Description: The Quay West building in Trafford Park, Manchester was built for the Peel Holdings Head Office. Peel own most of the land along the Ship Canal as well as other buildings and land in the country. However when Peel build the Trafford Centre, they catered for a new Head Office in the Trafford Centre. The Building is used today to home a number of businesses The building is wonderful to look at as all the Glass is of a bronze colour. Looks like Royal mail is delivering the post.

Who are you? When you start to explore this question, you find out how elusive it really is. Are you a physical body? A collection of experiences and memories? A partner to relationships? Each time you consider aspects of yourself, you realize that there is much more to you than any of these can define. In this book, spiritual teacher Michael Singer explores the question of who we are and arrives at the conclusion that our identity is to be found in our consciousness, the fact of our ability to observe ourselves and the world around us. By tapping into traditions of meditation and mindfulness, Singer shows how the development of consciousness can enable us all to dwell in the present moment and let go of painful thoughts and memories that keep us from achieving happiness and self-realization. Divided into five parts, the book offers a frank and friendly discussion of consciousness and how we can develop it. In part one, he examines the notion of self and the inner dialogue that all of us live with. Part two examines the experience of energy as it flows through us and works to show readers how to open their hearts to the energy of experience that permeates their lives. Ways to overcome tendencies to close down to the rest of the world are the subject of part three. Enlightenment and the embrace of universal consciousness are the subject of part four. And finally, in part five, Singer returns to daily life and the pursuit of "unconditional happiness." Throughout, the book maintains a light and engaging tone, free from heavy dogma and prescriptive religious references. The easy exercises that figure in each chapter help readers experience the ideas that Singer presents.

Angels Acquire Collin Cowgill From Mets
Decorated Soldier Reunited With Family During Rose ParadePASADENA (CBSLA.com) — A decorated soldier originally from Michigan was reunited with his family Tuesday in a heartwarming moment captured by cameras and witnessed by millions during the 124th Tournament of Roses Parade. Army Sgt. First Class Eric Pazz was riding on the "Canines of Courage" float sponsored by Natural Balance Pet Foods Tuesday when he was reunited with his wife Miriam and four-year-old son, Eric Jr. Both were watching the parade from the grandstands after winning seats. They were under the impression that 32-year-old Pazz, who was deployed, was still in Afghanistan. Video of the parade shows the heartwarming scene as Eric Jr. runs toward his father and the announcer says, "he sees Daddy. he had no idea." After the reunion, his family joined him on the float for the remainder of the parade.
NEW YORK (AP) — The Los Angeles Angels acquired outfielder Collin Cowgill from the New York Mets for minor leaguer Kyle Johnson on Tuesday.
The spunky Cowgill started in center field for the Mets on opening day and hit a grand slam, but was unable to build on his big start and was demoted to the minors in early May. After being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on June 11, he was designated for assignment a week later.
The 27-year-old Cowgill batted .180 with two home runs and eight RBIs in 23 games for New York. He is a .237 career hitter with four home runs and 26 RBIs in 97 major league games during three seasons with the Diamondbacks, Athletics and Mets. He has played all three outfield positions.
The Angels said Cowgill will be optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake. To make room for him on the 40-man roster, they transferred reliever Ryan Madson from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day DL.
Johnson, 23, was hitting .310 with two homers, 30 RBIs and 30 stolen bases in 68 games with Class-A Burlington in the Midwest League. The Mets said they will send the outfielder to Class-A Savannah of the South Atlantic League.
Johnson was drafted in the 25th round by the Angels last year out of Washington State.

Payment information is not entered, therefore it is not cached.
People just love to bash Apple Inc. I guess that comes with success. The latest is concern over a security matter with the iPhone.
The iPhone caches everything entered through its keyboard for as long as a year before it's deleted. This helps the mobile device automatically suggest words when typing to speed data input. It's a very helpful tool. End of story.
Well, I guess that's not the end of the story. The concern is that if you enter your credit card number it will be cached and as a result become a potential target for theft. This concern overlooks one major fact: Most retailers in mobile today either do not require you to enter any personally identifiable information or are moving to such a system.
Here's how mobile checkout is shaking out. I place my DVD into the Shopping Cart. I press Checkout. I enter my e-commerce account user name and password. I confirm that my default payment, shipping and billing information be used and press Buy. I'm done. No payment card or other personal information was entered into the mobile device.
First-time customers can create an account via mobile, and then yes, the payment card information is being tapped into the keyboard and cached. The number of people willing to go through the entire process of setting up an account with a retailer on a mobile device I believe is extraordinarily small. But yes, their card information is cached.
The point is, to be successful in mobile commerce, you can't have a checkout experience that requires a shopper to enter payment, shipping and billing information. It's too much work. People expect an optimized experience on mobile, and that includes an optimized checkout. And retailers know this, which is why they are creating checkout systems that don't require personal information.
In the rush to mobile, and there certainly is a rush on, retailers should not overlook security. And that's a big reason, in addition to speeding checkout to increase conversion, why retailers are enabling checkout with just a couple of swipes of the finger.
They want to browse online, continue their search on mobile websites and complete a purchase ...

The present invention relates, in general, to downhole telemetry and, in particular to, the use of electromagnetic repeaters for communicating information between downhole locations and surface equipment.
Without limiting the scope of the present invention, its background will be described with reference to transmitting downhole data to the surface during completion and production, as an example. The principles of the present invention, however, are applicable throughout the utilization of the well including, but not limited to, drilling, logging and testing the well.
In the past, a variety of communication and transmission techniques have been attempted in order to provide real time data from downhole locations to the surface during the completion and the production process. The ability to obtain real time data transmission provides substantial benefits during operations that enable increased control of these processes. Continuous monitoring of downhole conditions allows for a timely response to possible well control problems and improves operational response to problems or potential problems allowing for the optimization of production parameters. For example, monitoring of downhole conditions allows for an immediate response to the production of water or sand.
Multiple types of telemetry systems have been utilized in attempts to provide real time downhole data transmission. For example, systems have utilized pressure pulses, insulated conductors and acoustic waves to telemeter information. Additionally, electromagnetic waves have been used to transmit data between downhole locations and the surface. Electromagnetic waves are produced by inducing an axial current into, for example, the production casing. The electromagnetic waves include an electric field and a magnetic field, formed at right angles to each other. The axial current impressed on the casing is modulated with data causing the electric and magnetic fields to expand and collapse thereby allowing the data to propagate and be intercepted by a receiving system. The receiving system is typically connected to the ground or sea floor where the electromagnetic data is picked up and recorded.
As with any communication system, the intensity of the electromagnetic waves is directly related to the distance of transmission. Consequently, the greater the distance of transmission, the greater the loss of power and hence the weaker the received signal. Typically, downhole electromagnetic telemetry systems must transmit the electromagnetic waves through the earth's strata. In free air, the loss is fairly constant and predictable. When transmitting through the earth's strata, however, the amount of signal received is dependent upon the skin depth (δ) of the media through which the electromagnetic waves travel. Skin depth is defined as the distance at which the power from a downhole signal will attenuate by a factor of 8.69 db (approximately seven times decrease from the initial power input), and is primarily dependent upon the frequency (f) of the transmission and the conductivity (τ) of the media through which the electromagnetic waves are propagating. For example, at a frequency of 10 Hz, and a conductance of 1 mho/meter (1 ohm-meter), the skin depth would be 159 meters (522 feet). Therefore, for each 522 feet in a consistent 1 mho/meter media, an 8.69 db loss occurs. Skin depth may be calculated using the following equation.
Skin Depth=δ=1/√(Πfμτ)
f=frequency (Hz);
μ=permeability (4Π�106); and
τ=conductance (mhos/meter).
As should be apparent, the higher the conductance of the transmission media, the lower the frequency must be to achieve the same transmission distance. Likewise, the lower the frequency, the greater the distance of transmission with the same amount of power.
A typical electromagnetic telemetry system that transmits electromagnetic waves through the earth's strata may successfully propagate through ten (10) skin depths. In the example above, for a skin depth of 522 feet, the total transmission and successful reception depth would be approximately 5,220 feet. Since many, if not most wells are substantially deeper, systems utilizing electromagnetic waves as a means of transmitting real time downhole data typically involve the use of repeaters to receive, clean up and retransmit to the surface or to the next repeater.
Proposed downhole electromagnetic repeaters have been large, expensive, cumbersome devices that typically form a joint in the pipe string. The cost of such devices typically necessitated that the device be retrieved after use. Further, the installation or removal of such devices is time consuming and expensive due to the need for a rig to trip the pipe string into or out of the wellbore.
Therefore, a need has arisen for an economical system that is capable of real time telemetry of data between downhole equipment and surface equipment in a deep or noisy well using electromagnetic waves to carry the information. A need has also arisen for such a system that is easily installed and that uses inexpensive electromagnetic repeaters for the relaying of electromagnetic transmissions which may remain in the wellbore following use.
The present invention disclosed herein includes an apparatus, system and method for communicating real time information between surface equipment and downhole equipment using electromagnetic waves to carry the information. The electromagnetic signal repeater described herein is economical, simple in operation, easily installed and adaptable with other electromagnetic repeaters in order to provide an inexpensive and disposable system. Due to the low cost of the apparatus, there is no economic need to retrieve the device for reuse. As such, the repeater of the present invention serves to reduce expensive rig time and provides convenient, economical telemetry of information between downhole locations and the surface.
The electromagnetic signal repeater of the present invention comprises a housing that is securably mountable to the exterior of a pipe string that is disposed in a wellbore. The housing includes first and second housing subassemblies. The first housing subassembly is electrically isolated from the second housing subassembly by a gap subassembly that has a length that is at least two times the diameter of the housing. The first housing subassembly is electrically isolated from the pipe string and is secured to the pipe string with a nonconductive strap. The second housing subassembly is electrically coupled with the pipe string and is secured to the pipe string with a conductive strap. The repeater of the present invention may, therefore, receive electromagnetic input signals carrying information. The repeater of the present invention may also impress an axial current in the pipe string to generate an electromagnetic output signal carrying the information.
An electronics package and a battery pack are disposed within the housing. The electronics package receives, processes and retransmits the information. The electronics package may include a limiter, a preamplifier, a notch filter, a bandpass filter, a frequency to voltage converter, a voltage to frequency converter and a power amplifier. Alternatively, the electronics package may include a limiter, a preamplifier, a notch filter, a bandpass filter, a phase lock loop, a series of shift register and a power amplifier.
In the system of the present invention, the electromagnetic signal repeater is communicably coupled to a downhole device for receiving and transmitting electromagnetic signals and a surface device for receiving and transmitting electromagnetic signals. In such a configuration, the system of the present invention provides for communication from the surface downhole, from downhole to the surface and for two way communications between surface equipment and downhole equipment.
The method of the present invention comprises securably mounting an electromagnetic signal repeater, including a housing having first and second housing subassemblies, to the exterior of a pipe string that is disposed in a wellbore. The method includes electrically isolating the first housing subassembly from the second housing subassembly and the pipe string and electrically coupling the second housing subassembly with the pipe string. The first and second housing subassemblies may be electrical isolation by disposing a gap subassembly therebetween. The first housing subassembly may be secured to the pipe string with a nonconductive strap while the second housing assembly may be secured to the pipe string with a conductive strap.
The method of the present invention also includes receiving an electromagnetic input signal carrying information, processing the information in an electronics package disposed within the housing and retransmitting the information by generating an electromagnetic output signal. The electronics package is powered by a battery disposed within the housing. Processing the information within the electronics package may include filtering the information, storing the information and amplifying the information. Generating the electromagnetic output signal may include impressing an axial current in the pipe string.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention, including its features and advantages, reference is now made to the detailed description of the invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a telemetry system utilizing an electromagnetic signal repeater of the present invention;

While the making and using of various embodiments of the present invention are discussed in detail below, it should be appreciated that the present invention provides numerous applicable inventive concepts which can be embodied in a wide variety of specific contexts. The specific embodiments discussed herein are merely illustrative of specific ways to make and use the invention, and do not limit the scope of the invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a communication system including an electromagnetic signal generator and a plurality of electromagnetic signal repeaters for use with an offshore oil and gas drilling platform is schematically illustrated and generally designated 10. A semi-submergible platform 12 is centered over a submerged oil and gas formation 14 located below sea floor 16. A subsea conduit 18 extends from deck 20 of platform 12 to wellhead installation 22 including blowout preventers 24. Platform 12 has a hoisting apparatus 26 and a derrick 28 for manipulating tubing string 30, positioned inside wellbore 32 during completion operations. Wellbore 32 may be cased or uncased, depending upon the particular application, the depth of the well, and the strata through which the wellbore extends. In some applications, wellbore 32 will be partially cased, i.e., the casing will extend only partially down the length of wellbore 32.
Attached to the tubing string 30 are electromagnetic signal repeaters 34, 36 for providing communication between one or more sensors 40 and the surface. During the completion phase, various tasks are performed such as well perforation, formation testing, packer setting and the placement of various tools and downhole equipment. The placement and operation of these devices may be monitored by one or more sensors 40 located at selected locations along tubing string 30. Parameters such as pressure and temperature as well as a variety of other environmental and formation information may be obtained by sensors 40. The signal generated by sensors 40 may typically be an analog signal, which is normally converted to a digital data format before electromagnetic transmission utilizing 1's and 0's for information transmission.
The signal is sent to electronics package 42 that may include electronic devices such as an on/off control, a modulator, a microprocessor, memory and amplifiers. Electronics package 42 is typically powered by a battery pack which may include a plurality of batteries, such as nickel cadmium or lithium batteries, which are configured to provide proper operating voltage and current.
Once the frequency, power and phase output is established, the signal carrying the information is forwarded to electromagnetic transmitter 44 that generates electromagnetic wave fronts 46 which propagate through the earth. Transmitter 44 may be a direct connect to tubing string 30 or may electrically approximate a transformer.
As illustrated, in FIG. 1 the electromagnetic wave fronts 46 are picked up by a receiver of repeater 34 located uphole from transmitter 44. Repeater 34 is spaced along drill string 30 to receive the electromagnetic wave fronts 46 while electromagnetic wave fronts 46 remain strong enough to be readily detected. As electromagnetic wave fronts 46 reach repeater 34, a current is induced in the receiver that carries the information originally obtained by sensors 40.
Repeater 34 includes an electronic package that processes the electrical signal that is produced by the receiver as will be more fully described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. After processing, the electrical signal is passed to a transmitter that generates electromagnetic wave fronts 48. Repeater 36 may operate in the manner described above with reference to repeater 34 by receiving electromagnetic wave fronts 48, processing the induced current in an electronics package and generating electromagnetic wave fronts 50 that are received by electromagnetic pick up device 64 on sea floor 16. Electromagnetic pickup device 64 may sense either the electric field or the magnetic field of electromagnetic wave front 50 using an electric field sensor 66 or a magnetic field sensor 68 or both.
The electromagnetic pickup device 64 serves as a transducer transforming electromagnetic wave front 50 into an electrical signal using a plurality of electronic devices. The electrical signal may be sent to the surface via electric wire 70 that is attached to buoy 72 and onto platform 12 for further processing via electric wire 74. Upon reaching platform 12, the information originally obtained by sensors 40 is further processed making any necessary calculations and error corrections such that the information may be displayed in a usable format.
Even though FIG. 1 depicts two repeaters 34, 36 it should be noted by one skilled in the art that the number of repeaters located along drill string 30 will be determined by the depth of wellbore 32, the noise level in wellbore 32 and the characteristics of the earth's strata adjacent to wellbore 32. As should be appreciated by those skilled in the art, electromagnetic waves are subject to diminishing attenuation with increasing distance from the wave source at a rate that is dependent upon, among other factors, the composition characteristics of the transmission medium and the frequency of transmission. Consequently, electromagnetic signal repeaters, such as electromagnetic signal repeaters 34, 36 may be positioned between 2,000 and 5,000 feet apart along the length of wellbore 32. Thus, if wellbore 32 is 15,000 feet deep, between two and six electromagnetic signal repeaters such as electromagnetic signal repeaters 34, 36 may be desirable.
Additionally, while FIG. 1 has been described with reference to transmitting information uphole during a completion operation, it should be understood by one skilled in the art that repeaters 34, 36 may be used during all phases of the life of wellbore 32 including, but not limited to, drilling, logging, testing and production. Also, it should be noted that repeaters 34, 36 may be mounted, not only on tubing string 30, but also on drill pipe, casing, coiled tubing and the like.
Further, even though FIG. 1 has been described with reference to one way communication from the vicinity of sensors 40 to platform 12, it will be understood by one skilled in the art that the principles of the present invention are applicable to communication from the surface to a downhole location or two-way communication. For example, a surface installation may be used to request downhole pressure, temperature, or flow rate information from formation 14 by transmitting electromagnetic signals downhole which would again be received, processed and retransmitted as described above with reference to repeaters 34, 36. Sensors, such as sensors 40, located near formation 14 receive the request and obtain the appropriate information which would then be returned to the surface via electromagnetic wave fronts 46 which would again be amplified and transmitted electromagnetically as described above with reference to repeater 34, 36. As such, the phrase "between surface equipment and downhole equipment" as used herein encompasses the transmission of information from surface equipment downhole, from downhole equipment uphole, or for two-way communications.
Whether the information is being sent from the surface to a downhole destination or a downhole location to the surface, electromagnetic wave fronts such as electromagnetic wave fronts 46, 48, 50, may be radiated at varying frequencies such that the appropriate receiving device or devices detect that the signal is intended for the particular device. Additionally, repeaters 34, 36 may include blocking switches which prevent the receivers from receiving signals while the associated transmitters are transmitting.
In FIG. 2, electromagnetic repeater 34 of the present invention is illustrated. Repeater 34 is contained within a tubular two-piece pressure housing assembly 102. The pressure housing 102 includes an upper pressure housing subassembly 104 having a ground potential and a lower pressure housing subassembly 106 with a positive electrical potential. An insulated gap area 108, of predetermined length is provided between the upper and lower pressure housing subassemblies 104, 106 to provide electrical isolation therebetween. As illustrated in FIG. 3, repeater 34 may be strapped or fastened to the exterior of tubing string 30. Although pressure housing assembly 102 of repeater 34 has been illustrated as an axially extending tubular enclosure, other geometries for pressure housing 102 may be possible and are considered to fall within the scope of the invention.
It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the use of directional terms such as above, below, upper, lower, upward, downward, etc. are used in relation to the illustrative embodiments as they are depicted in the Figures, the upward direction being toward the top of the corresponding Figure and the downward direction being toward the bottom of the corresponding Figure. It is to be understood that repeater 34 may be operated in vertical, horizontal, inverted or inclined orientations without deviating from the principles of the present invention.
The upper and lower housing subassemblies 104 and 106 may be fabricated from an electrically conductive material such as a standard electrically conductive steel. Upper pressure housing subassembly 104 is provided with an insulating layer 110 on the side of repeater 34 that would normally make contact with tubing string 30 as depicted in FIG. 3. The insulating layer 110 electrically isolates the upper housing subassembly 104 of repeater 34 to prevent a direct electrical short circuit from occurring between repeater 34 and tubing string 30 that would inhibit the propagation of electromagnetic wave fronts 48 launched by repeater 34. Insulating layer 110 may be an impact-resistant material such as reinforced glass-impregnated cross-linked polymers, e.g., fiberglass, or similar material. A portion 112 of the upper housing subassembly 104 is not insulated and is placed on the side opposite the tubing string 30, thereby providing a clear circuit for the launching of electromagnetic wave fronts 48 from repeater 34.
The upper pressure housing subassembly 104 is separated from the lower housing subassembly 106 by an electrically isolated area or gap 108. It has been found that the longitudinal length of the gap 108 is an important consideration in the design of the repeater 34. Preferably, the gap 108 is between two (2) and five (5) times the diameter of the pressure housing assembly 102 to insure proper launching and transmission of electromagnetic wave fronts 48.
As best illustrated in FIG. 2, the battery or battery pack 126 is contained in the upper housing subassembly 104 with the electronics package 127 contained within the lower housing subassembly 106. A negative electrical connection is made to the upper housing subassembly 104, with modulated electromagnetic output being connected to the lower housing subassembly 106. The lower housing subassembly 106 makes direct electrical contact with tubing string 30. The upper housing subassembly 104 is fastened to tubing string 30 with a non-conductive fastener 120 such as a fiberglass strap, while the lower housing subassembly 106 is clamped to tubing string 30 with a conductive strap 122. Alternatively, the upper pressure housing subassembly 104 may be connected to tubing string 30 with a metallic strap, in which case, insulation is provided between the strap and tubing string 30 to electrically isolate the upper housing subassembly 104 from tubing string 30.
When repeater 34 receives a transmission and is instructed to retransmit the signal, a current is generated which, because the lower pressure housing subassembly 106 is in electrical contact with the pipe, is impressed on the tubing string 30. This, in turn, generates an axial current in the tubing string 30 to produce electromagnetic waves, such as electromagnetic wave fronts 48 of FIG. 1 to carry the modulated signal to repeater 36.
Referring now to FIG. 4, the battery 126 disposed within upper housing subassembly 104 and electronics package 127 disposed within lower housing subassembly 106 are connected by one or more connectors 128 in a modular design that enables rapid and convenient exchange of the battery 126 or electronics package 127. Additionally, the battery 126 and electronics package 127 are protected by shock plugs 130 to reduce the probability of damage from shock and vibrations in a downhole environment when the unit is installed or during production operations.
Referring next to FIGS. 5A-5B, the upper housing subassembly 104 and lower housing subassembly 106 of the repeater 34 of the present invention are each terminated with end plugs such as bull nose plugs 116 or 116' which may be threadably engaged with the upper and lower housing subassemblies 104, 106. The bull nose plugs 116, 116' include a seal, such as an O-ring 118 to seal against downhole pressure. The use of bull nose plugs 116, 116' also provides easy access to the internal components of repeater 34.
Referring now to FIG. 6 and with reference to FIG. 1, the pass through processing method of the present invention is depicted in a block diagram generally designated 200. Electromagnetic wave fronts 46 from transmitter 44 are received by receiver 202. The induced current representing the signal is fed to a limiter 204. Limiter 204 may include a pair of diodes for attenuating the noise in the signal to a predetermined range, such as between about 0.3 and 0.8 volts. The signal is then passed to amplifier 206 which may amplify the signal to a predetermined voltage, acceptable for circuit logic, such as 5 volts. The signal is then passed through a notch filter 208 to shunt noise at a predetermined frequency, such as 60 hertz which is a typical frequency for electrical noise in the United States whereas a European application may have a 50 hertz notch filter. The signal then enters a bandpass filter 210 to eliminate noise above and below the desired frequency and to recreate the original waveform having the original frequency, for example, two hertz.
The clarified signal from bandpass filter 210 is then passed to a frequency-to-voltage converter 212 and subsequently to a voltage-to-frequency converter 214 for modulation. The signal strength is then increased in power amplifier 216 and passed on to electromagnetic transmitter 218. Thus, electronics package 200 cleans up and amplifies the signal to reconstruct the original waveform, compensating for losses and distortion occurring during the transmission of electromagnetic wave fronts 46 through the earth. Transmitter 218 transforms the electrical signal into an electromagnetic signal such as electromagnetic wave fronts 48, which are radiated into the earth to be detected by repeater 36.
Referring now to FIG. 7 and with reference to FIG. 1, a digital method to process the information within repeater 34 of the present invention is illustrated and generally designated 300. Electromagnetic wave fronts 46 from transmitter 44 are detected by receiver 302. The induced current representing the signal is fed to a limiter 304. Limiter 304 may include a pair of diodes for attenuating the noise in the signal to a predetermined range, such as between about 0.3 and 0.8 volts. The signal is then passed to amplifier 306 which may amplify the signal to a predetermined voltage, acceptable for circuit logic, such as 5 volts. The signal is then passed through a notch filter 308 to shunt noise at a predetermined frequency, such as 60 hertz which is a typical frequency for electrical noise in the United States whereas a European application may have a 50 hertz notch filter. The signal then enters a bandpass filter 310 to eliminate noise above and below the desired frequency and to recreate the original waveform having the original frequency, for example, two hertz.
The signal is then fed through a phase lock loop 312 that is controlled by a precision clock 314 to assure that the signal passing through bandpass filter 310 has the proper frequency and is not simply noise. As the signal will include a certain amount of carrier frequency first, phase lock loop 312 is able to verify that the received signal is, in fact, a legitimate signal and not merely extraneous noise. The signal then enters a series of shift registers that perform a variety of error checking features.
Sync check 316 reads, for example, the first six bits of the information carried in the signal. These first six bits are compared with six bits that are stored in comparator 318 to determine whether the signal is carrying the type of information intended for a repeater such as repeater 34. For example, the first six bits in the preamble to the information carried in electromagnetic wave fronts 46 must carry the code stored in comparator 318 in order for the signal to pass through sync check 316. Each of the repeaters of the present invention, such as repeaters 34, 36, will require the same code in comparator 318.
If the first six bits in the preamble correspond with that in comparator 318, the electrical signal passes to a repeater identification check 320. Identification check 320 determines whether the information received by a specific repeater is intended for that repeater. The comparator 322 of repeater 34 will require a specific binary code while comparator 322 of repeater 36 will require a different binary code.
After passing through identification check 320, the signal is shifted into a data register 324 which is in communication with a parity check 326 to analyze the information carried in the signal for errors and to assure that noise has not infiltrated and abrogated the data stream by checking the parity of the data stream. If no errors are detected, the signal is shifted into one or more storage registers 328. Storage registers 328 receive the entire sequence of information and either passes the electrical signal directly into power amplifier 330 or stores the information for a specified period of time determined by timer 332. In either case, after the signal is passed through power amplifier 330, transmitter 334 transforms the signal into an electromagnetic signal, such as electromagnetic wave fronts 48, which is radiated into the earth to be picked up by repeater 36 of FIG. 1.
Even though FIG. 7 has described sync check 316, identification check 320, data register 324 and storage register 328 as shift registers, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that alternate electronic devices may be used for error checking and storage including, but not limited to, random access memory, read only memory, erasable programmable read only memory and a microprocessor.
The repeaters of the present invention provide numerous advantages over prior art systems. Simplicity of design allows units to be produced at low cost whereby the repeater may be left in wellbore 32 following, for example, a completion operation. The low cost of the repeater saves rig time which would otherwise be expended retrieving expensive items from wellbore 32 following completion operations. The repeater is easy to install by simply strapping the repeater to the completion piping prior to tripping the completion piping into the well. No special equipment or joints are required on the completion piping to utilize the repeater of the present invention. Also, as described above, the modular design of repeater 34 allows for changing the configuration of repeater 34 from a pass through to a digital mode while on the rig floor with a minimum amount of time spent.
While the invention has been described with a reference to illustrative embodiments, this description is not intended to be construed in a limiting sense. Various modifications and combinations of the illustrative embodiments as well as other embodiments of the invention, will be apparent to persons skilled in the art upon reference to the description. It is, therefore, intended that the appended claims encompass any such modifications or embodiments.

Research Chemist Interview Questions
Did you mean companies matching "Research Chemist"? See Companies
"They wanted to know your strengths and weaknesses, which is normal but after the second interview had to fill out a personality index and explain why I scored the way that I did"
"When did you have to use influence to make a colleague see your point of view to complete the project?"
"How would you dictate being the boss/authority/expert to someone who's older and has been there much longer than you have?"
"Be able to clearly explain your research history to a room with 1-2 experts in your field and 10-12 people who are experts in some other field. Be able to get into nitty-gritty technical details..."

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class in the front seats.
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class as you will with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is clearly a better financial choice over the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class have similar Destination Charges.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is about the same width as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is slightly shorter than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which may make it easier to park.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class has much less torque than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class has about the same turning radius as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class has less horsepower than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, so it will probably be somewhat slower.
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class has a roomier cargo area for holding your bags or other items than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class comes with essentially the same basic warranty as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
Compare the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

Reviewer score
Would recommend
She is like a great beauty whose beauty is fading with age.
My experience at the Best Miami was OK, for a stay of 4 days. I would have been really p'd off if I had to stay longer.
I was pleasantly surprised with the continental breakfast. There were about 4 different things to eat and there was your juice,
tea and coffee. All included in your room price.
The room had a small leak from condensation with the air conditioning so there was a little puddle ouside the bathroom each morning. We could live with that for 4 ays.
Th room had no coffe maker, which was a disappointment.
The staff were OK. No one was rude.
The pool was once beautiful. Not so much now but it was well used by children during our stay.
The electronic key was annoying. It often did not open the door and we had to keep trying for about 5 minutes most times.
I loved the glass elevator, we had a lovely view of the pool area. Like I said, it just takes a little imagination to see that this hotel was once a place of beauty. Although time has taken a toll on its appearance, we still got value for a modest rate.
The Best?
Staff there are helpful and someones very friendly and overall professional. The pool is a delight. The metro station is close and convenient. The complimentary breakfast is not what expected, just plain everything, coffee, one kind of bagels, two
kind of cereals, not very good orange juice, some pastries, coffee and one kind of tea. The air conditioning is very high. The hotel seem that had had serious problems with humidity and mold, since there is a mold odor when one enters the lobby. I believe the air conditioning is so high in order to combat the mold.
The chofer of the hotel will take you to some place around 5 miles of the hotel, when you ask for. You just need to tip him.
Would not recommend
Visiting friends
The hotel is in a great location. The room was not clean, esp the bathroom. The help was kind and helpful, but overall the hotel needs to take extra care in keeping the room clean
uncomfortable hotel
well, my experience was not good, I think the staff and personal were not kind with us.
From the description I expected the hotel to be much closer to the airport. The supposed free shuttle service only ran a few times a day and was not running when we arrived. Was forced to take a cab costing us $30 - not something we expected. The
shuttle to the airport the next day left only at certain times and went to the cruiseport first to drop off passengers. Took a lot longer than expected - good thing we had extra time fefore the flight. The room was average but the fridge was rusty. Would not recommend the site especially if you are flying in and expect to save time and money by using it as convenient to the airport. Would not use the facility again.
Great location, not great hotel
It was nice to be in walking distance of a variety of restaurants in a pleasant area of town. The hotel itself was a disappointment in all aspects -- poor breakfast, no washclothes available for two days, dirty bedspreads, leaky water faucets,
"hidden" charges, etc.
Graduation stay
The family was in Miami for my sons graduation from the University of Miami . It was a very good location. Very close the the U. Room was a little small. The bathroom needed to be cleaned. Could not get wifi in the room. Had to go outside the room
to get connected to wifi. But it was a a great location and it served the purpose while we were there.
Not Quite What I Expected
I had a layover in Miami and chose to stay here because of cost and the fact that the hotel advertised shuttles. I almost missed the shuttle after I called for it because it was not marked with a sign in front, only 3 computer sized paper signs on
the side. The shuttle driver tried to be helpful. The hotel only has one bus as I saw it. I could only get a shuttle to the airport at 9AM, 12PM or 3 PM for my 4:30 departure. I didn't realize that the hotel is next to the metro which does have a line to the airport.. As a newcomer to the Miami area, I had hoped the front desk could give me more advice on where to visit with the time I had other than just the sports stadium. There is an additional $2 fee for the electronic room safe whether you use it or not and an $8 a day parking fee. The room was clean and did have a working microwave and mini frig; however, there were puddles of water on the floor from the air conditioner and the tub had a constant drip. There was a pool in the center of the hotel that supposedly closed at 8pm, but, based on the noise, obviously was open much later. If I were to return to Miami, I would definitely look around to see what else is available before booking here again.
Business Travel
The hotel is hard to find. Check in & out was pretty easy. They charge you a $2 safe fee, regardless if you need it or not. Parking is an additional $8/day. Free breakfast was packaged muffins, cereal & fruit. The only reason I stayed is because
it is close to South Miami Baptist Hospital.
Close to the hospital.
Rude receptionist
Very rude receptionist ; didn't do their job properly ; also no hotel shuttle available for us when we went

With Trinity's new voice chat anyone can create a room. So if you see no BEZERK room just create one and they will come
I Promised Isis7 a short summery of the Bezerk thread for the BEZERK Room in Voice Chat, so here it is.
This is NOT PART OF THE FINAL TWO BURST TO COME AND THERE IS NO CODE IN IT
. Other members of the group will also post the m7 chatlogs soon
This is what I now believe and think. I also think that some of you already know or "feel" some of this information. This is just my current understanding so you are welcome to disagree with me or to have a different opinion. It was a daunting task to sum up 1000+ pages. If some of you don't agree then please post it and open it up for discussion. (The Bezerk thread also took me personally on learning curve to connect some dots. It's a pity that active research was interrupted)
To sum up the BEZERK thread, in a short and sweet version: the BEZERK Project was sanctioned and controlled(phased) leak of information and a communication platform to the "others" in realtime, especially in the beginning of the thread. It was phased due to the upfront/disregard nature of human behavior/intellect. (If we don't understand something we disregard it as nonsense. Ignorance is a bliss type of thing. RRR has a saying:
"Our whistle is blowing softly, if we blow to hard some eardrums might pop, then everyone would be deaf"
i.e We whisper softly, because if we shout it all out at once they will go deaf and then nobody would hear or believe us.
BEZERK is all about a primordial organism that has been activated to prepare earth, geologically and climatically for the the arrival of the Draco. People are all exited about disclosure and "Whoopi aliens are coming" but they don't realize only a few will have survived by the time the Draco get here and even then it wont be "heaven on earth". Its about the efforts of ODESSA to stop the growth of this organism's terraforming ability by directive 301/302 by freezing it and the OMEGA option. ODESSA is trying to induce a poleshift resulting in an ice age. From their analysts they have determined that more people will be able to survive and adapt in an iceage then compared to what the intent of the organism is. They are preparing all sorts of polar technologies to their infrastructure and military/vehicles/planes, especially their navy vessels(submarines) to operate when this polshift/iceage happens.
On the other end we have China who are direct descendents from the Draco and have a specific bezerk gene sequence in them to help them survive the terraforming. China is the protector and propagator of this organism and have given a blueprint of events(briefcases on October 13th 2010) of how they want to establish their future global empire. This organism isn't anything like we've seen before, it can interact with all matter, dead or living, around it. We also have the Aannanuki arriving, we expect between now and before 2016. The Draco are not the same as the Annanuki(Illuminati Saturn setup), they are in fact the "master/pindar" reptilians while the Annanuki are the "warrior" reptilians. So its not the Rockefellers or Rothschild's that are behind the real running of the illuminati, It was and always has been lead by the Chinese Pindar. The Rockefellers & Rothschild are part of the Ananuki Illuminati and the other 11 bloodlines but they not the Pindar/master Illuminati. People are also getting all exited about ascension, but from the C.H.A.N.I project the entity mentioned that Ascension is nothing more than A Massive Abduction on a Global Scale! So if they come and offer you to board their vessels with promises of the future. Don't go, you will be slaves and will not progress spiritually. You are on planet earth for a reason, stay here and wait for the REAL Ascension. This will also come when another group of aliens, which we call the "Silent Elders" arrive. They will not need any ships/spacecraft or vessels to get here. They will just manifest. For this to occur our solar system has to be in a specific alignment. So we have three types of aliens arriving (and yes some are already here but most here now are those who were left behind at the end of the previous cycle, they the ones who became gods here, established mystic groups and orders) So wait for the Elders.
Again the above is put very simplistic but it is the crux of the matter as I see it. (there are of course many more layers and dimensions to this info, so please use the above as only a tool to open up further discussion and research)

I honestly expected her to kill herself years ago.
Filming her scene for the Disney Classic Sequel…"The Biggest Mermaid."
Magnificent. After swimming the Atlantic she still has the strength to jump those steps and spawn.
I guess we don't have to ask how "the twins" are doing.
The skin tight dress does her no favors. Her feet look friggen huge.
You know what works? A bra.
Jenny really works, y'all.
Tom Hanks got Daryl Hannah.
This mermaid's for you, John Candy!
And they call this "Mimi?" Looks more like Moomoooooo!
Sunglasses for evening wear: perfect, not douchey at all.
That poor, poor dress.
Ha, I thought the thumbnail was a picture of Wendy Williams. Oops.
Lookin' good Kathie Lee!
Mariah Careying some weapons of milk destruction.
I am glad she kept her sunglasses handy. Never know when the sun might come up unexpectedly.
The sheer weight of them is what killed Nick Cannon's kidneys
I'm hoping that dress drips off and reforms into a terminator.

Pete Lerma | September 5, 2006 | Comments
The YouTube audience is huge and highly engaged. You owe it to your brand to consider how to leverage it.
So you think you might... possibly... want to consider... maybe... placing your brand on YouTube? Why not? After all, it's one of the most popular sites online. In fact, in July, YouTube had over 16 million unique visitors.
Recently, Lee Gomes from "The Wall Street Journal" estimated there are more than 6 million videos on YouTube and the amount of time people have spent the site since it launched last year adds up to 9,305 years. Which means not only do you have a huge audience, it's also a highly engaged one.
So, how do you leverage YouTube for your brand? First, consider whether you want to go with one of the packaged YouTube offerings it just announced or take a grass-roots approach.
When you consider YouTube, be prepared to break out of the way you've traditionally approached advertising, offline and on-. "This new medium requires finding a balance between traditional online advertising and new creative approaches that engage consumers in an active way," says Chad Hurley, CEO and cofounder of YouTube. "Advertisers now have a highly targeted opportunity for aligning their brands alongside the entertainment experience people are enjoying on YouTube."
Participatory Video Ads
The new Participatory Video Ad (PVA) is a user-initiated video advertisement with all the YouTube community features enabled. Consumers can rate, share, comment, embed, and add as a favorite advertising content. Rather than interrupt a consumer's experience, YouTube feels it's created a model that encourages engagement and participation.
The example I saw was a trailer for the movie "Crank." User comments varied from praise for the trailer and excitement about the movie to negative opinions about the trailer and the commercialization of YouTube. If you go this route, be prepared for the good and the bad user participation brings with it.
Brand Channels
Brand Channels include all standard community functionality, helping brands become an organic part of the YouTube's fabric. Key aspects include:
I viewed the Paris Hilton channel, which I didn't find too interesting. It was sponsored by Fox's TV show "Prison Break." That's not to say a Brand Channel couldn't work, just that I see a disconnect between Paris Hilton and "Prison Break."
Grass-Root Approaches
There are unofficial approaches you can consider, too. Recently, Stephen Colbert of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" issued a challenge to his audience. He shot a video of himself on a green screen for fans to download and edit in any way they wanted. He asked people to submit the videos to his fan site. Many of the videos have also shown up on YouTube. The result has been phenomenal. One video alone on YouTube has been viewed almost 700,000 times, as of this writing. Giving assets to consumers to make the brand their own is just another way to potentially get your brand on YouTube. But this, too, can be risky.
Some brands are simply uploading TV spots and seeing what happens. A couple of ads that have gained enormous popularity on the site are Volkswagen's Pimp My Auto spots and the Sony Bravia Bouncy Balls ad.
As I said a few weeks ago, advertising within social media isn't for everyone. You may have concerns about inappropriate content surrounding your brand. But it's worthwhile to at least explore how it might work for you. The audiences, and their levels of engagement, are hard to ignore.

BOSTON — A Massachusetts woman filed a class-action lawsuit Tuesday accusing Wal-Mart of wrongly denying employee benefits for same-sex spouses.
Jacqueline Cote says Wal-Mart repeatedly denied medical insurance for her wife before 2014, when the retail giant started offering benefits for same-sex spouses.
The couple incurred at least $150,000 in medical costs after Cote's wife, Dee Smithson, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2012.
MEXICO CITY — For those who remember Colombia in the dark days of the 1990s, it's all too familiar: The world's most powerful drug lord slips out of prison, the beneficiary of his government's refusal to extradite him and its inability to hold him.
When notorious Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar left his luxury prison near Medellin in 1992, the ensuing scandal set in motion changes: a renewal of extraditions to the U.S. and the hunting down and killing of Escobar a year later.
ATHENS, Greece — Dimitris Bokas keeps meticulous records of the bathroom fixtures he sells from his small shop in the quiet middle-class residential neighborhood of Koukaki near the center of Athens — just in case a tax inspector makes a surprise visit to ensure Greece's 23 percent sales tax is being collected and reported correctly.
VIENNA — Overcoming decades of hostility, Iran, the United States, and five other world powers struck a historic accord Tuesday to check Tehran's nuclear efforts short of building a bomb. The agreement could give Iran access to billions in frozen assets and oil revenue, stave off more U.S. military action in the Middle East and reshape the tumultuous region.
WASHINGTON — The Republican-controlled Congress can't block the complex nuclear agreement the Obama administration announced with Iran on Tuesday, but a veto struggle is a virtual certainty as lawmakers try to undermine the deal by insisting that numerous sanctions remain in place.
"I think he's going to be working hard to get 34 votes," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said of the coming struggle, referring to the support President Barack Obama would need to sustain a veto.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — In a day of both jubilation and tension, scientists waited anxiously Tuesday for NASA's New Horizons spacecraft to send word across 3 billion miles and confirm it got humanity's first up-close look at Pluto.
All indications were that the craft successfully made its flyby, and a cheering, flag-waving celebration swept over the mission operations center in Maryland. But confirmation was not expected to reach Earth from the edge of the solar system for another 13 hours, or about 9 p.m. EDT.
SEATTLE — With her step-grandparents dead or dying in the burning wreckage of their small plane, 16-year-old Autumn Veatch needed to somehow find her way off the remote, thickly forested Washington state mountainside where they crashed Saturday afternoon.
BRUSSELS — After grueling, often angry negotiations that tested the limits of European unity, Greece struck a preliminary rescue deal with its creditors Monday that should avert an imminent financial catastrophe but also guarantees years more hardship and sacrifice for its people.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras flew home to sell the bailout plan to skeptical lawmakers and political allies, some of whom accused him of selling Greece out. Panos Kammenos, leader of the junior partner in Tsipras' coalition government, denounced the deal as a German-led "coup."
WASHINGTON — The weekend disappearance of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman from a maximum security prison should have come as little surprise to Mexican authorities: The Drug Enforcement Administration had alerted them 16 months ago about several plans to escape.
VIENNA — An Iran nuclear agreement appeared likely within hours, diplomats said late Monday after a day in which American and Iranian negotiators appeared to be struggling to clear final obstacles and looking like they'd miss their fourth deadline in less than two weeks.
Three diplomats familiar with the talks said the announcement could come early today, possibly during pre-dawn hours in Vienna. One said some of the top officials involved in the negotiation needed to leave Austria's capital in the morning, thus hastening the declaration.
