What will our Pony Rides Business Plan do for your Business?
We supply you with everything you need!
The primary objective of generating your plan is to help you get a prosperous business. In the long run it is a waste of time to complete a business plan that might raise the money that you are seeking if your business is so inexpertly realized that it is destined to fall apart.
Our Pony Rides Business Plans are not like the incomplete, free, ancient, business plans that you find online. Our plans focus on:
- The Business Concept.
- The current Pony Rides market.
- Developing a definite focus for your Pony Rides Business.
- Setting out ways to market and generate income from your goods and services.
- Managing Your Pony Rides Business.
"The plan demonstrated that we actually needed far less money and saved us thousands of dollars in extra borrowing!"
Freda Wilson, Corpus Christi, TX
The Business Concept.
Ordinarily business owners get their ideas from one of four sources.
- Previous Work Experience,
- Education or Training,
- Talents, hobbies or other personal interests, or
- Recognition of an unanswered need or market opportunity.
Our Pony Rides Business Plan has plenty of wording to cover your requirements.
"The business plans saved me a prodigious amount of time and effort. Your Pony Rides Business Plan is exactly what my company has wanted. We like the plan. It is really wonderful."
C. K. Goodman, Gloversville, NY
The current Pony Rides market.
Scarcely any small business owners have the funds to conduct extensive market research. Market reports can be long drawn-out documents, and cost thousands; they are also no use for smaller businesses. Our Pony Rides Business Plan incorporates important wording about:
- The prospective customers that you must be targeting with your advertising and brand.
- Whether the market is growing or shrinking and by how much.
- The developments in the market and how you might exploit them.
This info will enable you to decide how and where your merchandise should be located in the market.
"Your Pony Rides Business Plan is the most helpful business product we have ever bought. It is simply awesome. Well done a-2-z."
Anna Malone, College Park, MD
Developing a definite focus for your Pony Rides Business.
It is important for your organization, if you want it to be a success, that it enjoys a clearly defined strategic position that separates it from the competition. Spelling out this position will make sure you gain a definitive place in the market, and separate what your business does in a different way from the rest.
We provide mission statements in our Pony Rides Business Plans and give you various strategic options for your Pony Rides Business.
"If you are a professional adviser, always buy the plan. You can recover the cost many times over and my customers have been blown away!"
E. Carpenter, Waverly City, OH
Setting out ways to market and generate income from your goods and services.
Our Pony Rides Business Plans provide you with clear info about the kind of products that are doing well in your market. How you promote your products and services will define your business and where it will be placed in relation to your competition.
Countless business owners want to offer the cheapest products and services with the best customer service; that is the fast lane to failure, as sales will not provide a profit. Our business plan packages set out diverse options for explaining what you do more effectively.
We also supply you with further, complementary, to present you with a huge selection of options for expanding what you supply, and subsequently growing your Pony Rides Business.
"Thanks to a-2-z business plans, we have now started our second new company! Its all wonderful. You can put this on your website if you want to. It was straightforward, pleasant and, first and foremost, with no bother. Due credit - the package is enormous and really useful!"
R. E. Rogers, Chibougamau
Managing Your Pony Rides Business.
Backers base their lending decision almost wholly upon how they assess the owner and the management of the organization. Plenty of new business owners think that lenders make the decision based upon the financials, but the reality is that displaying the management correctly is the best way of obtaining the loan you are hoping to obtain. So what are banks searching for?
- Experience - Our Pony Rides Business Plans show you how to set out essential information about the skills and experience you and your people have.
- Realism - Demonstrate you understand the challenges in your businesses market.
- Flexibility - We supply three further business plans so that you can demonstrate that your organization is has a lot of options for growth.
- Ability to work well with people - If you get ill, or have an accident, you need to demonstrate that others will take over and repay the money that is still owing.
Do you have members of staff that are skilled and trained in the diverse parts of the organization? Or do the talents and strengths of your staff duplicate each other?
"I use a-2-z frequently. Thank you so much for your help. Our clients are impressed when we finish their plan so quickly! Annie was really friendly and we got some wonderful advice"
D. Allen, Great Falls, MT
Pony Rides Business Plan – Financial Summary
If you have no idea how to do your numbers then there are a great deal of files and spreadsheets in our Business Plan Package that plainly set out the straightforward way to complete your financials, using your own ideas and, most importantly, figures that match your plans actual wording.
Make certain that you do not use mythical numbers that you find on the web - they cannot conceivably work for your organization and utilizing false numbers in an attempt to obtain a loan is fraud; you will be perpetrating a straightforward crime.
Use our wording to complete your business plan to start with, and then your numbers will be straightforward!
"We were told that it would be $1,500 for somebody to produce our plan, so we thought we would give a-2-z a go first. So happy we did, we got an ideal plan and kept our money."
Stacey Maldonado, Summerfield, NC
"The Pony Rides Business Plan has made it as simple as ABC to supervise and operate my business. Nice work and thanks for the massive package. Makes the free business plans that you get on the net look dated and very badly written."
D. Griffin, Gymea
"I purchase from them all the time to help me create plans for my clients!"
Nicolas Allen, Hanahan, SC
"The free plans provided us with a lot of new ideas for services that we had simply missed, and we have already begun growing. Thank you, Billie. It was straightforward buying from the store and delivery was prompt"
R. C. Craft, Boone, IA

The present invention relates to a sequence controller, and more particularly to a programmable controller (hereinafter called "PC") for sequence control which is programmable by a user.
Conventionally, programs for a sequence control PC have been made by using either a conditional type definition typified by a Relay Ladder chart or a sequential type definition typified by a step incremental method. The control to be performed, however, often contains both a part suitable for conditional type control and a part suitable for sequential type control. In view of this, a PC operating on the basis of a combination of both these definitions has been proposed as shown in JP-A-58-66114.
According to JP-A-58-66114, the whole specification for sequential control is configured by using two types of conditional and sequential definitions, and the programs with the two definitions are executable by a single PC. According to this technique, programs using the conditional type definition are grouped into a plurality of conditional control blocks to thereby distinguish them from a plurality of sequential control blocks into which the other programs using the sequential type definition are grouped. With this conceptual technique, the conditional and sequential control blocks are formed, therefore, without any relation to the physical structure of an object to be controlled. For this reason, it is difficult to understand the physical structure of a controlled object from the sequence control specification, and conversely to form a sequence control specification properly matching the physical structure of the controlled object. There is accordingly some difficulty in making programs.
Similar problems also arise even if a Petrinet graph presently attempted in the art is used.
If a mechanism is to be sequentially controlled by a single PC, a plurality of connection wirings L are extended from the single PC to various physical elements, such as switches, motors and the like as shown in FIG. 8. As a result, not only do the number of wirings become enormous, but also the structure becomes complicated so that many accidents become possible. In addition, the scale of programs to be executed by the PC becomes large, resulting in a difficulty in making and maintaining programs.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a sequence controller for sequentially controlling a mechanism by using programs which are readily associatable with the physical structure of the mechanism.
In order to achieve the above object of this invention, a mechanism and function to be controlled is divided into a plurality of functional blocks, and each block is assigned a control block with an activation condition. Control programs suitable for the function of a functional block of the associated control block are made by using a conditional type definition, a sequential type definition, or a combination thereof. All control blocks are distributively allocated to a plurality of PCs. Each PC executes the programs for the allocated control blocks in a multi task processing to thereby dispersedly execute the sequence control of the mechanism. With such an arrangement, programs can be provided for each control block while using a representation in close association with the corresponding functional block, and in an easily-understandable form.
The control block described in this invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
Functional collections, i.e., functional blocks A, B and C of a mechanism and function to be sequentially controlled, are represented by circles as shown in FIG. 1. The regions within the circles are called control blocks 1a, 1b and 1cwhich share an output to be controlled, respectively, and this diagram is called a control block diagram. The control blocks for the functional blocks are interconnected by arrows 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d and 2e each affixed with the name of a signal such as an input/output signal, an internal signal or the like, the head of each arrow being directed to the control block to which the referenced signal is supplied.
Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the control specification for control outputs in each control block is configured by using a sequential type definition, a conditional type definition, or both of the definitions. For each control block, an activation condition is designated to specify whether its control specification is enabled or disabled.
Each control block, 1a, 1b, 1c shown in FIG. 1 corresponding to the functional block A, B, C to be sequentially controlled, performs a control operation for a signal to be outputted therefrom.
For example, in the control block 1a, which executes a set of sequential operations, the controlled outputs from the block 1a are respective actuators which perform the set of operations. The control specification of this control block is preferable if it is configured by using the sequential type definition as indicated at 3 in FIG. 2.
For the control block 1c, whose controlled outputs follow a conditional operation, the control specification is preferable if it is configured by using the conditional type definition as indicted at 4 in FIG. 2.
There is also the case where it is preferable to configure the control specification of the control block 1b by using both sequential and conditional type definitions in accordance with the outputs controlled within the block, as indicated at 6 in FIG. 2.
As described above, each control block has certain controlled outputs and the contents of the control specification for each control block are configured independently by using a suitable definition. Therefore, the control diagram shown in FIG. 1 can be made analogous to the physical structure of a mechanism to be controlled.
In a mechanism which performs physical operations to be sequentially controlled, it is empirically known that as the signal reference between control blocks becomes more dense, the more the control blocks are related to each other in a physical sense. The reason for this is that a set of sequential operations such as handling, working or the like is carried out under a certain physical constraint or condition.
In general, as the number of arrows indicating referenced signals between control blocks becomes larger, the more the control blocks are related to each other in a physical sense.
If control blocks are disposed so as to make the length of the referenced signal arrows as short as possible, then the control block diagram almost necessarily reflects the physical structure of a mechanism to be controlled. Therefore, the control blocks can be arranged in direct association with the physical structure while indicating the relationship between blocks by arrows with signal names.
FIG. 1 conceptually illustrates control blocks used in this invention.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the types of definition for the programs of each control block.
FIG. 3 is a schematic view illustrating the element positions of a capacitor assembling station which is shown as an example of mechanisms to be controlled by the sequence controller of this invention.
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a division of the assembling station shown in FIG. 3 into a plurality of control blocks.
FIG. 5 is a flow chart illustrating in particular the control by the control block a among those blocks shown in FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 is a control block diagram used for explaining a management control block.
FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of this invention wherein a mechanism is dispersedly controlled by a plurality of PCs.
FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing how a single PC has controlled heretofore a plurality of functional blocks.
FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing how a plurality of PCs control a plurality of functional blocks according to the present invention.
FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram showing the arrangement of one PC shown in FIG. 8.
The disposal of elements of a capacitor assembling station on a laundry machine main body assembly line is shown in FIG. 3 as an example of objects to be sequentially controlled.
The apparatus 10 is constructed of the following elements. Namely, apparatus 10 includes a pallet transport unit a for supplying a pallet within which capacitors are aligned and for discharging an empty pallet, a robot 11 for sequentially picking up a capacitor from the pallet, a position correction unit b for determining the posture of a capacitor, a conveying unit c for conveying a capacitor to a capacitor assembly site, an outer housing position determining unit d for determining the position of a laundry machine on which a capacitor is assembled, and a thread fastener for use in mounting a conveyed capacitor. The robot and thread fastener have their own control panel. The thread fastener is not shown in FIG. 3.
FIG. 4 and 5 show a division of the mechanism to be controlled into a plurality of blocks while introducing the concept of the division described with reference to FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a control block diagram showing the overall functional arrangement, and FIG. 5 is a flow chart illustrating the control specification of the control block a among those blocks shown in FIG. 4.
Each control block a, b, c, d shown in FIG. 4 corresponds to the physical, functional blocks with the same representation shown in FIG. 3. The control block e is caused to execute substantially the same function as the control block a during the manual operation.
Each control block shown in FIG. 4 has a control specification for a signal to be outputted therefrom and references to input/output signals, internal signals or the like in other control blocks necessary for the control specification are represented by signal line arrows in FIG. 4. Each signal line is affixed with a signal name so that the relationship between control blocks can be shown in an easily understandable way while giving its physical structure.
For example, it can be seen from the control, block diagram that the position correction unit b and the outer housing position determining unit d are both positioned adjacent to each other yet have no direct relationship so that they are not influenced mutually, and that a capacitor to be assembled is transported via a passage from unit a, the robot, and unit b, to c.
FIG. 5 shows the control specification of the pallet transport unit a among the control blocks. The control specification of this control block is valid while an automatic start signal is ON, and is configured by using the sequential type definition. A set of sequential operations is shown by a combination of input conditions waiting and controlled outputs, with two conditional branches being provided intermediately of the specification.
Steps 02 to 06 indicate the operation of transporting a pallet to the position whereat the robot picks up a capacitor. Steps 09 to 17 indicate the operation of correctly aligning the pallet at the pickup site.
At step 17, a signal representative of "Pallet Position Determination Completed" is supplied to the robot 11. This signal is referenced by the robot so that it is also indicated at 12a in FIG. 4.
Step 18 waits for a reception of an ON signal representative of "Pallet Work Empty" from the robot 11, or an AND output between an ON signal representative of "Automatic Stop" and an OFF signal representative of "During Picking Up by Robot". During the above operations, the robot 11 sequentially picks up capacitors aligned in the pallet one by one. The signals for "Pallet Work Empty" and "During Picking Up by Robot" are also indicated at 13a and 14a in FIG. 4, respectively, to thereby explicitly show the operational relationship between the control block and robot.
Steps 20 to 32 indicate the operation of discharging an empty pallet. Step 34 indicates terminating one cycle of the operation while capacitors still remain in the pallet. Even if each control block independently performs a sequential control as described above, synchronization among control blocks is retained by using a signal referred to between control blocks.
Symbols used for signal names in FIGS. 4 and 5, i.e., PH, MS, SIM, T, SSV, and DSV respectively represent a photosensor, a non-contact microswitch, a timer, a single solenoid valve, and a double solenoid valve. The solenoid valve drives an air cylinder actuator in each functional block shown in FIG. 4.
With the control specification of the control block a using the sequential definition, the operation after step 32 or 34 is adapted to repeat the same operation from the start step. For example, after a pallet is discharged, another pallet is transported unless the "Automatic Stop" signal is ON.
If the "Automatic Start" signal indicating the activation condition turns OFF, then the sequential control is immediately reset at any time when the signal turns OFF, and the controlled outputs from the control block a are all turned OFF to thereby stop the corresponding operations. Any condition can be set in an activation condition for each control block as essential attributes to the control block.
Signals such as "Automatic Stop", "Automatic Start" and the like are supplied from a control block g, which manages the entirety of the mechanism, the signals being not indicated in FIG. 4.
The control block g for managing the entirety of the mechanism controls the condition of the mechanism such as an emergency stop, automatic running, or manual operation, mainly by means of switches and lamps on a main operation console. The management control block g performs a function, common, to all control blocks for the purpose of maintaining the integrity of the mechanism running methods and operation procedures.
The control outputs from the control block g are abstract signals such as the "Automatic Start" signal indicating the conditions of the mechanism, so that the position of the management control block g in the control block diagram is not related to the physical structure of the mechanism, as shown in FIG. 6.
The control block having the above-described abstract, shared function is designed to be entered beforehand into the integral control block diagram containing both abstract and physical level control blocks, as shown in FIG. 6.
The sequence programs for the sequence control specification actually made are, therefore, only for the control blocks at the physical level. Common control blocks for managing the entirety of the mechanism can be omitted.
According to the method of configuring the overall control specification by using the programs dispersed to a plurality of control blocks, the management relationship among the control blocks is necessary by using actuation conditions for realizing the hierarchical order of the control blocks. As a result programs for each control block can be made by using definition suitable for the control block, thereby making it easy to make programs. In addition, the programs made for each control block are small in size so that they can be understood easily and have less error.
FIG. 7 shows an example of a plurality of dispersed PCs according to this invention wherein the plurality of PCs can be allocated to respective control blocks in correspondence with the physical structure. In this example, a PC is called a compact control module (CCM). These PCs are arranged to be capable of realizing signal transfer between control blocks with the aid of a ring network function.
Each of the plurality of CCMs (or PCs) executes the programs for at least one control block. If a single CCM executes the programs for two or more control blocks, the operation is carried out in a multi task processing.
FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram equivalent to the structure shown in FIG. 7 as modified for the purpose of easy comparison with the conventional structure shown in FIG. 8. In FIG. 8, a single PC controls the overall mechanism, whereas in FIG. 9 a plurality of CCMs each execute the programs for one or more control blocks by dividing the programs for the overall mechanism to be controlled into small programs for each control program. As a result, switches SW, motors M and the like can be connected to the input/output port of a nearby CCM, thereby considerably reducing the amount of connection wirings as compared with that shown in FIG. 8.
FIG. 10 shows the internal structure of a single CCM. Referring to FIG. 10, the programs for control blocks assigned to the CCM are stored in a memory 210. While using a referenced signal inputted or outputted when necessary via a network port 230 for retaining synchronization with other control blocks or for other proposes, PC 200 executes the programs stored in the memory 210 in a multi task processing. The controlled outputs obtained as the execution results are outputted from the input/output port 220.
Since the programs for each control block can be made by using a definition suitable for the control by the control block, programs can be made more easily if a particular programming language is used in writing programs.
Table 1 shows an example of a program written with such programming language, the program being executed by one of CCMs.

This program is written by the programming language conforming with the program configuration method as described above, and composed of a name definition par in the former half and a control block definition part in the latter half.
The configuration style of a sequence control specification according to this invention uses a control block as configuration unit. In practice, a physically located PC covers several control blocks, and the programs for each control block are collected, and stored in, that PC.
The programs shown in Table 1 are stored in a PC having a name "pallet", and the definitions for both the control blocks a and e are executed.
Each step of the program shown in Table 1 will be described briefly.
The first two lines are statements defining the PC network name and PC name.
Each IN, OUT and REF line is a statement defining the name of input/output signal for the PC, and the signal name referenced by another PC. IN and OUT statements include a connection port number.
Statements starting from BLOCK to ENDB give definition to one control block. After BLOCK, the control block name and its activation condition are defined.
Each SIG and TMR statement defines an internal output signal and timer both present within the control block. Sequential type definition is used from DEFINE line to RETURN statement. The number of each line corresponds to the step shown in FIG. 5.
WAIT statement waits for an input condition, and DO statement indicates an output operation. The contents of the statements indicate the input conditions and outputs which are accompanied by signal names, a judgement state of ON/OFF and the like, or an output state indication name.
IF, ELSE, ENDIF statements realize a structural branch condition.
The = statement is a conditional definition which means that a designation operation relative to the immediately succeeding signal name is being performed while the latter judgement part is satisfied. For example, if a manual signal is ON, a manual switch tg-5a is turned ON to allow the rotation of a discharge conveyor motor sim-5.
In the statements shown in Table 1, a judgement part is represented generally by large parentheses "["and "]", the AND coupling between elements within the judgement part being represented by "," and OR coupling by "!". Small parentheses indicate a priority designation.
A series of other control elements required for a general sequence control are also prepared for the language shown in Table 1 although not used therein. Such control elements include the repetition sentence structure by REPEAT or ENDR statement, the definition of a counter and shift register by CNT and SFR statements, and the like.
Further, the status of the inputs/outputs and reference signals are not limited only to bit signals representing ON/OFF conditions. It is possible that they may be replaced by data signals representing values.
The programs shown in Table 1 contain the program for the control program a shown in FIG. 1 and the program for the control block e which shares the controlled outputs. Both the programs are arranged so as not to generate any conflict therebetween to be caused by a difference between activation conditions.
The control block a is the sequential type definition which is the same as shown in FIG. 5, whereas the control block e is the conditional type definition.
If both conditional and sequential type definitions, as indicated at 6 in FIG. 2, are required for a control block, the = statement is placed between the BLOCK statement and the DEFINE statement.
It is also possible to introduce an extended concept wherein the state of input/output and referenced signals is expressed by a numerical data signal instead of an ON/OFF bit signal.
As described above, the sequence control specification is regarded as a collection of physical and abstract functional parts, i.e., control blocks, and the signal transfer therebetween and the internal signal processing are considered separately. The configuration method and programming language for a control specification matching the physical structure of the object to be controlled can be thereby obtained.
According to the present invention, the sequence control specification for each control block is depicted as a control block diagram in a form quite analogous to the physical and functional relationship between elements of the object to be controlled. It is advantageous therefore in that the control arrangement can be visually understood easily.
In the control block diagram, the internal specification of each control block and the relationship to other control blocks can be expressed distinguishably so that without checking the internal definitions of other control blocks in detail, each control block can advantageously perform a dispersed processing.
The control specification of each control block can be defined by a sequential type definition, a conditional type definition or both definitions in accordance with the contents of operation by each control block. A proper definition can thus be selected to advantageously give a representation suitable for the control specification.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
In the fall of 1896 elderly Susannah McKnight coaxes her granddaughter Mary to travel with her to Canada to visit someone Mary regards as an "old slave woman." Mary's vision of Bethlehem Reid is shattered, however, when she hears an amazing story of undying friendship and courage. As young girls Susannah and Bethlehem helped each other escape to the North: for Bethlehem, freedom; for Susannah, a return to the home she loved. Rich and emotionally resonant, this compelling, true story is told in compassionate, lush language; delighting not only in its poetic imagery and uncompromising clarity of expression but in the suspense and adventure of the girls' flight to personal liberty. Bethlehem and Susannah's friendship, born of circumstance and necessity, is never sentimentalized but remains fierce and heartbreaking to the last. This powerful, moving and thought-provoking narrative is sure to stay with readers long after it is finished. Ages 8-12.

From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8-- The title comes from a spiritual used as a signal to slaves that the time had come for them to make a run for freedom. Susannah, 13, thinks about such matters in the abstract until the year her parents die and she is taken to Virginia to live with her uncle's family. She believes that slavery is wrong, and matters are made worse when she is given a slave, Bethlehem. Susannah befriends her, teaches her to read, and then asks her help getting back to Vermont. While the story line is occasionally unrealistic--the girls have much too easy a time running north, for example--its strength lies in its unstinting examination of emotions. Bethlehem deals with her hatred of slavery, her resentment of the white girl, and her need to go on to Canada rather than to stay with Susannah, now a friend. Susannah must come to terms with her feelings about the black race. And her granddaughter, to whom the story is told, finds her own eyes opened and her prejudices exposed. Characterization of the main heroines is sound, although the secondary players never come to life. Despite the facile surface, the issues explored in this book run deep. When read with William Katz's Breaking the Chains (Atheneum, 1990), this will go a long way toward explicating the damage done by slavery. --Ann Welton, Thomas Academy, Kent, WA

Steal Away
By: Jennifer Armstrong
This book is about two girls named Susannah and Bethlehem. They are running away
from a southern plantation. Susannah is an orphan who is trying to run back to Vermont where
she used to live. Bethlehem is a slave who is trying to run to Canada to be free.
They both made it to their destinations, and both are talking to Mary about their run away.
The main character in this book is Susannah. Susannah is the main character because
in the story she was being strong and powerful. To me, I really think she was a good run away
the way she was acting like a boy. When she got that big cut on her hand, she did not
really act like a girl. She was also a nice girl because she taught Bethlehem how to read.
The main character, Susannah has a problem. The problem is Bethlehem and Susannah trying to
not get caught while they are running away. They are also trying to stay together and not get mad
at each other and break apart. This was the kind of problem that if you didn't have good friendship,
you would probably would get in trouble by the people who they ran away from .
To the problems, Susannah had a good friendship with Bethlehem. They had a couple of arguements, but
did not split up. They did not get caught, although they did see people who helped them out. Also, in their
arguements, they really didn't get mad, they settled it and then went on
with their runaway. So that means they didn't break up.
My opinion on this book is that I think this book is a good book. I would also recommend this book to
others because I like the book. I like this book because I think it's a kind of book that shows how to
have good friendship. That is the reason I would recommend this book. I also think it is an interesting book.
I would rate the book Steal Away by Jennifer Armstrong with a fie star rating. I would rate it with this rating because of the time frame and how well it fit in with the characters. The whole book was just astonishing. The sense were just so really you would never want to put the book down. The book just went together so well. I loved this book, and all the details that it contents. The author really made all the events that dealt with discrimination. Also the belief that Susannah had for the black slave was so beautiful and that shows that some people really do care. I have not really read any books that really went along with this story but in the future will be filled with more of these types of books. The way that people were treated in the past and still today just makes the biggest different in the people that are here today. People to this day don't realize that all people have feelings and do care. The way blacks and slaves were treated in the past is just the biggest mess. "How can the slaves make a living if the whites just give then the bare minute?" asked Susannah. Well the answers to that one little question was answered but the people that didn't care. In ways the people cared it was just against the peoples beliefs to speak of.
Thirteen-year-old Susannah is suddenly orphaned and forced to leave the family farm in Vermont, with all its precious memories of her parents, the boy next door, and her carefree existence. She must travel by train (an ordeal in itself) down to a new world, in Virginia, to the farm of her Reverend uncle, who firmly believes in the insitution of slavery. But Susannah will never fit into this genteel Southern society; she does not even know how to treat or address her own personal slave!
Longing to put plantation life and its immoral abuse of dark-skinned human beings behind her forever, spunky Susannah resolves to run away and sneak back to the only home she has ever known. But she needs the help of more worldy-wise Bethlehem, to prepare for this dangerous enterprise. Suddenly circumstances force both girls to depart together, with a minimum of preparation. Beth longs for Canada--a place on a map where there is no slavery.Read more ›

Spain: We were told Snowden was on Bolivia plane
MADRID Spain on Friday said it had been warned along with other European countries that former U.S. intelligence worker Edward Snowden was aboard the Bolivian presidential plane this week, an acknowledgement that the manhunt for the fugitive leaker had something to do with the planes unexpected diversion to Austria.
It is unclear whether the United States, which has told its European allies that it wants Snowden back, warned Madrid about the Bolivian presidents plane. U.S. officials will not detail their conversations with European countries, except to say that they have stated the U.S.s general position that it wants Snowden back.
President Barack Obama has publicly displayed a relaxed attitude toward Snowdens movements, saying last month that he wouldnt be scrambling jets to get a 29-year-old hacker.
But the drama surrounding the flight of Bolivian President Evo Morales, whose plane was abruptly rerouted to Vienna after apparently being denied permission to fly over France, suggests that pressure is being applied behind the scenes.
Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo told Spanish National Television that they told us that the information was clear, that he was inside.
He did not identify who they were and declined to say whether he had been in contact with the U.S. But he said that European countries decisions were based on the tip. France has since sent a letter of apology to the Bolivian government.
Meanwhile, secret-spilling website WikiLeaks said that Snowden, who is still believed to be stuck in a Moscow airports transit area, had put in asylum applications to six new countries.
The organization said in a message posted to Twitter on Friday that it wouldnt be identifying the countries involved due to attempted U.S. interference.
A number of countries have already rejected asylum applications from Snowden.MORE IN Wire NewsMUNICH The gunman whose rampage at a Munich mall left nine people dead was a depression-plagued...

The lost interview with Octavia Butler
From the 1995 interview: "We are less and less willing to pay for things that make civilization possible."
A lost interview (1995) with award-winning Sy Fy writer Octavia Butler and filmmaker Julie Dash at her home in Los Angeles for Marc Boothe, Digital Diaspora, and "40 Acres & A Microchip" the first black cyberspace conference in the UK for digerati of African descent.
"to re-examine our relationship to our cultures and the way we represent them through the use of digital technology."

Interesting sci-fi series on memes, in effect, by William Hertling
William Hertling has written a (so far) interesting series on the Singularity, when AI evolution overtakes and exceeds human evolution.
In the first volume ($3 on Kindle, and this strikes me as a Kindle-oriented series), Avogadro Corp: The Singularity Is Closer Than It Appears, a company Avogadro (Avogard's number is a large number; so is the number google: hint, hint) accidentally creates a strong AI. First, it is fairly clear that this is an evolution of a meme, and even more clear when the AI taps into everyone's information… hello? do you carry a smartphone and constantly enter personal information in addition to the information provided by the phone (e.g., your exact GPS location, the record of calls you've made to whom for how long, the things you've searched, etc.). In effect, the AI has complete information and control…
And compare that with current smartphone usage, in which the meme affects us and we affect the meme. (I do strongly recommend reading Susan Blackmore's The Meme Machine—it somehow is starting to seem urgent.)
In the second volume, A.I. Apocalypse, the idea of memes and their evolution, independent (in a sense) of their human hosts, is presented more clearly: memes have been able to break away from human hosting and they really take off, meme evolution being many orders of magnitude faster than genetic evolution.
It's intriguing and interesting, particular to those who have read Blackmore's book and thought about it.
Murray Leinster's prescient 1946 science-fiction story that described the Internet
You can read the story and see what you think. In The Register, Shaun Nichols gives his take:
Buried deep in the pages of the March 1946 issue of Astounding Science Fiction magazine sits a short story by Murray Leinster that, 70 years on, has proven a remarkably sharp prediction of both 21st century consumer technology and culture.
One of two pieces contributed by Leinster, a pen name used by author William Fitzgerald Jenkins, A Logic Named Joe [PDF] tells the story of a humble repairman who finds himself scrambling to stop a machine that has become a bit too good at helping people.
Though Leinster never achieved the notoriety of other science fiction visionaries such as Asimov or Philip K Dick, A Logic Named Joe has been recognized by, among others, the Computer History Museum as "one of the most prescient views of the capabilities of computers in a network."
In the story, Leinster envisions a future in which every home is equipped with a "logic" device that serves as both a reference source and entertainment box. Each logic connects to a "tank" where huge stores of data are kept. In Leinster's own words:
You got a logic in your house. It looks like a vision receiver used to, only it's got keys instead of dials, and you punch the keys for what you wanna get. It's hooked in to the tank, which has the Carson Circuit all fixed up with relays. Say you punch 'Station SNAFU' on your logic. Relays in the tank take over an' whatever vision-program SNAFU is telecastin' comes on your screen … But besides that, if you punch for the weather forecast or who won today's race at Hialeah or who was the mistress of the White House durin' Garfield's administration or what is PDQ and R sellin' for today, that comes on the screen too.
The story goes on to tell how "Joe," a rogue logic with a slight manufacturing defect, becomes self-aware and resolves to provide his owners and all other "logic" users with whatever information they require. Leinster says of Joe:
Joe ain't vicious, you understand. He ain't like one of those ambitious robots you read about that make up their minds the human race is inefficient and has got to be wiped out an' replaced by thinkin' machines. Joe's just got ambition. If you were a machine you'd wanna work right, wouldn't you? That's Joe. He wants to work right. And he's a logic, an' logics can do a lotta things that ain't been found out yet.
This, in turn, leads to logics around the city providing tips on everything from poisoning spouses to covering up drinking binges and robbing banks. Only when Joe is taken offline is that information hidden away from humanity and order restored.
It's important to note the state of science and technology at this point. The United States had only recently come out of World War II, having dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Soviet Union would not test its atomic bomb to kick off the Cold War for another three years, and computers only existed as massive projects like the Colossus, Harvard Mark I and ENIAC. The transistor computer would not be built until 1953, and ARPANET would not go online for another 23 years.
Technology in the home, meanwhile, was only beginning to emerge with electric appliances and television was still in its infancy (the BBC had only begun broadcasting TV 10 years prior.) Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was lauded for seeing a market for home computers in the late 1970s. Murray Leinster predicted it nearly a decade before Jobs was even born.
Science fiction, too, was in a transitional period, with many publications not yet running the darker, dystopian themes that would mark later periods in the genre. Gene Bundy, special collections librarian for the Williamson Science Fiction Library at Eastern New Mexico University, said that this was no accident.
"In general, the post-war years science fiction was controlled by [Astounding Science Fiction editor] John W. Campbell who thought science would solve it all," Bundy told The Register.
"He steered the direction stories took, only bought stories that went where he wanted them to go, hired writers to write the stories he wanted."
Where A Logic Named Joe really inspires, though, is not with its vision of the placement of technology, but in the ways in which it could be used both for the benefit and detriment of society. Leinster is able to present conflict by making technology a solution that works just a bit too well. . .
Swarms of tiny drones
This story in Motherboard reminds me strongly of Daniel Suarez's interesting science-fiction novel Kill Decision. (Suarez is the author of the superb science-fiction duology Daemon and Freedom™.) David Axe reports about swarms of these little drone: cheap and effective:
He writes:
In the middle of June 2015, a US Air Force F-16 fighter took off from an air base in Alaska and flew over a military training range at 430 miles per hour. On command, something burst from the fighter's flare dispenser—a drone roughly the size of a soda can and weighing just one pound.
The tiny, orange- and black-colored robot fluttered toward the ground trailing a parachute. After a few seconds, the 'chute separated from the drone, the robot's wings—which had folded into the body for compactness—extended outward. An inch-wide propeller began spinning, propelling the diminutive machine forward.
The drone is called "Perdix." It's the latest product of the Strategic Capabilities Office, a secretive Pentagon organization, formed in 2012, whose job is to find new ways to deploy existing weapons.
One of the office's ideas is to transform F-16s and other fast jets into high-speed launchers for swarms of small drones that could confuse enemy defenses or perform surveillance.
"Just imagine an airplane going in against an [integrated air defense] system and dropping 30 of these out that form into a network and do crazy things," Bob Work, the deputy defense secretary, told trade publication Breaking Defense. "We've tested this. We've tested it and it works."
The Perdix drones are 3D-printed out of Kevlar and carbon-fiber. Powered by lithium-ion batteries—the same kind you'd find in a cell phone—the Perdixes launch from a standard flare dispenser, like on the F-16, F/A-18 and other warplanes. . .
The Jesuit Priest Who Believed in God and the Singularity
A good quick look at Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's interesting take on evolution by Micah Redding:
In 1915, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was serving on the front lines of World War I. Somewhere in the blood, sweat, and death of never-ending trench warfare, Teilhard glimpsed something that would haunt him: the vast inter-connectedness of living things.
That realization changed his life.
Teilhard went on to become a paleontologist, geologist, lecturer, essayist, world traveler, war hero, and part of the team that discovered Peking Man—a collection of ancestral human bones making up one of the most significant archaeological finds of the 20th century. You can imagine him as a sort of bookish Indiana Jones, traipsing around the world, uncovering the mysteries of human existence as he went.
But what was most remarkable about Teilhard was that he was a Jesuit priest. And rather than seeing evolution as undermining his Christian faith, he came to believe that evolution was nothing less than the absolute core of Christianity.
The Catholic church wasn't so sure. Neither was the scientific establishment. Teilhard was connecting things that were traditionally kept apart—and upsetting the uneasy stand-off between science and religion.
No one knew it then, but in crossing those lines, Teilhard was breaking ground on the ideas that would evolve into modern transhumanism.
The Exponential Curve
Most controversially, Teilhard saw a direction to evolution. This was a heated debate both then and now, but the more Teilhard studied, the more he became convinced of an undeniable trend towards increasing complexity, interconnection, and intelligence.
This trend had led from single-celled creatures to multi-celled organisms, from multi-celled organisms to creatures with hearts, lungs, and brains, and from creatures with brains to beings who could read, write, and communicate across thousands of miles. This was Teilhard's "curve of evolution," and it resembled nothing so much as the exponential curve of Moore's Law, leading up and to the right at an ever increasing angle.
This process had led inexorably toward human beings. But Teilhard's point was that humanity was simply one step on a never-ending staircase of increasing complexity. Humanity wasn't at the end of the process. Not at all.
The Network
In fact, Teilhard believed another new level of complexity and intelligence was already emerging. Teilhard called this new level the "noosphere"—the increasingly networked world of the mind.
As Teilhard saw it, this had begun with the advent of human brains, but couldn't stay isolated in human brains forever. In our books, our art, our technology, our roads — the noosphere was already reaching out to establish greater connection, greater depth, greater integration. That process would become:
"…[a] network of links…a nervous system…a closely interdependent network…over the whole earth…" (The Phenomenon of Man)
If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. Teilhard has been credited with anticipating the internet before it was even a glimmer in DARPA's eye.
But Teilhard's vision didn't stop with the emergence of a noosphere and a global nervous system. His "curve of evolution" kept going, tracing out ever-increasing complexity, intelligence, and connection.
The Emergence of Superintelligence
This pointed to one thing: an emerging superorganism.
Teilhard called this "The Omega Point." These days, we call it "the Singularity." The idea is the same: at some point, . . .
It sounds like Big Brother's wet dream
Vizio Smart TVs spy on their owners and sell what they learned. How far away is blackmail?
Man, today is nothing but sf novels come to life: DARPA Is About to Start Testing an Autonomous, Submarine-Hunting Ocean Drone
In fact, I think I've read this one. Doesn't it sound familiar?
And this is a vignette from a Philip K. Dick novel, a chapter called "Deputy Florida Man."
And if you give the religions exotic names, this clear conflict is seen in many a novel placed in other worlds.

I had my rear replaced. The rear that was used to replace it was a 2003 as oppose to a 2002. Can a Transfer Case go bad by using a different rear.
Please Help

Student Fall School Supplies (the mad grab)
H. Hok
The list author says: "I am a poor student in college. I have discovered that all school supplies go on sale at one time during the year which is end of summer beginning of fall for a two week period. During that time frame you can significantly save on everything for school. The rest of the year the mark-up is insane like 50 cent packs of paper are four dollars. Also if you buy your books used on Amazon you can save quite a bit. If I start looking at least six months in advance I can find a 200 dollar text book for around 20 dollars. Sweet."

Kept up with a G37 Coupe today...
Actually, I was kind of surprised...I figured that car (Infiniti G37 Coupe) should've been able to outrun me.
We both ran through the gears hard...but no matter what he did, he couldn't shake me. I could see the look of frustration on his face every time he checked his rearview mirror and there I was (pair of Angel Eyes staring back at him) not more than 6 ft from his bumper the whole way, it must've seemed like I was glued to him...it was priceless!
As I said, I was surprised though, I really expected him to pull away from me, since he (supposedly) has more HP than I do.

Oyster: The Race
How well do you know Minneapolis? This Saturday's Oyster: The Race will test participants' knowledge of the Twin Cities with a series of feats requiring knowledge, intelligence, and athleticism. Teams of three will be running, walking, and biking through the city to reach various destinations where challenges await. Smart phones are encouraged. Past races have asked folks to race to the top of a building in order to read a clue seen only from high up, to sample beer and properly identify the brew, and to hit the road via bike to a farmers' market where raw oysters await. Who knows what you'll discover at this challenge. Proceeds from the event benefit local and national nonprofit organizations. Register at www.OysterTheRace.com.
