an outside environment. In an application, such as an antenna mounted external to a submarine, the aperture must provide protection from the outside environment, including pressures encountered at submarine ocean depths.
Until now, antennas on submarines have been designed as retractable tow assemblies that are stored in pressurized housing structures and deployed from the submarine for transmission or as mast mounted pressure compliant domed radomes. The deployable antenna has two significant limitations. First, time is required before transmission may begin to allow for the antenna to be physically deployed. Second, problems may arise with the mechanical deployment system of the antenna, leading to antenna failure or degradation. The domed radome has the disadvantage that in order to survive the pressure environment, the radome wall thickness must be substantial, which severely degrades RF signal propagation
A need exists to place an antenna aperture upon a submarine mast in order to provide for communications via the antenna to and from the submarine without the deployment of an antenna tow assembly and without the high RF signal loss resulting from radomes. The antenna aperture must allow for RF transmissions from a submarine antenna, as well as provide a barrier against the outside environment, including hydrostatic forces for the antenna electronics. The antenna aperture should preferably be mast mounted.
To provide an aperture for the isolation of antenna electronics external to the submarine, an antenna aperture must be designed and tested to meet hydrostatic pressure cycling to ensure acceptable performance on a submarine.
An antenna aperture that meets these needs would require both a high strength structural member and a wide angle impedance matching (WAIM) radome cover. The WAIM cover must meet both RF requirements and environmental requirements including hydrostatic pressure requirements.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following more detailed description of the preferred embodiment, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings that illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention.
An antenna aperture and method of making the antenna aperture are provided to address the aforementioned and other disadvantages associated with towed antenna systems and mast mounted domed radome antenna systems. The antenna aperture includes an antenna housing and a wide angle impedance matching (WAIM) cover. The antenna housing is formed of a high strength corrosion resistant steel. The steel may be a superaustenitic stainless steel, such as AL6XN� of the Allegheny Ludlum Corporation. Other high strength corrosion resistant materials may be used depending upon the environmental conditions surrounding the housing.
AL6XN�, although classified as nickel-base alloy by the UNS system, is part of the �superaustenitic� category of stainless steels. This iron-based superaustenitic stainless steel alloy was developed for improved resistance to chloride corrosion. The alloy has a high nickel and molybdenum content.
Radiating aperture waveguide holes are cut through the front surface of the antenna housing and are dielectrically loaded using slip-fit plugs made of a cross-linked polystyrene, such as Rexolite� made by C-Lec Plastics, Inc. To seal the waveguide holes in the antenna housing against environment conditions including high hydrostatic pressures, and to optimize transmission of RF signals, a WAIM cover is attached over the housing surface containing the waveguide holes.
The housing has a base that is sealed to prevent water intrusion at submarine pressures and to provide access to an electronics provided within. The electronic connections that pass through the base of the housing are sealed by known seal coupling techniques.
The WAIM of the current invention is formed of several material layers stacked into a sandwich composite structure. A sandwich composite structure may be formed of a first layer, in order from attachment to the housing, of a film base adhesive layer. An adhesive meeting or exceeding specifications for AF-163-2U is used in this embodiment. A foam sheet with a density of approximately 30 lbs/ft3, such as FR6730 Foam produced by General Plastics, is applied over the adhesive, and the outer edge of the foam sheet is tapered to improve sealing the foam against the environment. A second layer of film adhesive of the same or similar material as the base adhesive layer is placed upon the foam sheet. A facesheet of a cyanate ester impregnated quartz mat, such as Astroquartz� produced by JPS Industries Inc., is then placed upon this second layer of adhesive.
The composite structure of the housing with inserts, base adhesive layer, foam, second adhesive layer, and the facesheet are then heated under pressure to flow the adhesive and substantially integrate the composite structure and bond the WAIM to the housing.
The adhesive may be an impregnated single or multi-ply mat, or may be an applied or film adhesive. The mat material may be a glass fiber mat material.
The WAIM may be formed without the second adhesive layer between the facesheet and the foam so as to co-cure or co-bond the facesheet directly to the foam. The removal of the second adhesive layer may weaken the strength of the bond between the facesheet and the foam and may not be practical depending upon the hydrostatic cycling required by the WAIM.
A final layer of an appliqu� is then applied upon the facesheet to ensure an environmental barrier at elevated pressure. The appliqu� is typically an organic resin matrix elastomeric composite, in particular, a fluoroelastomer of about 0.0056 inch thick. The appliqu� may have a pressure sensitive adhesive coating on the side applied to the facesheet. The appliqu� may be applied by any suitable means to assure that no air is trapped under the appliqu�, such as by a hand roller and an airblow heat gun. The outer circumference of the appliqu� covered WAIM is then sealed to the antenna housing with a silicone-based sealant to form the antenna aperture. The silicone-based sealant may be air dried or heated to form a WAIM edge seal. The silicone based sealant may be pliable or hard upon curing.
It should be appreciated that the foam layer could be joined by an adhesive to the facesheet prior to attachment to the housing by the base adhesive layer. The structure could then be heated under pressure to integrate the composite structure to the antenna housing, followed by application of the appliqu� and silicone sealer to complete the aperture.
Further aspects of the method and apparatus are disclosed herein. The features as discussed above, as well as other features and advantages of the present invention will be appreciated and understood by those skilled in the art from the following detailed description and drawings.
The present invention now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which a preferred embodiment of the invention is shown. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
Referring to FIG. 1., there is illustrated a pre-assembled view of a phased array antenna aperture 1 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It will be appreciated, however, that the present invention is not limited to the selected number of layered sheets, or specific thicknesses of the separate layers, but that the principals and teachings as set forth herein could be used to produce an antenna aperture having a different number of layers or of different layer thickness and qualities based on the particular RF transmission and antenna environment selected. The thickness and number of layers are used to optimize RF performance across the antenna design frequency and scan volume.
The aperture 1 is formed of a housing 10 into which are cut waveguide holes. The housing is formed of a high strength corrosion resistant steel such as a superaustenitic stainless steel of AL6XN designation. Dielectric waveguide inserts 20 formed of slip-fit plugs of a cross-linked polystyrene are loaded into the holes. A WAIM cover, or simply WAIM 30, is formed over the dielectrically loaded antenna housing to seal the housing from any exterior environment. The overall structure of the aperture 1 is shown in
The WAIM 30 is formed of a base adhesive layer 40, a foam sheet 50, an adhesive layer 60, a facesheet 70, and an appliqu� 80, layered upon the dielectrically loaded antenna housing 10. The WAIM 30 performs two functions. It is designed to minimize active impedance induced mismatch loss at high scan angles from boresight and it seals the housing containing the waveguide inserts from the environment. The design of the WAIM 30 assumed exterior submarine conning tower surface exposure or mast to environmental conditions encountered during normal surface and subsurface submarine operations.
The first step in forming the aperture 1 is to cut waveguide holes in the radiating surface of the antenna housing. Waveguide holes are cut through the front surface of the antenna housing by any conventional method including machining and drilling. The waveguide holes are then dielectrically loaded using waveguide inserts 20 formed of slip-fit plugs made of a cross-linked polystyrene, such as Rexolite� by C-Lec Plastics. The number of waveguide holes is dependant upon the phased array application and may include a single hole or two or more holes. The number of machined waveguide holes may be the same as the number of waveguide inserts 20. Some machined waveguide holes may be loaded with a filler or other material if not required for the specific antenna configuration.
The WAIM 30, designed to withstand environmental and high hydrostatic pressures and optimized for RF transmission, is placed over the surface of the housing 10 with the waveguide holes containing the waveguide inserts 20. The WAIM 30 is then joined to the housing 10 by heating under pressure. An appliqu� 80, and then an edge sealant 90, are applied to seal the WAIM 30 to the antenna housing 10 against environmental and applied hydrostatic pressure.
Referring to FIG. 3., the WAIM 30, of this embodiment, is formed of several material layers of substantially circular construction, although it is not limited to this geometry. The first layer is a base adhesive layer 40. The base adhesive layer 40 may be formed of an adhesive impregnated single or multi-ply mat, depending upon the desired structural strength of the adhesive layer. The base adhesive layer 40 is approximately 0.006 inches thick. The adhesive is selected to flow under elevated temperature and pressure, and for this application, meets or exceeds specifications for AF-163-2U.
Upon the base adhesive layer 40, a foam sheet 50 with a density of about 30 lbs/ft3 is applied. The foam sheet 50 has a thickness of about 0.04 inches. The outer circumferential surface of the foam sheet 50 is tapered to a sharp edge to improve sealing against the environment. The thickness of the outer edge of the taper is approximately 0.01 inches. The taper is outward towards the base adhesive layer 40 and joins the base adhesive layer 40 at an angle of 3.81 degrees. The taper ends before reaching the outside edge of the base adhesive layer 40.
Upon the foam sheet 50 is applied a second adhesive layer 60 that may be the same adhesive impregnated single ply mat as the base adhesive layer 40. The adhesive layer 60 is applied to cover the entire foam sheet 50 to the outer edge of the base adhesive layer 30. The thickness of the adhesive layer 60 is approximately 0.006 inches.
A facesheet 70, typically formed of a cyanate ester impregnated quartz mat, such as Astroquartz�, is placed upon the adhesive layer 60. The thickness of the facesheet 70 is approximately 0.005 inches in this embodiment. The facesheet 70 extends to the circumferential edge of the adhesive layer. When the facesheet 70 is applied with an adhesive layer 30 underneath, the facesheet is provided in a precured condition. The facesheet 70 may be applied uncured, however, in this condition the adhesive layer 60 is omitted and the facesheet is applied directly to the foam sheet and is cured and bonded to the foam sheet 50 in a later heating process.
A final appliqu� 80 is placed upon the facesheet 70 to provide an exterior surface. The appliqu� 80 is typically an organic resin matrix elastomeric composite, particularly a fluoroelastomer with a thickness of about 0.006 inches.
The WAIM 30 is consolidated and formed by a hot pressing method, such as an autoclave process. Referring again to FIG. 1., WAIM elements 40, 50, 60, and 70 are stacked upon the housing 10 that has waveguide inserts 20 in place. The antenna housing 1 and the WAIM elements 40, 50, 60 and 70 are then placed in an inert vacuum bag. The atmosphere of the bag is removed under vacuum, and the bag is then placed in an autoclave. The bag is heated to a temperature of about 250� F. at a pressure of approximately 10-12 psi until the adhesive flows and forms a bond of the stacked elements. After removal from the autoclave and allowing sufficient time to cool, the appliqu� 80 is applied. As shown in
An antenna aperture 1 was constructed of a housing of AL6XN� that had waveguide holes cut into a top surface. Slip-fit dielectric plugs 20 formed of Rexolite� were loaded into the cut holes. To seal the waveguide holes in the antenna housing, the WAIM cover was attached over the housing surface containing the waveguide holes.
The WAIM was formed of several material layers stacked into a sandwich composite structure. The first layer, in order from attachment to the housing, was a film base adhesive layer 40 meeting or exceeding specifications for AF-163-2U. The base adhesive layer was an impregnated single ply mat approximately 0.0059 inches thick. A foam sheet 50 of FR6730 Foam by General Plastics with a density of about 30 lbs/ft3 was applied over the adhesive. The foam sheet 50 had a thickness of about 0.0422 inches. The outer circumferential surface of the foam sheet 50 was tapered to a sharp edge to improve sealing against the environment. The thickness of the outer edge of the taper was approximately 0.010 inches. The taper was outward towards the base adhesive layer and joined the base adhesive layer 40 at an angle of 3.81 degrees. The taper ended before reaching the outside edge of the base adhesive layer 40 by approximately 0.475 inches. A second layer of a film adhesive 60 of an impregnated single ply mat of the same composition as the base was placed upon the foam sheet. A procured facesheet 70 of a cyanate ester impregnated quartz mat of approximately 0.005 inches thick Astroquartz� produced by JPS Industries Inc., was then placed upon this second layer of adhesive 60.
The composite structure of the housing with inserts, base adhesive layer 40, foam 50, second adhesive layer 60, and a procured facesheet 70 was placed in a vacuum bag. The vacuum bag was then placed into an autoclave, a vacuum applied to the bag, and heated to approximately 250� F. under a pressure of approximately 10-12 psi to flow the adhesive and substantially integrate the composite structure.
A final appliqu� 80 was placed upon the facesheet of the composite structure to provide an exterior surface. The appliqu� 80 was an organic resin matrix fluoroelastomeric composite with a thickness of about 0.0056 inches. The appliqu� 80 had a pressure sensitive adhesive on the side placed against the facesheet 70 and was applied by hand rolling and heating with an airblow heat gun. The outer circumference of the WAIM 30 and housing 10 was then sealed with a pliable silicone-based sealant 90 and air dried to form the antenna aperture 1.
This antenna aperture design, Band 1 a�20.2-21.2 GHz, was successfully tested under hydrostatic pressure test cycling from 0 psi to 1000 psi to 0 psi, a total of 500 times. The rate of change from 0 psi to 1000 psi was set to 250 psi per minute. The pressure was then held at 1000 psi for 5 minutes. The rate of change from 1000 psi to 0 psi was set at a rate of 250 psi per minute. The antenna aperture had no leakage under these test conditions and met performance requirements of the designed bandwidth.
Antenna apertures were designed for operation in three bandwidth coverages. The separate approximate band widths were Band 1=17.2-21.2 GHz, Band 2=27.5-31.0 GHz, and Band 3=43.5-45.5 GHz. The apertures were designed to meet these three bandwidth coverages by choosing waveguide element diameters, dielectric loading and lattice spacing to meet this requirement, the determination of these parameters easily determined by one skilled in the art.
WAIM performance was optimized across each frequency bandwidth and throughout the entire design scan volume, θ=0 to 60 degrees and φ=0 to 360 degrees by selecting waveguide diameters and waveguide insert dielectrics to meet the design requirements.
While the invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the invention. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the invention without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiment disclosed as the best mode contemplated for carrying out this invention, but that the invention will include all embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims.

Halle Berry ordered to pay $16,000 a month in child support
10 June 2014 [13:02] -
Halle Berry is going to need the paycheck she's getting from her upcoming TV series Extant. The Oscar-winning actress has been ordered by a Los Angeles court to pay $16,000 a month in child support to her former beau Gabriel Aubry, People reports.
The settlement, which occurred late last month, says Berry must fork over the sum to Aubry each month until their 6-year-old daughter Nahla turns 19 or graduates from high school, whichever comes first. Berry will also have to write a check for $115,000 to Aubry for retroactive support. The couple share equal custody of their daughter.
Stars who've gone bankrupt
Berry and Aubry, a Canadian model, began dating in 2005, and welcomed Nahla in early 2008. Two years later, the couple announced their split. A messy custody battle ensued when Berry tried to move Nahla to France to be with her now husband Olivier Martinez. However, the parties reached a custody agreement in late 2012 following Aubry's claim that Martinez assaulted him on Thanksgiving. Martinez and Berry wed in July 2013 andhad a son, Maceo, together three months later.

Some financial products and services are considered universal and have similar ownership rates among mass affluent investors as well as high net worth (HNW) and ultra-high net worth investors.
But others have take-up rates that increase more predictably, so the wealthier a client is the more likely they are to own them, or want advice on them.
A study by Phoenix Marketing International, which surveyed nearly 1,200 affluent UK investors during autumn 2011 and spring 2012, has unearthed a selection of products and services that a higher proportion of HNW and ultra-HNW clients own compared to mass affluent clients.
Phoenix predicts there are about 197,000 ultra-HNW households in the UK - defined as those with £1m plus in liquid wealth or investable assets – and if you offer the particular products and services these investors are attracted to, you could be on to a winner and should make sure to shout about it.
