Old Havana and its Fortification System
Old Havana and its Fortification System
Havana was founded in 1519 by the Spanish. By the 17th century, it had become one of the Caribbean's main centres for ship-building. Although it is today a sprawling metropolis of 2 million inhabitants, its old centre retains an interesting mix of Baroque and neoclassical monuments, and a homogeneous ensemble of private houses with arcades, balconies, wrought-iron gates and internal courtyards.
Vieille ville de La Havane et son système de fortifications
Fondée en 1519 par les Espagnols, La Havane est devenue au XVIIe siècle un grand centre de construction navale pour les Caraïbes. Bien qu'elle soit aujourd'hui une métropole tentaculaire de deux millions d'habitants, son centre ancien conserve un mélange intéressant de monuments baroques et néoclassiques, ainsi qu'un ensemble homogène de maisons avec des arcades, des balcons, des grilles en fer forgé et des cours intérieures.
مدينة هافانا القديمة ونظام الحصون
تأسست هافانا على يد الإسبان عام 1519 واستحالت في القرن السابع عشر مركزاً عملاقاً لبناء السفن في جزر الكاريبي. ومع أنّها أصبحت اليوم مدينةً من مليوني نسمة، إلاّ أنّ وسطها القديم يحافظ على مزيجٍ مهم من المباني ذات الطراز الباروكي والكلاسيكي الجديد، إضافةً إلى مجموعة متجانسة من المنازل بقناطرها وشرفاتها وشبابيكها المصنوعة من الحديد المطروق وساحاتها الداخليّة.

Старая Гавана и ее укрепления
Гавана была основана испанцами в 1519 г.. К XVII в. город стал одним из основных центров судостроения в Карибском регионе. И хотя сегодня Гавана представляет собой расширяющуюся во все стороны метрополию с 2 млн. жителей, ее старый центр сохраняет интересное смешение памятников барокко и классицизма, а также целостные ансамбли частных жилых домов с галереями, балконами, чугунными воротами и внутренними двориками.

Oud Havana en haar vestingwerken
Havana was de laatste stad die de Spanjaarden – in 1519 – stichten in Cuba. In 1607 werd het de hoofdstad van Cuba en tegen de 17e eeuw was het uitgegroeid tot een van de belangrijkste centra van de Caraïben voor scheepsbouw. De locatie maakte van de stad een perfect verzamelpunt voor de vloot met schatten uit Mexico en Peru op weg naar Spanje. Hoewel Havana tegenwoordig een uitgestrekte metropool van twee miljoen inwoners is, heeft het oude centrum een interessante mix van barokke en neoklassieke monumenten weten te behouden. Het is een homogeen geheel van privéhuizen met arcades, balkons, smeedijzeren poorten en binnenplaatsen.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief Synthesis
Founded about 1519 on Cuba's north-western shore, Old Havana has maintained a remarkable unity of character through its adherence to its original urban layout. Urban plazas surrounded by many buildings of outstanding architectural merit and narrow streets lined with more popular or traditional styles permeate the historic centre of the city. Its overall sense of architectural, historical and environmental continuity makes it the most impressive historical city centre in the Caribbean and one of the most notable in the American continent as a whole. With the establishment and development of the fleet system in the Spanish West Indies, Havana in the second half of the 16th century became the largest port in the region, and in the 18th century developed the most complete dockyard in the New World, both of which necessitated military protection. The extensive network of defensive installations that was created between the 16th and 19thcenturies includes some of the oldest and largest stone fortifications now standing in the Americas.
Old Havana, which is defined by the extent of the former city walls, has maintained the pattern of the early urban setting with its five large plazas, each with its own architectural character: Plaza de Armas, Plaza Vieja, Plaza de San Francisco, Plaza del Cristo and Plaza de la Catedral. Around these plazas are many outstanding buildings, including the Iglesia Catedral de La Habana, Antiguo Convento de San Francisco de Asís, Palacio del Segundo Cabo and Palacio de los Capitanes Generales. Interspersed with this mix of baroque and neoclassical style monuments is a homogeneous ensemble of private houses with arcades, balconies, wrought-iron gates and internal courtyards –many of them evocatively time-worn. The complex system of fortifications that protected Havana, its port and its dockyard is comprised of the Fortaleza de San Carlos de la Cabaña –one of the largest colonial fortresses in the Americas– on the east side of the narrow entrance canal to Havana Bay; Castillo de la Real Fuerza –one of the oldest colonial fortresses in the Americas (begun in 1558)– on the west side of the canal; and Castillo de San Salvador de la Punta and Castillo de los Tres Reyes del Morro guarding the entrance to the canal; as well as the Torreón de San Lázaro, Castillo de Santa Dorotea de Luna de la Chorrera, Reducto de Cojímar, Baluarte del Ángel, Lienzo de la Muralla y Puerta de la Tenaza, Restos de Lienzo de la Muralla, Garita de la Maestranza, Cuerpo de Guardia de la Puerta Nueva, Restos del Baluarte de Paula, Polvorín de San Antonio, Hornabeque de San Diego, Fuerte No. 4, Castillo de Santo Domingo de Atarés, Castillo del Príncipe and Fuerte No. 1.
Criterion (iv)The historic fortunes of Havana were a product of the exceptional function of its bay as an obligatory stop on the maritime route to the New World, which consequently necessitated its military protection. The extensive network of defensive installations created between the 16th and 19th centuries includes some of the oldest and largest extant stone fortifications in the Americas, among them La Cabaña fortress on the east side of the narrow entrance canal to Havana Bay, Real Fuerza Castle on the west side, and Morro castle and La Punta castle guarding the entrance to the canal.
Criterion (v) The historic centre of Havana has maintained a remarkable unity of character resulting from the superimposition of different periods in its history, which has been achieved in a harmonious yet expressive manner through adherence to the original urban layout and underlying pattern of the city as a whole. Within the historical centre of the city are many buildings of outstanding architectural merit, especially surrounding its plazas, which are set off by houses and residential buildings in a more popular or traditional style that, when considered as a whole, provide an overall sense of architectural, historical and environmental continuity that makes Old Havana the most impressive historical city centre in the Caribbean and one of the most notable in the American continent as a whole.
Within the boundaries of Old Havana and its Fortifications are located all the elements necessary to express its Outstanding Universal Value, including Old Havana's urban layout with its five large plazas and its harmonious ensemble of architectural monuments and traditional-style popular buildings from different periods in its history, and its extensive network of fortifications. Because of the historic role played by building ordinances during the 19th and 20th centuries, Old Havana's urban and architectural morphology has remained virtually unchanged. The city's 214-ha. historic centre and its fortifications are of sufficient size to adequately ensure the complete representation of the features and processes that convey the property's significance. Old Havana and its Fortifications does not suffer from adverse effects of development, though much of Old Havana's built fabric is in disrepair due to decay, chronic neglect and the natural elements.
Old Havana and its Fortifications have a high degree of authenticity in terms of location and setting, forms and designs, and materials and substances. Between the 1950s and the 1970s, certain architectural interventions and changes in use affected Old Havana's authenticity, but without reducing a clear understanding of the veracity of the ensemble and its attributes. Havana is occasionally subjected to severe tropical weather (including hurricanes, as in 2008), which can threaten the authenticity of the property.
Protection and management requirements
Old Havana and its Fortifications is largely owned by the Cuban state, with some parts owned by private individuals or legal entities. The inscribed property is protected by provisions in the Constitución de la República de Cuba (Constitution of the Republic of Cuba) of 24 February 1976 and by National Monuments Commission Resolution 3/1978 designating the historic urban centre of the old town of San Cristobal de La Habana and the system of colonial fortifications surrounding it as a National Monument, in application of the Ley de Protección al Patrimonio Cultural (Law on the Protection of Cultural Property, Law No. 1 of 4 August 1977), and the Ley de Monumentos Nacionales y Locales (Law on National and Local Monuments, Law No. 2 of 4 August 1977). National Monuments Commission Resolutions 12/1980 and 14/1980 established, respectively, a national working group responsible for the historic centre of Old Havana and its fortifications, and measures to define the limits of the historic centre and to protect its buildings by halting demolition and by planning reinforcement work. The Asamblea Provincial del Poder Popular (Provincial Assembly of People's Power) is responsible for the administration of the historic centre of Havana. A specialized institution of the Cuban Ministry of Culture provides legal, technical and administrative support for research and formulation of policies and projects for the conservation and rehabilitation of the historic centre. The Cuban state provides resources for a Five-Year Restoration Plan, which began in 1981, and ensures the viability and sustainability of the multi-year Plan by means of an agreement with the Office of the Historian of Havana (an autonomous organization of city government founded in 1938), which manages the process of rehabilitation and restoration.
Sustaining the Outstanding Universal Value of the property over time will require continuing existing programmes and processes, and establishing new initiatives as required, to ensure the proper repair and conservation of the built fabric of Old Havana that is in disrepair due to decay, chronic neglect and the elements; preparing a risk reduction and emergency preparedness plan related to severe weather and other identified or potential threats; and establishing monitoring indicators.
Long Description
Havana, last of the cities founded in Cuba by the Spanish conquistadores, had become by 1550 the most important on the island, a position that it has continued to hold. Havana was established at its present location in 1519 by the Spanish and became one of the Caribbean's main centres for shipbuilding. Its location made of the city a perfect gathering point for the annual treasure fleets bound for Spain from Mexico and Peru: Havana became the front door to the vast Spanish colonial empire, and in 1607 it became also the capital of Cuba.
In 1762, during the Seven Years' War, England seized Havana and held on to it for 11 months, then exchanging it for Florida. Newly recovered Havana was then turned into a strongly fortified city; it was also allowed to trade freely, developing and growing steadily through the 18th and 19th centuries. The city was physically untouched by the devastating wars of independence in the second half of the 18th century, making Havana easily the finest surviving Spanish complex in the Americas.
During Prohibition in the United States, Havana became a paradise for those who wanted good rum and fine cigars - at least until New Year's Eve 1959, when rebels led by Fidel Castro marched into town. Today it is a capital of about 2 million inhabitants, the largest city in the Antilles and, with its skyscraper district dominating the port, the most modern.
Despite its turbulent history, the city suffered little damage in the country's wars and revolutions, and stands today much as it was built 100 years ago or more. It is today a sprawling metropolis of 2 million inhabitants, its old centre retaining an interesting mix of Baroque and neoclassical monuments, and a homogeneous ensemble of private houses with arcades, balconies, wrought-iron gates and internal courtyards.
Many of Old Havana's finest buildings have been converted into museums, and there are churches, palaces, castles, revolutionary monuments and markets to visit; however, the renovations are only slowly extending to residential areas. The most outstanding sights include the Plaza de la Catedral, one of the most beautiful squares in the city, with the towers of the Catedral de San Cristóbal de La Habana which dominate the square. Nearby is the Castillo de la Real Fuerza, the oldest extant colonial fortress in the Americas: its west tower is crowned by a bronze weathervane dating back to 1632. La Giraldilla, as the nimble-figured wind-spinner is called, is believed to be Doña Inés de Bobadilla, waiting in vain for her husband, the explorer Hernando de Soto, who set off to Florida looking for the Fountain of Youth and died eaten by cannibals.
The royal palm-studded Plaza de Armas has been the seat of authority and power in Cuba for 400 years. The imposing Palacio de los Capitanes Generales on the west side of the square is one of Cuba's most majestic buildings: it is now the City Museum. Calle Obispo runs off the Plaza de Armas and was one of Ernest Hemingway's hangouts.
For the last several years the government of Cuba has been involved in efforts to restore to the historic centre its character of a colonial city, which has been compromised by a rapid urbanization. The fortress of La Fuerza has been restored, as have the palaces of the Segundo Cabo and of Los Capitanes Generales. The pattern of early urban setting still exists with its four large squares: Plaza de La Cathedral, Plaza de San Francisco, Plaza Vieja and Plaza de Las Armas. There is also a notable complex of 17th- to 19th-century buildings.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC

Great pair of glasses, it makes watching tv in 3D so much fun. Pros: I bought a second set of these glasses for when my friends come over to watch 3D movies or sports on my Samsung TV. They are light in weight, fit well for all size heads and work very well. They do have to be recharged often depending on your 3D viewing habits. A full charge gives about 40 hrs of viewing time. Cons: Be careful how you remove the glasses from your face. The frame tends to snap back together and touch ends. (Fear of breaking the built in hardware) The best technique to remove the glasses from your head is to use both hands to prevent the frame from snapping back. 13 out of 14 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Note: If the 3D glasses move outside of the recommended operating distance, the signal from the TV will be disconnected and the display of the 3D glasses will turn off after several seconds. If you lie on your side while watch TV with 3D glasses, the picture may look dark or may not be visible. When viewing 3D video under fluorescent lighting (50-60Hz), you may notice a small amount of screen flickering.

We need to create hash value of nvarchar data for comparison purposes.
There are multiple hash algorithms available in T-SQL, but which one the best to choose from in this scenario? We want to ensure the risk of having duplicate hash value for two different nvarchar value is the minimum. Based on my research on the internet MD5 seems the best one. Is that right?

Police are looking for the man responsible for grabbing a woman and robbing her of her purse in North Bethesda.
The incident happened at about 10:13 p.m. July 21 at the Grosvenor House apartment building parking garage at 10101 Grosvenor Place.
After parking her car, the woman had just entered a stairwell when a man grabbed her from behind, forcibly removed her purse from her shoulder and fled, according to a police news release. The woman followed the man on foot and saw him drive away in a black car with a Maryland license plate.
Police say the man is his early 40s, 5 feet 9 inches tall, with a round face, heavy build and a medium to dark complexion. He had very short black hair, and facial hair to include a mustache and longer unshaven hair on his chin. At the time of the robbery, he was wearing a short-sleeved red T-shirt, dark shorts, white gym socks that reached mid-calf, and sneakers. He had a white towel around his neck.
Detectives worked with the woman to produce a computer-generated composite drawing of the man.
"We are very much interested in getting the word out, and are asking people to call in if the composite reminds them of someone," said police spokeswoman Lucille Baur. "Whatever leads that generates will be appreciated."
Anyone who has information about this suspect or the robbery is asked to call the Second District Investigative Section at 301-657-0112. Those who wish to remain anonymous may contact Crime Solvers of Montgomery County at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477) or www.tipsubmit.com/WebTips.aspx?AgencyID=758. Crime Solvers will pay a cash reward of up to $10,000 for information provided to them that leads to an arrest and/or indictment for this crime.

We want an Incufest in Buenos Aires!!! Dream it , do it!
We've been waiting a really long time for this. We started dreaming about Incubus coming back to Argentina on October 6, 2011. Days went by, weeks went by and months went by, and one day, there was the announcement of the new INNW tour. And we waited, waited and waited and we heard there was a plan about a visit in the first quarter of 2012. But circumstances were against us at that time, and it was not possible. Then, the band announced they were going to stop for some time and do things on their own. So we thought the visit was getting further and further away. But some time during May we started to hear rumors about a new tour. And our hopes were up again!!! So private messages and tweets started to come and go between us and Ren. Each one of them raising our expectations higher and higher. Until one day, in one of the messages, Ren said: "Miracles do happen. I've heard the best month for miracles is December." We are sure of one thing: we know the best miracle worker manages our most favorite band in the world. That is why we also know we will get a second dream night in Buenos Aires. A night that could take many different forms. Like something special for true fans only. An acoustic session for a small group? Or maybe backstage passes? Or seeing the sound check next to the band? Or you, Ren, could surprise us with one of those great ideas of yours.

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality great pair of headphones for the price, and refurbished version works. easy charging mechanism; three suggestions: 1. the optical output does not work from base column to new onkyo; wish I had been told this and would have bought a more expensive onkyo. 2. must add hdmi jack to the column; this will put your product ahead of the curve. 3. the bass is good enough, but you need more if you are going to compete with the blue tooth product headphones. A certain famous person's headphones explode your head with bass on low, and this is what you need if you are going to listen to rock [klau vollmer], classic jazz [ron carter], or hiphop [2 chains] Was this review helpful?

Reminds me of the HD 600's. The range is limited but experience zero dropouts when in the same room. A shame that they cannot handle dolby or DTS. Luckily my TV will decode Dolby or DTS to stereo PCM, which the base will accept. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Avoid! Get the RS-180s instead Written By Meade, Charlottesville, VA on Tuesday, April 29, 2014 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort rating Noise Reduction Sound Quality These are Sennheiser's flagship headphone and everything about them is top notch. They are comfortable, well made, easy to use, and the base is attractive and flexible to set up. The one problem with them that absolutely RUINS them is that the transmitter cuts out & pops/hisses about every 20-30s. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not being picky about a little hiccup or slight sound imperfection; I'm saying that every 30 seconds, the sound just turns off for 1 second. It then comes back on loud and tapers back to normal. This then repeats after another 30 seconds. It's so distracting that I can't enjoy them at all. For a product at this price, this is unacceptable. I ended up trading down to the RS-180s and have been very happy. While the build quality and button layout is a little worse, I have had none of the audio issues with the RS-180s Pros: Best wireless headphones on the market when they work. But... see the cons Cons: Transmitter is garbage and Sennheiser won't acknowledge it (despite literally HUNDREDS of customers having this same experience)! Avoid this model until it gets updated or check out the RS-180s 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Good Ear Phones but with limitations Written By Mike, Orange Beach, AL on Thursday, March 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality Very good sound however one should be aware that the headphones will not work with Dolby sound. Therefore any movies from Netflix will not have sound. I missed this drawback when ordering and am sorry I did. If you were just using as a hi-fi listening device these would be great as the sound is very good. Range within the same room is very good but as with any unit will diminish when moving around and/or introducing walls into the equation. These are not meant for noise reduction and therefore the 1 star rating is not a negative. Pros: Light weight for over the ear. Good sound and bass Cons: Not compatable with DTS and Dolby sound 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great headphones w a few bugs Written By Sage, At Home on Sunday, August 04, 2013 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality These are great headphones with a few bugs. I was under the impression that I would get the entire warrantee that is offered by Sennheiser on new items but that is not the case. You get a limited warrantee that is quite different than two years. The sound they provide is excellent as far as that goes and they are designed on the Sennheiser HD 600's. You have several was to input items as far as sound goes but they will not accept any types of 5.1 or other surround sound formats. If you don't have a way to code your optical or coaxial digital output from your device into PCM they will not accept that input. They are radio frequency instead of IR so you do not need to be perfectly aligned or have people walk in front of you. They do have the occasional drop offs but the 2.4 ghz is very crowded frequency. Pros: Good sound, you can hear others as they talk to you or if your phone rings. Several ways to input sounds. Cons: Should have been shipped in the actual box not just wrapped in plastic and with a lousy warrantee. Make sure you buy an additional one. If I knew of all these little issues, I would have purchased the actual new item, not refurbished. Crutchfield response on Monday, November 04, 2013 Thanks for your review. Some units were incorrectly packed with a statement of a 90-day warranty. However, this model does come with the full 2-year warranty when purchased from Crutchfield. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sennheiser RS 220 Headphones Written By D. Wolter, NYC on Saturday, May 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality Having moved into an apartment, I wanted headphones for listening to CDs and DVDs and watching TV, so as not to disturb neighbors, especially late at night. The goal was a product with excellent quality sound that would act as a replacement for my previous sound surround system, and phones that could access Netflix, etc. from my smart HDTV. As well, wireless phones were a must, and so was comfort and ease of use for my wife and myself. After researching many wireless phones, I found that the Sennheiser RS 220's were the only ones with the necessary digital (coax and optical) audio inputs for accessing streamed material from the internet. They also have digital outputs which pass the audio to a connected unit such as a receiver. As a result, we now enjoy many movies from Netflix, as well as broadcast HDTV, with exciting, full quality audio. I must add that the audio from some Netflix movies is not available, a situation that may have something to do with the movie's soundtrack process. At any rate, those many films with receivable audio offer what I had previously with my 5.1 surround system, if in fact they were produced that way. It does, of course, depend on the source. I also listen, critically, to classical music from my Blu-ray player, and I am totally happy with the quality of sound the Sennheiser's give me. Of course it depends, again, on the source, but I hear the richness of the symphony orchestra's wonderful sound. Pros: This is a quality product, and we are very satisfied. It has met our goals. Cons: None 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sennheiser RS220 Written By GB, Reno on Monday, April 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I was very surprised at the lack of quality for the price. The RS220 lacks base and volume. I was also disappointed with the range they have. I have an old set of wireless headphones by Advent and the volume and base is greater than the RS220. The reason I purchased the RS220's was the Advent ear pads were worn out and I couldn't replace them. I should have tried to repurchase the Advent wireless, especially considering the price difference. These are also far from being noise canceling. In reverse, everyone around you can hear what you're listening to. Pros: Rich in sound Cons: Lacks base/volume/range. Also cuts out periodically. I'm not sure if any of the negative aspects are because I purchased refurbished, but I doubt it. 3 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality Having bought and returned wireless headphones in the past, I finally found a set I will keep. There is virtually faithful reproduction of music in all frequency ranges. It also has near zero latency, so there is virtually no delay.when using these headphones to listen to music you are playing/recording on a musical instrument (my main reason for purchasing). Take the headphones off the docking charging station, touch the on switches on both the station and the headset, and you are ready to listen. It has three input modes (one analog ond two digital) and even an output jack if you want to chain. On the head set are on/off, volume, balance and input selection, all remembering your last setting. Set the headset back on the dock and it charges automatically, as well as turning everything off automatically. Very comfortable to wear - lightweight (less than a pound) and couldn't be designed any better. You may wonder why these are so expensive. Don't. Just buy them. I rate these an A. Pros: Virtually perfect sound reproduction with virtually no delay. All automatic operation. Three input modes. Very very comfortable and lightweight. Cons: Be careful not to hit the input button when taking off the headset!! 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The Sennheiser RS 220 digital wireless headphone system is made up of a pair of wireless headphones (HDR 220) and a multi-purpose transmitter (TX 220) which also functions as an charging cradle and docking station. The RS 220 digital wireless headphone system offers both analog and digital audio connections. DSSS Wireless Transmission: The Sennheiser RS 220 digital wireless headphone system utilizes DSSS (direct-sequence spread spectrum) to deliver clear, clean, uncompressed audio without the need for tuning. The RS 220 is able to work in crowded RF environments amongst Bluetooth, Kleer, and Wi-Fi signals. The digital wireless headphones have a wireless range up to 300' (line of sight) from multi-purpose transmitter and up to 100' indoors. Wireless Headphones: The Sennheiser digital wireless headphones employ a dynamic transducer system with powerful neodymium magnets that deliver clear and detailed audio reproduction. The digital wireless headphones utilize an Open-Air speaker system that mimics the acoustic properties of hi-fi speakers for a truly immersing, high-quality sound. The Open-Air speaker system delivers the most natural sounding private wireless audio experience possible. The over-the-ear design also prevents sound leakage. Velour earpads and an adjustable cushioned headband provide a comfortable fit. The headphones receive their 2.4GHz wireless stereo audio signal from the included transmitter. The wireless headphones are powered by two supplied rechargeable NiMH AAA batteries (for up to 8 hrs). You can place the headphones on the multi-purpose transmitter to recharge the batteries (approx. 16 hrs). Note: The headphones can operate off of AAA alkaline (1.5V) batteries or NiMH (1.2V/800mAh) rechargeable batteries. Multi-Purpose Transmitter: The multi-purpose transmitter connects to your television's and audio system's digital or analog audio outputs and then transmits the audio signal wirelessly to the RS 220's digital wireless headphones. You can connect up to three audio sources to the transmitter. The transmitter is fitted with two digital inputs/outputs (optical & coaxial) and one analog input/output (RCA). The analog/digital outputs allow signal to be looped through the wireless headphone system, so that the transmitter can be integrated in between two connected components. The multi-purpose transmitter also functions as a charging cradle and docking station. The transmitter operates off of standard household AC current, via the included AC power adapter. Multi-Receiver Mode: Up to two Sennheiser digital wireless headphones can be connected to one transmitter so two people can listen to the same sound source. Auto Power Off: If there is no signal from the transmitter for more than three minutes, the headphones automatically switch to standby mode. If the headphones are outside the transmission range or switched to off for more than ten minutes, the transmitter automatically switches to standby mode. Controls Headset: On/Off: The On/Off button turns the digital wireless headphones On or Off. Input: The Input button lets you select between analog and digital audio sources. Balance: The Balance control allows for right/left volume adjustment. Volume: The Volume control lets you increase/decrease the volume of the headphones. Transmitter: On/Off: The On/Off button turns the digital wireless headphone system On or Off. Input: The Input button lets you select between analog and digital audio sources. Level: The Level control dial allows you to individually adjust the transmitter to your audio source in order to achieve optimum sound quality. Pair: The Pair button connects one or two digital wireless headphones to the transmitter. Connections Headset: Charging Contacts: Charging contacts are integrated into the adjustable headband that interface with charging contacts on the transmitter to charge the included AAA NiMH batteries. Transmitter: Digital Audio Inputs/Outputs: The multi-purpose transmitter is fitted with digital audio inputs and outputs (PCM only, will not accept Dolby Digital or DTS signals). There are optical (toslink) and coaxial (RCA) input and output connectors. The digital inputs provide connection to your HDTV and satellite/cable box. The digital outputs allow digital audio signals to be looped through wireless headphone system, so that the transmitter can be integrated between two existing connected components, such as your TV and home theater receiver. Analog Audio Input/Output: The multi-purpose transmitter is fitted with Stereo RCA analog audio inputs and outputs. The stereo RCA input provides connection to your HDTV or other analog source component. The stereo RCA output allows analog audio signals to be looped through wireless headphone system, so that the transmitter can be integrated into an existing connection between 2 devices, such as your TV and home stereo receiver. Charging Contacts: Charging contacts are integrated into the transmitter and interface with charging contacts on headset to charge the AAA NiMH batteries. DC Input: The DC input connects to the supplied AC adapter (Input: 100-240V~0.3A, 50-60Hz; Output: 9V-1.12A). There are 4 AC adapter plugs (US/UK/EU/AU) included.

In a Gray Area
Are your readers aware of the Ann Landers column printed a few months ago where she suggested that there be stricter regulations for diabetic drivers? This illustrates why we must develop a strong, politically-aware voice that will be heard in Congress and in political forums around the world. This is the basis for the Gray Ribbon Campaign started on the Diabetes Forum last Christmas, which is supported by many persons, as well as the JDF. We are amazed that the ADA has yet to recognize this grass roots symbol of the new diabetic community.
President Clinton was wearing a Gray Ribbon when he announced the $2.4 billion diabetes budget this year. We are very proud of this. Within eight months of its conception, the president of the United States was made aware of – and elected to wear – our ribbon.
It is my belief that a coalition of DIABETES HEALTH, Voice of the Diabetic and the "Diabetes Forum" on CompuServe can and will put diabetes back in the loop in terms of political priorities and create a force that can bring us closer to that "cure in 5 years" that we've been waiting for.
Ed Bryant
Voice of the Diabetic
Birmingham, Ala.
Editor's Reply – DIABETES HEALTH contacted Jerry Franz, vice president of communications at the ADA who replied that, though the ADA is not producing or distributing the gray ribbon, "Anything that raises diabetes awareness is a good thing."
Easier Said Than Done
I am a type 2 diabetic and I'm finding that there is very little said to address some of the disorders of this type of diabetes. One way to control type 2 is by "losing a few pounds" (up to 20). This is easier said than done. I am a fairly active 50-year-old woman going through menopause and taking Glucotrol XL (5 mg). I dread the idea of taking insulin, so the entire experience is stressful.
When I was diagnosed two years ago, I initially lost 15 pounds. Two years later, I have gained all the weight back plus a few more pounds. It is not that easy to change my eating habits after 48 years.
Am I the only person in this predicament? Can you address this or provide any news about type 2 diabetics in your newsletter? I feel alone in this.
Editor's Reply – This is an important topic you bring up. Although we cannot give a comprehensive answer, we can offer this tip:
Unfortunately, one of the side effects of the medication you are taking is weight gain. However, a side effect of the new medication, Metformin, is weight loss. Many type 2s around the world take both a Sulfonylurea (like Glucotrol) and Metformin together. You might also be helped by trying the new medications Acarbose and Rezulin. Consult your doctor about these possibilities. To learn more about Rezulin see page 8.
Stress Addressed
Regarding your September article, "Stress: Let it Go and Keep your BGs Low," I would like to add that as a person with type 1 diabetes for over 25 years, I have experienced numerous high BG levels (175 to 375) when stressed.
No amount of extra insulin will reduce my BG level if I do not change my emotional responses to the situation first. Also, reducing my stress level can drastically lower my BG level and reduce my overall requirement for insulin.

Humalog to the Rescue
I introduced my doctor at Kaiser to Humalog when it first came out, and he was enthusiastic when he read the details on the internet. Humalog is still not a regularly prescribed medicine at Kaiser, so I have to pay full price. It's worth it! As a type 1 for 43 years, I have been plagued with rather severe BG ups and downs. Humalog stops the highs very quickly and it goes away so quickly, that I don't get the rebounds. It's the perfect solution for me.
Kathie Williams
The Race Toward Research Collaboration
We would like to point out an error in the "Boundaries Being Broken" article published in August 1997.
The article started out by saying (referring to the Santa Barbara Diabetes Project) that "for the first time in history, an international panel of diabetes specialists has come together to work toward a cure." While the Santa Barbara Diabetes Project is clearly pointed in the right direction towards promoting international collaboration, the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI) left the starting block quite some time ago.
The DRI's track record in the field of collaborative research through state-of-the-art technologies goes as far back as February of 1994, when it launched its now very active DRInet – a globally-linked computer system now in its third year of flurried activity. Researchers number more than 20 and they represent the countries of France, Sweden, Germany, England, Italy, the United States, China, Brazil and Australia.
The concept is to unite scientists, each an expert in a given field, for specific research collaborations, while having each investigator remain at his/her own center.
In addition, corporate and academic investigators continue to come to the DRI to test novel approaches to improve treatment and to cure diabetes.
C. Shelton James

Simvastatin Warning
Advisory board member Richard K. Bernstein, MD, FACE, sent in the following response to the July issue article about the cholesterol- lowering drug simvastin, "Good News in the Fight Against Heart Disease". Bernstein believes the article credits its advantages in fighting heart disease, but it fails to delve into the drugs dangerous side effects.
Recently, Bernstein sent in an excerpt from Primary Care Medicine Drug Alerts regarding simvastin.
"This appears to be the first report of peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy developing in patients taking the cholesterol-lowering drug simvastatin (Zocor)."
The report (originally published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry in May 1995) discussed four patients taking simvastatin who experienced the following symptoms either soon or up to two years after starting simvastatin therapy: Weakness, fatigue, numbness in the feet, peripheral pain and paresthesias (abnormal sensation such as burning, tingling, prickling, etc.), and muscle weakness. One patient experienced an inability to walk and another needed to use a wheelchair.
The excerpt continues, "These four cases were reported in Australia, where an additional 38 cases of simvastatin-associated paresthesias and neuropathy had been reported by the end of 1993. These cases often involved effects on motor function as well as sensory symptoms.
"Patients usually recovered upon drug discontinuation. It has been suggested that simvastatin may damage peripheral nerves by blocking the synthesis of ubiquitin, an enzyme necessary for mitochondrial function." The mitochondria within cells help convert food to usable energy.
Don't Discontinue Animal Insulin!
After reading your note about Eli Lilly's plans to discontinue beef/pork insulins in 1998, I called the number you gave in the September 1997 issue of DIABETES HEALTH. I was concerned about the possibility of only having human insulin available. I was told that purified pork insulin will continue to be produced for those individuals who seem to be super sensitive to human insulin. I now use beef/pork Iletin, but I'm sure the purified pork will be an acceptable switch when I can no longer get the Iletin mix. I will, of course, check with my doctor before using the purified pork.
I also have used animal insulin for over 40 years and I find that I do not do well with the human insulin. I cannot "feel" my lows – which is not a good thing. I now have to use the human Ultralente because the animal Ultralente was pulled from the market. It's working out OK at this point. That was also a change from Protamine Zinc which I think is no longer offered.
Changes from the old reliables have not been favorable for me! I hope this is it for discontinued products; it's not fair to the persons these insulins have worked for year after year.

Kudos to the Congressional Caucus
President Clinton's recent announcement of a new bipartisan $2 billion funding commitment to diabetes prevention, treatment and research initiatives, and the expected increases in this year's annual appropriations for the NIDDK, would not be possible without the efforts of the Congressional Diabetes Caucus.
The Congressional Diabetes Caucus, which includes 94 members of the House, including outspoken diabetes advocate Speaker Newt Gingrich, was created by Congressman George Nethercutt (R-WA) and Congresswoman Elizabeth Furse (D-OR) in the spring of 1996. The mission of the bipartisan caucus is to raise awareness of the serious human and economic costs associated with diabetes, and to support research to find a cure for diabetes.
While we celebrate this new national bipartisan commitment to diabetes, we cannot let up until a cure is found for this disease. As we all know, insulin is not a cure. For this reason, I believe that every person must contact his/her Congressperson in the U.S. House of Representatives and ask him/her to join in this important bipartisan effort. If your Congressperson is already a member of the Caucus, send him/her a note thanking them for their important actions.
An updated list of current Diabetes Caucus members may be obtained from the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation International (JDFI) Internet Home Page at http://www.jdfcure.com or from the JDFI Government Relations Department at 1-800-JDF-1VOTE.

Horan Signs with PSG
Horan Signs with PSG
BREAKING NEWS 2012 07.19 – Lindsey Horan signs a professional contract with Paris Saint-Germain. Today an unprecedented signing took place in Paris, France at the world renowned football power, Paris St-Germain. Just turned 18 year old Horan, signed a six figure agreement and will forego a four year full ride scholarship at Univ. of North Carolina. Lindsey is the youngest female American player to sign with a professional club in Europe.
Jérôme de Bontin, Chairman of Rush Soccer, helped Lindsey and her family during the transaction. "First and foremost, congratulations to Lindsey. Her talent made it all possible but equally important was her commitment to joining one of the most prestigious and fastest growing soccer organizations in the world."
Jerome has been solely responsible for the introduction and the partnerships with AS Monaco, AJ Auxerre, the French Football Federation and now the signing with the young Rush prodigy. Jérômecontinues, "It is also to the credit of Tim Schulz, Founder and President of Rush Soccer for allowing Rush Players, like Lindsey, to fulfill their potential within our clubs and then opening the right doors to the top professional leagues. It is an important milestone both for the Horan family and the Rush Community."
PSG finished fourth in the French League One and with their new coaching assignment, Benstiti, are making a push to win Champions League and, of course, first place in the league. Linda Horan, Lindsey's mother, smiles, "I am happy with her decision. The club (PSG) is going to pay a portion of her schooling and that is important to me. In addition, Lindsey, her father and I agreed to put additional money from her contract into future education. I am comfortable."
Paris Saint-Germain was acquired a few years ago by a Qatari Investment Group (QSI) with the stated objectives of developing the football club as one of the top soccer organizations in Europe, both for professional men's and women's soccer.
Erik Bushey the Technical Director of Colorado Rush, "Amazing. I am elated for her. This has been a dream of hers since I can remember. Her hard work has paid off and is worthy of this great honor. By her taking a path that is less traveled, she has opened a door for others to follow. She is a good role model for our younger Rush players with the same aspirations."
Lindsey will report to preseason in Paris on July 31 and begin competition in September in the French League.
Horan was unavailable for comment.

So far I've been lucky enough to still pay the bills, several of my friends and competitors have closed up shop in the last year because of how slow it is in this area. I have been doing more in the way of repairs than anything else and trailer sales have come to almost a standstill.
Several of my landscape and lawn maintenance customers have closed up and new construction is virtually non existent around here. Several of the local packing houses are not planning on staying open much longer either. We went from having about 60 fruit packers to less than two dozen in the last couple of years.
I have a friend who owns a moving and storage company and he says that more people are moving out of the area than are moving in, seems to him most are moving to the Carolina's and out west to the New Mexico/ Arizona area.Things are getting mighty tough around here.
According to the local papers by this time last year we had 462 foreclosures, this month alone there were over 1600 in the Treasure coast area of Florida and unemployment at this time last year was at 3.8% and this year we are almost 11%. This is an area serving three counties of about 2 hundred thousand people.If necessity is the Mother of Invention, I must be the Father of Desperation!

I live just south of Memphis and until about three weeks ago work was steady but all of a sudden it has just shut down. I also do dirt work/bushogging type of stuff and the calls have stopped coming in on that also. I ramped up the advertising to no avail. I have gotten several calls from Welders looking for work. Hopefully things will settle up and get back to normal soon. A shop that I worked at part-time has closed. He had several welders working for him. Fortunately I love potted meat sandwiches.

Like i said before, we have been in business for almost 25 years, and i think this is as bad as i have seen it. We do alot of industrial work and everything is based on the dollar, we built our business on relationships, but in todays market they care more about money than quality and service. Just my thoughts. But we are still eating every day so i guess we are lucky.
Security is getting big...
I'm doing a lot of security related items... locks, gates, grilles, bars, and a lot of repair of burglary damage. Doing a lot of stuff to thwart prying of coinboxes, etc. Guess it's a sign of the times.

Around here commercial work is just picking up after about a 3 year standstill in all aspects of home and commercial real estate work ( I do both painting and welding) As far as home remodel and retail/walk-in work i haven't really seen a decline at all, as a matter of fact, everytime gas prices drop a few pennies it seems work picks up in relation. To bad crude went up 16 dollars a barrell yesterday, we might be in for another big hitDynasty 200DX

While I'm not welding business my auto shop's spring and summer was much better than last year. But September has really fallen off. My cash flow is steady and I've been able to keep my overhead down so I'm paying the bills.
On average 1-2 dealerships a month have been closing for about the last six months. Some of them have been in this area for 50 years. The paper plant down the street has cut there production in half and laid off a lot of people. On Monday I read that unemployment in California is at 7.7%.
