The first in a new "prequel" series from one of the premier writers of fantasy and science fiction, Phylogenesis traces the origins of bestselling author Alan Dean Foster's highly popular novels of the Commonwealth (For Love of Mother-Not, The Tar-Aiym Krang, etc.). Here Foster presents the reader with a science-fiction spectacle that is a quest for both inspiration and redemption, beginning with the love of poetry and ending with the mutual respect and union of two worlds. Narrative threads of adventure and well-done characterization twine together to form a profound tale of conflict, interplanetary fellowship, and poetry's place in an always unpredictable and dangerous universe.
On the planet of Willow-Wane a precarious truce exists between the insectoid thranx and the smaller but much more aggressive community of the lizard-like AAnn. Rumors arrive that other sentient beings have arrived on the planet, a group of intelligent mammals called Humans. Desvendapur is a thranx poet suffering from a stagnant career and lack of creative inspiration. Unsure if the supposed secret colony of Humans at Honydrop is only gossip or a conspiracy of his world government, Des sets out to learn the truth in the hope of finding his muse again. Hidden in a secluded complex on a high plateau of ice and snow where none of the humidity-loving insectoids dare roam, Desvendapur discovers that there is indeed a human settlement on Willow-Wane. He learns that it is part of a huge project devoted to greater understanding and interaction between the two species. Through a series of liesandfalsified information, Desvendapur immediately gives up his identity as a poet to become a food technician at the complex.
Des studies all he can about this strange new race, even learning the rudiments of their unwieldy language. After inadvertently wandering outside into the snow, Des is saved by a man and suddenly finds his poetic imagination fired once more. Des is eventually transferred to the Amazon forest on Earth to take part in an exchange project. There, he meets Cheelo Montoya, a small-time criminal trying to gain a better position in a local crime syndicate. Cheelo is on the run for accidentally murdering a mugging victim, and together he and Des travel and learn more about one another and each other's race. Soon, AAnn forces are tracking them, as man and thranx become bound in friendship and eventually in blood.
As always, Foster manages to infuse his polished writing with a true sense of realism and easy readability. With a cast that ranges across three intelligent species and a number of class systems, we see how societies not only interact with other cultures, but also which internal problems, complexities, and intrinsic values are present within them at any given time. Foster offers a wonderful balance in Phylogenesis, instilling in Desvendapur a voracious muse for which he will sacrifice almost anything. This is more than just the hub around which the plot revolves, it's an utterly engaging element showing the true humanity of the creative individual. Foster is skilled at capturing several character traits at once, as well as at fashioning various underlying plotlines and dramatic tension. Again he gives us a perfectly-wrought and intriguing novel, with a multi-faceted narrative vision that allows the reader a greater understanding of the magnitude of such sprawling, poignant, and soulful SF elements.

Read an Excerpt
No one saw the attack coming. Probably someone, or several someones, ought to have been blamed. Certainly there was a convulsion of recriminations afterward. But since it is an unarguable fact that it is hard to apportion blameor even to assign itfor something that is without precedent, nascent calls for castigation of those responsible withered for lack of suitable subjects. Those who felt, rightly or wrongly, that they bore a share of the responsibility for what happened punished themselves far more severely than any traditional queen's court or council of peers would have.
For more than a hundred years, ever since there had been contact between AAnn and thranx, animosity had festered between the two species. Given such a fertile ground and sufficiency of time, mutual enmity had evolved to take many forms. Manifesting themselves on a regular basis that varied greatly in degree, these were usually propagated by the AAnn. While a constant source of vexation to the ever-reasonable thranx, these provocations rarely exceeded the bounds of irritation. The AAnn would probe and threaten, advance and connive, until the thranx had had enough and were compelled to react. When forcefully confronted, the AAnn would invariably pull back, give ground, retreat. The spiral arm that was shared by both heat-loving, oxygen-breathing species was big enough and rich enough in stars so that direct conflict, unless actively sought, could be avoided.
Habitable worlds, however, were scarcer. Where one of these was involved positions hardened, accusations flew more sharply, meticulously worded phrases tended to bite rather than soothe. Even so, the swift exchange of space-minus communications was always sufficient to dampen a potentially explosive confrontation. Until Willow-Wane. Until Paszex.
Worvendapur bent his head and reached up with a truhand to clean his left eye. Out on the edge of the forest the wind tended to kick up dust. Lowering the transparent, protective shield over his face, he reflexively extended his antennae through the slots provided for that purpose and moved on, striding forward on all six legs. Occasionally he would arch his back and advance only on his four trulegs, not because he needed the additional manipulative capacity his versatile foothands could provide, but because it raised his body to its maximum standing height of slightly over a meter and a half and enabled him to see over the meter-high, lavender-tinted grass that comprised much of the surrounding vegetation.
Something quick and chittering scuttled through the sedge close to his right. Using the truhand and foothand on that side of his thorax, he drew the rifle that was slung across his back and aimed it at the source of the noise, tensing in readiness. The muzzle of the weapon came up sharply as half a dozen !ccoerk burst from the meadow. Letting out a whistle of fourth-degree relief, he let a digit slip from the trigger and reholstered the gun.
Their plump brown bodies shot through with purple streaks, the flock of feathered !ccoerk fluttered toward the satin-surfaced lake, cooing like plastic batons that had been charged with static electricity. Beneath a feathered, concave belly one trailed an egg sac nearly as big as herself. Idly, Worvendapur found himself wondering if the eggs were edible. While Willow-Wane had been settled for more than two hundred years, development had been slow and gradual, in the conservative, measured manner of the thranx. Colonization had also been largely confined to the continents of the northern hemisphere. The south was still a vast, mostly unknown wilderness, a raw if accommodating frontier where new discoveries were constantly being made and one never knew what small marvel might be encountered beneath the next hill.
Hence his rifle. While Willow-Wane was no Trix, a world that swarmed with dynamic, carnivorous life-forms, it was still home to an intimidating assortment of energetic native predators. A settler had to watch his steps, especially in the wild, uncivilized south.
Tall, flexible blue sylux fringed the shore of the lake, an impressive body of fresh water that dominated the landscape for a considerable distance to the north. Its tepid, prolific expanse separated the rain forest, beneath which the settlement had been established, from inhospitable desert that dropped southward from the equator. Founded forty years ago, the burgeoning, thriving colony hive of Paszex was already sponsoring outlying satellite communities. Worvendapur's family, the Ven, was prominent in one of these, the agri town of Pasjenji.
While rain forest drip was adequate to supply the settlement's present water needs, plans for future growth and expansion demanded a larger and more reliable supply. Rather than going to the trouble and expense of building a reservoir, the obvious suggestion had been made that the settlement tap the ample natural resource of the lake. As the possessor of a subspecialty in hydrology, Wor had been sent out to scout suitable treatment and pipeline sites. Ideally, he would find one as close to the lake as possible that was also geologically stable and capable of supporting the necessary engineering infrastructure, from pumping station to filtration plant to feeder lines.
He had been out in the field for more than a week now, taking and analyzing soundings, confirming aerial surveys, evaluating potential locations for the treatment plant and transmission routes for the water it would eventually supply. Like any thranx, he missed the conviviality of the hive, the press and sound and smell of his kind. Regrettably, another week of solitary stretched out before him. The local fauna helped to divert his thoughts from his isolation. He relished these always educational, sometimes engaging diversions, so long as one of them did not rise up and bite off his leg.

Did I mean to write THANKS in the headline? NO.. I meant THRANXS. An alien species exclusive to Foster's scifi novel PHYLOGENESIS. A Thranks is 5 foot tall with eight useful appendages ( top two used as Tru-hands, next two called foot-hands, the rest are legs) that has the appearance of being your average intelligent and friendly preying mantis. I couldn't believe I read this novel with great interest. I'm sixty years old for crying out loud! But, when I began reading Alan Dean Foster's novel about these alien beings and one young poet renegade Thranks named Desvendapur aka Desvenbapur, I was taken away a few parsecs to an unexplored universe not traveled to by anyone in my domain. The Thranx poet Desvendapur becomes enthralled with the rumors of an alien species found somewhere a few light years left of nowhere. Through multi-segmented eyes of a Thranx poet did I begin a quest to learn as much as I could of the human species. Unrequited love of Jhywinhuran drives a love story weaved into the central plot of exploration. As well as, possibilities of a bloody conflict between Thranx and their reptilian alien enemies the AAnn. Allan Dean Foster's PHYLOGENEIS is an entertaining scifi novel for all ages. With slight aroma of C.S. Lewis's NARNIA (his books not the movie) versus PETER PAN, this makes for an excellents place to release your mind. This is the 1st novel of "FOUNDING OF THE COMMONWEALTH" trilogy. I'm looking forward to reading the other novels in this series.
Humans and Thranx have a great deal in common. Including disgust at each other's physiology. The two intelligent species that experienced first contact in Foster's earlier novel, NOR CRYSTAL TEARS, are working on a carefully planned continuum of establishing relations as PHYLOGENESIS opens. Meanwhile, the reptilian Aan - who have commonalities with both the insectoid Thranx and mammalian Humans - would dearly love to add either, or both, to their own growing empire. Thranx poet Desvandapur dreams of making himself immortal by finding unique inspiration, the kind that he believes meeting and interacting with Humans might provide. When he learns of a tightly guarded Human enclave on his home world, the Thranx colony of Willow-Wane, he maneuvers himself into that enclave only to be disappointed at the level of contact it actually offers. Then he's thrilled to find himself chosen to join a secret Thranx settlement on Earth itself, and disappointed yet again at not being able to spend time in Human company. So Desvandapur, who has already risked much for his art, sets off on his own into the heart of the Amazon. Where he meets a Human in an unsupervised setting, at last - who's not at all the kind of Human the rest of that species would have chosen to be their ambassador. This book is the first part of a trilogy, and as such it spends most of its pages setting up plot threads and establishing characters. It's a fun read just the same, because Foster's mastery at creating believable aliens (individuals and their social histories) is on full display here. One can feel Desvendapur's thrilled disgust at touching living Human flesh for the first time, right along with the character.
Phylogenesis is the prequel to very many Foster books. In this series the founding of the Humanx Commonwealth and it's relations to other species of aliens are explained. The story starts on Willow-Wane, a thranx colony world on the frontier. One of the main characters is from a very prominent family, the Ven of Paszex, that unfortunatly is nearly wiped out by the AAnn who also have claim to the planet. Desvendapur is one of three survivors of the Ven family. He is an uninspired poet that looks at life for inspiration for his poetry when he comes across a rumor that there may be a colony of bipedal mammalians known as Humans living on Willow-Wane. Following a lead he decides to go in to have a closer look. In his attemp to stay he inadvertantly kills the pilot that flew him in and is forced to live at the colony as an eigth level food preparator. Being extremely adaptable he learns food preparation and all he can about Humans. After working for so long he is promoted and transfered to the Project. Unbeknownst to him the Project is on Earth itself, the Human homeworld. The Project is in the, now safe, amazon basin where few dare to venture except for tourists and scientists. Bored with not being able to interact with these strange creatures he ventures to the surface and meets a small time criminal trying to make it BIG who has accidentaly commited manslaugther and is hiding from the authorities. After a while they become freinds, and grow to like each others alien quirks. Frightened by the way the two species are getting along the AAnn, a reptilian menace from the frontier, decide to pay them a visit and things go downhill from there. I liked the way that Foster expands on the minds and customs of the, always shrouded in mystery, thranx. The book does however go into minute detail and there is not much dialogue. For that i am sorely disappointed. All in all it was a farely good book and I hope to read the following in the trilogy.

"This underlines more starkly than ever the need to approve and implement the Paris Agreement on climate change, and to speed up the shift to low carbon economies and renewable energy," said WMO secretary-general Petteri Taalas.
"These multibillion dollar global organizations have potentially bilked the American people out of financial stability, national security, and the health and safety of our future generations by creating a false debate designed to protect their profits," said Annie Leonard, Greenpeace USA executive director.
The theory that California's water shortage is all the fault of the Environmental Protection Agency is, like most conspiracy theories, grounded in an actual fact. The EPA has, in fact, caused 800,000 acre-feet of water annually to be flushed into San Francisco Bay to maintain its marine ecosystem.
He told the working-class people of Indiana he'd do away with outsourcing. He told the people of North Dakota, America's second-leading producer of oil, he'd do away with energy regulations. And now, with the California primary a week away, he told the people of the nation's most populous state that their ongoing drought does not actually exist.
A group of Republican senators has written a letter to the U.S. Attorney General to stifle any future federal inquiries concerning climate change, claiming it violates the First Amendment rights of corporations like Exxon, which suppressed its research into the phenomenon for several decades.
Trump is building out his policy proposals as he pivots from campaigning for his party's nomination to the general election, including tapping experts in various fields. Among those he has asked for help is U.S. Republican Representative Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, one of the country's most ardent oil and gas drilling advocates and climate change skeptics.
More power plants are switching over to natural gas, which has seen its prices drop as fracking has taken off around the country. Coal mining output has dropped by 15 percent in the state since 2008 and coal-fired power plants account for just 33 percent of the country's total energy output today, compared with 50 percent half a century ago. Global demand has gone down too. China's sudden economic slowdown created a surplus of raw materials, from iron ore to coal, leading to a collapse in commodities prices.
An Alberta government statement issued on Saturday night said the fire had consumed 500,000 acres — an area the size of Mexico City — and would continue to grow. Fort McMurray is the center of Canada's oil sands region.
Firefighting officials said the inferno, propelled northeast towards neighboring Saskatchewan by high winds and fueled by tinder-dry forests, was set to double in size to 740,000 acres — almost twice the size of Houston — by the end of Saturday. Fort McMurray is the center of Canada's oil sands region.
Throughout his campaign, Trump has made environmental destruction into a necessary act of maintaining American global hegemony, especially when contending with a rising China. The planet's ecological balance is not worth saving if it means America can't be on top, even if climate change is a threat to all the earth.
The disaster has led some to suggest, if carefully, that we might finally be witnessing a catastrophic event in a western country that can be linked directly to climate change. At the very least, events like the Fort McMurray wildfire will happen more regularly in the future, and will be more fierce.
"We tend to think we have a lot of time and this study shows we have maybe 30 years less time," said lead author Chris Langdon, a University of Miami marine biologist. "We need to get serious sooner rather than later."
In the wake of the recent attacks on European capitals by Islamic State, the continued instability of the Middle East that resulted in a refugee crisis that has hit Europe hardest and continued economic insecurity for many, Obama acknowledged a tendency "to withdraw" that was increasingly common on both sides of the Atlantic.
The ceremony comes four months after the deal in Paris and marks the first step towards binding countries to their greenhouse gas emissions promises.
Peabody Energy's Chapter 11 filing will likely yield further proof that Big Coal and climate science deniers are in cahoots.
At this point, Trump's brutality is all theoretical. But Republican cruelty is actual policy, and it has decimated states across the country.
The Los Angeles Department of Public Works actually helped stoke the conspiracy fire in late January.
So it turns out the experts were mistaken. It turns out the impact of climate change on Florida — and much of the coastal United States — is not going to be anywhere near as bad as had been predicted. Apparently, it's going to be much worse.
Trump defended his belief, as stated in television interviews, that followers of Islam "hate us."
One of the evening's most dramatic moments came when a Guatemalan immigrant in the audience at Miami-Dade College asked a question in Spanish of both candidates, noting that her husband had been deported, leaving her and her five children behind.
A vote to block the Obama administration's ambitious climate regulation was one of Antonin Scalia's last acts as a Supreme Court justice.
Courts delivers major blow to President Obama, putting on hold federal regulations to curb carbon dioxide emissions mainly from coal-fired power plants.
The Earth is, in fact, a sphere — no matter what you see as you look out your bedroom window. Similarly, the planet is warming — no matter how cold it is outside your bedroom window.
Not much is expected in the final year of a presidential administration, especially one marked by partisan gridlock.

This invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device involving the step of impurity ion implantation. When a semiconductor device is manufactured, the well-known process is one which involves the step of implanting impurity ions in a substrate to fabricate a layer of a prescribed conductivity type. In the case of, for example, a GaAs integrated circuit, an active layer is produced in a semiconductor substrate by ion implantation to provide source and drain regions of high impurity concentration. Due to the high integration and increased speed of operation of semiconductor devices, greater demand is made for the precise control of ion implantation.
When a layer of a prescribed conductivity type is formed by ion implantation, it sometimes happens that a channeling phenomenon appears, in which an impurity ion is implanted to a greater depth in a particular direction of implantation depending on the structure of a single crystal substrate. With a semiconductor single crystal substrate whose surface parallel to the (100) plane, it is known that when the implantation of an impurity is carried out perpendicularly to the substrate, an axial channeling takes place because crystal lattices are widely separated from each other. The phenomenon of channeling becomes more noticeable as the constituent atoms of the substrate, and ions to be implanted have a larger atomic number, and the acceleration voltage for ion implantation decreases. When, therefore, an activated layer is made thinner for higher integration, the channeling more readily takes place. The conventional practice to avoid such a drawback is to incline the main substrate plane by some degrees to the ion implantation direction in order to avoid axial channeling, and further, to rotate the substrate about the surface normal axis several or scores of degrees, thereby avoiding plane channeling.
The conventional method of manufacturing semiconductor devices mentioned before is also accompanied with the following drawbacks. Since ion beams enter obliquely into the substrate surface, the mask material gives rise to shades, causing the patterns to be asymmetric and resulting in variation in the properties of the element devices thus produced. Moreover, difficulties arise in estimating the area ion implantated from the mask size. The smaller the pattern becomes for high integration, the more the drawbacks increase. Since the respective positions on the substrate have different separations from the ion source, said positions are electrically charged to different degrees by an ion beam-accelerating electric field, thus causing ions to be implanted with different densities. Consequently variations appear in the properties of the element devices formed on the substrate. Moreover, some ion-implanting devices do not allow the substrate rotation angle to be freely defined. When, therefore, such an ion-implanting device is used, it is impossible to produce highly reliable semiconductor devices. Therefore, the rotation angle of the substrate plane has to be determined for each substrate, requiring a great deal of work.
The above-mentioned difficulties particularly arise in a semiconductor device having an extremely fine circuit arrangement, for example, a high speed digital IC or a high frequency analog IC fabricated by forming an MESFET on a GaAs single crystal substrate.
It is accordingly the object of this invention to provide a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device which suppresses the occurrence of channeling when a plurality of regions are simultaneously formed in a monocrystalline, semiconductor substrate; by implantation of an impurity; and which substantially equalizes the impurity concentrations of the respective regions, thus significantly facilitating the mask of ion implantation.
The semiconductor device-manufacturing method embodying this invention is characterized in that when an impurity is implanted in the main phase of the monocrystalline semiconductor substrate, and when the angle of ion implantation direction with respect to the main crystal orientation of said crystal is assumed to be expressed by Euler anglesλ, μ, θ), then the main crystal orientation is so determined as to satisfy the following conditions:
If λ falls outside of the above-mentioned range, plane channeling appears, and if λ exceeds 33°, the subject semiconductor monocrystalline substrate will be undesirably reduced in machinability. If μ is displaced from the above-mentioned range, then axial channelling will appear. Also if μ rises above 24°, the monocrystalline semiconductor substrate will undesirably decrease in machinability.
The present invention offers the advantages that even when an impurity is perpendicularly implanted in a monocrystalline semiconductor substrate, no channeling occurs, dispensing with the troublesome task of defining the rotation angle of the substrate; when an ion implanter lacking a rotation angle-defining mechanism is applied, it is nonetheless possible to carry out ion implantation under a well-controlled condition; when an impurity is implanted perpendicularly to the main substrate plane, the implanted impurity does not present asymmetry and variations in the distribution within said substrate plane; an equal potential is preserved throughout the substrate plane; an impurity can be implanted under a well controlled condition; it is possible to provide a semiconductor device whose excellent elements indicate no variations in the properties on the substrate plane; and consequently a highly integrated semiconductor device can be provided.
FIG. 1 illustrates an ignot by way of indicating the relationship between the crystal orientation in which the substrate used in the embodiment of this invention is cut out and the direction in which an impurity is implanted in the substrate;
FIG. 2 is a chart setting forth the Euler angles;
FIGS. 3A to 3G show the sequential steps of manufacturing GaAs-MESFET embodying this invention; and
FIG. 4 indicates a comparison between the threshold voltage variations observed in a semiconductor device manufactured by the method utilized in this invention and those appearing in a semiconductor device obtained by the conventional manufacturing method.
Description may now be made with reference to the accompanying drawings of the method of manufacturing a semiconductor device GaAs MESFET utilized in this invention.
FIG. 1 sets forth the relationship between the crystal orientation in which a gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrate is cut out in accordance with the method of this invention and the direction in which an impurity is implanted. Referring to FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 shows a GaAs ingot, and reference numeral 12 indicates an orientation flat formed on a (011) face. When an impurity is implanted in a GaAs substrate 13 cut out of said ingot 11 by the conventional method, as previously mentioned, ion implantation direction 14 is inclined to a (100) face at prescribed angle β (≈7°) in order to suppress the occurrence of axial channeling, and further the plane of said GaAs substrate 13 is rotated at angle α (≈20°) in order to avoid plane channeling.
Unlike the above-mentioned conventional method, the embodiment of this invention applies the method of cutting out semiconductor monocrystalline substrate 15 from GaAs ingot 11 in such a manner that the substrate's main plane is inclined to the indicated (100) face at a prescribed angle as later described. Namely, the main plane of said GaAs substrate is so defined as to suppress the occurrence of axial and plane channelings in ion implantation direction 14.
Concrete description may now be made by the Euler angles of the range within which angle inclination to the (100) face of the GaAs substrate is defined by the embodiment of this invention. The Euler angles (λ, μ, θ) are generally indicated as shown in FIG. 2. Namely, angles (0°,0°,0°) represented by the equation λ=μ=θ=0° are plotted on axes X, Y, Z. It was assumed that under the above-mentioned conditions, the ion implantation direction was represented by axis Z, and the angles defined by the ion implantation direction with the main crystal axis were denoted by λ, μ, θ. Further, it was assumed that the size of an atom at a crystal lattice point was represented by 1/10 of the lattice spacing. First, the plane involving said λ, μ and θ is rotated counterclockwise about the Z axis by an angle of λ. At this time, line X is shifted to X1, and line Y is moved to Y1. Thereafter, said plane is rotated counterclockwise about line X1 by an angle of μ. As a result, line Y1 is shifted to Y2, and line Z is moved to Z2. Further, said plane is rotated counterclockwise about line Z2 by an angle of θ. At this time, line X1 is shifted to X3, and line Y2 is moved to Y3. Computation was made as to the pattern which would be presented by a crystal lattice. Measurement was made of the angles which would not cause the lattice points to overlap each other three-dimentionally. As a result, the following conditions were ascertained.
In actuality, a GaAs substrate was prepared whose main plane represented the aforesaid crystal orientation. A silicon (Si+) impurity ion was implanted under the conditions:
Acceleration voltage: 150 keV.
Impurity doping concentration: 3×1012 /cm2.
Thus, numerous diode alleys were formed and determination was made of the manner in which the peak carrier concentration was distributed. As a result, it was found that said concentration fell within the range of 3%. When Euler angle λ ranged between 21° and 26°, and Euler angle μ ranged from 10° to 11°, said peak carrier concentration was less than 1%. Electronic line analysis clarified that the above-mentioned ranges represented the ion implantation direction in which the occurrence of defect of ion implantation was minimized.
When a GaAs substrate whose Euler angles were defined to fall within the aforementioned range was cut out of an ingot, it was found that axial and plane channeling were effectively prevented when an impurity was implanted perpendicularly to the main plane of said GaAs substrate. The present invention offers further advantages that since an impurity can be implanted perpendicularly to the main substrate plane, the impurity implanting process is simplified and can be carried out under tightly controlled conditions; though the cleavage plane constituted by (110) face of the GaAs monocrystalline is susceptible to impacts and fractures readily, yet the main plane of said GaAs crystal is shifted from said (100) face at a prescribed angle in order to suppress the occurrence of channeling, said cleavage plane is not rendered perpendicular to the substrate main plane, thereby improving the impact strength of the subject GaAs-MESFET.
Description may now be made with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3G of the method of manufacturing the GaAs-MESFET utilized in this invention. Throughout the figures, reference numeral 31 represents a monocrystalline semiconductor substrate prepared from gallium arsenide (GaAs). The substrate is cut out of an ingot in such a manner that the main plane of said substrate represents a crystal orientation in which Euler angles λ, μ and θ respectively denote 21°, 11° and 0°, and thereafter said main plane is polished. An ion implantation mask is provided on said main plane of GaAs substrate 31 by means of a first photoresist layer 32a. Next, a silicon (Si+) impurity is implanted perpendicularly into the main plane of the substrate under the conditions:
Acceleration Voltage: 150 keV.
Doping concentration: 3×1012 /cm2.
As a result, an n type conductivity layer 33 is deposited on the main plane of the substrate. Thereafter, the first resist layer 32a is removed from the main plane of the substrate. Heat treatment is continued at 850° C. for 15 minutes to activate said n-type conductivity layer 33. Thereafter tungsten nitride layer 34 is deposited with a thickness of 1000 Å over the phase surface of substrate 31 as indicated in FIG. 3B. A second photoresist layer 32b is formed on said tungsten nitride layer 34. A gate electrode-forming mask is provided by etching said second photoresist layer 32b except for that portion thereof which lies on the central portion of said n-type layer 33. Later as shown in FIG. 3C, gate electrode 34 is mounted on the n-type conductivity layer by reactive ion etching (RIE) by means of the aforementioned mask. Then said second photoresist layer 32b is removed from gate electrode 34. Then third photoresist layer 32c is formed all over the fabricated mass. That portion of said photoresist layer 32c which is mounted on said n-type layer is eliminated to provide a mask open to the MESFET forming region. Thereafter as shown in FIG. 3D, silicon is ion implanted by means of said mask perpendicularly to the main plane of the substrate under the conditions:
Acceleration voltage: 180 keV.
Doping concentration: 2×1013 /cm2.
to provide source and drain regions 35, 36 both of n+ -type. Later said third photoresist layer 32c is eliminated, and silicon oxide (SiO2) layer 37 is deposited with a thickness of about 5000 Å by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) all over the fabricated mass (FIG. 3E). The whole mass is heat treated at 800° C. for 15 minutes to activate the silicon constituting the source and drain regions. Later SiO2 layer 37 is removed from the substrate. A fourth resist layer 32d is formed on that part of the substrate which is now rendered vacant by the removed of said SiO2 layer 37. Those portions of said fourth resist layer 32d which were deposited on said source and drain regions are eliminated to form a mask open to the region for drawing out the source and drain electrodes. Later, as shown in FIG. 3F, a gold germanium alloy (AuGe) layer of 1500 Å thick is formed, and then gold (Au) is thermally deposited on said AuGe layer. Thus an AuGe/Au layer is formed all over the fabricated layer. Later, fourth photoresist layer 32d, together with that portion of said AuGe/Au layer which is deposited thereon, is removed (lift off step). Last, heat treatment is applied at 400° C. for 2 minutes to provide source and drain ohmic electrodes, thereby finishing the GaAs-MESFET method used in this invention.
The foregoing description was made of the process seemingly for manufacturing a single FET unit. In fact, however, a large number of FETs are formed on the substrate at the same time, as can be easily inferred.
Measurement was made of threshold voltages Vth of the numerous GaAs-MESFETs of this invention simultaneously fabricated on the same substrate, the results being set forth in the coordinate system of FIG. 4. The ordinate represents the threshold voltages Vth and the abscissa denotes the diameter of the wafer. The circular plotted points () show the measured threshold voltages of the MESFET representing the invention, and the cross-shaped plotted points (×) represent the threshould voltages of an FET unit fabricated by including the wafer by 7 degrees in the ion implantation direction and further rotating the wafer lane by 210 degrees (corresponding to the conventional process). The pattern of the coordinate system of FIG. 4 clearly indicates that the threshould voltage of all the MESFETs manufactured by the method of this invention substantially stands at -4.0 volts, whereas noticeable variations appear in the threshold voltage of the MESFETs provided by the conventional process. The above-mentioned noticeable merit of the present invention arises from the fact that the source and drain regions of the elements fabricated by the method of this invention have a substantially uniform impurity concentration, no matter where said regions are formed in the substrate wafer.
In the foregoing embodiment, the MESFET was prepared from a monocrystalline GaAs substrate having the structure of sphalerite. However, the present invention is not limited to this instance. Namely, the same effect can be ensured by fabricating any monocrystalline substrate having a diamond structure such as that prepared from Si, Ge or InP. Further, not only silicon, but also any other impurities known to this particular field, for example, S, Se, Mg, are adapted for ion implantation.

3 years ago we stayed here and felt like we had found a gem hidden in Yoho National Park. When we returned this summer, we found it to be just average.

Sort that out can we?
Chris: (reading a palm) This line here Polly, this means you're going to live until you're at least 80 and this line here, that means you should be very careful around electricty pylons and crocodiles.
Mark: What's the next class?
Sid: Drama.
Mark: Right. Drama. Home. Coursework. Fucking perfection. Or else.

Recent Uptown-Carrollton reviews
"Myself and 7 friends stayed at this beautiful home on Napoleon Avenue for three nights. We were all able to sleep comfortably. There was a coffee pot and great fridge storage. There is walking distance to a grocery store and a few restaurants. Also walking distance to the trolley that we were able to take downtown. The owners Liz and MJ were easy to get ahold of and the instructions were great and on time!! I would definitely recommend this house."Guest: ELANA L. Date of Stay: March 2016 Review Submitted: March 21, 2016View listing
"What a find! This beautifully appointed and historic home was all that we imagined and more. The house exudes charm and is gorgeous and spacious. It is decorated handsomely with antiques and art work yet imperfect enough, with an abundance of silk flowers, to feel warm and inviting. The owner generously and unexpectedly stocked the kitchen with snacks, beverages, pastries, and more making a trip to the grocery store unnecessary. Now that is what I call a vacation! I discovered upon returning home that I wistfully yearn for the charming covered front porch where I could curl up with a good book, even on a usually discouraging rainy day, and pass hours with the sounds of the fountain and nearby streetcar in the background. Blissful! The garden and pool area were truly an oasis with palm trees gracefully draping the edges of the pool providing a tranquil retreat from the energy of the surrounding city. A gorgeous French fountain cascading alongside the pool as well as a variety of antique garden accessories offers some local flavour to further enhance the ambiance. And, as luck would have it, there is plenty of outdoor seating as well as string lighting and lanterns to provide the perfect setting for a group dinner or celebration. Laissez les bond temps rouler! The home's location could not be more ideal. It is set away from the hustle and bustle of the quarter while only a stone's throw to the St. Charles streetcar line, making it easily accessible to all of NOLA's highlights. In addition, it is an easy walk to Tulane, Audubon Park and Zoo, Magazine Street, and more. The property is adjoining the vibrant River Bend area with its abundance of fantastic dining choices such as Vincent's, Camellia Grill, La Madelleine, Cooter Brown's, etc...all just a block or two away. The area conveniently offers a Walgreens and some retail options as well. I cannot say enough good things about the lovely and enchanting Oulala house. Come enjoy all the fabulousness that NOLA has to offer and stay here. I expect that you will not be disappointed."Guest: Lisa V. Date of Stay: March 2016 Review Submitted: April 4, 2016View listing
"This was a great property with close access to all of the major attractions New Orleans has to offer. We utilized Uber and could get to Bourbon Street and the French Quarter within 10 minutes. Being able to get away from Bourbon Street at times was a nice luxury to have and this house gave us that option. The check in and check out processes were seamless and the house was very spacious and in a nice neighborhood. I would highly recommend this property to any future visitors of New Orleans."Guest: Kyle S. Date of Stay: May 2016 Review Submitted: June 10, 2016View listing
"My family and my in laws came to New Orleans on vacation and we didn't want to be split up by hotel rooms so we looked into renting a house. I was very skeptical at first being the part of this trip with a teenager I knew we needed enough space to relax. This house was perfect everyone got their own room own space but there was also a great area to get together and all hangout. We couldn't have asked for more and I would definitely come back."Guest: Gretchen J. Date of Stay: June 2016 Review Submitted: June 22, 2016View listing

Mike Karpow was once a university football player when he was labeled jokingly a mercenary for his chippy playing fashion. After he called it a day on the professional sports scene, the hulking 6-foot-4 player worked in the trucking industry and in some way went from that crude and tumble world to become a dedicated daddy of 3 girls. He now works as a wedding planner.
He has now got a new nickname Mr. Hollywood, showcasing the name of the company he established with his wife of twenty-one years, Lori Karpow. The couple introduced their company Hollywood Weddings & Megastar Events Inc. in 1997 as a part-time business. However, it soon became a top-notch player in the business. It was Lori's creativity as well as Mike's organizational and sales skills that led to the company being had in the US publication, World Class Weddings.

Ana de Sousa is a Portuguese photographer who has been contributing to Shutterstock since 2005 and has almost 1,700 images in the collection. Her most downloaded images include textures, business concepts, scenes from nature (like the flower you see above) and images related to eyes and vision. (Always popular with optometrists!)
When De Sousa started contributing to Shutterstock, she knew creating stock images would be a stimulating challenge. "I remember walking on the streets, looking at walls and things and thinking, 'OMG that wall could give me a great stock photo.' And I even thought about keywords too!"
Today she works on more advanced concepts and tries to shoot images Shutterstock customers will need. "I try to understand the imagery trends, anticipating as much as possible. I also try to think as a buyer."
One source of inspiration is her husband, who sometimes appears as a model in her photos. One time on vacation they went exploring using an old map, and decided later to use the map as a prop in a photo shoot. The photo (seen below) became one of her personal favorites and a best-selling image.
Another time they were flying together and De Sousa spotted one of her images in a catalog in the back of the seat pocket—it was a shot of her husband holding up a computer. "I just had to wake him up asking what he was doing there! Lots of laughter as you can imagine!" (You can see the image at the end of this post.)
De Sousa shoots with a Canon 5D, and also uses a flatbed scanner to produce some textures and patterns. See more of de Sousa's work in her Shutterstock portfolio.

Lorenzo de Luca and Elky van het Indihof Race to Victory in $34,000 Spy Coast Farm 1.45m
RELEASE: March 14, 2014
AUTHOR/ADMINISTRATOR: Lauren Fisher for Jennifer Wood Media, Inc.
Lorenzo de Luca and Elky van het Indihof (Sportfot)
Wellington, Fla.
- Italy's Lorenzo de Luca and Elky van het Indihof sped their way to an exciting win in Friday's $34,000 Spy Coast Farm 1.45m on a beautiful afternoon at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center (PBIEC) in Wellington, FL. De Luca and Elky van het Indihof have had several top finishes at the FTI Consulting Winter Equestrian Festival (FTI WEF) recently and finally got their victory with a fantastic round to beat out USA's Caitlin Ziegler and Christine.
FTI WEF week 10, sponsored by Horseware Ireland, continues through March 16, 2014. The week will feature the $125,000 Horseware Ireland Grand Prix CSI 3* on Saturday and the $34,000 Suncast® 1.50m Championship Jumper Classic on Sunday. The FTI WEF features 12 weeks of world-class competition through March 30, awarding $8 million in prize money.
Showing in the International Arena at PBIEC on Friday, the $34,000 Spy Coast Farm 1.45m saw 41 entries in total with 15 clear rounds. The second entry to show over Richard Jeffery's (GBR) speed track, Caitlin Ziegler set a very fast pace in 67.10 seconds with Artisan Farms LLC'c Christine that would hold the lead through most of the class. Not until Lorenzo de Luca entered the ring, third to last in the order with T & L NV's Elky van het Indihof, did the lead change hands. The pair blazed through the course in 65.98 seconds for the win.
Abigail McArdle (USA) and David McArdle's Cosma 20 finished in 67.57 seconds to place third. Ben Maher (GBR) and Kavanagh IV, owned by Maher and John Renick, finished fourth in 67.71 seconds.
De Luca (26) first got Elky van het Indihof in July of 2013 and has had great results with the ten-year-old Belgian Warmblood mare (Toulon x Thunder van de Zuuthoeve), including wins and top finishes throughout Europe. This was Elky's first time traveling to Florida for the winter, and she has made consistent improvement with each week of competition.
The mare started out with sixth and seventh place finishes during week five in the $34,000 G&C Farm 1.45m and $84,000 Suncast 1.50m Championship Jumper Classic respectively. In week six, she moved up to place fourth in the $34,000 G&C Farm 1.45m and fifth in the $34,000 Spy Coast Farm 1.45m. During week eight's CSIO competition, she stepped up her game once more to finish second in the $34,000 G&C Farm 1.45m. Now in week ten, the speedy horse kicked things off by placing third in Wednesday's $34,000 G&C Farm 1.45m and then finally got her win in the $34,000 Spy Coast Farm 1.45m speed class.
De Luca was thrilled with the win and praised his horse on an excellent round. "It is nice to finally win a class with her here," he smiled. "She is fantastic. She is a super fast horse, and she wins a lot. She is so competitive, and she loves the speed classes. Sometimes I try to jump some grand prix classes with her, but she is very competitive in the speed ones."
"We made 65 seconds," de Luca said of his time. "That was actually my plan to do 65, because I saw Caitlin go and her horse has a really big stride, but I think my horse is faster on the turns. She is very quick. It was quite a tricky, delicate course, but it was really nice."
This was Elky van het Indihof's last day showing this week. She will go to the Equine Conditioning Center for some pampering and then head home to rest up for the last two weeks of FTI WEF competition. De Luca will show his top horse, Zoe II, in Saturday night's $125,000 Horseware Ireland Grand Prix 3*. Zoe is also already qualified for week twelve's $500,000 FTI Consulting Finale Grand Prix CSI 5*.
De Luca came to the FTI WEF for the first time last year and explained that this is the first year that he has had some really good horses here. He is from Italy, but has spent the last three years living in Belgium, riding for Neil Jones Equestrian. This year they brought seven horses, some for sale, some for the small classes, and four for the bigger classes. They are stabled with sponsor, Tim Collins.
"Mr. Collins has a stable here, so we started the partnership with him last year, and now we are going to keep coming in the winter. It is beautiful to come here," de Luca noted. "It is a perfect show to go to in the winter. In Europe it is really cold, and we don't like showing indoors that much actually. This is the best show to make the horses ready for the season."
"It was quite a shock," de Luca said of his first trip to Wellington last year. "The level of competition is unbelievable. That is the top level in the world I think. They are the best riders with the best horses, and you just learn a lot staying here. Last year I didn't have too many horses to compete, but it was a great experience just being here because you meet some people who have always been your idols for a long time. McLain Ward is I think one of the best, Nick Skelton, Laura Kraut, they are all here. Ben Maher, Ben is unbelievable. Scott Brash, I mean, the best are here. It is a perfect way to compete with them and get stronger and learn a lot."
"You just learn from watching the classes, and the jump-offs are amazing," de Luca added. "I think last year, when I came back to Europe, I was way better after the three months here because you get better so quickly. Three months here is like one year in Europe to show in the big level."
After competing in Wellington in 2013, de Luca moved up to jump at the five-star level for the first time and felt confident because of the experience that he had gained.
"When we went back to Europe we got two very good horses," he explained. "We started to do the 5* Nations Cup with my good mare, and we also got a horse to show at the World Cup in Verona. It was actually very good because then you go there and you are already competitive. If you go there and maybe you have not come here to compete, you try just to get around, but this show makes you so much stronger."
Earlier in the day, a $6,000 Spy Coast Farm 1.40m Speed Challenge was held in the International Arena with the second win of the week for Hannah Selleck (USA) and Descanso Farm's Bauer. Ireland's Paul O'Shea guided Skara Glen's Sienna to victory later in the afternoon in the $6,000 Spy Coast Farm 1.40m jump-off class.

I'm using WP 2.2 and 'Flickr Photo Album' .92
It's a terrific plugin and just what I was after - but I can' seem to make it work properly.
My albums page works great, but I cannot select any of the actual photos or individual albums - the link points to a 404 not found page.
My albums page is:
I've installed the plugin, set all the permmissions and permalink parameters, reinstalled over and over again.
Another user has pointed out to me that if you add "?page_id=134" into the url the link works fine - see below...
It seems that however the plugin/php coding works, (like magic to a non programmer like me), it doesn't put the "?page_id=134" into the links from the primary Album page. I can't work out what I have missed out on. Can I change one of the php files?
I thought that maybe the "path" needed to be "achives/134" but that didn't work. All of the photo links work if I add the "?page_id=134" as you did. Other than that I've tried my settings in all different ways.
I think I understand that I have to create a page named "album" in WP.
I've changed the Permalink structure to numeric.
I don't understand how to create a page for 'Photo Album' that WP will publish with the url 'album'. I can only publish pages with the three number page id - i.e. "?page_id=135" - and therefore I don't think the flickr datbase has a url that will link to my album.....
Any help appreciated! Sorry for such a long post!

No one can explain why thats acceptable.. im a faithful long, but that's a huge red flag for m.e Increasd MI in the higher dose group..
Sentiment: Hold
In a small study you know it's meaningless. Why do you even mention it?
Well, it's not acceptable, presuming you are speaking of the incidence of MI on the high dose vs controls. Even though its a small number of MI's in a cohort of very sick patients, this will have to be addressed. Troponin levels, dose vs. control, did not suggest a dose dependent effect of the agent on heart failure, which is interesting, if not encouraging, supporting the thesis of the novel mechanism of OM's effects without increasing cardiac metabolism beyond the capability of these failing hearts.
I posted a few days ago that in an acute situation, if this effect WERE real, that is, increased MIs, it would not be the end... It would be a rough hurdle for CYTK and Amgen to leap, but it wouldnt be the end. Amiodarone, developed in the 60's and 70's was not FDA approved until the mid-80s. It's an anti-arrhythmic that decreases vfib, afib, and vtach, but its got a horrible side-effect profile, including MI, pulmonary toxicity, thyroid problems, and even cancer. But sometimes this is the best and only thing in dthese kinds of ifficult clinical cases. OM appears to be NOWHERE as dangerous as a novel and apparently effective solution to its indicated uses. That's not to say that a stronger understanding and profile of side effects is unimportant, or should be ignored by investors, but it does point a focus of the studies for the next few months/years. I believe it hopeful and, along with Tirasimtiv, a reason to follow and trade on the ups and down of this stock (and using profits to play with the "house's money") in anticipation of successfully commercializing OM.
Sentiment: Buy
Not significant. Not dose related. Quote from PR;
"Rates of adverse events (AEs), serious AEs, adjudicated deaths and hospitalizations were similar between omecamtiv mecarbil and placebo groups. There were seven post-randomization myocardial infarctions in the omecamtiv mecarbil treated groups compared with three in the placebo groups (2.3 percent vs. 1.0 percent, respectively). However, there was no relationship between the maximum increase from the baseline troponin (a biomarker specific for cardiac muscle damage) and increasing plasma concentrations of omecamtiv "
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Also even though these patients only were treated for 48 hours they were followed much longer, 30 days I believe. Several of these MI's occurred long after treatment, where they would be no drug left in the system.

So I'm sitting here typing away on the laptop as the electrician replaces my electrical breaker panel. Batteries and 3G networks mean that I'm not really cut-off from modern technology, I just have to adapt a bit. I thought this would be a great opportunity to just sit down and write something, given the hour […]

The single oddest response I ever received after a sermon (true story) came from a man I had never met.
"Excuse me," he said, "Do you mind if I disturb you for a moment?"
"No," I said.
He put his thumbs in his ears, wiggled his fingers wildly, and made a noise that sounded like Ruga Ruga Ruga. Then he walked away. I haven't seen him since.
It was the oddest response I have received, but not the worst. The moments after preaching are an unusually vulnerable time. All preachers want their sermons to be about something more important than their own performance. And yet the messenger is enmeshed with the message; it takes a little time for the sermon to go off and sink or swim on its own and leave the preacher alone.
Everyone who preaches must come to grips with post-sermon comments. So without further ado, I present to you my top five most hated comments to receive after a sermon.
1. "Your preaching has improved." Sometimes when I hear this one it is strengthened by enthusiasm; your preaching has really improved. I think this comment is generally intended as a compliment, but it's hard to say. Certainly it carries the message that your previous sermons left plenty of room for improvement. Lots of horrible things may be improving—Charles Barkley's golf swing, movies in the Twilight series—but I still don't want to watch them. On the other hand, it's better than hearing, "Your preaching has really gone downhill."
2. "I'm so glad you said 'X'." But in fact you didn't say "X"; you were trying to say the opposite of "X." It makes you wonder what sermon they were listening to. I once spoke about the dangers of legalism: there are churches where a pastor could be filled with pride and lovelessness for years, but if he ever smoked a cigar he would be fired. Afterward one of the listeners said to me, "I'm so glad you spoke out against smoking. I've been waiting to hear that a long time." It made me want to improve my preaching.
3. "I heard Andy Stanley/Tim Keller/Jon Piper/Rob Bell give a similar talk one time." Only it turns out that their talk was actually much better than the one you gave, and the enthusiastic listener wants to give you a play-by-play account with commentary on why it was better. Sometimes the person will helpfully give you the list of podcasts to which he listens regularly. People rarely tell you about a talk they heard that was worse than the one you gave. Similarly, when a woman gets pregnant, no one tells her stories about happy pregnancies. Pregnant preachers must develop very strong nerves.
4. "I'm just not being fed." This is an all-purpose comment, offered more generally than in response to one particular message. But it does make me wonder, if preaching is a form of feeding, why is there no tipping afterwards? Perhaps preaching would improve if churches kept a large brandy snifter next to the pulpit so folks could drop in a little something to say, "Thank you for the effort."
5. "The Lord told me to tell you …" "… that you look tired," "… that you hurt my feelings," "… that this church needs more messages about stewardship/missions/culture wars/the Colbert Report," "… that you chose the wrong clothes." This sentence can end in a hundred ways, none of them happy.
