This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Ser. No. 10/150,707 filed May 17, 2002.
The present invention relates in general to sensor assemblies and in particular to a sensor assembly including a piezoresistive membrane for detecting he tilt and vibration of a body and for generating output signals indicative of the tilt and vibration detection.
Today's automobiles and similar vehicles typically include highly sophisticated and complex systems and rely on control systems that receive input signals from a variety of sensing devices. Automobiles and similar vehicles powered by internal combustion engines depend on lubricating fluids such as oil for lubricating moving components of the engine and to help maintain the engine at a proper operating temperature. Oil refining and formulation itself has become a complex process to ensure that internal combustion engines are properly lubricated and cooled during operation while taking into account environmental conditions. It is well known that oil quality varies and that over time the level of oil within an engine may be reduced due to leaks and/or oil combustion and the condition of oil deteriorates. Consequently, numerous types of electronic sensors and sensor assemblies have been developed to monitor and/or detect oil level, oil temperature, and oil condition, for example. These sensors and assemblies may include algorithms that depend on determining whether a vehicle is parked on an incline and/or whether a vehicle's engine is running or shutdown. Oil level measuring algorithms are known in the art. Some are known to use averaging techniques to dampen the affect of an automobile being parked on an incline when the oil level measurement is taken. Other algorithms or methods may only take an oil level measurement when it is known that a vehicle is parked on a level surface.
Many tilt sensors are of the electrolytic type. A typical electrolytic sensor includes a glass or ceramic envelope that is partially filled with a conductive fluid. The fluid moves in response to tilting of the sensor where the fluid is under the influence of gravity, such as with a carpenter's spirit level. In other embodiments the fluid may be under the influence of the acceleration of a body. Platinum contacts may be sealed flush with the inside walls of the envelope. When such a sensor is at its zero position the electrical impedance of the fluid from the center electrode to each of the left and right electrodes is equal. Tilting the sensor disturbs this balanced condition and the impedance changes in proportion to the tilt angle. Cost and size of a typical electrolytic sensor limit their use in certain environments. Many electrolytic sensors are sensitive to temperature change and temperature compensation needs to be provided in most of the signal conditioning electronic units. Also, with respect to glass electrolytic sensors, great care must be afforded to the thermal and mechanical stress related characteristics of glass during installation and alignment. This may limit the range of applications of such sensors.
Another known category of tilt sensor types is switch sensors, which may be a variation of an electrolytic sensor. A switch type tilt sensor doesn't use a linear output with respect to inclination angle. Instead, a signal is generated once the inclination reaches a predetermined threshold.
While not used specifically for detecting the tilt of a body, a common structure for measuring pressure are pressure transducers. Pressure transducers may be diaphragm-based transducers that convert an applied pressure into stresses in the plane of the diaphragm. The stresses may be measured and converted into electrical signals by use of piezoresistive sensors that are an integral part of the diaphragm. Depending on the application, the diaphragm may be fabricated of metal or a semiconductor material such as silicon. Such configurations are known to be used in microphones, the automotive industry such as for checking tire, gas and air pressure, the biomedical industry such as for determining blood and fluid pressure, various instrumentation and vacuum sensing.
A known configuration for such an arrangement may be semiconductor devices with the resistive bridge legs formed such as by appropriate doping of selected portions of material in the semiconductor material. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,614,678 discloses a device using semiconductor material that is lightly doped N- or P-type silicon in a portion of the crystallographic plane. The piezoresistive elements of that device may be fabricated from P+ or P++ silicon in the crystallographic plane using known techniques. The piezoresistive sensing elements may be arranged in a Wheatstone bridge circuit so that two piezoresistors are positive changing and the other two are negative changing. The disclosed arrangement allows for an output voltage to be generated, which is indicative of an applied pressure on the device.
The condition of the lubricant such as the oil of an internal combustion engine is an important factor in determining whether fresh lubricant needs to be added to a system or whether the lubricant needs to be changed. Some such algorithms or methods may depend on an ignition signal to determine whether the engine is running or shutdown. Ignition signals are not always indicative of whether the engine is actually running or shutdown and may thereby adversely affect the oil condition algorithm or method.
Considering the cost and size advantages of using a semiconductor sensor relative to known tilt sensor types such as an electrolytic sensor, for example, it would be advantageous to provide a low cost semiconductor sensor for detecting tilt that could be adapted for a range of environments such as those requiring small scales in size. It would also be advantageous to provide a senor for accurately determining whether an automobile's engine was running or shutdown.
An exemplary embodiment of an apparatus in accordance with one aspect of the present invention allows for the detection of certain operational parameters associated with a structure or a vehicle such as an automobile. For example, one exemplary embodiment may include an apparatus for detecting the tilt of the automobile relative to a reference position such as horizontal and vibration of the automobile. Vibration of the automobile may be used to determine whether the automobile's engine is running, e.g., the automobile has been started and the engine is idling or generating higher revolutions per minute ("RPM") than that of idling.
One exemplary embodiment of the present invention allows for electronic data indicative of engine running and vehicle tilt to be output from the apparatus and transmitted to a microcontroller or processor of the automobile for data analysis. The microcontroller or processor may send electronic signals indicative of output from the analyzed data to a display device such as a driver information center of an automobile, for example.
One exemplary embodiment for detecting tilt and vibration of a body in accordance with one aspect of the present invention takes advantage of the crystallographic structure and piezoresistive effect in semiconductor materials. The body may be a commercial or private vehicle, for example, or it could be any other physical structure where detecting tilt and/or vibration is desired. Such an apparatus may include a membrane where a plurality of piezoresistors may be diffused onto the membrane. A weight may be integral to the membrane and placed near the membrane's center. In one exemplary embodiment four piezoresistors are diffused onto or formed integral with the membrane to form a conventional Wheatstone bridge circuit. A constant voltage input may be applied to the membrane. A change in resistance of one or more of the piezoresistors may be used to create a first voltage output signal and a second voltage output signal by means of the Wheatstone bridge. The first voltage output signal may be responsive to the angular displacement or tilt of the membrane from a reference position such as horizontal. For example, the membrane may be formed within a substrate that is affixed to a body such as an automobile. When the automobile is tilted relative to horizontal the apparatus will generate an output signal indicative of the tilt. The second voltage output signal may be responsive to vibration of a body such as the vibration of an automobile caused by the automobile's engine running. The voltage outputs at any point in time from the Wheatstone bridge may be indicative of the stresses incurred by the membrane due to the membrane's tilting or sensation of vibration. This may allow for a qualitative or quantitative measurement of the membrane's angular displacement or tilt.
In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention two piezoresistors may be placed within the membrane perpendicularly or transverse to an applied stress and the other two may be placed parallel or longitudinally to the applied stress. The piezoresistors may be placed in locations that allow for maximum sensitivity of the sensors. This may be at or near the edges of the membrane where maximum stress occurs under an applied pressure. Sensor sensitivity may be defined as the ratio of change of voltage output to applied pressure. With no stress applied to the membrane in this configuration the voltage output is zero. As the applied pressure or stress is increased the voltage output will increase allowing for a determination of the membrane's angular displacement or tilt. One advantage of this configuration is that resistance changes resulting from temperature variations tend to cancel each other. In this respect, the sensor is at least partially immune to the effects of temperature.
The membrane according to one aspect of the present invention may be selected to have an appropriate thickness so that at least a portion of it will deflect in response to an applied pressure caused by a weight proximate the center of the membrane when the membrane is tilted. The deflection may stress the piezoresistors thereby changing their respective resistance value. A Wheatstone bridge circuit may be used to transform the changes in resistance value into the first voltage output, which may be indicative of the amount the membrane has tilted, and the second voltage output, which may be indicative of vibration of the automobile caused by its engine running. The composition of at least a portion of the membrane may be substantially of silicon or a silicon-based alloy provided that electrical isolation is achieved among the piezoresistors. The weight may be composed of a variety of suitable materials such as copper or nickel, for example, and be affixed or secured to the membrane by known techniques such as bonding or electrodeposition, for example.
One advantage of the apparatus or sensor in accordance with the present invention is that exemplary embodiments may be fabricated in varying sizes. Empirical simulation using commercially available finite element analysis software such as software from Ansys, Inc. demonstrates that the dimensions of the membrane and weight vary in proportion to one another and may consequently be adapted for a wide range of applications requiring specific size sensors.
Extending the life cycle of a vehicle's lubricant, such as motor oil, is important to today's commercial and private motorists. Monitoring lubricant level in an oil pan, for example, is an important indicator of whether new lubricant needs to be added or the existing lubricant needs to be changed. Taking single lubricant level readings may be misleading due to the angular displacement or tilt of the vehicle, the time after engine shutdown at which the reading is taken, lubricant temperature, sloshing of lubricant within the vehicle and a capillary effect that may delay lubricant return to an engine oil pan. Also, accurate level readings may be difficult if engine shutdown is determined by a microcontroller when the ignition signal feed to the level sensor switches from "1" to "0", for example. A problem with this approach is that the ignition signal used may remain in the "1" state even after the engine is shutdown in order to allow certain systems of an automobile to continue working after the ignition key is turned to the "off" position. Similarly, the ignition signal may be "on" when the key is in the accessory position. These situations could lead to a reduced number of level readings. One advantage of the present invention is that an accurate measurement of a vehicle's tilt can be made during and after engine shutdown and an oil level-measuring algorithm if desired may use this information.
Using ignition signal feeds to the sensor assembly may also adversely impact an oil condition trending algorithm, for example, in two ways. First, the number of real oil condition trend ("OCT") points may be reduced because the data for generating the OCT points is collected at predetermined intervals after engine shutdown. If the sensor assembly collecting the data for the OCT points determines shutdown by the ignition signal feed there will be an inherent delay in when the sensor will begin collecting data. The second adverse impact is that the fail-safe approach for odd conductivity behavior of lubricant could be thwarted. This fail-safe approach may assume that hours of ignition "on" are equivalent to hours of engine running, which would not be the case with the key in the accessory position. If the OCT points establish a trend that deviates from accepted performance specifications then a vehicle's main computer program may generate a change-oil-soon or a change-oil-now command. If one of these commands is triggered too soon then the oil of the vehicle may be prematurely changed.
An oil condition trending algorithm and/or an oil level-measuring algorithm, such as ones developed by the assignee of the present invention, stored within a processor of the automobile, may use the information generated by an exemplary embodiment of the present invention to overcome the difficulties noted above.

FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of a membrane 10 of the present invention. Membrane 10 may be fabricated from a silicon wafer such as a polysilicon, amorphous silicon or single crystal silicon, for example, using known techniques such as photolithography and/or etching processes. Membrane 10 may have pairs of piezoresistive elements, or piezoresistors, 12 and 14, fabricated therein using conventional techniques. At least a portion of membrane 10 may be fabricated to deflect in response to the application of a uniform pressure applied to the membrane 10. This deflection may cause stress on the piezoresistors 12 and 14, which changes their resistance values. The piezoresistive effect varies as a function of the structure of the silicon's crystal lattice. Resistance in particular is dependent on changes in length and resistivity of the piezoresistor 12 and 14 caused by stress. The following equation applies:
The relationship between stress and resistance change for silicon may be expressed by:
Equation (1) includes two piezoresistive coefficients •L and •T. These two piezoresistive coefficients are longitudinal and transverse as indicated by their respective subscripts. The longitudinal piezoresistive coefficient relates the relative resistance change due to an applied stress in a piezoresistive element 12 and 14 when the stress is in the same direction as the current flow through the element. The transverse piezoresistive coefficient relates the relative resistance change due to an applied stress in a piezoresistive element 12 and 14 when the stress is at right angles to the current flow through the elements. It should be noted that the transverse piezoresistive coefficient could be defined for a stress in the plane of the sensor as well as for a stress normal to that plane.
The change in resistance of the piezoresistive elements 12 and 14, or piezoresistors, can be used to create a voltage output by means of a conventional Wheatstone bridge circuit shown in FIG. 3. In this respect, the resistance in the bridge legs changes in response to pressure applied to at least a portion of the membrane 10 that may act as a diaphragm and deflect in response to the pressure.
The membrane 10 may be fabricated to have a thickness in the range of about 10 to 50 μm for a 1000 μm square membrane 10. One aspect of the present invention allows for the thickness to vary as a function of the membrane's 10 dimensions. In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention membrane 10 has a thickness of approximately 20 μm. The thickness of membrane 10 may be selected as a function of a pressure range to be exerted on the membrane 10 during use. For example, empirical simulation conducted by the assignee of the present invention demonstrates by plotting pressure vs. deflection curves proximate the center of the membrane 10 that membrane 10, assuming a maximum deflection of 0.5 times the thickness of membrane 10, having a thickness of 20 μm establishes a practical pressure range for use of approximately 0 KPa to 961 KPa. Similarly, empirical simulation demonstrates that a membrane 10 having a thickness of 30 μm establishes a practical pressure range for use of approximately 0 KPa to 3200 KPa. These pressure ranges are well below the yield strength of silicon, for example, which is approximately 7000 MPa and defines the burst pressure of membrane 10 if fabricated of silicon. Consequently, one aspect of a method of the present invention allows for selecting a thickness for membrane 10 depending on the pressure range desired for a specific application of the tilt sensor.
The pairs of piezoresistors 12 and 14 may be fabricated within membrane 10 using known techniques such as photolithography and/or etching processes. Piezoresistors 12 and 14 may be placed within the 10 membrane 10 at locations where the maximum stress occurs in membrane 10 when subjected to a uniform pressure such as a uniform pressure applied normal to the upper surface 18. The piezoresistors 12 and 14 may be arranged to form a Wheatstone bridge circuit illustrated in FIG. 3. The change in resistance of the piezoresistors 12 and 14 caused by stress in membrane 10 may be used to create at least a first output voltage and a second output voltage. The transfer function for the circuit of FIG. 3 is defined by:
Where Ra, Rb, Rc and Rd represent the resistors shown in FIG. 3. Vin represents a voltage input, which may be constant, and Vout represents a voltage output from the Wheatstone bridge circuit. A power source may be provided to supply the voltage input and may be a D.C. voltage of 2, 5 or 10 volts, for example. In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention the first pair of piezoresistors 12 are formed within membrane 10 perpendicular or transverse to the stress caused by a uniform pressure and the second pair of piezoresistors 14 are formed within membrane 10 to be parallel or longitudinal with the stress. This arrangement allows for the first pair of piezoresistors 12 to decrease in value and the second pair 14 to increase in value when the membrane 10 is under an applied uniform pressure. This relationship allows for the membrane 10 to be substantially immune from the affects of temperature. Any resistance change due to temperature should be cancelled because of the transfer function equation.
In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, using Miller Indices notation, the piezoresistors 12 and 14 are aligned along the <110> direction and the silicon wafer surface (100), which forms a part of the upper surface 18 of membrane 10. Each of the first pair of piezoresistors 12, which are placed transverse to the stress, may have a width that allows for each one to be very close to an edge 20 of the membrane 10. The thickness of each pair 12 and 14 may be selected in order to have most of each piezoresistor as close to the upper surface 18 as possible and as far away from the midpoint of the membrane 10 thickness so that all piezoresistors are subjected only to tensile stress. The piezoresistor pairs 12 and 14 may also be subject to a compression stress. The length of each of the first pair 12 and second pair 14 may be selected so that the resulting resistor value is approximately 4000� to ensure that the current is not too large and so that the piezoresistors are not subject to too much heat. Alternate embodiments may use piezoresistors with other resulting resistor values depending on the specific application. Each of the second pair of piezoresistors 14, which are placed longitudinal to the stress, may be formed of two piezoresistors in series to minimize the distance from an edge 22 of the membrane 10, which maximizes the sensitivity per unit volume of the silicon membrane 10. This sensitivity may be defined as a change in voltage output in response to an input pressure. The length and width of each pair 14 may be selected to make the absolute resistance value equal to the value for the pair of transverse piezoresistors 12. Setting these resistance values equal allows for the output voltage to be zero when there is zero stress applied to the piezoresistors 12 or 14. The body of each pair of piezoresistors 14 may be kept close to an edge 22 where membrane 10 experiences maximum stress.
For example, in one exemplary embodiment of the present invention membrane 10 may be 1000 μm�1000 μm�20 μm with each of the transverse pair of piezoresistors 12 being approximately 100 μm�25 μm�2 μm and each of the longitudinal pairs being approximately 50 μm�25 μm�2 μm. In another embodiment the dimensions are the same except the membrane 10 is 30 82 m thick. The weight 16 may have a range of masses for these dimensions depending on the specific application.
The membrane 10 may be fabricated from the silicon wafer to form an upper layer 13 of a die or substrate, which is generally referred to as 15 as best shown in FIG. 2. The membrane 10 may be formed having a range of dimensions and shapes as will be recognized by those skilled in the art. A plurality of dies 15 may be fabricated from one silicon wafer using known techniques. A singulation step may be performed to separate the plurality of dies 15 as part of the fabrication process to form individual sensors. The die 15 may be fabricated with N-type dopant as is known in the art to provide electrical isolation among the piezoresistors 12 and 14, which may be fabricate with P-type dopant. In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention the piezoresistors 12 and 14 may be doped with boron at a doping concentration of approximately 1�1017 atoms/cm3. With this doping concentration of boron the transverse and longitudinal piezoresistive coefficients are almost the same with opposite signs. For example, the longitudinal piezoresistive coefficient may be about 71.8�10−11/ Pa and the transverse coefficient may be about −66.3�10−11/ Pa in the case of a silicon membrane 10. Also, with this doping concentration of boron the piezoresistive factor is equal to one so the piezoresistive coefficients given can be used without any correction. A doping concentration of boron atoms on at least a portion of a lower surface of the membrane 10 may be approximately 7�1019/ cm3 to provide for an effective back etch stop. The silicon density of the die 15 and the membrane 10 may be about 2.27�103 Kg/m3.
One exemplary embodiment of the present invention allows for membrane 10 to be substantially square having length and width equal to approximately 1000 μm. Other dimensions may be used depending on the specific application. A weight 16 may be affixed to an upper surface 18 of membrane 10 by conventional techniques such as by using an appropriate adhesive, bonding or electrodeposition, for example. Weight 16 may be comprised of a range of suitable materials such as lead, gold, silver, copper, nickel or other metals or metal alloys, for example. In one exemplary embodiment weight 16 is substantially square and affixed to the upper surface 18 at or near the geometrical center of the membrane 10. In alternate embodiments the weight 16 may assume other shapes and at least a portion of it may be embedded in the upper surface 18 to help secure it in place. The weight 16 may be affixed to the membrane 10 before or after the singulation step of the wafer fabrication process. In. an alternate embodiment the weight 16 may be fabricated as part of membrane 10 so that a portion of the weight 16 is above the upper surface 18.
Empirical simulations conducted by the assignee of the present invention demonstrate that for a membrane 10 with the dimensions of 500 μm�500 μm�30 μm having a 51 gram weight applied proximate to its center and with the membrane 10 having an elastic modulus of 169 MPa, a Poisson's ratio of 0.279 and a tensile strength of approximately 7000 MPa the stress concentrations along a portion of the edges 20 and 22 of the membrane 10 varied in response to a change in the angle of inclination of the member 10. The simulation demonstrates that as the angle of inclination from a reference position, such as horizontal, for example, increases the stress concentration decreases proportionately. The graph of FIG. 4 shows the proportional relationship between output voltage and the tilt of membrane 10 in degrees. In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention the output voltage indicative of tilt may only be used when the engine of an automobile, for example, is shutdown. In this respect, when the engine is shutdown the output voltage will not fluctuate and will output a signal that is proportional to the tilt angle. The output voltage will not fluctuate when the engine is shutdown because the weight 16 will not be vibrating in response to the engine running. Also, as the dimensions of the member 10 increase the mass of weight 16 may decrease.
The die or substrate 15 may be situated within a housing (not shown) so that the membrane 10 may be connected to known electronics for applying a voltage input across the piezoresistors 12 and 14. A variety of means are known in the art for reading and determining the output voltage signals in response to changes in resistance of the piezoresistors 12 and 14. Means are also well known for displaying the output voltage signal in terms of an angle of inclination, whether discrete values, threshold values or otherwise.
FIG. 5 graphically illustrates the second voltage output signal indicative of when the engine of an automobile is running vs. when it is not running. The second voltage output signal may take the form of a sinusoidal wave or similar oscillating wave in response to the vibration of the weight 16 caused by the engine running. The vibration of the weight 16 creates changes in the stresses experienced by the piezoresistor pairs 12 and 14. When the engine is not running the second voltage output signal may be steady rather than oscillating. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the oscillation of the second output voltage signal may be used by a microcontroller or processor associated with an automobile to generate an engine running condition signal using known techniques that may be used with an oil condition trending algorithm, for example. The microcontroller or processor may be associated with a main computer of an automobile or a sensor assembly such as an oil condition and level sensing assembly developed by the assignee of the present invention, for example. It will be recognized by. those skilled in the art that the second voltage output signal, being indicative of the vibration of a body, may be used for a wide range of purposes other than defining an engine running condition signal.
FIG. 6 is a schematic representation of the membrane 10, a processor 30 and a display device 32. In one exemplary embodiment the processor 30 and display device 32 may be integral to an internal combustion engine system such as that found in a commercial vehicle such as an automobile. The processor 30 may be a conventional processor and may include an oil level-measuring module 31 and an oil condition module 33. The membrane 10, which may be affixed to an automobile, for example, may be coupled with the processor 30 so that the processor may receive the first output voltage signal 34, the second output voltage signal 36 and the third output voltage signal 38. The processor 30 may be configured so that at least one of the first, second and third output voltage signals 34, 36 and 38 might be used with the oil level module 31 and/or the oil condition module 33. For example, in one exemplary embodiment the first output voltage signal 34 may be used with the oil level-measuring module 31 and the second output voltage signal 36 may be used with the oil condition module 33. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the second output voltage signal 36 may be indicative of the engine running and the third output voltage signal 38 may be indicative of the engine not running. The processor 30 may be coupled with a display device 32 such that the processor 30 may generate data indicative of oil level and oil condition that may be displayed on the display device 32. In one exemplary embodiment the display device 32 may be a conventional device found in the control panel of an automobile, for example.
While the exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described by way of example only, numerous variations, changes and substitutions will occur to those of skill in the art without departing from the invention herein. Accordingly, it is intended that the invention be limited only by the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

This site takes you into the world of amateur, lusty hardcore gangbang parties in the UK with real college girls and MILFs and real horny dudes. They get together, turn on the camera and share the sweet babes holes, taking turns having their big cocks sucked, fucking her tight holes then squirting out load after load of cum on their pretty faces.
There's a lot to like at Gang Fuckerz, but to start with let's focus on the babes that get passed around from one big cock to the next. All of these models are complete amateurs and women that generally love gang bang fucking. Something about having a dozen cocks to suck, slurp and fuck at the same time while being groped, prodded and fingered just gets these women's juices flowing. It's not acting, it's not a staged scene; it's a real gang bang party happening in private homes across the UK. This authentic reality really adds to the intensity of the scenes, of which there are quite a few for you to enjoy.
At the time of this review there are several dozen episodes that range in length, though most are over 30 minutes in duration. These are good-looking videos that you can enjoy in a kick ass Windows Media Player format.

Gang Fuckerz is pretty good about updating, about one new video every other week if not more often. Another great feature her is the diversity of the whores that get gang banged. Some scenes star MILFs with wrinkly bodies, saggy tits and hungry mouths that get filled with cock. Others star good, sweet and innocent looking college girls as they get stripped naked by multiple men, thrown on their backs and fucked deep in their pussies while the other guys take turns mouth fucking her.

Customer-first Marketing: Do you put your customers' interests first?
Fiduciary duty. These words have been in the news lately, as the government seeks to require that financial advisors have a fiduciary duty to their customers in certain cases.
A fiduciary duty is a legal duty to act solely in another party's interests. So what this new regulation essentially means is, financial advisors must put customer's interests before their own. And the financial industry has been fighting this.
As marketers – this should be crazy to us! This is what we should do every day: Put our customer's interests before our own. How can a business, much less an entire industry, be against the customer?
Remember: You are not your customers
Customer-first marketing begins with the realization that our desires and goals are not necessarily the same as our customers'.
Let me give you an example. Mary Abrahamson is an Email Marketing Specialist at Ferguson Enterprises.
Usually if you go to marketing industry events, and a mobile vendor asks, "Who has a smartphone?" we see that everybody raises their hands. And so the vendor says – "See, everyone has smartphones."
Well Mary realized – she wasn't her customer. Her customers were plumbers and HVAC professionals. These people often had flip phones. So, when she launched a mobile campaign, she made sure that text messaging was an important part of her campaign … not just apps. The campaign ultimately generated more than $10 million in online revenue.
So next time you're launching a campaign – take a fiduciary responsibility with your customers. Think of their needs … and not just your own.

Moving toward a transportation system that fuels healthy people and a healthy planet.
By John Rockhold
Honda, high mileage cars
Honda makes famously reliable cars, and there are thousands of people out there who have a crazy number of miles — 100K, 200K, 300K, even more — on numerous models such as the Civic, Accord, Insight and Odyssey.
Needless to say, these owners are proud of the number of miles on their cars; these aren't people who trade for something new every couple years. Honda recently launched an online community, The Honda Mile Makers Club, where they can share their stories and show off their reliable rides.
Here are just some of the interesting stories on the site:
A Civic with 1,170,910 miles.
An Insight (Honda's first gasoline-electric hybrid, unfortunately no longer in production) with 338,000 miles.
A Civic Hybrid with 595,000 miles.
An Odyssey (minivan) with 400,385 miles.
I can personally attest to the reliability of the Honda Civic. My wife and I own two of them, both are the 2001 model year. The green one has 135,000+ miles and the black one is knocking on the door of 100K. Sounds like I need to join Honda's club.
If you've got a 100,000+ mileage Honda, consider sharing your story. And if you've got a 100K+ vehicle, whether Honda, Toyota, Ford, GM or otherwise, post a comment to tell us about it.

Agoongus [Overview]
Amoonguss is one in a long line of Grass- / Poison-types with decent stats and an okay movepool. So why would you ever consider Amoonguss for a spot on your team? Firstly, Amoonguss's Grass- / Poison typing is surprisingly useful in the DW OU metagame. With rain teams on the rise, Amoonguss can switch into many top threats found on rain teams, such as Zapdos and Keldeo without the uncommon Choice Specs, and threaten them with Hidden Power Ice or Giga Drain respectively. In a tier dominated by the likes of Terrakion and Keldeo, Amoonguss's Fighting-type resistance can allow the mushroom to switch into many powerful Fighting-type STAB moves.

What really sets Amoonguss apart from other Grass- / Poison-types is Regenerator, one of the best abilities in a fast-paced metagame like DW OU. Not having to waste a moveslot on a recovery move allows Amoonguss to make full use of its moveset. Additionally, Regenerator allows Amoonguss to heal off entry hazard damage as the mushroom regains HP when it switches out. To put icing on the cake, Amoonguss has access to Spore, arguably the best move in the game, which can potentially disable a threat for the duration of the match. If you're looking for a great switch-in to many of DW's top threats, look no further than Amoonguss.
 [SET] name: Tank move 1: Spore move 2: Giga Drain move 3: Clear Smog / Stun Spore move 4: Hidden Power Ice / Hidden Power Fire item: Shed Shell / Leftovers nature: Bold ability: Regenerator evs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD [SET COMMENTS]
This is easily Amoonguss's best set. Spore is what sets Amoonguss apart from other Grass- / Poison-types as it's one of the best moves in the game. Spore is useful for disabling Genesect and Heatran, both omnipresent Amoonguss checks in DW OU. With BW's sleep mechanics, a one hundred percent accurate sleep inducing move can incapacitate a Pokemon for the rest of the match. Giga Drain is Amoonguss's best STAB move, dealing good chunks of damage to Water-types, such as Keldeo and Politoed. Clear Smog prevents set-up sweepers from taking advantage of Amoonguss once the mushroom has already used Spore. However, Stun Spore is useful for crippling fast offensive Amoonguss switch-ins like Genesect and Garchomp. Hidden Power Ice is incredibly useful for taking down the popular Dragon-types in DW OU, namely Garchomp and Dragonite, both of whom take little from Giga Drain. However, Hidden Power Fire is a viable option for taking out Steel-types that may try to take advantage of Amoonguss, like Ferrothorn, Forretress, and Genesect.
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
Shed Shell is the preferred item, as Amoonguss is easily revenge killed by Chandelure. If Chandelure is not a huge problem for your team, feel free to use Leftovers. As mentioned previously, Regenerator is one of the best abilities in a fast paced metagame like DW OU, so increased longevity without the cost of a moveslot is always appreciated. The EVs maximize Amoonguss's physical bulk and HP to make the mushroom a fine physical wall. If you don't want to use a physical EV spread, feel free to use a specially defensive EV spread to shut down special attackers such as Zapdos and Keldeo more effectively. The spread for this set would be 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Def and a Calm nature.

Since Amoonguss walls such a significant portion of the DW OU metagame, teammates that can sweep with those Pokemon incapacitated or removed make great partners. Tyranitar has good type synergy with Amoonguss and can take on the powerful special attackers that defeat Amoonguss, such as Chandelure and Latios. Additionally, Amoonguss can take on Keldeo, one of Tyranitar's biggest counters. In a similar aspect, Heatran also has decent type synergy with Amoonguss and can take on powerful special attackers for Amoonguss. Amoonguss takes on Keldeo and Breloom for Heatran, two large Heatran counters. Politoed is a fine Amoonguss teammate as it lessens the damage Fire-type moves do to Amoonguss with the its Drizzle ability.

Teammates that can deal with Genesect, one of Amoonguss's most popular checks, make for good partners. Notable examples of Pokemon that can deal with the metal bug are Heatran and Jellicent. Speaking of Heatran, it can switch in on Amoonguss without fear once Amoonguss has already put something to sleep, and proceed to finish off the mushroom with a Fire Blast. Thus, something that can take on Heatran effectively, such as Tyranitar or Jellicent, makes for a good Amoonguss partner.
 [Other Options]
Amoonguss has access to some useful moves. Payback is useful for discouraging Chandelure from setting up Substitutes. Toxic is a legitimate option over Stun Spore if you don't care about paralysis. Amoonguss has access to Sunny Day and Rain Dance, so the aforementioned moves can be used on sun or rain teams respectively as a back-up plan. Synthesis can be used but is not recommended due to the number of sand and rain teams running rampant in DW OU. Synthesis is a fine option, however, if you're using Amoonguss on a sun team. Similarly, Growth can also be used on a sun team to make Amoonguss a bulky sweeper, but you're better off using Venusaur. Although Amoonguss's movepool is rather shallow, it has all it needs to be effective.
 [Checks and Counters]
More offensive teams should have no problem dealing with Amoonguss, despite the mushroom's walling capabilities. When playing against Amoonguss, it's necessary to maintain momentum with Pokemon such as Rotom-W, who lure in Amoonguss, and then Volt Switch out into something like Heatran who can scorch the mushroom with a Fire Blast. Genesect is a fine switch-in to Amoonguss once the mushroom has put something to asleep and can either take out the mushroom with an Ice Beam or Flamethrower, or maintain momentum with U-turn. Since most offensive teams rely on momentum, a Rapid Spin user is useful to ensure that you can continue to maintain momentum against Amoonguss users for the majority of the battle. Finally, Chandelure is popular on many offensive teams and can trap the mushroom with Shadow Tag and OHKO with Fire Blast or Overheat. Rain teams can use Manaphy to its full potential, as with Hydration, the Water-type can ignore Spore and takes little from Giga Drain after a Calm Mind. Even if Manaphy is not utilizing Calm Mind, it can set up a Tail Glow or two and finish off Amoonguss with an Ice Beam.

Stall teams have the most trouble against Amoonguss since the mushroom absorbs Toxic Spikes and Amoonguss doesn't care too much about entry hazards because or random Scald burns because of Regenerator. Finally, Amoonguss is immune to Toxic, one of stall's best ways of taking down teams. Thus, having a Heatran on your stall team will give you a great answer to teams running Amoonguss. With a status absorber, Heatran can freely switch into Amoonguss fearing nothing and can set up Stealth Rock on a predicted switch, Roar on a predicted switch, or use Lava Plume to scorch the mushroom.

text: 000 FXUS63 KBIS 231728 AFDBIS Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 1228 PM CDT SAT JUL 23 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 1217 PM CDT Sat Jul 23 2016 Surface low pressure is located over north central SD with showers and thunderstorms extending from northeast ND into the far southern James River valley. Best moisture surface convergence is shifting south and east of our southeast CWA. So although it remains quite unstable over the southern JRV, the threat of severe weather is quickly coming ton an end. Possibly an hour or two over far southeast Dickey county. Otherwise a few showers lingering over the far northeast CWA but drier air will quickly expand from western into central ND through the afternoon putting an end to any thunderstorm activity. With only a sliver of the far southeast remaining in a threat of heavy rain will allow the flood advisory to expire as intended at 1 pm. UPDATE Issued at 1002 AM CDT Sat Jul 23 2016 Convection continues to track east across Kidder and into Stutsman county. Did receive a quarter sized hail report in southeast Kidder county on the southern cell of the line of storms. Otherwise most reports have been heavy rain and small hail. Still a potential for strong to severe storms yet through early afternoon across mainly the James River Valley as shortwave pushes across western into central ND this morning. Updated pops and sky cover based on latest radar and satellite trends. Did trim back the flash flood watch quite a bit leaving only the far southeast counties. UPDATE Issued at 607 AM CDT Sat Jul 23 2016 Convection is slowly intensifying across central ND as of 11 UTC. HRRR and HRRR-experimental simulations have generally suggested an uptick in intensity to the thunderstorm activity through 15 UTC, and their updraft helicity signatures have at times signaled some risk of organized, severe storms. However, there`s been little in the way of run-to-run continuity in those simulations, which in turn lowers our confidence in the specifics of storm evolution through the morning. Suffice to say that the MUCAPE-shear setting is favorable for a few severe storms, along with heavy rainfall. All we did with this update was refresh hourly fields through the late afternoon using a consensus of recent short-range guidance. We will leave the flash flood watch in tact with this cycle, but parts of it may be cancelled with the next update. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 250 AM CDT Sat Jul 23 2016 Main highlight today is the ongoing showers and thunderstorms across portions of western and central North Dakota. Tied to this is a flood watch for central ND which remains in effect through early afternoon. The latest water vapor imagery shows the upper level low circulating over southeast Alberta with an associated cold front now into eastern Montana. Much drier air behind the front with dewpoints in the 40s. This front will be into western ND around 12z Saturday, then shifting into central ND by 18z. Still expect periodic showers and thunderstorms ahead of the cold front. Some storms will contain very heavy downpours. The drier air in Montana will spill into western ND this afternoon. Severe thunderstorms possible across the James River Valley today as noted by SPC day one outlook. With the cold front not pushing through until 21z-00z, the greatest cape axis and shear will reside here for possible severe thunderstorms. Farther west, expect drier but windy conditions with increasing sunshine. Tranquil weather tonight with a clear sky expected. Lows will mainly be in the 50s. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday) Issued at 250 AM CDT Sat Jul 23 2016 Shortwave ridging temporarily dominates Sunday and most of Monday resulting in dry and warmer weather. Monday afternoon, the threat for showers and thunderstorms returns in southwest ND then expands into central ND Monday night. Tuesday through Friday expect near daily chances for showers and thunderstorms as a unsettled west to northwest flow takes control. The GFS and ECMWF in good agreement with precipitation chances exiting from west to east Friday, followed by a dry Saturday. Highs for the week will begin warm with 80s to lower 90s, followed by a gradual cooling trend Wednesday through Friday. During this time highs will range from the 70s north to around 80 south. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon) Issued at 1217 PM CDT Sat Jul 23 2016 VFR conditions expected through the 18z forecast period. West to northwest flow over Western ND will progress across central ND this afternoon. Winds will be breezy at KISN and KDIK through the afternoon and will pick up this afternoon at KMOT KBIS and KJMS. Lingering moisture behind the exiting low pressure system will bring periods vfr cigs late tonight into Sunday morning. && .BIS Watches/Warnings/Advisories... Flash Flood Watch until 1 PM CDT this afternoon for NDZ023-025- 036-037-047-048-050-051. && $$ UPDATE...TWH SHORT TERM...KS LONG TERM...KS AVIATION...TWH

Good location by Kata beach which is a bit of a chilled vibe! Not the greatest of you are looking for a party but perfect for a couple of quiet days! The staff are really helpful! Would recommend for divers but also good if you aren't going to dive

The good: the staff were quite friendly and helpful, the hostel is in a good location with only a short walk to the beach, and they provide you with a locker and key. They also sell water, beer, etc. Everything was fairly clean as well The bad: the bed was extremely uncomfortable, I couldn't get one good night sleep, the environment is pretty quiet, maybe not bad for some but not really my vibe.

Great location only 5 min walk from the beach. Really helpful staff that can help you find the best snorkelling or shops etc. Only down side was the bed I stayed on had a huge pillow which meant I slept at a funny angle and got a stiff neck for a few days, but other than that a great hostel.

The Entrepreneur's Corner
What's in a (business) name?
A business name is important. It can tell the public what you offer, it can distinguish the business from others and it can cause the business owners problems if not carefully considered.
Many new business owners spend a great deal of time thinking up their business names without clearing the name before using it and then not properly using it once they get going. A business name is the commercial name a business uses and it may not be the same as the name of the corporation or limited liability company that owns the business.
A few simple checks can help relieve a business owner from name problems in the business down the road.
The first thing a business owner should check is whether the name is available for use as a name for a business entity at the Virginia State Corporation Commission. If the chosen name is not available, keep trying until you have a name that you can use.
The exact name of the business entity, including the "Inc." or "LLC" at the end, is the name of the entity and the name that has to be used if nothing else is done. These endings are what inform customers that they are not dealing with an individual, but a business entity when they do business with you.
Many people drop the Inc. or LLC and do not realize that by doing that, they individually are using the name and that the corporation or LLC is no longer involved in the business.
The business name should also be checked for violations of another's trademark rights before using it. This can be easily checked online at the Patent and Trademark Office for federal trademarks and at the State Corporation Commission for state trademarks.
How does a business use just the good part of its name without the Inc. or LLC and how do multiple businesses use the same name, like in a franchise system? This is done by filing what is called a Certificate of Assumed Name – a fairly simple document that says what the business entity's true name is, what name it wants to use in business and the address at which it will use the name.
This document gets filed at the Circuit Court in the jurisdiction where the business is located and a certified copy of that filing gets filed with the State Corporation Commission.
That way, members of the public can know that the McDonalds at a certain address is really owned by a franchisee called XYZ, LLC and not McDonalds Corporation. All of this information is available publicly, so everyone is considered to have access to it.

Good food and fun, bargain prices
Pelon's serves up a good mix of variety, value
I first stumbled into Pelon's on a Wednesday night, lured by the promise of $2 tacos and beers. At those prices, I had assumed the place was a hole in the wall, and was pleasantly surprised by the spacious, pleasant interior.
Having spent my teen summers in Virginia Beach surfing, I also felt instantly at home amid the ocean-themed decor. From the ride-the-waves posters lining the walls and the TV displaying non-stop surfing footage, to the foosball table and enormous spools serving as tables, Pelon's is a delight for beach lovers and surfing fans. Reading the menu is part of the entertainment here, as patrons browse burrito choices that include Rip Tide, The Curl, Hawaiian Pipeline and Big Kahuna. > Read more.

We arrived at a ridiculously early hour of the morning, just after sunrise, and we were welcomed with smiles and immediately shown to our ground-floor room that looked onto the beautiful, shady garden courtyard. The accommodations were excellent: crisp, smooth sheets on a comfortable king-sized bed; high-quality toiletries in the prettiest hotel bathroom I've ever seen, although it was on the small side; fresh fruit and bottled water every day. The breakfast buffet was decadent (and expensive) so we chose to eat from the pastry and coffee table only for 1/3 the cost - the pastries, yogurt, fresh fruit and juices were ample enough to satisfy even my husband's big breakfast habits! We ate two lunches and one dinner out on the town with friends, and one dinner on our own at the hotel's Tatu restaurant. The steak was out of this world, and the entire meal was a complete pleasure. Something not to be missed: High Tea, ordered from the Tea Room, and taken on the brick terrace. Culinary decadence in a lovely, quiet, grassy and shady courtyard. Like living a scene from "Out of Africa." We also enjoyed after dinner drinks, taken outside on luxurious leather sofas, at the Cin Cin wine bar. The historical appeal combined with modern amenities and excellent service make Fairmont the Norfolk a must-stay in Nairobi.
Only three "complaints" to note: the shower head was in need of replacing; I wonder if the security checkpoint (which is much appreciated!) might be moved to a location that doesn't block the entrance to, and dominate the view from some of the table at, the terrace where breakfast is served; the hotel laundry service was the most expensive I have ever encountered.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Located just minutes from Nairobi's best attractions, including the home of Karen Blixen, from the Academy Award winning film 'Out of Africa', Fairmont The Norfolk offers luxurious guestrooms and suites, set amidst tropical gardens.

Built in 1904, the hotel has been completely refurbished with a heated outdoor swimming pool, health club, sauna and steam rooms with massage facilities, tropical landscaped grounds, and award winning restaurants and bars from steak and seafood at Tatu restaurant, afternoon tea to Lord Delamere Terrace for international cuisine. The hotel is walking distance from artisanal craft shops, modern shopping centres, Sheldrick's Elephant Sanctuary, National Museums of Kenya and is the launch point for 'bucket list' worthy safari tours, which can be organized at the 24 hour concierge desk. A free shuttle bus is available to and from Jomo Kenyatta International airport, located 11 miles away. Business Guests are also offered a complimentary return shuttle ride to their office with free WiFi on board. ... more less

I use the Zekes herald as my life steal item and cdr item. Apart of what makes Ez so powerful is his abilities. But in this case, mystic shot. Now, with Zekes Herald , Iceborn Gauntlet, and Ioanian boots, plus the cdr mastery, he has a grand total of 49% cdr. His mystic shot pops every 4 seconds without cdr, however, 4 seconds with the cdr is 1.96 seconds, and with his passive rising spell force, cutting his spell cd down by a second for each spell hit, you get to pop a mystic shot every .96 seconds, 4 miliseconds shy of a second. Now Ezreals q is a big source of his damage, its apart of what makes him powerful as a champion, but also what makes him weak compared to other Adcs if he does not use all of his advantages. The reason an ezreal might not win against MF 1v1 is that he isn't popping his mystic shots every second. he pops it with iceborn gauntlet that causes freeze and slow, mf won't stand a chance. It is also important to note that what makes Ez strong in team fights are his skillshots and his ability to poke from a distance, if he pokes from a distance every second with mystic shot, it can make for a powerful harass.The Merc scimitar is a combination of resist cc/magicres / more attack dmg. It is all around a good item.
CDR caps at 40% and I'm pretty sure there's a universal cooldown on next-hit effects of about 3 seconds. You say you're focusing on spells, so you should exchange the IE for a Gunblade or Bloodthirster... You know, something you actually benefit from.5/10 would not build.
1. CDR caps at 40%2. Even if it was 49% CDR; 4 seconds doesn't turn into 1.96...
You are not allowed to request a sticky.


text: "...In the case of Seattle three-piece JAR, there's some really fantastic things brewing by a band that is collectively younger than Ozzy Osbourne. Humans is a launching point, and a strong one at that. From the edgy opening-song "Clever Lullaby", to the softer, piano driven track "Should've Worked," there's a lot to praise. First off, 19-year-old lead vocalist and drummer (Yes, you read that right) John Thornburg has some massive chops. I'm pretty sure if he started a Circa Survive cover band he could put Anthony Green out of a job. Thornburg flawlessly switches between high and soaring to rough and angry in a matter of seconds, which is most evident on the title-track "Humans." Likewise, lead guitarist Russ Thornburg, 15, and bassist Julio Pasada, 19, help create a record that's rich in musical prowess and crammed with influences -- the guitar solo in "Nail" is not to be missed. Did I mention their lead guitarist is 15?"
