Power over Ethernet (PoE) definition
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology for wired Ethernet LANs (local area networks) that allows the electrical current necessary for the operation of each device to be carried by the data cables rather than by power cords. Doing so minimizes the number of wires that must be strung in order to install the network. The result is lower cost, less downtime, easier maintenance, and greater installation flexibility than with traditional wiring.

For PoE to work, the electrical current must go into the data cable at the power-supply end, and come out at the device end, in such a way that the current is kept separate from the data signal so that neither interferes with the other. The current enters the cable by means of a component called an injector. If the device at the other end of the cable is PoE compatible, then that device will function properly without modification. If the device is not PoE compatible, then a component called a picker or tap must be installed to remove the current from the cable. This "picked-off" current is routed to the power jack.
To minimize the possibility of damage to equipment in the event of a malfunction, the more sophisticated PoE systems employ fault protection. This feature shuts off the power supply if excessive current or a short circuit is detected.

Santos fights off relegation
Santos coach Duncan Crowie on Monday admitted they were under pressure given their log...
Santos coach Duncan Crowie on Monday admitted they were under pressure given their log position.
However, he was quick to say they were not panicking just yet.
The People's Team in now second from bottom on the log and is in desperate need of points to ensure their survival.
They face Platinum Stars on Wednesday.
Crowie said they were adamant they would not be relegated.
"There's a team one point ahead of us and then there are three teams five points ahead of us and we still have eight games to go. Out of the eight games, five of them will be home games. Yes, we are disappointed, as far as the possession is concerned, but I think we will get out of it."
Crowie said despite their results, his team was playing well.
"We've been playing well. If you look at the last three league games that we played, we were not outplayed. Even in our last game against Black Leopards, we had the upper hand. Unfortunately they caught us with our pants down in the second half."
The People's Team was crowned Premier Soccer League champions in the 2001/02 season.

Sharks are unbeaten in their last three Aviva Premiership fixtures having beaten Bath and Gloucester as well as securing three points in a 33-33 draw at London Irish on Easter Sunday. Sale's position in the table is remarkable when you look back to December 22ndwhen they had just six game points prior to the game at Wasps.
Northampton's leading try scorer this season is youngster Jamie Elliott who obviously likes Franklins Gardens as he has scored five of his six tries on home soil. Another player scoring tries for the Saints is former Shark Luther Burrell who has touched down five times including one last Sunday when Northampton beat London Welsh. Kicking wise Ryan Lamb has nailed his last twelve kicks at goal and has an 84% success rate.
The game is LIVE on Sky TV and kicks off at 17-45hrs.

Respond to Review of Le Potager du Marais
by Filipka
Review: I wish we were staying in Paris longer so that we could try more of the delicious looking meals served at Le Portager du Marais. I couldn't help myself from eyeing the other patrons' dishes as they were served.My dining companion and I both began with two of the yummy soups on the menu. I had the pink lentil with star anise and my partner had the French onion. The anise did not overpower the fine textured lentil purée and benefited from a little splash of soy sauce ,which was one of several condiments provided on the table. The onion soup was a real treat,as onion soup is typically made with a rich beef broth and gooey cheese. This vegan version did not disappoint. Both soups were served in very large bowls and were quite satisfying. For our main courses we had stuffed cabbage and a walnut terrine ,of sorts. Both entrees were served with a delightful medley of roasted vegetables. The ample portion of lacy cabbage was stuffed with rice and seitan then served with a nice tomato sauce. The timbale of walnut terrine had a distinctive mushroom flavor and was accented with pine nuts. A flavorful white sauce rounded out the dish and went well with the accompanying dauphinois style potatoes. Overall we had a very nice dinner. The restaurant did become quite crowded and there was only one waitress who's English was not the best and at least half the patrons spoke English which slowed down service. The prices were also a bit on the higher side..although we left with our stomachs quite full. We didn't have room for desserts although they looked and sounded great!

President Obama Announces More Key Administration Posts
May 24, 2013 by Ty Cobb, Director, HRC Global
Yesterday, the President nominated Chai Feldblum to serve a second term as a commissioner on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Her first term ends in July.
Appointments to the EEOC are critical to addressing workplace discrimination. The EEOC investigates complaints of workplace discrimination and retaliation. It is empowered to file discrimination suits against employers on behalf of alleged victims and to adjudicate claims of discrimination brought against federal agencies.
As her first term demonstrates, Ms. Feldblum is exceptionally well qualified to serve as a commissioner on the EEOC. Prior to being appointed as a commission, Ms. Feldblum was a Professor of Law at Georgetown University Law Center from 1991 to 2011, where she founded the Law Center's Federal Legislation and Administrative Clinic, a program designed to train students to become legislative lawyers. She has been a leader in the areas of disability rights, health care and LGBT policy. She is an expert on workplace policies and laws, and was a key drafter of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
As an openly lesbian woman, Ms. Feldblum is one of the many LGBT appointees in the Obama Administration. For more information on openly LGBT appointments, please visit the Presidential Appointment Project at http://www.victoryinstitute.org/presidential.

The present invention relates to X-ray tubes, to electron sources for X-ray tubes, and to X-ray imaging systems.
X-ray tubes include an electron source, which can be a thermionic emitter or a cold cathode source, some form of extraction device, such as a grid, which can be switched between an extracting potential and a blocking potential to control the extraction of electrons from the emitter, and an anode which produces the X-rays when impacted by the electrons. Examples of such systems are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,274,005 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,259,014.
With the increasing use of X-ray scanners, for example for medical and security purposes, it is becoming increasingly desirable to produce X-ray tubes which are relatively inexpensive and which have a long lifetime.
Accordingly the present invention provides an electron source for an X-ray scanner comprising electron emitting means defining a plurality of electron source regions, an extraction grid defining a plurality of grid regions each associated with at least a respective one of the source regions, and control means arranged to control the relative electrical potential between each of the grid regions and the respective source region so that the position from which electrons are extracted from the emitting means can be moved between said source regions.
The extraction grid may comprise a plurality of grid elements spaced along the emitting means. In this case each grid region can comprise one or more of the grid elements.
The emitting means may comprise an elongate emitter member and the grid elements may be spaced along the emitter member such that the source regions are each at a respective position along the emitter member.
Preferably the control means is arranged to connect each of the grid elements to either an extracting electrical potential which is positive with respect to the emitting means or an inhibiting electrical potential which is negative with respect to the emitting means. More preferably the control means is arranged to connect the grid elements to the extracting potential successively in adjacent pairs so as to direct a beam of electrons between each pair of grid elements. Still more preferably each of the grid elements can be connected to the same electrical potential as either of the grid elements which are adjacent to it, so that it can be part of two different said pairs.
The control means may be arranged, while each of said adjacent pairs is connected to the extracting potential, to connect the grid elements to either side of the pair, or even all of the grid elements not in the pair, to the inhibiting potential.
The grid elements preferably comprise parallel elongate members, and the emitting member, where it is also an elongate member, preferably extends substantially perpendicularly to the grid elements.
The grid elements may comprise wires, and more preferably are planar and extend in a plane substantially perpendicular to the emitter member so as to protect the emitter member from reverse ion bombardment from the anode. The grid elements are preferably spaced from the emitting means by a distance approximately equal to the distance between adjacent grid elements.
The electron source preferably further comprises a plurality of focusing elements, which may also be elongate and are preferably parallel to the grid elements, arranged to focus the beams of electrons after they have passed the grid elements. More preferably the focusing elements are aligned with the grid elements such that electrons passing between any pair of the grid elements will pass between a corresponding pair of focusing elements.
Preferably the focusing elements are arranged to be connected to an electric potential which is negative with respect to the emitter. Preferably the focusing elements are arranged to be connected to an electric potential which is positive with respect to the grid elements.
Preferably the control means is arranged to control the potential applied to the focusing elements thereby to control focusing of the beams of electrons.
The focusing elements may comprise wires, and may be planar, extending in a plane substantially perpendicular to the emitter member so as to protect the emitter member from reverse ion bombardment from an anode.
The grid elements are preferably spaced from the emitter such that if a group of one or more adjacent grid elements are switched to the extracting potential, electrons will be extracted from a length of the emitter member which is longer than the width of said group of grid elements. For example the grid elements may be spaced from the emitter member by a distance which is at least substantially equal to the distance between adjacent grid elements, which may be of the order of 5 mm.
Preferably the grid elements are arranged to at least partially focus the extracted electrons into a beam.
The present invention further provides an X-ray tube system comprising an electron source according to the invention and at least one anode. Preferably the at least one anode comprises an elongate anode arranged such that beams of electrons produced by different grid elements will hit different parts of the anode.
The present invention further provides an X-ray scanner comprising an X-ray tube according to the invention and X-ray detection means wherein the control means is arranged to produce X-rays from respective X-ray source points on said at least one anode, and to collect respective data sets from the detection means. Preferably the detection means comprises a plurality of detectors. More preferably the control means is arranged to control the electric potentials of the source regions or the grid regions so as to extract electrons from a plurality of successive groupings of said source regions each grouping producing an illumination having a square wave pattern of a different wavelength, and to record a reading of the detection means for each of the illuminations. Still more preferably the control means is further arranged to apply a mathematical transform to the recorded readings to reconstruct features of an object placed between the X-ray tube and the detector.
The present invention further provides an X-ray scanner comprising an X-ray source having a plurality of X-ray source points, X-ray detection means, and control means arranged to control the source to produce X-rays from a plurality of successive groupings of the source points each grouping producing an illumination having a square wave pattern of a different wavelength, and to record a reading of the detection means for each of the illuminations. Preferably the source points are arranged in a linear array. Preferably the detection means comprises a linear array of detectors extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the linear array of source points. More preferably the control means is arranged to record a reading from each of the detectors for each illumination. This can enable the control means to use the readings from each of the detectors to reconstruct features of a respective layer of the object. Preferably the control means is arranged to use the readings to build up a three dimensional reconstruction of the object.
The present invention further comprises an X-ray scanner comprising an X-ray source comprising a linear array of source points, and X-ray detection means comprising a linear array of detectors, and control means, wherein the linear arrays are arranged substantially perpendicular to each other and the control means is arranged to control either the source points or the detectors to operate in a plurality of successive groupings, each grouping comprising groups of different numbers of the source points or detectors, and to analyse readings from the detectors using a mathematical transform to produce a three-dimensional image of an object. Preferably the control means is arranged to operate the source points in said plurality of groupings, and readings are taken simultaneously from each of the detectors for each of said groupings. Alternatively the control means may be arranged to operate the detectors in said plurality of groupings and, for each grouping, to activate each of the source points in turn to produce respective readings.
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Referring to
As shown in
An anode 32 is supported between the side walls 24 b, 24 c of the housing 24. The anode 32 is formed as a rod, typically of copper with tungsten or silver plating, and extends parallel to the emitter element 18. The grid and focusing wires 20, 22 therefore extend between the emitter element 18 and the anode 32. An electrical connector 34 to the anode 32 extends through the side wall 24 b of the housing 24.
The emitter element 18 is supported in the ends 12 a, 12 b of the suppressor 12, but electrically isolated from it, and is heated by means of an electric current supplied to it via further connectors 36, 38 in the housing 24. In this embodiment the emitter 18 is formed from a tungsten wire core which acts as the heater, a nickel coating on the core, and a layer of rare earth oxide having a low work function over the nickel. However other emitter types can also be used, such as simple tungsten wire.
Referring to
All of the grid wires 20 apart from those 20 a, 20 b in the extracting pair inhibit, and even substantially prevent, the emission of electrons towards the anode over most of the length of the emitter element 18. This is because they are at a potential which is negative with respect to the emitter 18 and therefore the direction of the electric field between the grid wires 20 and the emitter 18 tends to force emitted electrons back towards the emitter 18. However the extracting pair 20 a, 20 b, being at a positive potential with respect to the emitter 18, attract the emitted electrons away from the emitter 18, thereby producing a beam 40 of electrons which pass between the extracting wires 20 a, 20 b and proceed towards the anode 32. Because of the spacing of the grid wires 20 from the emitter element 18, electrons emitted from a length x of the emitter element 18, which is considerably greater than the spacing between the two grid wires 20 a, 20 b, are drawn together into the beam which passes between the pair of wires 20 a, 20 b. The grid wires 20 therefore serve not only to extract the electrons but also to focus them together into the beam 40. The length of the emitter 18 over which electrons will be extracted depends on the spacing of the grid wires 20 and on the difference in potential between the extracting pair 20 a, 20 b and the remaining grid wires 20.
After passing between the two extracting grid wires 20 a, 20 b, the beam 40 is attracted towards, and passes between the corresponding pair of focusing wires 22 a, 22 b. The beam converges towards a focal line f1 which is between the focusing wires 22 and the anode 32, and then diverges again towards the anode 32. The positive potential of the focus wires 22 can be varied to vary the position of the focal line f1 thereby to vary the width of the beam when it hits the anode 32.
Referring to
Referring back to
The fact that the length x of the emitter 18 from which electrons are extracted is significantly greater than the spacing between the grid wires 20 has a number of advantages. For a given minimum beam spacing, that is distance between two adjacent positions of the electron beam, the length of emitter 18 from which electrons can be extracted for each beam is significantly greater than the minimum beam spacing. This is because each part of the emitter 18 can emit electrons which can be drawn into beams in a plurality of different positions. This allows the emitter 18 to be run at a relatively low temperature compared to a conventional source to provide an equivalent beam current. Alternatively, if the same temperature is used as in a conventional source, a beam current which is much larger, by a factor of up to seven, can be produced. Also the variations in source brightness over the length of the emitter 18 are smeared out, so that the resulting variation in strength of beams extracted from different parts of the emitter 18 is greatly reduced.
Referring to
In operation, an object to be scanned is passed along the Z axis, and the X-ray beam is swept along each emitter unit in turn so as to rotate it around the object, and the X-rays passing through the object from each X-ray source position in each unit detected by the sensors 52. Data from the sensors 52 for each X-ray source point in the scan is recorded as a respective data set. The data sets from each rotation of the X-ray source position can be analysed to produce an image of a plane through the object. The beam is rotated repeatedly as the object passes along the Z axis so as to build up a three dimensional tomographic image of the entire object.
Referring to
In the embodiment of
Referring to
Referring to
In operation, due to the potential difference between the emitter elements 318 and the surrounding suppressor electrode 312, which is typically less than 10V, electrons from the thoriated region 318 a of the emitter elements 318 are extracted. Depending on the potential of the respective grid element 320 located above the suppressor 312, which can be controlled individually, these electrons will either be extracted towards the grid element 320 or they will remain adjacent to the point of emission.
In the event that the grid element 320 is held at positive potential (e.g. +300V) with respect to the emitter element 318, the extracted electrons will accelerate towards the grid element 318 and the majority will pass through a aperture 321 placed in the grid 320 above the aperture 315 in the suppressor 312. This forms an electron beam that passes into the external field above the grid 320.
When the grid element 320 is held at a negative potential (e.g. −300V) with respect to the emitter 318 the extracted electrons will be repelled from the grid and will remain adjacent to the point of emission. This cuts to zero any external electron emission from the source.
This electron source can be set up to form part of a scanner system similar to that shown in
Referring to
To reduce these variations, it is possible to use a secondary oxide emitter 500 as shown in
Referring to
When a current is passed through the tungsten wire 608, the wire heats and radiates thermal energy into the surrounding nickel block 600. The nickel block 600 heats up so warming the oxide coating 602. At around 900 centigrade, the oxide coating 602 becomes an effective electron emitter.
If, using the insulated feedthrough 606, the nickel block 600 is held at a potential that is negative (e.g. −60V) with respect to the suppressor electrode 604, electrons from the oxide 602 will be extracted through the wire mesh 614 which is integral with the suppressor 604 into the external vacuum. If the nickel block 600 is held at a potential which is positive (e.g. +60V) with respect to the suppressor electrode 604, electron emission through the mesh 614 will be cut off. Since the electrical potentials of the nickel block 600 and tungsten wire 608 are insulated from each other by the insulating particles 612, the tungsten wire 608 can be fixed at a potential typically close to that of the suppressor electrode 604.
Using a plurality of oxide coated emitter blocks 600 with one or more tungsten wires 608 to heat the set of blocks 600, it is possible to create a multiple emitter electron source in which each of the emitters can be turned on and off independently. This enables the electron source to be used in a scanner system, for example similar to that of

A suppressor 604 a extends along the sides of the bocks 600 a, 600 b, 600 c and supports a wire mesh 614 a over the nickel emitter pads 603 a. The suppressor also supports a number of focusing wires 616 a which are located just above the mesh 614 a and extend across the source parallel to the nickel pads 603 a, each wire being located between two adjacent nickel pads 603 a. The focusing wires 616 a and the mesh 614 a are electrically connected to the suppressor 604 a and are therefore at the same electrical potential.
As with the embodiment of

A Hadamard transform analysis can also be made using a single source on one side of the object and a linear array of detectors on the other side of the object. In this case, instead of activating the sources in groups of different sizes, the single source is continually activated and readings from the detectors are taken in groups of different sizes, corresponding to the groups of source points 702 described above. The analysis and reconstruction of the image of the object are similar to that used for the

Referring to
Typically the Pt metal is formed into a track of 1-3 mm wide with a thickness of 10-100 microns to give a track resistance at room temperature in the range 5 to 50 ohms. By passing an electrical current through the track, the track will start to heat up and this thermal energy is dissipated directly into the AlN substrate. Due to the excellent thermal conductivity of AlN, the heating of the AlN is very uniform across the substrate, typically to within 10 to 20 degrees. Depending on the current flow and the ambient environment, stable substrate temperatures in excess of 1100 C can be achieved. Since both AlN and Pt are resistant to attack by oxygen, such temperatures can be achieved with the substrate in air. However, for X-ray tube applications, the substrate is typically heated in vacuum.
Referring to
In order to generate electrons, a series of Pt strips 932 are deposited onto the AlN substrate 920 on the opposite side of the AlN substrate to the heater 922 with their ends extending round the sides of the substrate and ending in the underside of the substrate where they form the pads 924. Typically these strips 932 will be deposited using Pt inks and subsequent thermal baking. The Pt strips 932 are then coated in a central region thereof with a thin layer of Sr;Ba;Ca carbonate mixture 918. When the carbonate material is heated to temperatures typically in excess of 700 C, it will decompose into Sr:Ba:Ca oxides—low work function materials that are very efficient electron sources at temperatures of typically 700-900 C.
In order to generate an electron beam, the Pt strip 932 is connected to an electrical power source in order to source the beam current that is extracted from the Sr:Ba:Ca oxides into the vacuum. In this embodiment this is achieved by using an assembly such as that shown in
The bases of the springs are preferably located into thin walled tubes 934 with poor thermal conductivity but good electrical conductivity that provide electrical connection to an underlying ceramic circuit board 928. Typically, this underlying circuit board 928 will provide vacuum feedthrus for the controllpower signals that are individually controlled on an emitter-by-emitter basis. The circuit board is best made of a material with low outgassing properties such as alumina ceramic.
An alternative configuration inverts the thin walled tube 934 and spring assembly 926 such that the tube 934 runs at high temperature and the spring 926 at low temperature as shown in
It is advantageous in this design to use wraparound or through-hole Pt interconnects 924 on the AlN substrate 920 between the top emission surface and the bottom interconnect point 924 as shown in
It is clear that alternative assembly methods can be used including welded assemblies, high temperature soldered assemblies and other mechanical connections such as press-studs and loop springs.
AlN is a wide bandgap semiconductor material and a semiconductor injecting contact is formed between Pt and AlN. To reduce injected current that can occur at high operating temperatures, it is advantageous to convert the injecting contact to a blocking contact. This may be achieved, for example, by growing an aluminium oxide layer on the surface of the AlN substrate 920 prior to fabrication of the Pt metallisation.
Alternatively, a number of other materials may be used in place of Pt, such as tungsten or nickel. Typically, such metals may be sintered into the ceramic during its firing process to give a robust hybrid device.
In some cases, it is advantageous to coat the metal on the AlN substrate with a second metal such as Ni. This can help to extend lifetime of the oxide emitter or control the resistance of the heater, for example.
In a further embodiment the heater element 922 is formed on the back of the emitter block 917 so that the underside of the emitter block 917 of

What does everyone use for a temp controller on your smokers?

Join Date: 10-10-12
Location: Wylie, TX
Spent some time researching what pit to get and just as much time on what temperature monitor to get. I wanted something that let me log data as well as gave me flexibility of real time viewing from smartphones or tablets.
As I have an insulated firebox I did not need something that had a fan or blowers. However research showed and was confirmed by the manufactures, that both the Guru Wifi DigiQ and the Stoker would operate without those fans/blowers.
I choose the Stoker - I have 2 pit probes and 4 meat probes. Overkill some might say but to me I'm perfectly fine with it. I can be in my kitchen or in the garage or relaxing in my chair watching Pitmasters and feel confident that I am not missing something. Or if you are in a big cook or at a comp and get caught up in something to be able to get an alert on your phone that you've got a temp problem ... nothing better.

The headline of a recent USA Today article reads, "In wake of Trayvon Martin's death, America is soul-searching" (1). And so it should be. He was a 17-year-old African-American walking back from a convenience store when he was gunned down by an overzealous and self-appointed neighborhood watch activist, George Zimmerman. The media has so far demanded that the public acknowledges that Martin was walking back to "a gated community" in Florida with Skittles in his pocket (2) (3) (4) (5) (6). The incident which occurred on February 26, just weeks after his 17th birthday, has sparked international outrage against racism and injustice. The boy was most likely racially profiled ("Fucking coons") and murdered by a much larger, much older, and better equipped member of the community who, outrageously, has yet to be charged with a crime (7).
As a media sensation, the story has forced us to examine racial tensions and prejudices in post-Obama America as well as America's amorous relationship with firearms. It's a tragedy that reflects some of the uglier aspects of our culture. Benjamin Crump, the family's attorney, praised the media's role in revealing the facts surrounding the injustice: "Thank God for the media, because I'm not sure we ever would have gotten the truth out" (8). Indeed, the media revealed another illustrative aspect of this incident in an LA Times headline that read "George Zimmerman dreamed of being a cop" (4).
The connection between Zimmerman and law enforcement is a remarkable one when we examine another murder of a young African-American male right around the same time as Martin's death. On February 2, Ramarley Graham, 18-years-old, was shot to death while unarmed in his grandmother's Bronx apartment in the vicinity of his younger brother, 6-years-old (9). If you search his name on Google, you'll find that his murder was virtually neglected when compared to Martin's murder. Trayvon Martin has hour-by-hour coverage and a Wikipedia article. Ramarley Graham's has a handful of mentions by Huffington Post and NY times (10).
Why the disparity? Graham was killed by an NYPD police officer in the narcotics enforcement division. NYPD police commissioner Ray Kelly expressed his opinion at a subsequent press conference: "At this juncture we see an unarmed person being shot. That always concerns us" (9). You might be thinking, or perhaps hoping, that the facts reveal Graham to be somehow "less innocent" than young Martin with the Skittles in his pocket. Well, of the little bits of information that have been reported, most point to the fact that the police were acting on the suspicion that Graham "might have been armed" (11) (12). On this suspicion, they followed Graham as he walked into his grandmother's apartment. There's even a video that shows that Graham, indeed, walked into the apartment (13). The police, specifically Officer Richard Haste, eventually sprinted to the door, kicked it down, and shot the boy in the chest. Apparently, Haste "believed he was in mortal danger" (14).
What were the officers doing in the first place? They're instructed to make arrests upon witnessing a drug deal. Instead, they witnessed Graham emerge from a bodega with two friends. Apparently, "something about how he moved his hands near his waist led the officers to suspect he was armed" (11). He probably had that criminal sort of gait, presumably. Indeed, the surveillance video confirms hooded sweatshirt and baggy pants. Well that was it for Ramarley Graham. The NYPD was vindicated when they found a bag of marijuana in the toilet bowl next to the body.
Both deaths are deeply tragic and grievous. And neither takes away from the significance of the other. Each case reflects deep-seated forms of racist oppression against blacks in the U.S. Yet one has clearly become more sensational than the other. To find out why, we have to examine deeper differences that have yet to be addressed.
In Trayvon Martin's case, the mode of racism is horizontal in nature. Zimmerman, a self-appointed neighborhood watchman, acted on violent inclinations filtered through misguided and dangerous stereotypes. But both were more or less members of the same socioeconomic locale. Contrastingly, in Ramarley Graham's case, the injustice was vertical in nature. Officer Haste, serving in the War on Drugs—incidentally associated with what's called the New Jim Crow—was attempting to make a low-level marijuana arrest. Haste may or may not have been a parallel incarnation of Zimmerman, who "dreamed of being a cop." His gun, however, was issued to him by the city of New York. Furthermore, his neighborhood watch was not self-appointed; rather, it was authoritatively commanded.
The top-down institutional nature of the Graham tragedy makes it indirectly a class issue. Graham was targeted by the police because he was black and in the Bronx, hallmarks of the insurgent in the War on Drugs. However, class incongruities do not fit the narrative of the mainstream corporate-owned media. You're not supposed to think about institutional oppression. Bitterness and suspicion needs to be aimed around you, not above you. It's your neighbor that's bankrupting the country, stealing your job, and murdering children. Because of him/her, your gated community is no longer safe.
The juxtaposition of these two tragedies demonstrates how effectively the media can selectively channel righteous indignation in a way that serves elite interest. The murders of Graham and Martin are equally monstrous, but there's no question that a state-sponsored homicide is uglier and more deeply unsettling than one committed by a local fanatic.

Doris Day was the major female recording star of the 1950's ( when combining singles, albums, jukebox and air play and sheet music sales). No one has broken her record as the Top Female Box Office Star of All Time. The Grammys set the record straight with a Lifetime Achievement Award a few years ago. The LAFCA (Los Angeles Film Critics Association)
One day, The Oscars and the Kennedy Center Honors will get their omissions corrected; too bad, thus far, it is not while Doris could still appreciate it, despite petitions and calls from respected people all over the world, as well as special facebook pages devoted to this effort.
Songsandmemories.com (formerly sampod4u.com)
Some of the recorded messages will also be aired on Mike's Radio Show (see website navigation menu for details), along with much of Doris Day's Music that day.

We met friends for a birthday picnic and all families involved enjoyed the Superworm trail and music trail. It was an amazing family day out...and the children LOVED the adventure playground area for hours.
Thank you.

Another lovely day with friends at High Lodge on Monday. No matter how many times we visit there always seems to be something new to see or do!
Wanted to say a particular thanks to the two members of staff who helped me when my car wouldn't start. Above and beyond the call of duty! It was greatly appreciated.
Jayne Ramsay , 12/Aug/2015
When will the new park be opening?
Forestry Commission Response
We do not have a new park opening but there has been a delay in our new Treehouse being opened to the public. This is due to operational issues which we hope will be resolved in early autumn.
Please tell us about your visit

Exactly what I wanted Kim from Bronx, NY on 10/01/2014 – Verified Buyer
This a a great chair! Comfortable, stylish and durable. I wanted something nice yet affordable and I did not want anything "too commercial" looking because it was for my home office. This chair fits perfect with my decor and color scheme. I purchased the green chair which is pretty close to a 'forest green' and it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. It blends nicely with the light sea-foam walls and dark wood floors and furniture. I get compliments on this chair often and I'm very pleased with this purchase. Also, it was very easy to assemble!

Perfect if you aren't picky A.B. from AL on 01/10/2015 – Verified Buyer
Good price. My husband likes that it tilts. I think the seat is a little flat and needs more support. My husband thinks it is fine. If you like a chair with firm support, this chair is not for you. If you are not picky about cushioning, this chair would be fine. It does seem to be holding up well.

Perfect for our home office Amanda from Katy, TX on 03/02/2015 – Verified Buyer

Good looking chair Judy Vollmar from Walshville, IL on 09/10/2012 – Verified Buyer
The chair was easy enough to assemble and the material is very nice. I got the red and it is a little more purple than I anticipated but fine. I have two issues that keep it from being a perfect chair - it is a bit low. I am only 5'4 and at the highest setting, my feet are just flat on the floor. I like to sit with my feet on the bottom part of the chair and to do that my legs are folded under me. I don't think it would work for a tall person at all. The other think is when you lean back, it just clunks back, not a smooth recline. Looks great though and the seat and arms are comfortable.

"I discovered the company to be very ignorant in most things and unappreciative of hard work. "
- Work/Life Balance
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
I worked at Bright Now Dental full-time (Less than a year)
Some of the people were nice.
*When I worked there, I came upon issues which I brought to the attention of management. They didn't seem to care about the issues nor show any desire or interest to try and fix them. *I spent my time investing in details of my work in order to better advise my supervisors, whom didn't seem to care. I did receive recognition for my hard work but, in the end, I felt as though it meant nothing. *The pay wasn't the best. *If you are looking for a rewarding position with a great company, you will most likely not find it here. *Reports on car break-ins and car damages while in parking structure. *Reports of stalkers following women out to their cars. *Shady people walking the property.
Advice to Management
*Start listening to your employees more. *Recognize hard work. *Learn to be more ethical and care more about unresolved issues. Once issues are fixed both the customers and the employees will be more happy. *Finally, look into better security for your building and parking structure.

Poor office management; staff treated poorly - like we are just disposable...rudeness to doctors
Advice to Management
Focus more on G3 for employees
Helpful (2)No opinion of CEO
The people are fun and kind. There is a good amount of diversity in the company which gives a sense of equality. Supervisors in my department and other departments seem fit for their positions. They show care and concern for their work and take time out of their day to listen to subordinate concerns. An open door policy shows good faith and helps build trust between supervisors and their subordinates. They also allow departments to briefly celebrate employee birthdays, which gives a nice little break for everyone to relax so they can take time to reset and re-energize before jumping back into the work.
The company lack concern for their customers. While working as a collector they tend to ignore many of the financial concerns of the patients. Office Managers at the BrightNow! Dental offices are said to have been ignorant of their patients concerns and let issues go unresolved. Bills then go unpaid and land in the collections department where collectors are unable to collect since there is a pending dispute. Many of these disputes would be resolved very easily if the managers in charge would take time to address the issues. The managers say they lack time and they have other priorities that come first. Then the patient bills go to the credit bureaus, hurting the credit of their patients, though the patients are more than willing to pay if they get their concerns addressed.
Advice to Management
There is no excuse to not have time to help out your patients/customers! Patients are your business and when issues arise from the treatment or billing issues, they should be addressed immediately. Patients should not feel alone in resolving these matters. If management lacks the time to do it then they need to hire someone else to assist the patients in the office for billing purposes and complaints.
