This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 117,003, filed Nov. 14, 1987 one of the same inventors as herein which issued on Aug. 22, 1989 as U.S. Pat. No. 4,859.957.
The invention relates to a magnetic resonance apparatus having a magnet system for generating a steady magnetic field, a coil system for generating gradient fields, an rf transmitter coil and an rf coil system with coils overlapping each other partly for the detection of magnetic resonance signals generated in an object.
Such an apparatus is described in the aforementioned parent application. In the apparatus described therein the restriction is experienced that also when surface coils are used which overlap each other partly in the direction of width for the signal detection the extent of an object to be measured in one series is restricted by the width dimension of each of the coils individually. Measured in the longitudinal direction of the coils an area corresponding to the full width of the coil system can be measured in one series by rapidly switching to a subsequent coil, but cross-sections in the width direction can be composed therefrom only via signal processing in which, for example, a great redundance of measured data has to be stored and the measuring time is thus adversely influenced.
It is the object of the invention to remove this restriction and for that purpose a magnetic resonance apparatus of the type mentioned in the opening paragraph is characterized according to the invention that coils overlapping each other are proportioned so and overlap each other to such an extent that mutual induction therebetween is reduced to a non-disturbing low level.
Since successive coils in the rf coil system according to the invention overlap each other to such an extent that no disturbing mutual induction occurs, the coils are uncoupled and measurement can be carried out with each of the coils activated simultaneously so that measurement can be carried out over the full width of the coil system in one series in a direction over the overlapping area or the direction exceeding the overlapping areas.
In a preferred embodiment coils overlapping each other are constructed as surface coils which are preferably situated in a common plane and of which, for example, one is rigidly connected to a support and a subsequent coil or subsequent coils can be moved with respect to the rigidly connected one until an optimum overlap has been reached after which the coil can be fixed in the said position.
The optimum overlap can be computed for each coil but may also be established empirically. In particular a first coil is rigidly connected to a rigid support and a second coil is rigidly connected to a rigid slide which can be moved in the holder.
In a further preferred embodiment coils overlapping each other are constructed so that in the optimum overlap a minimum of coil conductor overlap occurs as a result of which the capacitive coupling is minimized. In particular one of the coils is at least two times the conductor width shorter than a subsequent coil as a result of which only two crossing overlaps in the conductors occur.
In a further preferred embodiment one or several of the overlapping coils is or are constructed as butterfly coils as a result of which for a given width of a coil system a smaller number of coils will suffice and an automatic uncoupling with the transmitter field is realized. Butterfly coils as such are described in EP-A-8720301.5 corresponding to the aforementioned parent application.
The invention will now be described in greater detail with reference to a few embodiments according to the invention and with reference to a drawing, in which:
FIG. 1 shows a magnetic resonance apparatus equipped with an rf coil system according to the invention,
FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 are preferred embodiments of coil systems and
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a coil having an adjustable overlap.
A magnetic resonance apparatus as shown in FIG. 1 comprises a magnet system 2 for generating a steady uniform magnetic field, a magnet system 4 for generating magnet gradient fields, power supply sources 6 and 8 for the magnet system 2 and the magnet system 4, respectively. A magnet coil 10 for generating an rf magnetic alternating field is connected to an rf source 12. A surface coil 13 is provided for the detection of magnetic resonsnce signals generated by the rf transmitter field in an object to be examined. For reading, the coil 13 is connected to a signal amplifier 14. The signal amplifier 14 is connected to a phase-sensitive rectifier 16 which is connected to a central control device 18. The central control device 18 also controls a modulator 20 for the rf source 12, the supply source 8 for the gradient coils, and a monitor 22 for display. A high frequency oscillator 24 controls the modulator 20 as well as the phase-sensitive rectifier 16 which processes the measured signals. For coupling, if any, there is provided a cooling device 26 which comprises cooling ducts 27. A cooling device of this kind can be constructed as a water cooling system for resistance coils or as a liquid nitrogen or helium dewar system for superconducting coils. The transmitter coil 10 which is arranged within the magnet systems 2 and 4 encloses a measurement space 28 which offers sufficient room for a patient for medical diagnostic measurement. Thus, in the measurement space 28 there can be generated a steady magnetic field, gradient fields for position selection of slices to be imaged, and a spatially uniform rf alternating field. The measurement space is shielded against interference fields by a Faraday cage 29.
In accordance with the invention, within the measurement space 28 there is arranged a cascade of surface coils 32 so that all cross-sections of the object, in as far as covered by the measurement space 28, can be measured with a suitable signal-to-noise ratio without any displacement of the object of coils being required. In a measurement space in which, for example, sufficiently exactly defined gradient fields and a sufficiently spatial uniform transmission field can be generated over a length of 50 cm, measurement can be carried out by means of a cascade of surface coils having a dimension of, for example, 20�20 cm. In a configuration of this kind the coils of the cascade overlap each other in the direction of width. The extent of overlap has been chosen to be so that mutual inductance between the two coils is minimized by it. In practical cases it has been found that this occurs with an overlap of, for example, 4 cm. Using this configuration and measurement method, cross-sections in the longitudinal direction are provided by one and the same coil. This is achieved with at most the additional condition of the ossibility of measurement of a transitional cross-section by two successive coils. Therefore, nothing in the measurement method need be changed in comparison with customary methods, other than a preferably rapid electronic switch over to the next coil which is sychronized with the position of the cross-section to be measured.
A feasible cascade system is diagrammatically shown in FIG. 2 which shows successive coils 32 which overlap each other over a distance b of, for example, 4 cm. In addition to the uncoupling of the measuring coils, during the active period of a transmitter coil as described in EP 164164, the geometry and the overlap ensure that no undesired cross-talk occurs beweeen coils of the cascade. Transversal slices can be measured with an overlap which is not optimized for uncoupling using electronic uncoupling. If the overlap is optimized in this sense, sagittal and coronal slices can also be measured with a sufficient extent by simultaneously using the coils overlapping each other.
FIG. 3 shows a cascade of butterfly coils according to the invention in which two successive coils 32 are arranged so that the desired overlap b occurs for the wings as a result of which the coils are mutually uncoupled.
In a cascade as shown in FIG. 4 signals from coils 31, 33, 35 and 37 overlapping each other differently are used for measuring sagittal or coronal cross-sections by supplying these signals, optionally after pre-amplification, to an rf signal processing device, for signal adding and for supplying a single signal for picture formation to a signal receiver. By adapting the extent of overlap to a minimum mutual coupling, measurement can be carried out with all the coils simultaneously so that the sagittal or coronal image planes can extend over the full width of the cascade, by combining the data obtained from the individual coils, and the advantage of the favourable signal-to-noise ratio for transversal images is maintained. As regards the signal-to-noise ratio the sagittal and coronal images are equal to a single 20�60 cm2 coil.
The coil shown in FIG. 5 comprises a rigid support 40 which can be rigidly mounted to, for example, a patient table or in the magnetic resonance apparatus.
A first coil 42 is rigidly connected to the support 40 and consists, for example, of copper tape 50 having a thickness of 0.1 mm and a width of 5 mm bonded to the support. A second coil 44 is bonded to a rigid slide 46 in a corresponding manner and can be moved in a direction B so that both coils can be made to have an overlap b. By means of a measuring ruler 48, for example, an optimum overlap b once fixed can be established. By means of a clamping device 52 the slide can be fixed in the desired position with respect to the support 40. The slide is preferably constructed so that both coils are situated substantially in one plane but remain electrically insulated.
By making the second coil 44 shorter than the first coil measured in a longitudinal direction L of the coils, or conversely, overlap occurs for the current conductors 50 at the area of crossings 54 so that mutual capacitive coupling is restricted to a negligible minimum.

I purchased this item on January 6th. On January 14th the seller contacted me and apologies for taking so long and said that they'd mail my item the next day. I waited over a week and never received my item. I then contacted the seller to ask them when I could expect my item on January 23rd, 27th and 29th and never received a response. On January 29th I contacted the seller through Etsy and also through their hotmail email address and in both messages asked them for a response by February 1 or I would officially complain to Etsy and ask Paypal to refund the money paid. Only after doing this did the seller send me my item and with the item she included a note saying I would get a full refund as an apology for being over a month late. I contacted her to request the refund and she has yet to provide it. Do not use this seller!!

The National Urban League's National Conference opens Wednesday in Boston. The 101-year-old organization's president, Marc Morial — a former mayor of New Orleans — sat down with The Root in the league's New York offices overlooking the city's waterfront.
A frank, wide-ranging conversation covered the nation's current economic struggles as well as the Urban League's ability to influence President Obama and Congress. "We have less impact on the ultimate course of legislation because of the Tea Party," Morial observed.
Read on to find out what else he had to say.
The Root: At a time when we have an African-American president but African Americans are bearing a heavy economic burden, what do you see as the role of the National Urban League?
Marc Morial: The Urban League today is as important as it's ever been, but in a very, very different way … We served more people in 2010 than at any time in our history. The numbers tell the story. It's a product of the Great Recession.
When times are tough, people look to us for job placement, job training, free after-school services, help staying in their homes. They look to us for our voice; we've been very active this year saying we need a jobs plan.
To some extent I feel I've been a voice in the wilderness while people have been distracted about lots of things. Times have changed, but I really think if the Urban League did not exist, people would be thinking about how to create it.
TR: Twenty, 30 years ago, the issues of African Americans were front-page news. Today they are often far less visible. Some papers don't even print the black unemployment rate when reporting joblessness.

Interview: James Pants, Musical Freak Forever
- April 08, 2011
Interview with James Pants by Gabriele Marino for Italian-language website sentireascoltare.com. James Pants' self-titled third album comes out May 3rd.
James, can you please repeat once again - but maybe for the first time for the Italian public - your incredible American Dream-like story?
Sure. I was a huge fan of Stones Throw for some time. This was around 98-99. The records they were putting out at the time were more on the underground rap end of things. Like Homeliss Derelix, Peanut Butter Wolf, Lootpack, Rasco, etc. Anyways, I saw that PB Wolf was going to be DJing in Austin, Texas (where I lived at the time). I desperately wanted to go, but it was the night of my high-school prom, and I had a date (Cindy Huckabay). So I emailed PBWolf out of the blue by guessing what his email might be (I tried a million permutations), and asked if he wanted to go record shopping. Strangely, he got back to me and agreed. I was so nervous. So after my prom dance, I took my date to his show, where he had already finished playing. We exchanged phone numbers and met up in the following days to go record shopping. A dream come true. We kept in loose touch and I would see Wolf at other shows throughout the years. Towards the end of my university degree, I asked him if I could do an internship, and again, he said yes! I went to LA for a bit and worked in the office. I don't remember much of what I did. I didn't show my own personal music to him. I made friends with one of the designers there, and we swapped some music. I guess it later got into the hands of Wolf, because a year later or so he offered me a record deal. Greatest day of my life.
You imagery is made up of pop and grotesque elements. American suburbia, American lifestyle, soulful music from the 50s and from the 80s - there's something Lynchian in this musical cocktail - kistcherie, plastic toys, etc. You mesh together a pop sensibility and a weird inspiration. So, what are your extra-musical interests?
I think you pegged it. You mean my interests outside of music? I like riding a bicycle. I like record shopping. I like cooking quite a bit (I actually wanted to quit music for a time and become a chef). I'm a big fan of reading books and watching 60s horror/suspense films. I hang out with my wife and 2 year old daughter. She really likes to dance to either 80s boogie, or nursery rhymes. But mainly, I just sit outside and do nothing and drink coffee.
Do you really read Saint John's Apocalypse as preparatory work for your last excellent Seven Seals?
No, but I'm quite versed in all that stuff. My dad is a Presbyterian minister. He is definitely not the Apocalyptic, fire-and-brimstone, snake-handling, send-your-money-to-Jesus type of guy. He's quite cool. But the messed up side of Christianity (and Hell) is definitely a lot more exciting for the imagination (and news) than the real stuff.
Can you describe us your formation as a musician (and as a multi-instrumentalist) and as a record listener? How do you approached music and when? What did you listen to? Have you got any formal musical education?
I've been a music freak forever. My parents bought me a drumset (a cheap, paper-head kind) when I was three and I would play along to Whitney Houston records. I later played the viola for a couple years, and then switched back to drums. I played drums in a jazz context and orchestral context all throughout school. I even did marching band. The whole time, I was in garage bands as well. Sometime in high-school I saw DJ QBert play, and instantly knew I wanted to be a battle DJ. I stopped caring about drums for a while. But I was never any good as a battle DJ. I then got into sampling, making beats, etc, which led me down the path to discover all this crazy music out there. Finally, I feel like I've come full circle where I really enjoy good ol' garage rock, and pop and things again. A lot of the records I used to spit on when I was a "crate-digger" are the ones I enjoy most today.
Tell me more about so-called "fresh beat". It sounds like a juicy lo-fi version of raw hip hop beats, 80's dance, sick new-wave...
I don't make fresh beat. That was some marketing person that came up with that. I just make whatever I feel like that day, whether it be new age, rap, jazz, soul, pop, whatever.
I'll tell you some artists' names and you'll tell me whatever you wanna, whatever you think about 'em. Residents.
The Mole People! I really like The Making Of A Soul off of Not Available. The sax reminds me of some nightmarish exotica band. That's the sound I want.
Frank Zappa.
He's really hit or miss for me. I really like his early stuff like Prunes and Help, I'm a Rock, but some of his later stuff gets too proggish. But I also really like some of his prog stuff like Florentine Pogen. So, yeah, the jury is out.
100% Professional. I saw him make a song start to finish where he played every instrument back to back in like 10 minutes. And the song was good. He's also one of the nicest dudes in showbiz you will ever meet, and no one can hate on those basslines.
Let's go in-deep to the Residents' topic. I can feel a "skin deep" influence of their sounds and voices and as general atmosphere and mood in your music. Particularly an influence of their pop grotesque masterpiece Commercial Album (see All The Hits format and purpose: short jingle-like songs). Is it true? Can you tell me more?
Maybe so. I only have two Residents records, maybe three. It's definitely a band I need to check out more. I really like a lot of what they do musically. I don't always like their vocals.
It seems that you play, record and produce your music all alone, like a true autarchic. The feminine voice on your upcoming album is sampled or it's a real live featuring? And, moreover, have you got a regular band of musicians to play your tunes live?
I definitely work best alone. I find it very hard to collaborate with others. I don't know why. I think I just get nervous, and when I'm alone there are no nerves. On the new record, Lucrecia Dalt sings on a couple songs (whom I met at the Red Bull Music Academy.) All the background female voices were my wife. As far as a band, I have one I play with in Spokane, Washington. They are wicked and all friends from a long time ago, so it's fun. However, I'm in Germany now, so I have to recruit some new 13-year olds to join my band.
Are there any contemporary artists you enjoy specifically? People such FlyLo, Toro Y Moi, Tune-Yards, etc.?
I like Sunn 0))), Flying Lotus, Toro y Moi, Mark Pritchard, Memoryhouse, Ariel Pink, Daedelus, Teen Inc, Broadcast, Bubonic Plague, Ghost Box stuff, Ghostface, Build an Ark, Nissenenmondai, Anika, Beak, Lil B, Felix Kubin, Oneohtrix Point Never, Weedeater, Addison Groove, Kaval, Freddie Gibbs, just a few.

text: Russia John Kerry: Russia Has No 'Easy Track' In Syria By NPR Staff • Oct 16, 2015 Secretary of State John Kerry stepped before a packed auditorium Thursday. He was at Indiana University for the opening of a school of international studies. "I have managed to completely forget that when running for president in 2004, I was crushed in Indiana," he quipped. Kerry was welcomed Thursday as he promoted the Obama administration's recent international agreements, like deals on Pacific trade and Iran's nuclear program. MH17 Findings: Dutch Safety Board Says Russian Buk Missile Took Down Plane By Laura Wagner • Oct 13, 2015 After a 15-month probe, investigators with the Dutch Safety Board have concluded that a Russian Buk missile took down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in eastern Ukraine last year. The crash in July 2014 killed all 298 people on board, most of whom were from the Netherlands. U.S. Says Russian Missiles Intended For Syria Have Crashed In Iran By Eyder Peralta • Oct 8, 2015 Russian cruise missiles that were fired from warships in the Caspian sea and were intended to hit Syrian targets crashed in Iran, instead, a U.S. official tells NPR's Tom Bowman. Tom reports that the missiles landed in a rural area of Iran. Local television, Tom reports, said "that something crashed and exploded near the northern city of Tekab, shattering windows and leaving a large crater." As Russia's Cruise Missiles Strike At Targets In Syria, NATO Stands With Turkey By Bill Chappell • Oct 8, 2015 A day after the Russian navy fired cruise missiles at targets in Syria — and two days after Russia's warplanes veered into Turkey's airspace — NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg says the alliance "is able and ready to defend all allies, including Turkey, against any threat." Russia Begins Airstrikes In Syria After Assad's Request By Bill Chappell • Sep 30, 2015 Updated at 11:20 a.m. ET In a new development that could change the dynamic of Syria's civil war, Russian military began carrying out airstrikes in Syria on Wednesday. Russia says it will target ISIS fighters as part of a plan to fight terrorism. U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby says a Russian official informed the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad about the missions and also requested that American military aircraft avoid Syrian airspace during Russian operations. After U.N. Speeches, Obama And Putin Discuss Syria In 'Business-Like' Meeting By Eyder Peralta • Sep 28, 2015 Updated 9:20 p.m. ET A senior Obama administration official described Monday's 90-minute meeting between President Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin as "productive," though it left several key issues unresolved. The official said it was a "business-like back and forth. I think they worked through a lot of different issues. This was focused." The first half of the meeting focused on Ukraine, while the second centered on Syria. Obama And Putin To Meet One-On-One Next Week In New York By Brakkton Booker • Sep 24, 2015 President Obama is set to have a one-on-one meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin next week at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. It's not clear exactly when the two leaders would meet, but Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the encounter would happen Monday when Putin is scheduled to deliver remarks at the U.N. The White House confirmed the meeting would take place, but did not specify when. According to a senior administration official: Stalin's Ghost By Betsy Kaplan • Jul 14, 2015 Eugene Zelenko / Wikimedia Commons Joseph Stalin's only daughter grew up the beloved pet of a man responsible for a decades-long campaign to arrest, torture, execute or forcibly imprison millions of Soviet citizens, including children and members of his own family. That's what we know now. Sens. McCain and Murphy Meet With Connecticut Ukrainian Community By Ray Hardman • Mar 9, 2015 Sean Scanlon / Office of Sen. Chris Murphy Ukrainian Americans, many with family members still living in the country, packed Hartford's Ukrainian National Home for the town hall meeting about the situation in the Eastern European country. Calls for Investigation Into Nemtsov Killing and End to War in Ukraine By Diane Orson • Mar 2, 2015 Dhārmikatva / Creative Commons A Fairfield University professor is joining international calls for a full and transparent investigation into the killing of Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov. David McFadden is director of the Russian and East European studies program at Fairfield. He said he doesn't believe Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the murder, "but there are plenty of right-wing people close to the regime, or on the fringes of the regime, that wanted him dead because he was a great opposition alternative," he said. Separatists In Ukraine Say They're Pulling Heavy Weapons Back By Bill Chappell • Feb 24, 2015 In a claim that's meeting with skepticism in Kiev, Russian-backed separatists say they've started to withdraw heavy weapons in eastern Ukraine, as required by a recent cease-fire. Ukraine's military says separatist attacks are ongoing. The development comes after Russia's President Vladimir Putin said he thinks a war with Ukraine would be "apocalyptic" — but that the area is now on a path to stability, after the recent Minsk agreement. British Fighter Jets Escort Russian Bombers Away From Coast Of U.K. By Jackie Northam • Feb 19, 2015 British fighter jets scrambled from their base on Wednesday after two Russian long-range bombers skirted the coast of Cornwall, in the southwest of England. The incident comes one day after British Foreign Secretary Michael Fallon warned about Russia's intentions in Europe. Ukraine Withdraws Forces After Fight Over Strategic City By Bill Chappell • Feb 18, 2015 Following heavy shelling in what had been a Ukraine-controlled city, the central government's force is retreating from Debaltseve, a key railroad and transportation hub. Ukraine says it has now withdrawn 80 percent of its armed forces from the city. "I can say now that the Ukrainian armed forces and the National Guard completed an operation on the planned and organized withdrawal of some units from Debaltseve this morning," Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko said, according to the Interfax news agency in Ukraine. Former Senator Joe Lieberman: Send Weapons to Ukraine By Tucker Ives • Feb 12, 2015 Chion Wolf / WNPR Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine have resulted in a cease-fire which is set to begin Sunday. But there's still a long ways to go before a lasting peace can exist between the two countries. Former Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman doesn't think the cease-fire will hold. He told CNN that the U.S. should send weapons to Ukrainian fighters to help counter Russian-backed troops and President Vladamir Putin. "I think if we give them the weapons to defend themselves, it actually raises the prospects that the cease-fire will hold because it creates a little more balance on the ground and creates a bit of a disincentive for Putin and the separatists to keep moving through eastern Ukraine," said Lieberman. Ukraine Cease-Fire Is Reached, Along With $40 Billion Aid Deal By Bill Chappell • Feb 12, 2015 A new cease-fire is set to begin Sunday in eastern Ukraine, in a deal after 16 hours of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. The leaders of France and Germany helped broker the deal, which calls for a buffer zone free of heavy weapons. News of the temporary peace emerged along with a new international aid plan for Ukraine. As has been the case in Ukraine's nearly yearlong conflict with separatists, the new arrangement established by Russia's President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko leaves some important issues unresolved. Sanctions Intensify Russia's Free Fall Into Economic Crisis By Jim Zarroli • Dec 31, 2014 A year ago, Russia's economy was riding high. Today, the country is widely thought to be entering a recession, if it's not already there. The plunge in oil prices has been the main culprit, but Russia's economy has had trouble regaining its footing because of sanctions imposed by the West after the annexation of Crimea. President Obama and other Western leaders were quick to condemn Russia when it annexed the Crimean Peninsula last March, and they struggled to find a way to show their outrage. Yale World Fellow and Putin Opponent Convicted in Russia By Diane Orson & Tucker Ives • Dec 30, 2014 Evgeny Feldman / Wikimedia Commons Updated at 11:36 a.m. A Russian activist with ties to Yale University has received a suspended sentence on fraud charges. Alexei Navalny has become a prominent political opposition leader in Russia, leading protests over the years against President Vladimir Putin. According to the Associated Press, thousands of protestors took to the streets outside the Kremlin in response to the conviction. Navalny was subsequently arrested for breaking the terms of his house arrest and joining the protestors. What It's Like to Be Detained in Russia; Public Confidence in Local Hospitals By Lydia Brown • Dec 1, 2014 Apples and oranges / Creative Commons It's been just over a year since Russian authorities arrested 30 activists aboard Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior III -- a ship protesting Russia's controversial oil rig in the Arctic. Among those arrested was the ship's captain, Peter Willcox, a Greenpeace veteran and resident of Norwalk, Connecticut. G20 Leaders Pledge Growth, Threaten More Sanctions On Russia By Scott Neuman • Nov 16, 2014 President Obama departed the venue of the annual G20 summit in Australia today, declaring it had been a "strong week for American leadership." The gathering wrapped up by promising to fight climate change and work toward boosting economic growth even as leaders made it clear that new sanctions would be imposed on Russia if Moscow doesn't back down in Eastern Ukraine. Pro-Western Parties Sweep Ukraine's Parliamentary Elections By Scott Neuman • Oct 27, 2014 Elections in Ukraine are pointing to a new parliament that will be dominated by pro-Western parties, a result that President Petro Poroshenko is hailing as a "course toward Europe" but one that is likely to further anger Russia. NPR's Corey Flintoff reports from Kiev that exit polls show the bloc supporting Porsohenko is projected to win about 23 percent of the vote, followed closely by an allied party, the People's Front, with around 21 percent. As Oil Prices Fall, Who Wins And Who Loses? By editor • Oct 16, 2014 With oil around $85 a barrel and tumbling to its lowest levels in several years, here's the upside: Gasoline prices are down, the U.S. is feeling less dependent on foreign crude, and serious economic pressure is growing on oil producers such as Iran and Russia. Here's the downside: The low demand for oil reflects a fragile global economy that's vulnerable to additional shocks, like falling stock markets around the world. Microsoft Windows Flaw Let Russian Hackers Spy On NATO, Report Says By Aarti Shahani • Oct 14, 2014 A group of hackers, allegedly from Russia, found a fundamental flaw in Microsoft Windows and exploited it to spy on Western governments, NATO, European energy companies and an academic organization in the United States. That's according to new research from iSight Partners, a Dallas-based cybersecurity firm. Dutch Investigators: MH17 Brought Down By 'High-Energy Objects' By Scott Neuman • Sep 9, 2014 An initial investigation by Dutch experts appears to support the long-held theory of what happened to MH17 over eastern Ukraine: The Malaysian airliner was brought down by multiple "high-energy objects from outside the aircraft." Although the preliminary technical report by the Dutch Safety Board did not directly say the objects were surface-to-air missiles, it left little room to conclude otherwise. Russia Reports Troop Deaths In Ukraine, But Calls Them 'Volunteers' By Corey Flintoff • Sep 8, 2014 Ukraine and the West, including the United States, insist that the Russian army has been fighting in eastern Ukraine, a charge that Russia just as vehemently denies. But reports from Russia now acknowledge that Russian soldiers are part of the battle — though they are claimed to be volunteers, on leave from their army jobs. Critics say the Russian military is ordering soldiers into the fight, and covering up the deaths of those who are killed, in an unacknowledged war on foreign soil. In Ukraine, Cease-Fire Between Government, Separatists Takes Hold By editor • Sep 5, 2014 This post was updated at 1 p.m. ET. The government of Ukraine and pro-Russian separatists in the east say they have stopped fighting, honoring a cease-fire that took effect late Friday afternoon local time. NPR's Corey Flintoff tells our Newscast unit that Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko ordered a cease-fire once separatists agreed to peace talks at a meeting in Belarus. During a televised press conference, Poroshenko said the peace deal was forged based on a phone conversation he had with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Can NATO Find A Way To Contain Russia? By editor • Sep 3, 2014 Ever since the Cold War ended, the armies of NATO and Russia have been moving warily toward each other while their political positions keep moving further apart. Twelve Eastern European countries have joined NATO since the Soviet breakup, and NATO is now on the verge of creating a rapid-reaction force for the region. Russia has sent troops into two former Soviet republics, Ukraine and Georgia, that have relationships with NATO, but not membership. Russia, Ukraine Distance Themselves From News Of A Cease-Fire Deal By editor • Sep 3, 2014 The morning started on a hopeful note: The office of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said that in a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the two had agreed on a "permanent cease-fire." But that was short-lived. As the state-funded Russia Today reports, the Russians quickly pointed out that they had reached no such agreement, because "Russia is not party to Ukraine conflict." NATO To Create New 'Spearhead' Force For Eastern Europe By L. Carol Ritchie • Sep 2, 2014 NATO leaders are expected to set up a rapid-response force to deploy quickly to eastern Europe to defend against potential Russian aggression at their meeting in Wales later this week. The force of about 4,000 troops will be ready to move on 48 hours notice from a station in a member country close to Russia, The New York Times reported. Pro-Russia Rebels Say They Will Settle For Autonomy In Ukraine By editor • Sep 1, 2014 Update at 3:21 p.m. ET Pro-Russia rebels in Ukraine are no longer demanding full independence, telling negotiators in Belarus that they will respect Ukraine's sovereignty in exchange for autonomy. The Associated Press adds: "It's a shift that reflects Moscow's desire to strike a deal at a new round of peace talks — possibly avoiding tougher Western sanctions. The talks follow last week's meeting between the presidents of Russia and Ukraine. Similar talks earlier this summer produced no visible results." White House Says "Continuation," Murphy Says "War" By Tucker Ives • Aug 29, 2014 Chion Wolf / WNPR As the conflict between Ukraine and Russia continues to escalate, Democratic U.S. Senator Chris Murphy wants to call it what it is: a war.

Djubi (pronounced joo-bee) takes the old game of catch to a new level. The game is played with rackets and a unique ball called the Djubi. It comes with two foam Djubi balls that have an integrated elastic band and two rackets, which are essentially mesh pockets. Hook the ball's elastic band to the racket on the integrated hook, pull back, and let it fly. The other player catches the ball in their racket, pulls it out, and flings it back.
This game sort of reminds us of lacrosse meets catch. Djubi is great for outdoor active play in the park, backyard, or beach.
Djubi is for ages 8 and up.
There is also a Djubi Junior game for ages 5 and up.

More than 200,000 ceramic poppies have sold in less than four days as part of an art installation commemorating the First World War at the Tower of London.
The flowers spill out of the Tower onto the lawn outside and will be spreading around the landmark until all 888,246 are "planted" – one for every British or Commonwealth soldier killed.
A spokesman for the Tower of London said the website and phone hotline for sale had been inundated.
"We are absolutely delighted with the response," she added.
"It's such a unique project and it's not like anything we've done before.
"People from all over the world have been showing interest."
The installation, called 'Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red', will culminate on Remembrance Day in November, when all the poppies are expected to have been planted by more than 8,000 volunteers.
"I'm literally trying to represent people because a number is a number, but if you see it all like this it is a visual idea of how many people were there," said Paul Cummins, who created the installation.

Money from the flowers, selling for £25 each, is being shared equally between six service charities, including The Royal British Legion, Combat Stress and Help for Heroes.
The installation has raised more than £5 million already and the total is expected to surpass £19 million as people are also being invited to make donations.
The names of 180 killed servicemen and women are being read out every evening at twilight from Tower Hill in a roll of honour, followed by the Last Post.
General the Lord Dannatt, Constable of the Tower of London, said the commemorations hope to engage people to reflect on Britain's past.
"The First World War was a pivotal moment in our history, claiming the lives of over 16 million people across the globe - its consequences have shaped our modern society," he added.
Once the poppies handmade for the installation run out, no more will be available to purchase.
The Tower's longest-serving Yeoman Warder, Crawford Butler, planted the first poppy on 17 June and members of the Royal Family have also visited the exhibition.

Man on the Run
Paul McCartney in the 1970s
The most famous living rock musician on the planet, Paul McCartney is now regarded as a slightly cosy figure, an (inter)national treasure. Back in the 1970s, however, McCartney cut a very different figure. He was, literally, a man on the run. Desperately trying to escape the shadow of the Beatles, he became an outlaw hippy millionaire, hiding out on his Scottish farmhouse in Kintyre before travelling the world with makeshift bands and barefoot children. It was a time of numerous drug busts and brilliant, banned and occasionally baffling records. For McCartney, it was an edgy, liberating and sometimes frightening period of his life that has largely been forgotten. Man on the Run paints an illuminating picture: from McCartney's nervous breakdown following the Beatles' split through his apparent victimisation by the authorities to the rude awakening of his imprisonment for marijuana possession in Japan in 1980 and the shocking wake-up call of John Lennon's murder. Ultimately, it poses the question: if you were one quarter of the Beatles, could you really outrun your past?

Hotel is about 30 KM from Arlanda Airport and 60 KM from Stockholm, clean but very simple, no washroom and shower in the rooms, there are shared on in the corridor, good to sleep late evening and leave early morning
Great location near the city centre and especially near the fantastic shotluckan bar!
For a Hostel it was very good. A bit pricey though. It was quiet and clean. Right on the edge of downtown area and very near the campus.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of standby options do other airline employees have? Do you get on the flight based on seniority, check in time, fare paid (ID90 vs. ID75), etc? Also, are other airlines allowed to fly in all classes of service? I have heard JAL employees cannot fly in First class. Which airlines still have companion passes and/or domestic partner benefits? Finally, what about the process when flying on company business?
Thanks in advance for the info!

Unofficial Transcript from Oral Argument in Georges v. United Nations, March 1, 2016
Before 2016
Cholera broke out in Haiti in October 2010, and continues to constitute a grave medical emergency. Overwhelming evidence has established that reckless disposal of human waste by a United Nations (UN) peacekeeping base in Mirebalais poisoned Haiti's rivers with a particularly deadly strain of cholera bacteria and created the epidemic. Now, despite even UN Special Envoy to Haiti Bill Clinton's acknowledgment that the UN was the "proximate cause" of the epidemic, the UN continues to refuse to accept responsibility and control cholera in Haiti.
BAI and IJDH represent Haitian victims of cholera in their quest for justice from the UN.
In November 2011, we filed 5,000 claims with the UN, seeking:
A) The installation of a national water and sanitation system that will control the epidemic,
B) Compensation for individual victims of cholera for their losses,
C) A public apology from the United Nations for its wrongful acts
The Cholera Accountability Project (CAP) works with Haitian grassroots groups and international advocates in a broad-based campaign to force the UN to take action to stop the cholera's killing. Diarrheal disease and lack of safe water are the worst public health problems in Haiti. Our case demands the installation of water and sanitation infrastructure that will control the epidemic and save more than 5,000 lives each year.

Horror is a genre that lends itself particularly well to the short film format. Just the merest flash or suggestion of something unusual is often more effective and more insidious than something like a head-spinning girl, or even a hundred of the little darlings.
And the internet is awash with these terrifying miniature gems, so we've picked out a selection of the very scariest.
Don't watch before bed time. Or by yourself. Or with the lights off. Actually, think very seriously before watching any of these at all.
Lights Out
You're just off to bed and you switch out the lights. But wait, did you see something? No. Sure…
Tuck Me In
More unsettling than out right scary, this one's a creepy take on the monster under the bed classic.
He Dies At The End
The clue's in the title, right? Wrong. An almost unbearable build up, involving just a man and a computer, to an ending which is, well, we won't ruin it.
The Smiling Man
A man is out for a late night walk and comes across a smiling man. Nothing scary about that…
One Last Dive
It's short, to the point and may induce cardiac arrest.
A short film so scary that Guillermo del Toro made it into a feature (skip to 0.50 to avoid his intro). Mummy's home…
The Closet
What do people do when they think no one is watching? Pretty horrifying stuff it turns out, especially mum (again).
A woman in bed with her boyfriend gets a call in the middle of the night from her boyfriend. But if he's not there then…
