Used the yoast version for years - not without any issues, but always solved - on all my sites. This one just don't work. Maybe it's a clash with another plugin but I can't spend hours to check out on 20+ websites what is causing the drama.
Besides: free does not mean 'free to ask you for money on every occasion we can find'.
Will simply not work.
Really disappointed by this plugin, we had issues with the switchover where it deactivated itself and now we are finding that it severely impacting on page load time.
After much experimentation it appears that having the "Allow tracking of anonymous data" turned on adds 2 seconds onto site loading time!
This is the last straw, we are now going to remove it from 70 client websites.
You never truly appreciate Yoast till it's gone.
That's pretty much it.
I oversee several larger scale e-commerce sites which all have been using this plugin for at least a year. Recently MonsterInsites has acquired the property rights from Yoast, and with it caused quite a bit of trouble for me :P
For starters, upon this new ownership, it would seem that everyone using the plugin had to endure quite a load of updates. Much of which seemed pointless and more brand-related, neglecting the current customer-base. I have even noticed the logo on the backend being drastically changed ATLEAST 2 times (so much so that I was getting requests that clients were not able to find the plugin!!!).
More recently an update was rolled out for tracking e-commerce data, which ultimately failed, no longer recording transactions (something rather important to e-commerce business). Luckily I keep all the sites which are under my eye in version control repo for situations like this and was able to roll back the changes... but what about the missing data I now have to account for when deciphering analytical data.
Now I understand that Monsterinsights is only trying to understand the way everything works here, but as mentioned before, all of this BRANDING stuff being thrown into updates needs to stop! I have not yet moved to another solution BUT can certainly admit to having looked around for an alternative (and to being somewhat convinced of sending my business elsewhere).
On that note, I regretfully would encourage everyone to go elsewhere in search of a Google Analytics plugin, as these guys have only made things difficult thus far.
I am deleting this plugin on all sites where I've installed it, and I will be sticking with my long-time favorite, Google Analytics Dashboard for WP. It's a simple, set and forget plugin with the basic, most useful reports.
I started to use the previous versions of this plugin when Yoast owned it because I think he provides a good balance between decent freemium products (that I trust will be maintained well) and the commercial need to upsell additional features. Now, under its new ownership, this plugin hijacks the WP admin interface with large, loud, and in my opinion ugly branding and nonstandard notifications. This is disruptive and disorienting to the user, and it indicates a nagware marketing model in which the user is treated as a target for spam. That's a trust-breaker for me, so I'm out and heartily disrecommending this plugin and the company behind it.
I've deleted this plugin on all my sites and switched to Google Analytics Dashboard for WP which, in my opinion, is a better choice. Very easy to set up and it has more relevant/useful reports in dashboard.
Apparently, Yoast has sold this plugin to some other guy who does not even take the time to explain why and how he gained control over it.
It took me some time to understand how this bullshit plugin has been installed on my website. I realised too late it was by updating the Google Analytics by Yoast plugin. Sorry Chris and Syed, by I trust Yoast and the way you gained control over his plugin does not encourage me to trust you.
As soon as I installed this I was visited immediately by a dozen spammers like:
[ Spammy links redacted, please do not post those again. ]
and more
Also the reports are almost useless. So I uninstalled. I'm using Yoast.
As soon as I read the plugin had been taken over by Syed, I knew it was time to leave. The man goes about one thing, and one thing only, monetization. Make no mistake, he's coming for your wallet! So I'm moving all my sites over to Google Analytics Dashboard for WP, which was recommended on WP Tavern.
Hope this helps someone.

This hotel is easy to get to with beautiful accommodations. We opted to upgrade our room and it was well worth the money. The room had a separate bedroom with king-size bed, nice linens, good climate control and great view from each room. It also had two bathrooms and separate small kitchen.
Check-in was quick and the representative made us feel very welcomed. This hotel is in good proximity to the highway and a short walking distance to the ballpark. I would definitely recommend this hotel when staying in Houston.

Is Monsters University modeled after a specific university, and if so, what university? After watching the movie, the campus seems familiar to me, but I can't pick out exactly what it is.
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.
According to this article, Monsters University is at least partly modeled on UC Berkeley. The article has several illustrations showing how familiar Berkeley landmarks such as Sather Gate and the Campanile are copied in the film.
According to this article, inspiration from the Monsters U campus draws from schools Pixar animators flew out to research on, such as Princeton, Harvard, Stanford, UC Berkeley.
From the source:
Some specific example they cite are:
Google again... They said several colleges but mostly U. c Berkley, MIT Harvard and other schools the artists went to
The university is clearly modeled after the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. With the large campus, student population, and popular Greek life it must be this university. Hail to the victors

Product Description
A romantic drama in the Masterpiece Theater vein, this John Madden film looks at the relationship between Queen Victoria and John Brown, a commoner who, though a servant, becomes her closest friend and confidant. As such, he proves the catalyst to bring her back into public life and out of her private mourning for the late Prince Albert. But the closeness of their friendship sets tongues wagging about the impropriety of what appears to be an affair between queen and commoner (an issue the film never directly addresses). The film's charm lies in the flinty give-and-take between the wonderfully starchy Judi Dench as Victoria and the robust Scottish comedian Billy Connolly, here playing it straight as a strong-willed Scotsman who comes to enjoy the power he wields by virtue of having the queen's ear. Antony Sher is also striking as Prime Minister Disraeli, in a performance that all but shimmers with unspoken malice. --Marshall Fine --This text refers to the VHS Tape edition.

The comments on the DVD cover lead us to believe that the relationship between the two transitioned into a quiet love affair. However, not even this movie portrayed that belief, and historical records certainly don't support this assumption. Brown took great care of the Queen, and took his responsibility very seriously. He had the wisdom to know how to bring her out of the depression and back into life. Victoria's true love was Prince Albert. John Brown and Victoria had a deep friendship. Her family, staff and many in the government were against their relationship. Perhaps it was because he was an outspoken, passionate (about life) Scot who threatened their idea of what it meant to be royalty.
Some have viewed this movie to be boring, slow and dull. Actually, this movie revealed how slow, boring and dull royal life really was, with protocol idolized above all else and emotion was held in check. How exciting would life be in that situation with the Queen demanding that the whole household accompany her in mourning and black dress for two years? The interpretation of English royal life in this movie was perfectly given and wonderfully acted. If there had been more truth and less fiction in the story line, I would have given this 5 stars. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys learning about British history, with a follow-up on the internet with more of the facts.
MRS. BROWN centers on Queen Victoria and is based on actual events. It opens in 1864, two years after the death of Victoria's very beloved husband, Prince Albert. Unable to pull herself out of mourning, Victoria lives in almost total isolation at Windsor Castle and her family, friends and staff have become her unwilling prisoners. Silence and grief are the rule at Windsor and even though several well-meaning friends and advisors attempt to bring the queen out of the deep depression into which she's fallen, it's all to no avail. Finally, in one last, desperate effort, Victoria's wonderfully loyal and caring secretary, Henry Posonby, sends for one of Albert's old stable hands at Balmoral, John Brown. Brown is a Highlander and Victoria, you see, subscribed to the belief that "all Highlanders are good for the health." Posonby can hope she's right.
Brown certainly shakes things up when he arrives at Windsor. Unlike Victoria's other servants, Brown doesn't coddle Victoria's depression. He's too smart for that and he knows that's not the way to get the job done. Naturally, Victoria is, at first, annoyed at Brown's loud and unpolished manner and her staff is horrified. Little by little, however, Victoria responds to Brown's affection and caring and a deep and lasting friendship develops between the two as Brown pulls Victoria back to life.
Although the friendship between Brown and Victoria develops rather slowly and, in the film, at least, there's no hint of it being anything other than platonic, palace gossips can't help but dub Victoria, "Mrs. Brown."

This is a story of a unique friendship formed between two very unlike characters: Queen Victoria and her servant Mr. Brown. As the story developed I was completely absorbed by the lives of these two people, as if I was actually part of it rather then watching the film.
Story is incredibly well told (though I do wish filmmakers were not in such a rush to end it), cinematography is absolutely beautiful and as far as the historical part of the movie it was perfectly captured. And then there are actors involved in this movie.
I do not think that my knowledge of English language will allow me to fully describe superb talent of Judi Dench, which by all means is unmatched by anyone alive today. Her performance was absolutely flawless. Academy should be ashamed for not awarding her with an Oscar and choosing Helen Hunt's performance over hers. Not even a contest in my opinion.
As incredible as Judi Dench is I'm sure it is very hard to find costars that will not be completely overshadowed by her. But Billy Connelly filled the screen with his brilliant performance. Perfect chemistry between the two. And of course - Geoffrey Palmer who happens to be Judi's long time costar from BBC's "As Time Goes By" (which I think is one of the best TV comedies of all time). When you get so caught up in a movie that you forget it's not a real life you know that actors are doing an incredible job.
This is an exceptionally well made film, a stunning piece of cinematography. And I think it should be a part of any movie-lovers collection. It certainly is part of mine.

Kitten for Sheriff urges CEOs to lock themselves up
Anyone remember the kitten that thought it could get more Facebook support than Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek?
Well, apparently the people behind this campaign have taken it pretty far. In addition to just trying to up its Facebook stats, supporters for the Kitten for Sheriff ticket held an event last week where they passed out campaign stickers. The feline candidate -- running for sheriff under the Kitten Obedience ticket, of course -- even has a Twitter account.
Today, the Kitten for Sheriff campaign sent out a press release announcing "Operation Litter Sweep" -- a jab at Stanek's call for fugitives to turn themselves in, announced by his office earlier this week.
Here's who the Kitten campaign thinks should turn themselves in to authorities:
- Bank CEOs and other executives, especially those engaged in the theft of citizens' homes through foreclosures, accepting government bailout payments, and various financial scams.
- Politicians from all parties who support war operations domestic and international, and steal funds to finance pet projects such as stadiums.
- Crooked cops or anyone in uniform who arrests, kidnaps, detains, harasses, beats, murders, or uses other types of force against people.
Read the full jest press release at Twin Cities Indymedia.
And in case you're wondering, Kitten hasn't quite surpassed Stanek in Facebook support. As of now, Stanek's campaign has 343 "likes." Kitten has 262. Still, kind of impressive for a cat.

text: Pfizer You don't have to be an expert technical analyst to see what's going on in Pfizer ( PFE). Shares of the drug giant have been climbing higher in a well-defined uptrend for the better part of the last year -- and shares are up more than 14% year-to-date alone. Clearly, PFE is a relative strength leader in the healthcare sector right now. So how do you trade it? There's a glut of buyers sitting underneath that trend line support line in PFE -- and it's spurred reversals the last four times shares approached the trendline. Those support and resistance levels give us a high probability range for this stock to trade within. And as you might expect, the ideal time to be a buyer is on a bounce off of support. When you're looking to buy a stock within a trend channel, buying after a bounce off of support makes sense for two big reasons: it's the spot where shares have the furthest to move up before they hit resistance, and it's the spot where the risk is the least (because shares have the least room to move lower before you know you're wrong). While that means that some patience will be required for an entry in Pfizer, that patience will pay off. Prev 3 of 6 Next

Primary Examiner- Robert w. Michell Assistant Examiner-Richard Carter Attorney-Imirie and Smiley [57] ABSTRACT The eflect of a wood or similar fire in a fireplace is simulated by the combination of an incandescent light .bulb situated to illuminate discrete and separate areasof a rotatable blade or paddle assembly. The blade or paddle assembly is rotated and located behind the incandescent light source and both are enclosed within a shell having the shape, configuration and appearance of a bed of coals, a log fire or the like. The incandescent source orsources are mounted behind opaque portions of the shell and the blade or paddle assembly is rotated and is so constructed as to effect reflection of the incandescent source in such fashion that the reflected light on the interior of the shell moves upwardly and gives the appearance of flickering, thereby to simulate flames.

l, nwsm'on {CLAUDE A. PAINTON M, ATTORNEYS ILLUMINATING DISPLAY FOR SIMULATING A FIRE CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION This application is related to copending application, Ser. No. 827,113 filed May 16, 1969, a streamlined continuation of application, Ser. No. 578,586, filed Over the last few years a number of different schemes for simulating a coal, coke or log fire have appeared on the market, the simulated fires generally being formed as integral parts of electric heaters or gas heaters. Special attention has been directed in these simulated fires to obtaining a realistic flame effect, and in many cases a rotatable disc or the like is arranged to rotate in a horizontal plane above an orange or red lamp so as to produce a flickering light-pattern, the rotation of the disc being effected by convection currents caused by the heat of the lamp. The flickeringlamp pattern thus produced certainly increases the realism of the simulated fire, but it does not entirely suggest the dancing flames of a real fire.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention seeks to overcome the above noted disadvantages by housing an incandescent light source and a reflecting assembly in a shell which itself simulates a wood or log fire, for example, and wherein the reflecting assembly is rotated behind and above the light source. The reflecting assembly is rotatable about a horizontal axis and includes a series of horizontally spaced reflecting portions radiating from the axis of rotation and circumferentially spaced therearound. The reflecting surfaces present spaces between them along the length of the reflecting member and adjacent I rows or general levels of the reflecting surfaces are staggered so that during rotation of the reflecting assembly, the reflecting areas of various reflecting surfaces progressively interfere with one another so as to decrease the reflecting areas of the surfaces as such surfaces are angularly disposed to sweep the reflections upwardly on the shell thus giving a flickering effect to the simulated flames as they move upwardly from the bottom to the top of the shell.
An aim of the present invention to provide a simulated fire which imitates in a more realistic way than hitherto the dancing flames of an actual fire, and according to the invention a simulated fire comprises a shell or panel through the whole of which or through one or more portions of which light can pass, and a rotatable, motor-driven, light-reflecting element arranged to reflect light from one or more lamps on to the shell or panel so as to give the effect of flames, the light-reflecting element being of open-work construction so that light can pass through it and being provided with a number of light-reflecting surfaces at different angles to each other.
In one formof simulated fire in accordance with the invention, the light-reflecting vanes made of metal foil,
thin sheet metal or synthetic plastic material coated with a light-reflecting material, the vanes being disposed radially around a central spindle or shaft. Each vane or series of elements forming a vane is of zigzag shape along its length so that at least its outer edge or, in some instances, both its longitudinal edges are of saw-tooth formation. When the inner longitudinal edges of the vanes are of saw-tooth form, they are spaced away from the spindle or shaft, thus leaving a central open space in the element through which light can pass. In a preferred embodiment, each vane assembly is formed by a series of separate paddles, each of generally triangular form so that open spaces are provided near the shaft between each adjacent pair of paddles. The shaft extends horizontally and is connected to a small electric motor which rotates the element in such a sense that light falling on the element from one or more orange or red lamps positioned close to it is reflected in an upwardly moving pattern on to a shell in the form of a simulated fuel-bed which covers the element and which has translucent, transparent or cut-away portions to allow for the passage of light through it. Some of the light will of course be directly received from the lamp or lamps, but the fuel-bed will also receive flame-shaped upwardly moving reflections from the vanes resulting from their zig-zag construction and the open-work construction of the element as a whole. Rotation of the assembly varies the light reflecting area of vanes or paddles due to their continually varying angularities with respect to the light source and to their mutual interferences. In this way the dancing or flickering flames of real fire are simulated in a most realistic manner.
Running tests which have been made on simulated fires constructed in accordance with the invention have emphasized the importance of using a rotatable lightreflecting element which is of open-work construction so that light can pass through it. Thus, it has been found that the dancing flames of a real fire are simulated much more realistically if the light is-reflected off the surfaces of the vanes of the light-reflecting element not only when they are close to the source of light but also when they are on the opposite side of the rotational axis of the light-reflecting element from the light. The openwork construction of the element has the additional advantage that at least some of the light from the source of light is able to pass through the element so as to fall on a stationary background or reflector which will normally be placed behind the rotatable element.
Preferably the individual teeth in each of the vanes which form the light-reflecting surfaces of the rotatable element are of curved or shallow V section so that they reflect light falling on them from different directions. Where the teeth are of shallow V-section, it has been ascertained that, for best results the angle of the V: should be about or greater, as a blurred effect can be obtained if the angle is much less than this. Arising out of this, it will be seen that other possibilities exist for concentrating the light reflected from the rotatable element. For example, the individual teeth on the vanes can each be provided with one or more cheap lenses made of synthetic plastic or glass in the manner of catseyes which reflect and concentrate the light in a manner calculated to enhance the dancing flame effect of the fires. It is also possible to give the vanes a mirror surface by making them for example out of thin brass or copper sheet and coating them with a highly reflective chromium surface.

DETAILED DESCRIPTIONOF THE INVENTION The heating appliance shown in FIG. 1 is typical of the commercially available appliances which have means simulating a solid-fuel fire. In this particular instance the fuel bed 10 comprises a shell of synthetic plastic material which is shaped and colored so as to resemble a coal fire, but it could just as well be made to simulate a log-fire or a coke-fire. The heating appliance shown has electric heating elements 12 arranged above the simulated fuel-bed, but it is equally possible for the invention to be applied to a gas-fire.
Concealed beneath the shell 10, as shown in FIG. 3, is a lighting assembly 14 which throws light on to the undersurface of the shell and on to the back surface 16 behind the shell. To allow this light to pass at least partially through the shell, the latter is provided with translucent, transparent or cut-away portions in its surface. The lighting assembly 14 includes one or more orange or red electric lamps 18 (see FIG. 2) which throw light directly on to the under-surface of the shell 10, thus lighting up the translucent, transparent or cut-away portions between the coals of the shell with a red or orange glow. This gives the effect of a glowing fire but does not of itself produce a moving flame effect. It is in fact very difficult to produce a realistic flame effect with the lighting assemblies hitherto used in heating appliances of the kind shown in FIG. 1, but the lighting assembly 14 is so constructed as to produce an upwardly moving light-pattem which simulates the dancing flames of a real coal fire in a most realistic manner. This is achieved by providing a rotatable light-reflecting element 20 of open-work construction so that light from the lamps or bulbs 18 can pass through it as well as being reflected from it, the element 20 being formed of a number of light-reflecting vanes 22 which are disposed radially around a spindle or shaft 24 forming the axis of rotation of the element. The vanes are made of metal foil, thin metal sheet (for example, aluminum or copper foil) or synthetic plastic material with a lightreflecting surface, and are of zig-zag shape along their lengths so that the longitudinal edges of each vane are of saw-tooth construction. As shown in FIG. 2, the inner longitudinal edges of the vanes are all spaced away from the spindle or shaft 24, thus leaving a central open space 26 in the element 20 through which light from the bulbs 18 can pass.
The element 20 is supported by two brackets 28 and 30 so that the shaft 24 lies horizontally, the shaft being driven at a speed of between 10 and 50 r. p. m. by a small electric motor 32 which is coupled to the shaft 24 by a rubber sleeve 34 so as to take up manufacturing tolerances. The shaft rotates in an anticlockwise direction as seen in FIG. 3 so that the light reflected by the moving vanes 22 travels upwards in a moving pattern over the under-surface of the shell 10. Because of the zig-zag construction of the vanes and because of the open-work construction of the element 20, the moving light-pattem thus produced closely resembles the flames of burning coal. The resemblance to real flames is enhanced by giving the vanes a slight helical twist as shown in FIG. 5 and by staggering the teeth of adjacent vanes in the manner shown in FIG. 6. It is also advantageous to mount a vertically corrugated stationary reflector 36 behind the element 20 (see FIG. 3). The reflector 36 in this instance is generally flat (except for the corrugations) and an even better result can be obtained by using a curved reflector 38 as shown in FIG. 13.
The manner in which the vanes 22 are arranged around the shaft 24 is illustrated in FIG. 4. From this it will be seen that a disc 40 is provided at each end of the shaft and that the ends of the vanes are formed with turned-over tongues 42 which pass through slits in the discs. The particular light-reflecting element shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 has six such vanes, but a smaller or greater number of vanes can be used instead. It is however preferable for there to be an even number of vanes in order that they may be staggered in the manner shown in FIG. 6.
As will be seen from FIG. 5, the individual teeth in each of the vanes 22 are of shallow V section so that they reflect light falling on them from both lamps 18. The angle of the V section is about or greater, as a blurred effect can be obtained if the angle is much less than this.
The effectiveness of the simulated fire shown in FIGS. 1 6 is enhanced by so shaping the shell and so positioning it relatively to the rotatable element that there are one or more window portions 44 of the shell which lie about one inch or less from the circular path of the outer edges of the vanes 22, the portion or portions 44 being translucent so as to transmit an appreciable proportion of light from behind the shell. It has been found that these translucent portion or portions of the shell should preferably be made of a transparent synthetic plastic material such as polyester resin which has a roughened, brokenup, scratched or scoured surface which thus renders it translucent. Further details of these window portions are given below in the description of FIGS. 7 and 8.v
The two simulated fires shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 and FIG. 9 both have a rotatable light-reflecting element 20 of the same construction as that shown in FIGS. 2 6. However, the shells 10 of the fires are somewhat different from what is shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, and these will now be described in detail.
The shell 10 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is shaped and colored so as to resemblev logs, the material out of which the shell is made being a clear synthetic plastic such as .clear polyester resin. Translucent windows 46 and 48 are provided between the logs logs 50 of the shell. These windows are rendered translucent by reason of their roughened surface and lie about 1 inch or less from the circular path of the outer edges of the vanes 22 on the light-reflecting element 20. The result is that, while the outline of the light-reflecting element 20 cannot be clearly seen through the translucent windows 46 and 48, the windows receive and transmit sufficient light from the bulbs 18 and from the rotatable element 20 to make the whole shell glow very brightly with stationary and upwardly moving rays of light. It should of course be understood that, although the fire shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 has two such windows, any
other reasonable number of windows can be provided.
FIG. '9 illustrates a simulated fire with an even more simple form of shell 10. Here the shell takes the form of a part-cylindrical panel of clear synthetic plastic such as polyester resin which has a roughened, brokenup. scratched or scoured surface so as to make it translucent. The curvature of the shell is such that it is roughly concentric to the rotatable light-reflecting element 20, the inner surface of the shell being spaced away from the circular path of the outer edges of the vanes on the element 20 by a distance of between one and three inches. As in the constructions shown in FIGS. 1 8, the outline of the light-reflecting element 20 cannot be clearly seen through the translucent shell. On the other hand, the shell receives and transmits sufficient light from the bulbs 18 and from the element 20 to make the whole shell glow very brightly with stationary and upwardly moving rays of light.
A number of modifications can be made to the simulated fires shown in FIGS. 1 9. Thus, although the flame effect is enhanced by the use of vanes 22 formed of corrugated foil or sheet metal so that each of the teeth is of shallow V or curved section, it may be satisfactory to use flat vanes in some instances. A further modification is for the vanes to be joined together as a result of being cut from a single sheet, an example of this form of construction being shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. Here a thin metal sheet 52 is first folded into a-concertina shape as shown in FIG. 10, and then has parts cut away or punched out over the areas A and B while it is still folded. The sheet is then expanded so as to have a star-shaped cross-section as shown in FIG. 11.
The electric motor 32 which drives the rotatable light-reflecting element 20 will generally be of fixedspeed type. Should it be desirable however in any specific instance for the speed of rotation of the element 20 to be variable, a simple variable-speed drive of the construction shown in FIG. 12 can be used. This consists of a friction sleeve 54 which is movable along the shaft 24 of the element and a friction cone 56 driven by a motor 58. By moving the sleeve 54 along the shaft 24, a wide range of different driving speeds is attainable.
With reference now more particularly to a preferred embodiment shown in FIGS. 1418, the reference character 10 indicates in general a housing or shell having an appearance such as is indicated in FIG. 14 and which may be provided with portions of varying degrees of opacity and translucency. For example, the portions 12' and 14' may be relatively opaque whereas the portions generally indicated by the reference character 16' may be so colored and varied as to translucency as to simulate red glowing portions of the fire whereas discrete portions, as for example indicated by the lines 18', may be provided to indicate and be configured as to simulate logs arranged in the fire.
The shell 10' forms a canopy or closure housing one or more light bulbs indicated by the reference character 20' in FIG. 16 and the reflecting assembly is designated by the reference character 22. As shown in FIG. 15, two such light sources may be provided, each mounted on a suitable socket 24' secured to the upstanding portions 26' of a bracket fixed to the base plate 28, the light sources being horizontally disposed as illustrated and each having its filament portion 30 disposed in front of the reflecting assembly 22' and to overlie the reflecting, masking and reflecting blade 32. This blade may be struck upwardly from the base plate 28' as is indicated more clearly in FIG. 16. The angular disposition of the reflecting blade 32' tends to concentrate a steady glow or reflected light in the lower or base portion of the shell 10' as is indicated in general by the area 34' in FIG. 16.
The reflecting assembly 22' is carried by a pair of stands 26' and 38' and it includes a horizontally disposed shaft 40' rotatably received in such stands and rotated above and behind the light sources 20'. The shaft, as may be seen in FIG. 18, receives a series of sleeves 42, each of which is provided with a series of pegs arranged in sets of three as indicated in FIG. 17 and as illustrated by reference characters 44', 46' and 48 The center peg of each set is provided with a laterally projecting pin 50 and associated with each set of pegs is a blade member 52 in FIG. 17. Each blade may be circumferentially constructed as a thin sheet of highly reflective material such as aluminum and each includes a base portion 54' provided centrally with an aperture 56' and with end wings 58' and 60' and, in addition, an upwardly tapering tip portion 62'. These blades maybe initially flat and each is bent so that the wings 58 and 60 thereof lie on one side of the end pegs 44 and 48' while the center peg 46 lies on the other side of the blade with the aperture 56' receiving the pin 50'. In each case the widths of the base portions 54 are greater than the lengths of the sleeves 52 so that each blade extends beyond its .sleeve as is illustrated in FIG. 18. Thus, each sleeve and its associated blades may be accommodated on the shaft with the wings 58 and 60' of adjacent blades being overlapped. The opposite ends of each sleeve are notched in planes which cross each other but are not perpendicular, i.e. the notches are circumferentially staggered so that each line or row of blades 52' will have a slight twist or helix. In this way, rotation of the shaft from the drive shaft (not shown) and through the flexible coupling sleeve 42" to the shaft 40 will cause rotation of the entire series of blades even though the sleeves 32 are loosely engaged on the shaft 40'.
The shaft with its sleeves and blades is rotated by any suitable electric motor and gear reduction assembly as indicated by the reference character 62' in FIG. so as to rotate in the direction of the arrow 64. Thus, as may be seen in FIG. 16, considering the blade 66 as shown therein, same will, in the position shown, reflect light from the source onto the interior of the shell 10' which will tend to progress upwardly with respect to the shell due to the rotation of the reflecting assembly. However, as the blade 66 rotates toward a position in which it.points toward the light source 20,
its area of reflection will diminish until it disappears at that point. Continued rotation of the assembly will now cause the rear side of the blade 66 ultimately to pick up and reflect the light which once again sweeps from the bottom to the top of the shell first increasing in total reflected area due to the changing angular disposition of the blade and then decreasing in reflected area until the reflection appearing on the interior of the shell 10' fades into nothing. The gaps between blades in any one row and the fact that each row is arranged on a helix enhances this effect inasmuch as they are rotated as an assembly, the reflecting areas of the rows encroach upon and intercept the light from each other, thus enhancing the dancing and natural flickering effects of the flames so simulated.
A back reflector indicated by the reference character 70 may be provided in the form of a plate having an upstanding portion 72' and an angled roof portion74', the back reflector being secured in position by suitable brackets 76 fixed to the stands 36' and 38' as illustrated. The rear side of the shell 10 may be open as indicated by the reference character 78' in FIG. 16 so as to allow effective heat dissipation and the entire assembly may be provided with a base 80' upon which the plate 28' is removably mounted and to which the opposite ends of the shell 10 are secured as by the fasteners 82.
Several aspects of the construction are responsible for the natural flame simulating effect and distinguish the present invention from devices which tend to create an obviously artificial flame simulating effect. First of all, each vane assembly in all forms of the invention is "disposed at an included angle of less than 90 with respect to the vane assembly on either side thereof so that there are simultaneous reflections onto the translucent portions of the shell from any one vane assembly and from at least one other vane assembly, the latter being permitted by virtue of the fact that the stated any one vane assembly presents gaps through which transmitted light may reach an adjacent vane assembly. The next important configuration is the fact that the translucent portions of the shell are at different inclinations relative to each other so that as the reflecting device rotates, the speeds of movement of the reflected light across these different translucent portions have different rates. For example, in FIG. 16, the nearly vertical translucent portion T obviously will be swept very rapidly by the light whereas the nearly horizontal translucent portion T will be swept much more slowly, and so on for various portions throughout the entire body of the shell through which the reflected light may pass.
Additionally, the curvatures or veeing of the vane assemblies, whether they be in the form of separate blades or integral sheets, enhance the randomness of the reflected flame areas. Further, the generally triangular configurations of the reflecting portions of the vane assemblies taken in conjunction with their continually varying angular disposition with respect to the light source causes the reflected light areas to change in size and shape, diminishing as the blade or vane in question nears a position in which it points directly at the light source and then the opposite effect is obtained during subsequent movement of the vane assembly or blade when it moves to the position where it further reflects to a position where it is completely masked by the other vane assemblies and as it approaches a position directly away from the light source.
In the embodiments of FIGS. 14-18, it will be appreciated that although each sleeve 42' carries only three blades, there are six vane assemblies provided by the arrangement shown. This can be seen in FIG. 16 wherein the near blades a, b and c are overlapped by the next successive series of blades d, e and f while the next successive blades effect continuations of the vane assemblies onto blades a, b and c respectively and are designated by reference characters a, b and c. thus, there are six vane assemblies in total and, as can be seen in FIG. 18, successive blades a and a form part of one helical vane assembly are mounted on sleeves separated by an intervening sleeve whereas the intervening sleeve mounts the blades d, e and f.
Further improvements can be made to the simulated fire of the present invention by giving due attention to the character of the source of light and the speed of the motor which drives the rotatable element. Dealing first with the light source, it is evident that the orange or red electric lamps which will normally be used in the fire can be supplemented or replaced by one or more lamps of a different color to give a particular flame effect. For example, a blue bulb can be used in conjunction with one or more orange bulbs to give a blue-flame effect which is a characteristic of many coke fires. Alternatively, one or more of the electric light bulbs can be provided with two or more colors on its surface, say, orange, blue and white. Yet another possibility is to use a white bulb which shines onto certain portions of the vanes which are painted or anodized blue.
As for the speed of the motor, it will normally drive a rotatable element having six vanes at a speed in the region of 20 r.p.m. However, it could be as low as 10 relatively to the rotatable element that there are one or more portions of the shell which lie close (i.e. about one inch or less) to the circular path of the outer edges of the vanes, the said portion or portions of the shell being translucent so as to transmit an appreciable proportion of light from behind the shell. It has been found that the above-mentioned translucent portion or portions of the shell should preferably be made of transparent material which has a roughened, brokenup, scratched or scoured surface which thus renders it translucent.

South Sea Odyssey
Marilynne Paspaley talks to Neos Kosmos about her family's story, her latest business venture, and the eternal lure of Pinctada Maxima
On a June evening in Melbourne, Paspaley's bespoke shop at the 'Paris end' of Collins Street is buzzing. Aproned waiters weave through the crowd with trays of Veuve Cliquot and canapes; the evening's guest presenter Marilynne Paspaley, who knows a thing or two about giving a performance, is about to begin.
The youngest daughter of legendary pearling pioneer Nicholas Paspaley is here to share her insights, not just into one of the great Greek Australian business stories, but what created, and sustains to this day, the success of the Paspaley brand.
Nicholas Paspaley carved out a livelihood in northern Australia that has become part of the story of Australia itself; the young migrant pioneer who became a Master Pearler in search of the most beautiful wild pearls in the world and who later grew those pearls in the pristine waters that he had fished in his youth.
Marilynne obviously still has the same fascination for the pearls that shone so brightly for her father.
"It's called the Pinctada Maxima and it's absolutely magnificent," she says, proudly holding up an example of the large iridescent shell for all to see.
"For two years you have no idea how the pearl is growing inside shell. It's only at harvest time, when you actually take that pearl out of its shell, that you see whether it's been worth it.
"It's a little bit like having children," she adds.
"The pearl is the only gem that is made by a living creature. Every other gem is made by decay, by time, by pressure.
"That's one of the reasons why we find them mesmerising. That is why when you are looking for something you might like, one will speak to you. Not all of them, but one."
Unlike most tellings of her father's story, Marilynne's includes an acknowledgement of the role played by her mother Vivienne in the Paspaley legend - a part Marilynne says she only fully appreciated years later.
"My father had an extraordinary vision, but even his own family thought he was a bit of a dreamer," she says.
"They thought it was impossible, a wild fantasy. My mother came from a comfortable background in Sydney and was the most tremendous support. Every evening, she made sure that everything was just perfect for when he came home, so that he always had a sense of what he had achieved"
Stylish, elegant and full of energy, it was Vivienne Paspaley who enticed architect Harry Seidler to build a new home for the family in Darwin 1958.
Marilynne's later childhood was spent in that house and she has long expressed her admiration for the isolated tropical town that nurtured her and her family's business.
"Growing up [in Darwin] gave me strengths, values and beliefs that I carry with me today in everything I do, no matter where in the world I am," she once told a gathering of Darwin dignitaries.
"School was a melting pot - Australian, Chinese, Greek, Italian, Dutch and Aborigine. No private schools here - everyone in together. Proximity broke down prejudices. Working together built respect."
After her father's death in 1984, Paspaley Pearls was run by her brother Nicholas, now Executive Chairman, and sister Roslynne Bracher.
For twenty years from 1987 Marilynne was Executive Director of Paspaley's retail arm and oversaw the expansion of sales in Australia to new heights.
A former professional actor, she mixed her thespian calling with her business role for a time, until juggling the responsibilities of a young family in the early 1990s made competing careers impossible. The acting skills weren't lost, just reapplied.
"Retail requires honesty and integrity, as does acting," she says. "You always give a better performance if its grounded in something real."
Today she's still a director and shareholder but has no executive role in the Paspaley Group of Companies, the seven business units that continue to propel Paspaley's commercial growth.
In 2009 the torch was handed to a third generation, when Nicholas Paspaley Junior's son James became the Group's Executive Director, with cousins Peter and Michael Bracher, also Executive Directors, overseeing worldwide wholesale distribution.
For the past six years Marilynne's had other fish to fry. Having been honoured with an Order Of Australia in 2008 for her contribution to the marketing and promotion of pearls and Australian designed jewellery, she's ventured out to develop luxury hotels.
Carrying on the connection to the source of her family's fortune - Pinctada Hotels and Resorts (all of which so far, are located in the north of Western Australia) is perhaps Marilynne's boldest venture yet.
Her move into luxury hospitality began in 2007 with the acquisition of an incomplete development in the town of Kununurra in the east Kimberley.
During the same period, Marilynne began the construction of Pinctada Cable Beach Resort and Spa in Broome. Also comprising 72 rooms, Pinctada Cable Beach, completed in 2009, is a full-service hotel and spa, and the first hotel to have been built in Broome in 20 years.
The exclusive 8-room luxury retreat McAlpine House in Broome is the third property under the Pinctada brand.
"The Kimberley is an extraordinary region and I felt it was worthy of a style of hospitality that complemented the nature and uniqueness of the destination," she says.
The hotels have already won numerous prestigious awards. Clearly her move to high-end hospitality is another expression of the Paspaley spirit. "It's very hard to be still," says Marilynne, "it's very hard not to create."
She describes her new role in managing Pinctada Hotels and Resorts as "all consuming", but as a self-confessed workaholic that doesn't worry her in the slightest.
It's grit that creates a pearl, and that's something Marilynne Paspaley's not short of.
*Marilynne Paspaley's Melbourne presentation was organised by Chic Productions/European Women in Business.
Pioneering patriarch - Nicholas Paspaley
In 1919, at four years of age, Nicholas Paspalis left the island of Kastellorizo in a tramp steamer with his family. On arrival in Australia they settled at the ship's first port of call, Cossack in Western Australia.
The Paspalis family were among the few Europeans in the area along with its traditional Aboriginal inhabitants and Japanese pearl divers. Nicholas' father, Theodosis, established a grocery store and bought a share in a pearl lugger, but within five years had died, leaving sons Nicholas and Michael, along with their sister Mary, to pursue their father's fledgling interest in pearling.
At the age of 19, Nicholas was the master of his own lugger, his crew diving for natural pearls and the shell of the Pinctada Maxima pearl-oyster that supplied much of the then insatiable global demand for mother-of-pearl, used in buttons and fashion accessories.
Always looking for greater opportunity, the family moved to Port Hedland and then Broome. But a combination of the worldwide depression of the early 1930s and the war would change Australia's traditional pearling industry forever.
At the outbreak of World War II, the Australian government impounded all pearling luggers in northern Australia, fearing they could be used by the Japanese in an invasion. The industry that had been reliant not just on Japanese divers but Japanese investment and markets would never be the same again.
In 1944 Nicholas married Vivienne Lavinia Barry in Sydney, and two years later took his new bride and their baby Roslynne to Darwin where they established the Paspaley Pearling Company. There he increased his fleet to five ships and became the town's leading pearling master.
The advent of mass-produced plastic buttons by the late 1950s finally put an end to the mother-of-pearl market. As the sea change swept through the pearling industry worldwide, Nick Paspaley turned his attention to the culturing of pearls.
He established the first cultured pearl farm in Australia. Employing Japanese pearl farming methods used to grow the Akoya pearl, the results were at first discouraging.
But through exhaustive tests and research over many seasons, Paspaley and his dedicated team began to hone the art and science of culturing Australia's unique South Sea pearls.
Conditions in northern Australia required a different approach; the delicate silver and gold-lipped pearl-oyster Pinctada Maxima - the largest pearl-oyster in the world - needed to be treated with utmost care for it to grow its exquisite, lustrous pearl.
Paspaley's systems of pearl husbandry involved creating pristine seeding conditions identical to the natural environment, and limiting the oysters' time out of water, achieving higher survival rates and ever larger, more beautiful pearls.
In the 1970s Nick Paspaley Junior, fresh out of Sydney University with an economics degree, joined the family business. Together with his father the company introduced ever more innovative farming and distribution techniques.
Today the Paspaley Group of companies manages 20 pearl farms along a 2,500 km stretch of coastline in northern and western Australia. It operates nine retail stores and a wholesale arm supplies independent retailers and jewellery brands around the world.
In 1982 Nicholas Paspaley Senior was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire for his services to the pearling industry, business and the community. Two years later he died at the age of 71. His wife Vivienne Lavinia Paspaley passed away in 2003 aged 90.
Nicholas Paspaley Junior was awarded The Companion of the Order of Australia in 1999 for his services to Australia's export industry. His sisters Marilynne and Roslynne were made members of The Order of Australia in 2008.

I'm a gravitational-wave astrophysicist
Gravitational waves (GWs) are ripples of space-time travelling at the speed of light originating from some of the most violent processes in the Universe, such as black hole mergers, which have just been detected.
As a gravitational-wave astrophysicist, I study low frequency GWs using Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs), a network of one or more radio telescopes used to regularly monitor a collection of millisecond pulsars. The pulsars beam radio waves to the Earth as they rotate, creating a lighthouse effect. These radio waves have very regular arrival times at the Earth, and deviations from the expected time of arrival could signal the presence of a GW.
The main sources of these GWs in the frequency region monitored by PTAs are supermassive black hole binary systems with masses in the range of millions to billion of solar masses.
If you're ineterested to find out more, check out my guest blog post for Scientific American.

After all the talk of new regulations and ugly noses, it was finally time to see - and hear - the new breed of turbocharged Formula 1 cars on track at Jerez this morning.
AUTOSPORT decided to head out to Dry Sac, the tight right-hander at the end of the back straight. Here, you can see the cars approaching at high speed before braking hard and coming down the (eight-speed) gearbox. They then accelerate away as the drivers head off into the faster Turn 7.
It's cool but dry as the session begins and, encouragingly, one car heads out on track straight away. It's Lewis Hamilton in the new Mercedes.

After decades of searching for relevancy and triumph, the Los Angeles Clippers have found their best shot at franchise success.
With a 111-85 win over the Milwaukee Bucks -- that wasn't as close as the final score depicted -- the Clippers set a franchise record in Los Angeles with nine straight victories. It's not the franchise's all-time record -- the 1974-1975 Buffalo Braves won 11 straight games -- but if the Clippers keep up their impressive brand of basketball, they'll be the record holders soon.
As the San Antonio Spurs and the Memphis Grizzlies are racking up losses and dropping in the standings, the Clippers are ascending in the playoff picture and nipping at the Oklahoma City Thunder's heels.
It wasn't supposed to be this easy. The Clippers weren't supposed to be able to effortlessly dispose of a Milwaukee Bucks team on a four-game winning streak. But they did, and the Clippers are now 9-0 in December with a slew of games against lesser opponents over the rest of the month.
During the Bucks' four-game winning streak, they held all of their opponents to 20 points or fewer in the first quarter. That streak was quickly broken, as the Clippers eclipsed that mark on a Willie Green 3-pointer with 3:33 remaining in the quarter, taking a commanding 22-11 lead and never looking back. There's no better way to sum up the night.
Here are three takeaways from the game:
Quick start
The Clippers' starters have a tendency to get out to lackadaisical starts in the first quarter, which has made a handful of their games against lesser opponents closer than they should be. Instead of falling into bad habits, the Clippers forced the Bucks into low-percentage shots, got out in transition and controlled the glass early. DeAndre Jordan, whose offensive productivity seems to fluctuate game to game, was active from the onset, scoring eight points and looking engaged on both ends of the court.
Lob City in full effect
By sheer virtue of their world-class athleticism, the Clippers tend to amass highlight after highlight. But earlier in the season, it seemed as if some of the magic of "Lob City" had worn off. Ever since their thrashing of the Dallas Mavericks though, the Clippers have gone back to the basics: dunks and alley-oops galore. With Chris Paul seamlessly directing traffic, Jordan had a jaw-dropping tomahawk dunk in transition and Blake Griffin finished a lob on which his eyes were above the rim. The embarrassment became so bad that the Clippers' bench took their gloating down a significant notch.
Defensive dominance
One of the biggest differences from last season's squad compared to now is the Clippers' ability to shut down their opponents. The Bucks sport a below-average offense -- ranking 17th in points per game and 22nd in offensive rating per Hoopdata -- so it wasn't surprising they struggled to score against the Clippers' seventh-ranked defense. Nonetheless, the Clippers held the Bucks to just 36.1 percent shooting, an anemic number that was notably boosted in garbage time. While the lobs and crossovers may get all the attention, the Clippers are winning because of their stellar defense.

Hog Calls:
Gosser's bit role a big hit with mates
Arkansas catcher Alex Gosser tracks a fly ball against Texas A&M during the second inning Friday, May 9, 2014, at Baum Stadium in Fayetteville.
FAYETTEVILLE -- Alex Gosser's 15 minutes of fame elapsed overnight.
Arkansas Razorbacks senior catcher Jake Wise passed concussion protocol and was cleared to play Saturday night's SEC game against the Texas A&M Aggies that Arkansas would win, 7-3 at Baum Stadium.
Gosser was back in the bullpen, warming up Razorbacks relievers, which had been his most active contribution to the 2014 Razorbacks baseball team until he stepped into a starting role on Friday night.
Who knows? Maybe Gosser will do nothing more than catch relievers in the bullpen for the remainder of the season.
Friday night was much different, with Wise not cleared since his May 3 concussion at Ole Miss and backup catcher/regular DH Blake Baxendale sidelined by a pulled hamstring.
Arkansas Coach Dave Van Horn offered Gosser the chance to start Friday's game opening the three-game SEC West series with Texas A&M.
It meant burning his redshirt year, but Gosser of North Little Rock apparently burned to play for Arkansas like only someone does growing up with an Arkansas dream.
"He wants to play," Van Horn said Thursday with the Gosser contingency plan proposed while Wise awaited test results. "He's going to graduate in four years anyway."
Gosser majors in kinesiology, a major often leading to med school or a health care rehabilitation field.
The Razorbacks' catching health needed rehab. Gosser's time had come to rehab it if only for one SEC night.
The dream didn't follow a strict Hollywood script. Gosser went 0 for 4, striking out three times and stranding six runners.
It didn't matter. Jake Wise hits .163 and Arkansas' pitchers still consider him their personal team MVP for his defense and taking charge of the game.
Pitching coach Dave Jorn called the pitches, but other than that, Trey Killian, Friday night's starter, said Gosser took charge.
Killian allowed 2 hits, 1 run, struck out 7 and walk none in 8 innings of a game Arkansas won 3-2. No Aggie stole a base off Gosser. Other than a passed ball, and even Wise suffered one of those Saturday night, no pitch got by Gosser.
He wasn't brought to the postgame interview room along with teammates Killian, Joe Serrano, Clark Eagan and Michael Bernal, but they made sure to mention him.
"I think Gosser should be up here instead of me," said Serrano, who had the game-winning single in the bottom of the ninth.
Sophomore Killian, so comfortable pitching two years to Wise, called Gosser "amazing."
"He was outstanding behind the plate for me," Killian said. "The player of the game probably."
Whether it was the Arkansas crowd all game vociferously pulling as one for the understudy that's one of their own, or his teammates passing the praise on a night they starred, Alex Gosser brought out the Arkansas best of Baum.

Hi If anyone can help, it would be very much appreciate.
I just moved my files from "/wp" to root directory, but I might be missing something since the webpages have a different format and color.
Steps taken
1. Renamed file ".htaccess" file to ".htaccessant" in the root directory since it is also under the "/wp" folder.
2. Copy files from "/wp" directory to root directory
3. Logged into WordPress and on Settings> panel changed the site address field (URI) and site address (URL) removing the "/wp" folder.
4. Created a new data base "xxxx_wp190"
5. Assigned a user to the database "xxxx_wp190"
6. Edited "sql" replacing all "xxxx.com/wp/" to "xxxx.com/"
7. Edited "sql" replacing all "/wp/" to "/"
8. Import "sql" database from previous databse (wp189)
9. Edited "wp.config.php" on root directory replacing all database from 189 to 190 and password "xxxx"
10. In the database table "wp_options" (through phpMyAdmin or similar) updated siteurl removing "/wp".
11. Logged into WordPress and install plug in "Velvet Blues Update "
12. Go to Tool>Update URLs and change old to new directory
13. Checked under Settings>General> Site URL and still had the "/wp", I changed site address again (URL) removing "/wp". Saved changes.
14. Sandbox has also a table "wp_development_options. Changed siteurl removed"/wp"
When checking previous and new pages, the color and format have changed. Any feedback on things I might have done wrong or missing.
