Warning! 10% Battery Left
Over years of working daily at a computer, we've come to see how similar it is to our human brain (or vice versa).

We've learned to recognize the signs:

New Zealand's school curriculum needs to take a lesson from video games to get kids more engaged in learning, according to Deputy Prime Minister Bill English.
At the opening of the seventh annual creative digital industries symposium Animfx in Wellington this morning, Mr English praised the ability of the gaming sector to get a hold on New Zealand's younger generation.
Government, he said, would like to capture some of the gaming sector's capacity to engage and stimulate kids and apply that in an educational context.
"I suspect that is going to be one of our single biggest challenges in education over the next few years, for the government - and I mean the state, not just in a political sense - whose educational processes are built around the industrial revolution to provide an environment where young New Zealanders', whose minds are being trained by you, are able to learn a broader set of skills," Mr English told an audience of gaming and animation professionals and students.
The father of six children, Mr English said that like every other parent in the developed world he fought the gaming industry for the hearts, minds and attention of his kids but was "fascinated" by how games had an impact on the way young people think.
"What strikes me is the sheer complexity quite young people are grappling with when they're participating. When I think about what I was thinking about when I was a ten year old I'd have to say it was nothing like the kind of decision making processes that our kids and young people go through as they balance a whole lot of complexity and decision making in finding their way through the challenges [video games] set for them."
He said children learned "pretty quickly" there were consequences to their actions by playing video games, where their choices of how to move a character through a digital world could mean a triumphant win or instant 'game over'.
The Animfx conference, organised by the New Zealand Games Animation and Visual Effects (GAV) Trust runs for three days. Speakers include Patrick Lie, creative director at Angry Birds maker Rovio and Jeffrey Conrad, president of American Greetings Properties which created Strawberry Shortcake and the Care Bears.

Title: Replacement for dead oak tree after hurricane
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:Mr. Smarty Plants, It still is hard to believe but my dead Oak tree survived H.Ike! Now that I've gotten that dreaded letter from the HOA, they want me to replace it with at least a 45 gallon tree. Is it an old wives tale that you can't plant another oak there? I'd be glad to send a picture of this sad tree. I was thinking of replacing it with LBJ Magnolia tree. Any thoughts?
Hurricane Ike was truly a disaster, and this is the second question we have received from Pearland on tree replacements. See this previous answer, which covers types of oaks recommended for replacement by an HOA. We mention this because we're curious as to why your oak tree died. You didn't say what oak you have, but you'll notice in the answer we linked you to that several oaks are very susceptible to oak wilt. We couldn't find any substantiation to the idea that you could not plant another oak where one had already grown. Oaks do provide themselves with some protection from other plants encroaching on their territory, defending root space, nutrient availability and water, as do many other plants; see this previous answer on allelopathy of oaks. But, if your tree died of some disease, if for no other reason, we would recommend you not replace it with another oak, at least not one susceptible to oak wilt.
We would recommend that you get a trained arborist to assist you with this. In the first place, removal of the dead oak is going to be necessary, including checking for disease. In the second place, planting a 45 gallon tree is a job for specialized equipment and knowledgeable personnel. If your HOA did not give you a list of replacement trees from which to choose, we have three that we would recommend, including a magnolia, since you indicated you were interested in planting one.
Magnolia grandiflora (southern magnolia) - relatively fast-growing, difficult to grow anything under it because of deep shade, evergreen
Quercus macrocarpa (bur oak) resistant to oak wilt, drought resistant, long-lived, relatively fast-growing, resistant to air pollution
Ulmus crassifolia (cedar elm) - hardy, drought resistant, adaptable to broad range of soil types

A 3-year-old Swedish boy who was being groomed by his radicalized mother to be a part of the next generation of Islamic State jihadis has died after he accidentally blew himself up with a hand grenade in Syria.
According to the Swedish news outlet SVT, the unnamed boy and his older siblings were taken from western Sweden to an area of Syria controlled by IS (also known as ISIS, ISIL or Daesh) by their mother when the now-slain boy was just 2 years old.
The mother reportedly said she wanted her sons to grow up to be IS militants before one was killed after he found a grenade in the family's home and began playing with it. As the boy played with the grenade he reportedly tripped, which caused an explosion that led to his death. more >>
Top Islamic clerics in Saudi Arabia have spoken out in outrage against the Islamic State terror group following three suicide bombings in the country, including one near the Prophet's Mosque in Medina, which is Islam's second holiest site.
The Senior Council of Ulema said the bombers "violated everything that is sacred" in their attacks against the holy sites. BBC News noted that four security guards were killed in the bombing in Medina, though only the terrorists died in two other separate attacks in Jeddah and Qatif on Monday.
IS has carried out a number of violent attacks throughout the Islamic holy month of Ramadan in predominantly Muslim countries, such as Turkey, Bangladesh and Iraq. more >>
A human rights group has warned that minorities in Iraq, including Christians, are facing a "catastrophic" reality with tens of thousands of people murdered or abducted by terror groups.
"The impact on minorities has been catastrophic. Saddam [Hussein] was terrible; the situation since is worse. Tens of thousands of minorities have been killed and millions have fled for their lives," said Mark Lattimer, head of Minority Rights Group, according to the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
The Christian population was as many as 1.4 million in Iraq back in 2003 during the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein, but that number has dwindled since. In October 2015, Aid to the Church in Need said that only 300,000 Christians were left, but MRG says that number is now down further to somewhere between 50,000 to 250,000. more >>
BAGHDAD — The death toll from a suicide bombing in a Baghdad shopping district has risen to over 150, fuelling calls for security forces to crack down on Islamic State sleeper cells blamed for one of the worst ever single bombings in Iraq.
Numbers rose as bodies were recovered from the rubble in the Karrada area of Baghdad, where a refrigerator truck packed with explosives blew up on Saturday night when people were out celebrating the holy month of Ramadan.
The toll in Karrada stood at 151 killed and 200 wounded by midday on Monday, according to police and medical sources. Rescuers and families were still looking for 35 missing people. more >>
Academy-Award-winning actor and filmmaker Mel Gibson has teamed up with Lionsgate for an inspirational film about a World War II soldier, Desmond Doss, who proves that the only weapon needed on the battlefield is prayer.
"Hacksaw Ridge" is the extraordinary true story of WWII medic Desmond Doss, played by Andrew Garfield ("The Amazing Spider Man"), who in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of WWII miraculously saves 75 men in a matter of hours without firing or carrying a gun.
Doss served as a Private First Class in the U.S. Army but refused to kill or carry a weapon into combat because of his personal beliefs as a Seventh-day Adventist. Consequently he thought it was fitting to become a medic during the war. more >>
In its latest gruesome publicized execution video, the Islamic State terrorist organization beheaded five men accused of spying after forcing them to reenact the crimes they were accused of.
According to Heavy.com, a website that documents and republishes IS (also known as ISIS, ISIL and Daesh) execution and propaganda videos, the barbaric militant organizations released a new video on various pro-IS media platforms Tuesday titled "Story of Slaughter." The 21-minute video, features five men accused of being members of the U.S.-backed New Syrian Army rebel faction being executed as spies.
In the video, the men were each forced to reenact their crimes against IS in cinematic scenes that imitate criminal reenactments seen in Western television crime dramas. more >>

Farmers are used to optimizing crop production on their own lands. They do soil tests to choose the right amount of fertilizers to apply, and they sometimes plant row crops on some fields while keeping others in pasture.
But is it possible to optimize production across a much bigger area—say, the whole East Coast of the United States? That's the question a team of USDA-ARS scientists in Beltsville, MD, has begun to tackle by developing a sophisticated new modeling tool.
Known as the Geospatial Agricultural Management and Crop Assessment Framework (GAMCAF), the tool brings together crop models that estimate plant growth and crop yield at scales as fine as 30 meters (90 feet), with spatial sources of information on soils, water, land use, and other factors.
Crop models aren't normally designed to work automatically with spatial data, explains Jonathan Resop, who led the platform's development as a USDA-ARS postdoc. Now, the new interface—published in the Jan.-Feb. 2014 issue of Agronomy Journal—allows exactly that.
"This way, we can make much larger predictions [of yields] across the entire regional scale," Resop says. But, he adds, "The real power of this framework is that it lets you look at different scenarios of land use change, water, and climate change." For example, what will happen to production if more farmland is lost to development, or if average growing season temperatures rise substantially in coming decades?
What's driving the research are mounting concerns about food security across the Eastern Seaboard Region (ESR). The 13 states between Maine and Virginia (plus the District of Columbia) now have nearly 25% of the U.S. population but only 5-6% of U.S. farmland. The ESR also imports up to 75-80% of its fruits and vegetables from distant places like California.
The region is wealthy enough to import all the food it needs, says USDA-ARS researcher Dave Fleisher, who leads the overall project. "But there are also many urban centers where people don't have access to fresh fruits and vegetables, and there are a substantial number of people who are food insecure." Add in uncertainties like climate change and volatile transportation prices, and it's clear why many people think the ESR should meet more of its own food needs.
"So, the big question from my perspective is: what are the biophysical constraints that limit agricultural production in this region?" Fleisher asks, such as soil quality, water availability, and the amount of cropland. It's a complicated question to answer for the entire ESR at once, so he, Resop and their collaborators started with a single crop: potato.
Why potato? It's a staple food, for one, and yet the ESR grows only about 30% of the potatoes it consumes, according to U.S. Census data. Fleisher's team has also been working on potato crop model for a decade now, making it a good first candidate for integrating into GAMCAF.
When the team used GAMCAF to predict how many potatoes the Eastern Seaboard could produce if all of its farmland was devoted to this single commodity, they found the production capacity could be increased by as much as 40% over baseline values. Capacity did drop off significantly from north to south—which was expected because potato is a cool-season crop—and lower yields were also correlated with denser, high clay soils.
Another key finding centered on water management. "Increasing irrigation, particularly in areas where potato farms are typically rain-fed [such as Pennsylvania] could result in substantial yield increases," Fleisher says.
Of course, these scenarios are hypothetical—the ESR would never put all of its farmland into just one commodity. Fleisher has now added a corn crop model to GAMCAF, is integrating a wheat model, and hopes to add many more. Once other models are included, the scientists can begin examining trade-offs: for example, where in the ESR does potato grow best versus corn or soybean or broccoli? "It's a way to optimize the spatial production of our commodities for our regional needs," he says.
Moroever, the platform now includes climate data, enabling predictions of how future temperature and precipitation scenarios will affect crop yields. It can also examine the effects of land use changes such as farmland loss—or, conversely—of bringing abandoned farmland in places like Maine back into production. Eventually, it might even be used to make similar forecasts for other U.S. regions or the entire country, the scientists say.
But that's not the end of it. The research is part of a much larger effort called "Enhancing Food Security in the Northeast with Regional Food Systems" (EFSNE), led by Penn State University. Funded by USDA-National Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA), EFSNE is investigating the benefits that increased regional food production may hold both for consumers—especially in disadvantaged neighborhoods—and for local farmers, retailers, distributors, and others in the food supply chain.
The goal, in other words, isn't just to see how much food the Northeast can grow. Says Fleisher, "We also want to know: what is the value of regionally produced food?"
Resop and Fleisher's work was funded by USDA-ARS and the USDA-NIFA grant to the EFSNE project. For more on EFSNE, visit: http://agsci.psu.edu/research/food-security.

Chicago Cubs news, rumors and injuries
Cubs | Aroldis Chapman makes Cubs debut
Wed, 27 Jul 2016 23:11:16 -0700
Chicago Cubs RP Aroldis Chapman pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday, July 27. He struck out two of the three hitters he faced.
Fantasy Tip: Chicago blew open a tight game in the bottom of the eighth, but they still took the opportunity to give Chapman some work. The power southpaw touched 103 on the gun and overmatched the White Sox hitters he faced. Chapman is an elite closer and must-own in all formats.

Cubs | Kris Bryant hits first post-break HR
Wed, 27 Jul 2016 23:03:15 -0700
Chicago Cubs 3B Kris Bryant went 1-for-3 with a home run and two runs scored against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday, July 27. It was Bryant's 26th home run this season but first since July 5.
Fantasy Tip: It's not as if you were going to bench the MVP candidate, but it's still nice to see some pop from Bryant after 10 of his 12 hits since the All-Star break were singles heading into play on Wednesday.

Cubs | Addison Russell hits grand slam
Wed, 27 Jul 2016 22:57:05 -0700
Chicago Cubs SS Addison Russell was 1-for-4 with a grand slam against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday, July 27.
Fantasy Tip: Russell hasn't been an elite producer this season, but his 60 RBI are fifth-best among major-league shortstops, and he's currently enjoying his best month of 2016: .288-4-19 in 80 July ABs. He's a quality deep-mixed option and marginal starter in standard leagues.

Cubs | Jason Hammel shuts down White Sox
Wed, 27 Jul 2016 22:53:01 -0700
Chicago Cubs SP Jason Hammel yielded one run on five hits in seven innings of work against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday, July 27. He walked two and struck out seven while improving to 10-5.
Fantasy Tip: Hammel has allowed two runs or less in five of his last six starts and just logged his third consecutive "W." He has been a consistent performer this season and is someone that should be a fixture in your fantasy rotation.

Mariners | Nelson Cruz will be back vs. Cubs
Wed, 27 Jul 2016 13:04:52 -0700
Updating a previous report, Seattle Mariners OF Nelson Cruz (leg) was given the game off Wednesday, July 27, after fouling a ball off his left leg Tuesday, July 26, according to manager Scott Servais. Servais noted Cruz is available to pinch hit Wednesday and will return to the lineup against the Chicago Cubs Friday, July 29.
Fantasy Tip: Don't fret the injury, and be ready to return Cruz to your lineups Friday. Reiterating a previous tip, the slugger has been as advertised this season with 25 home runs and 66 RBI.

Cubs | Jason Heyward dropped further in lineup
Wed, 27 Jul 2016 12:41:55 -0700
Chicago Cubs OF Jason Heyward is batting seventh, and C Miguel Montero is batting fifth against Chicago White Sox SP Anthony Ranaudo Wednesday, July 27. Cubs OF/C Willson Contreras is not in the starting lineup Wednesday.
Fantasy Tip: Heyward has been a total bust for the Cubs and sits with an underwhelming .228/.315/.315 slash line for the season. He's not a viable starter outside of deep mixed and NL-only settings. Montero is receiving more playing time of late and has a .346 on-base percentage since the All-Star break, but he's still nothing more than a low-end fantasy option in deep leagues. Contreras is worth owning universally.

White Sox | James Shields shuts down Cubs
Tue, 26 Jul 2016 22:46:09 -0700
Chicago White Sox SP James Shields gave up four hits and four walks over 7 2/3 scoreless innings against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday, July 26. He struck out seven.
Fantasy Tip: Through three starts with the Pale Hose, Shields was 0-2 with a 21.81 ERA. In seven starts since, he's 3-3 with a 2.11 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP. The veteran's strikeouts are way down with the ChiSox (24 in 48 IP), but those ratios give Shields some appeal in AL-only and deeper mixed leagues.

Cubs | Kyle Hendricks' scoreless inning streak snapped
Tue, 26 Jul 2016 22:38:31 -0700
Chicago Cubs SP Kyle Hendricks allowed three runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday, July 26. He surrendered a run in the first, ending his string of consecutive scoreless innings at 19 1/3. Hendricks walked two and struck out seven in the loss.
Fantasy Tip: Not only was Hendricks' scoreless steak stopped at 19 1/3, his win streak ended at five as he lost for the first time since June 13. That being said, Hendricks still struck out seven and is one of the better fantasy pitchers out there. Make sure he's in your lineup next time he takes the bump.

Cubs | Jorge Soler getting close to return
Tue, 26 Jul 2016 22:29:35 -0700
Chicago Cubs OF Jorge Soler (hamstring) needs just nine or 10 additional at-bats for Class AAA Iowa before returning to the parent club according to manager Joe Maddon. Soler has been on the DL since June 7.
Fantasy Tip: Soler posted a soft .223-5-13 line in semi-regular playing time prior to getting hurt, and he'll be rejoining a crowded Cubs outfield whenever he returns. He should be stashed in NL-only leagues. Beyond that, you're just hoping he catches fire and writes his name into the lineup more often.

Cubs | Willson Contreras not in Tuesday lineup
Tue, 26 Jul 2016 13:42:31 -0700
Chicago Cubs C Willson Contreras is not in the lineup Tuesday, July 26, against the Chicago White Sox. C Miguel Montero will bat eighth against White Sox SP James Shields.
Fantasy Tip: The presence of a DH has thrown off the lineup a bit. Kris Bryant is the DH and Tommy LaStella is at third, for example. Montero is hitting .204-5-21 and doesn't carry much fantasy value in place of Contreras.

Cubs | Jake Arrieta's struggles continue
Tue, 26 Jul 2016 00:20:03 -0700
Chicago Cubs SP Jake Arrieta allowed four runs in six innings against the Chicago White Sox Monday, July 25, in a 5-4 loss. Arrieta has just one win in his last six outings.
Fantasy Tip: What has happened to Arrieta? That is the major question that many fans would love to know. You're almost afraid to take him out of the lineup for fear the Arrieta of the first half will re-emerge and leave you hanging. But it's clear something isn't right. It's likely just a midseason slump, so let Arrieta work through it and then stick him back in your lineup.

Cubs | Three hits for Javier Baez
Tue, 26 Jul 2016 00:13:24 -0700
Chicago Cubs 2B Javier Baez came up with three hits Monday, July 25, in a 5-4 loss to the Chicago White Sox.
Fantasy Tip: Baez is at .285-9-33 with eight stolen bases, and he joins the litany of Cubs that are worth their weight in gold in daily and regular formats. He plays often enough to merit consideration in both.

White Sox | Brett Lawrie still out vs. Cubs
Mon, 25 Jul 2016 15:04:37 -0700
Chicago White Sox 2B Brett Lawrie (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup Monday, July 25. SS Tyler Saladino is starting at second base and is hitting ninth against Chicago Cubs SP Jake Arrieta.
Fantasy Tip: Lawrie hasn't played since last Thursday, so he could be a DL candidate if he needs to miss anymore time. Plan accordingly. Saladino doesn't move the fantasy needle much as a replacement and faces a very tough matchup in Arrieta Monday. Ignore him in all fantasy formats.

White Sox | Anthony Ranaudo facing Cubs Wednesday
Mon, 25 Jul 2016 14:27:39 -0700
Chicago White Sox SP Anthony Ranaudo will start against the Chicago Cubs Wednesday, July 27.
Fantasy Tip: Renaudo owns a 3.20 ERA through 13 starts with Class AAA Charlotte and is a former top prospect. He also had an underwhelming 6.1 K/9, though. He's a risky start given his track record in the league (6.33 ERA), and especially against an admirable opponent. Don't fret fading Renaudo in all fantasy formats Wednesday.

Cubs | Willson Contreras, Javier Baez starting
Mon, 25 Jul 2016 14:15:15 -0700
Chicago Cubs C/OF Willson Contreras is starting in left field and batting fifth, and INF Javier Baez is starting at second base and batting ninth against Chicago White Sox SP Miguel Gonzalez Monday, July 25.
Fantasy Tip: With an option to utilize a designated hitter Monday, Chicago can plug both youngsters into the lineup. Contreras is a capable starting catcher in all formats given his .277/.372/.482 slash line, and Baez is a rising fantasy talent. The fielding wizard has also held his own at the dish with 29 runs, nine home runs, 33 RBI, eight stolen bases and a .285/.327/.452 slash line over 254 plate appearances.

This is the 39th income report as part of the zero backlink experiment.
Every month I will publish a post like this one that shows you how this blog is progressing and everything I have done across the month to get it there.
These reports will help me track my own progress while teaching you what to do and more importantly what not to do.
What I Have Done In December
Honestly this month, I have tried my hardest to do as little as possible.
After a crazy couple of months of solid work I decided to take my foot off the gas and take some time to enjoy life rather than sitting in front of the computer.
That means that I have a bunch of things to catch up on in the next week but I will worry about that next week.
I have also had a lot of spare time to ponder what direction I want to take things in over the next year. There is huge room for improvement across all areas of the blog and I will send out a short survey next week to gather some reader feedback.
Until then though, I am going to keep this income report short and sweet because no one likes working on the 1st of January right?
Help Me, Help You!
As we move into the New Year I can't help but wonder which direction to take the blog in this year.
I have a lot of conflicting thoughts and ideas, so I decided to ask you – the reader!
So I have put together a short survey which will ultimately decide what will happen to the blog over the next 12 months.
This is the first time I have ever created an audience survey for the blog and I expect the results will be very interesting.
I will also be jumping on the phone with some of the people that complete the survey to learn a little more and give some free advice to help you out at the same time.
Please click here to take the survey now.
Content Creation
Last month I published a total of 4 posts which has remained steady this month.
I kicked the month off by showing best settings for gsa search engine ranker.
Then we took a look at how to write a cold call email that ALWAYS get a response.
If you want to learn how to start a blog then this 8 point authority blog creation checklist should help you out!
Other than those we just had the regular income report roundup post and I didn't get round to writing the best of internet marketing feature this month.
Crunching The Numbers
So let's get our hands dirty and take a look at what my lack of attention to the blog has done to the important metrics.
Visitor Statistics
Traffic dropped from 47,319 (1,577/day) last month to 46,223 (1,491/day) this month which is an expected seasonal drop off.
Most Popular Content
The GSA Search Engine Ranker optimisation tutorial stole the show this month in terms of traffic.
Not far behind it was a tutorial on how to make money on Fiverr and the 8 point blog checklist.
Top Traffic Sources
Like last month Not much has changed really in terms of the top traffic sources this month.
Search Engine Traffic
Traffic from Google saw a small drop off this month from 37,603 (1,253/day) compared to 34,652 (1,117/day) last month.
YouTube Views
I lost all of my historical YouTube views because of changes I made to the branding – so I keep track of them separately.
YouTube views grew took a small hit this month from 21,918 to 20,731 which also had an impact on total minutes watched dropping from 110,532 to 101,250.
Social Shares
Important Note: This month Twitter stopped showing the actual share count which makes reporting on social shares from Twitter impossible.
This month the total social shares across Facebook and Google+ increased from 47,303 to 47,660.
The most important metric on the entire blog – earning a subscription from someone is the ultimate form of commitment and conversion.
This month brought 1,490 new subscribers which is a sharp drop from last months 2,181.
There are now a total of 127,880 subscribers across all of the various channels!
- E-mail – 919 (956 last month) / Total: 69,483
- Twitter – 205 (303 last month) / Total: 10,708
- YouTube – 265 (295 last month) / Total: 9,991
- Facebook – 218 (520 last month) / Total: 19,446
- Google+ – 1 (10 last month) / Total: 17,890
- RSS – -118 (97 last month) / Total: 362

Consultation Earnings
I separate out the consultation earnings from the affiliate earnings. The blog drives affiliate sales directly and whilst it does generate consultation leads these are separate projects in their own right.
I didn't take on any consultation work this month which results in zero consultation earnings.
Other Income
I'm working on another project right now that is part of the blog but not something I'm ready to talk about publicly yet or maybe ever.
I will declare the income here though as it wouldn't be possible without the blog and 'technically' it is affiliate income.

Grand Total: $31,286.01 / £21,225.97 ($27,552.76 / £18,444.37 last month)
Unable to post graphs at the moment – will update asap
Signing Off
One of the most weird trends I consistently see on the blog is when I take a large period of time off, earnings increase.
I don't know why it happens but it happens every single time!
As we move into 2016 I have a huge list of improvements and changes I want to make to the blog which all starts with this survey.
Once I have your feedback and followed up with you on the phone, I'm going to turn that into my master plan for the year with my immediate focus on improving the overall user experience.
I have also come to realise that I need to hire a full time blog manager and perhaps even a full time SEO assistant to help support growth over the next 12 months.
I'm going to take the rest of the month to collect all of my thoughts and your feedback into an awesome plan of attack before releasing the hounds!
Thank you to everyone that has helped me reach my goals – I couldn't do it without you, the reader!

This invention relates to a conversion kit to facilitate the mounting of substitute equipment such as a radio, or equalizer in an automobile instrument panel, such equipment substituted for the original equipment radio.
It has become quite common in the contemporary automobile market for owners to want to substitute for the original equipment radio, (or dummy panel when the car comes equipped without a radio), that is in the car when new, a radio of a different type. Typically, the original equipment radio is mounted to install in a cavity in the instrument panel of the automobile, with a trim frame or panel around the control panel of the radio.
Present day automobiles differ in style and appearance including the size and location of the cavity in which the radio is installed. Conversion kits have been available wherein a frame is inserted into the cavity after the radio. However, a large assortment of different conversion kits is necessary in order to fill the requirements of different automobiles having different instrument panel designs.
Thus, there is a strong need in the art for a conversion kit having the capability of serving its purpose in a large variety of different automobiles, especially to convert to use of a DIN radio and/or equalizer (tone control) chassis.
It is a major object of the invention to provide a simple yet universal conversion kit, which will meet the above need. Basically, the invention is embodied in a device which comprises:
(a) a box-like molded plastic frame having wall means including relatively thin walls and a main front panel interconnecting the end walls,
(b) through openings in certain of said walls to pass fasteners that connect external brackets to the walls,
(c) and ribs integral with and outstanding from said certain walls and extending frontwardly and rearwardly toward said openings, whereby corresponding grooves in the brackets may closely interfit the ribs to block twisting of the brackets.
As will be seen, the main front panel typically has a front face, and break-away means may be provided to comprise a thin wall or walls generally parallel to said front face but offset sidewardly and rearwardly relative thereto.
It is another object of the invention to provide a front sub-panel overlying the break-away means and having a front face substantially flush with the front face of the main front panel, the sub-panel also forming forward through openings in shaft passing registration with the through openings in the break-away means, the sub-panel rearwardly carried by the frame.
Another object is to provide on the front panel a step shoulder below the sub-panel, said front panel defining a generally rectangular through opening for registration with an auxiliary frame, said rectangular through opening located below said step shoulder. In this regard, the auxiliary frame may be defined by one of the following:
(a) a radio equalizer chassis
(b) a storage compartment.
It is a further object to provide the end walls of the frame with multiple forwardly and rearwardly extending ribs that interfit bracket grooves, as described, the ribs extending toward differently positioned openings through such walls. Accordingly, brackets can be selectively positioned on different ribs and with bracket openings registered over selected openings in the walls, to interfit and connect different vehicle dash structures. Provision is made for flush mounting of the radio chassis in the frame, as by drawing the fasteners into the end wall structure during fastener tightening. Certain fasteners connect only to the frame walls, and other fasteners connect to the chassis, within the frame, as will be described. Also, the brackets can extend to the top or bottom wall of the frame.
The invention is especially adapted to mounting DIN radios to Toyota vehicles, and as replacements for radios in such vehicles.
These and other objects and advantages of the invention, as well as the details of an illustrative embodiment, will be more fully understood from the following specification and drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing use of the box-like frame and sub-panel means of the invention for reception of one type radio, and with break-away means in place;

FIG. 3 is a front elevation showing outline shape of the DIN radio related to an enlarged front panel opening of the box frame;
FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing provision by the frame for simultaneous reception of an auxiliary circuit chassis such as an equalizer (tone control) chassis;
FIG. 5 is a view like FIG. 4 wherein a pocket or storage is alternately receivable by the frame;
FIG. 6 is a view like FIG. 1, showing application to a dash replacement installation;
FIG. 7 is a fragmentrary exploded view showing a mounting brackets selectively attachable to a frame end wall;
FIG. 8 is a section showing bracket reception and slidable and guidance upon an end wall rail;
FIG. 9a is a section on lines 9a-9a of FIG. 8;
FIG. 9b is a section on lines 9b-9b of FIG. 8;
FIG. 10 is a vertical section showing the frame front panel and multiple chassis attachment;
FIG. 11a is a section showing fastener attachment of the frame thin wall to a radio chassis;
FIG. 11b is a side elevation on lines 11b-11b of FIG. 11a;
FIG. 12 is a rear elevational view of the frame or housing that incorporates the invention:
FIG. 13 is a side elevational view of the FIG. 12 frame;
FIG. 14a is a perspective view of a corner of the frame, and a mounting bracket; and
FIG. 14b is an end view of the bracket seen in FIG. 14a.
The assembly seen in FIG. 1 includes a vehicle dash mounted radio 10 (Toyota, for example) having tuning (station selection and volume control) shafts 11 and 12 projecting forwardly from the chassis 13, and at opposite ends of instruments 14 contained in a reduced size rectangular sub-housing 15.
The radio normally has a removable face plate 16 provided with shaft-passing openings 17 and 18.
In accordance with the invention, a box-like, molded plastic housing or frame 20 is provided, and is rearwardly open for reception into the frame of the forward extent of chassis 13. The frame has wall means including upright relatively thin end walls 21 and 22, top and bottom walls 23 and 24, and a main front panel 25 interconnecting the walls 21-24, by integral molding to the forward ends of such walls. See panel 25 in FIGS. 10 and 12.
Extending the description to FIG. 10, the front panel 25 has a narrow, horizontally elongated step shoulder 26 below and forwardly of an upright front face 27. A sub-panel 28 fits in the space directly above the shoulder 26 and directly forward of the front face 27, the sub-panel extending lengthwise to sub-tend the forward edges of end walls 21 and 22. The width of the sub-panel equals the width of shoulder 26 so that it together with the frame form a block shape.
The housing also includes plastic break-away means, such as thin sub-walls 31 and 32 integral with the housing and associated with the front panel. The sub-walls are located directly rearwardly of the sub-panel. The thin sub-walls form through openings 31a and 32a in registration with through openings 28a and 28b, in sub-panel 28 and also in registration with face plate openings 17 and 18 for passing the tuning shafts 11 and 12. FIG. 10 shows sub-panel 28 held in position against the sub-walls 31 and 32 as by the face plate 16. The latter is in turn clamped rightwardly by the nuts 34 threaded on shafts 11 and 12; and a tuning knob 37 presses on the end of a rotary inner shaft 11a passing through outer shaft 11 to a variable impedance (such as a variable capacitor) within chassis 13. The front face of sub-panel 28 is then flush with the front surface 25a of the main front panel, below sub-panel 28.
The break-away means such as sub-walls 31 and 32 are shown as broken away along edges 31b and 32b, in FIG. 2, whereby the front opening in the main front panel is enlarged as at 39'. (The opening is reduced at 39 in FIG. 1, to fittingly accept the sub-housing 15 of chassis 13). Relieved upper and lower edges 150 and 151 of each sub-wall assist such break-away. In FIG. 2, the enlarged opening fittingly accepts or registers with the larger chassis 40 of a DIN radio 41. Also, the DIN radio chassis typically projects through opening 39' and over the ledge or step shoulder 26; and sub-panel 28 is then not employed, i.e. it is removed along with break-out walls 31 and 32. A DIN radio panel or plate is then substituted for 28.
FIG. 3 shows the edge outline at 44-46 of the DIN radio chassis 40 as related to the break-out wall 32, looking forwardly relative to housing 13, and prior to break-out of those walls or sub-panels 31 and 32. The thin plastic sub-panels have certain relieved edges 150 and 151 proximate but spaced from the frame walls, and other edges 152-154 integral with the frame.
The front panel 25 also defines a generally rectangular through (access) opening 49 for registration with an auxiliary frame. In FIGS. 5 and 10 the auxiliary frame comprises a pocket or receptacle 50 which opens frontwardly at 51, so as to be manually accessible at 53 to the user, for storage of small articles (keys, pencils, etc.) at 52. A fastener or fasteners 54 project through openings 55 in the housing end walls and into openings 56 in the walls at 57 of the receptacle 50, to retain it in position. Note peripheral flange 58 at the interior mouth of the receptacle to seat against the panel 25.
Alternatively, and as seen in FIG. 4, an equalizer chassis 60 registers with opening 49, and the front (instrument) face 61 of that chassis may project into or through the rectangular access opening 49. Again, fasteners extend through openings in the frame end walls and into openings 63 in the side walls of chassis 60, to retain it in position. Such fastener comprises tightenable, threaded fasteners.
FIGS. 7 and 8 shows the provision of an L-shaped bracket 70 usable to connect the frame or housing 20 to the dash structure. Bracket leg 71 is adjustably attachable to end wall 22, and to the chassis 13, as via one of the openings 72-101a in that wall, adjustably registrable with one of the through openings 76-80 in leg 71. A stud or threaded fastener 88 attaches through the registered openings.
As seen in FIG. 9b, the fasteners 88 typically have axially extending ribs 89 on heads 89a and which press into the end walls, upon tightening of nuts 89b to prevent or block fastener rotation. End walls 21 and 22 typically have thickness less than 1/16 inch, such fastener ribs being effective despite such extreme thinness of the walls.
Leg 72 of the bracket attaches via a fastener and opening 81, to dash structure. A similar bracket is employed at the opposite end of the housing, i.e. next to wall 21.
FIGS. 7, 8 and 9a show the endwise guidance of such a bracket leg 71 by forwardly and rearwardly extending rail 90 projecting outwardly form the end wall 22 of the housing. An elongated groove 91 sunk in leg 71 closely receive that guide rail. Such a rail also prevents twisting of the bracket leg 71, under torque load, relative to the housing. FIGS. 11a and 11b show fastener 120 attachment of wall 22 to chassis 13. Leg 71 is broken away in FIG. 11b.
FIGS. 12 and 13 are more detailed views of the housing or frame 20; and FIG. 13 shows the location of openings in the end wall 22 for reception of fasteners. Ribs or rails 95-101 extend outwardly from the end walls 21 and 22 and toward corresponding openings 95a-101a. Bracket legs like leg 71 are adapted to interfit such ribs, in the same manner as described above for leg 71 and rib 90, to prevent twisting of such brackets. The brackets used are different, for different vehicle models having different dash structure configuration to which bracket legs (such as leg 72) attach. The different holes 95a-101a correspond such different brackets used for different vehicles.
FIGS. 14a and 14b show an L-shaped bracket 110 having legs 110a and 110b fitting the upper corner 111 of the frame. Leg 110a is grooved at 112 to closely fit guide (and twist resisting) rib 112a on the top wall 23, and leg 110b is grooved at 113 to span and closely fit guide (and twist resisting) rib 90 and 95 on the side wall 21. The bracket may be shifted forwardly (in arrow direction 114) until an opening in the leg 110a registers over a corresponding opening on top wall 23, and a fastener 115 may then be attached in the same manner as shown in FIG. 9b. Nut 117 tightens down on the threaded shank of the fastener and a ribbed nut (like nut 89a) enters and attaches to the inner side of wall 23, as in FIG. 9b. A flange 120 intergral with leg 110b projects outwardly for attachment to representative dash structure indicated at 121 in FIG. 14a, as via a fastener 122, and openings 123 and 124, as shown.
All parts, except the fasteners, typically consists of molded plastic material.

Raising D Blood Levels Nicely!
Reviewer2961002发表于 Jul 03, 2010
Great product, based on actually raising my Vitamin D levels (25-hydroxy). After I bought these I saw the "how much do you need to raise your D" formula by the Vitamin D council and it was clear that 7,000 IU would be more appropriate for me, so I then also bought the similarly-formulated Country-Life 1,000 IU softgel product and take two of those at the same time as one of these. Based on the studies, I try to take my D with a meal every day, especially one containing fat. For reasons I won't go into, I retested my 25-hydroxy D at one month instead of the intended three months, and my level has already gone up from 20 to 40! Based on previously seeing my levels go *down* after 1 month on 1,000 IU of a dry D product taken at night, I was pleasantly surprised at how well it is working. I can't say I feel any different (at least not yet). And VERY IMPORTANTLY, I am monitoring very closely for any possible D-induced increase in my serum calcium, as having elevated (or even near-elevated) serum calcium generally confers MUCH more serious health risks than having below-range D. So far so good on that count, though, but since my serum calcium's in the high-9's already I need to be careful. Once I'm where I want to be on the D (ideally about 50 or 60), my "dilemma" will be figuring out how much to take ongoing to sustain that level instead of either continuing to increase or dropping back down.

These D3 softgels are great value for money and tiny as well!
Reviewer2427281发表于 Jan 17, 2010
Most people are deficient in vitamin D especially in the winter months. This was the dose recommended by Dr. Blaylock.
Great Product
Reviewer2621344发表于 Sep 02, 2009
Dr. prescribe me to take 5,000 IU daily because of a Vitamin D deficiency. Love this brand so easy to swallow and I feel the gel tables work better than the hard tables.
Pure Excellence!
Reviewer1064247发表于 Mar 16, 2010
From the website, to the service, to the product itself (Country Life, Vitamin D3) this company gets A+++ for their pure excellence!
D3, Country life
