Here's a selection of some pretty bold (!) neckerchiefs from Scouts UK . When we were in Switzerland I got a good look at, and swapped for some, pretty colorful neckerchiefs. Before you ask the Facebook neckerchief on eBay, and no I do not have the slightest idea about how to find one. You'll pay some pretty high shipping rates but most of thee are available at Scout Shops UK.

Based on multiple experiences, a Scout neckerchief should be big enough to serve as a sling for a broken arm (and, in a pair, to make a belt to hold that sling to the body, as with a broken collarbone). Also, big neckerchiefs make for better improvised doo-rags for head covering.
Most modern neckerchiefs are way too small for the task.

That is why my chart aso includes the size for an ANSI standard triangular bandage.
The image and link to the BSA necker rules are broken. They got rid of the HTML version and now only publish it in PDF. Weird.
A while ago, I researched the various sizes of Scout neckerchiefs. The BSA one's are bigger now, but not as big as they were in the early days of Scouting.
I collected it all here: http://wunderwood.org/most_casual_observer/2010/11/how_big_is_a_scout_neckerchief.html
That page also has links to several sources of neckers. I rather like the offerings from the Canadian company.

My PLC is considering going with neckerchiefs after 2 years of bolos. They kept getting annoyed with me when they would ask me for something to use for Steal the Bacon or a blindfold for Indian Chief and I would say "Well you could use your necker…oh, wait, nevermind…check the equipment shelf for something."
They might just like one of these so much…guess we'll figure out the shipping costs and add that into their budget, LOL!!!
Thanks for sharing these.
Hello all
the Facebook Necker is the one from the 1st Facebook Scout Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/2450689742/members/
and the Neckers and badges can be obtained from http://www.onestopscouting.com/
I think they ship to the UK if not get in touch with me and I will try and sort something for you.
The necker for my 1969 Jamboree troop was a groovy psychedelic print.

No. 5,652,839 and Method of Retrieving and Storing Computer Peripheral Data U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/219,554 by the same inventors as this application.
The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor.
(1) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method for having a controller adapted to function as a network file server for interfacing a plurality of processors through a single Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) initiator disposed within the controller to a plurality of SCSI peripheral devices. More particularly, the process has the controller described in the present invention provide a virtual connection between a plurality of processors, herein referred to as host processors, and a single SCSI initiator located within the controller. When connected to the controller, the plurality of host processors can independently communicate with a plurality of SCSI peripherals or, as defined in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) SCSI specification, target devices through the single SCSI initiator via industry standard or user defined interfaces, protocols, and commands. Target status information is cleared from the target's memory when the initiator requests status. In the present invention the process has this target status information automatically sensed and stored by the controller for every host processor. The prior art system having a method of integrating one initiator within a controller to a plurality of SCSI target devices is replaced with a new and improved system having a method that expands the current protocol arrangement between one SCSI initiator and a plurality of SCSI targets and removes the need to add initiators as the number of host processors increases. When the controller is adapted to function as a network file server whereby a plurality of host processors or workstations are connected in a time shared network arrangement such as a local area network (LAN), all workstations will have access to changes in target status information. Present day network file servers utilizing SCSI targets receive this information but do not make it available to any connecting nodes on the network.
(2) Description of the Prior Art
Many types of peripheral devices can be interfaced to digital computers. For example, mass storage devices are used by computers to store and retrieve information. These devices utilize different types of media such as magnetic tape, magnetic disk, optical disk, or semiconductor memory. Each type of peripheral requires a unique, or device specific, interface. The American National Standards Institute has approved standard X3.131-1986, designated the Small Computer Systems Interface or SCSI-I, that allows a computer system to connect, through a device called an initiator, to a plurality of dissimilar peripheral devices, or SCSI targets, using high level device independent commands. The connection from the computer system to these targets is made through the SCSI initiator. The process has the initiator send commands to targets as defined in the ANSI standard, and the targets respond to these commands. ANSI standard X3.131-1986 permits one initiator to communicate with up to seven physical devices or targets in a time shared arrangement. More than one initiator can be used. However, the total number of initiators and targets cannot exceed eight.
Target status conditions are reported to the requesting initiator and subsequently to the requesting processor which communicates with the initiator. In the prior art, once a target's status is reported from the target through the initiator to the processor, that status information, normally stored in the target's controller, is cleared. If another processor were to connect to the same initiator and request status information on the same target, that information would not be available. Thus, the current system of using one initiator for multiple processors is disadvantageous in that if one processor receives and subsequently clears all target status information, other processors connected to that initiator are unaware of any changes that may have been made in the target's status. The only method available, prior to the present invention, that would retain status information and make it available to a second host processor is to add a second initiator, connect the second processor to the second initiator, and connect the second initiator to the SCSI bus. Since the total number of targets and initiators is limited, adding another initiator decreases the total number of targets that the system can handle.
The current method is particularly disadvantageous when the host processors are connected in a network arrangement and the controller is functioning as a network file server. If there is a change in a target's condition, only the network file server is aware of that new condition and host processors on the network are not notified of that updated status. Adding an initiator for every host processor on the network would solve the problem, but the SCSI limitation on the total number of initiators and targets restricts the number of host processors. Workstations could be added to the network to act as network managers and maintain the status. That configuration would, however, increase the complexity of the network operating system and require additional hardware on the network.
Accordingly, it is a general purpose and object of the present invention to provide an improved method and controller for interfacing a plurality of host processors to a plurality of SCSI target devices through a controller. A more specific object is to maintain the status condition for every SCSI target connected to the controller and provide that status to any requesting host processor connected to the same controller. Another object is to have the controller automatically and non-intrusively interrogate the status of SCSI target devices and maintain that status. Target status is never lost during periods of host processor inactivity. An additional object is that the present inventive method uses only one SCSI initiator.
These objects are accomplished with the present invention by providing a process for operating a system in the following manner. When a host processor issues a command to the controller and the controller receives a CHECK CONDITION status from a target, the controller will automatically interrogate the status of the requested target device and store that status for all host processors. When target status is requested and sent to a host processor, the controller clears its memory of that status for the requesting host processor from the requested target. In addition, the controller non-intrusively interrogates the SCSI targets, allowing multiple changes in the SCSI's target's condition to be stored for access by any connected host processor. As additional host processors are added to the network, the number of SCSI initiators does not have to be changed; a single SCSI initiator is all that is needed. Each processor can request and subsequently receive target status information independently of the other processors using the same initiator.
The controller, described in the present invention, is typically a personal computer (PC), a workstation, or any type of embedded controller comprised of a removable host adapter that provides the interface to the host processors. The host processors can be connected to the controller in any of a plurality of interface and protocol arrangements.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention and the advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following description of the preferred embodiment taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an SCSI controller connected to external host processors and SCSI target devices in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the arrangement of the memory within the controller of FIG. 1;
FIGS. 3A and 3B together comprise a flow chart depicting the operation of the controller of FIG. 1 when one of the host processors issues a command to the controller; and
FIG. 4 depicts a flow chart of the performance monitoring (PM) routine that the controller of FIG. 1 executes.
Refer now to the drawing of FIG. 1 for a general description of the operation of the network file server and the components required to carry out its operation. A more detailed description is given later on with reference to the remaining figures. In all figures, identical components within the system carry identical numerals and letters. However, if a component in one figure is represented in other figures by various components, then different markings are used to denote each component not shown in the one figure.
FIG. 1 shows an SCSI controller 10 comprised of a host adapter 12, a microprocessor 14, memory 16, and an SCSI initiator 18. All of these elements are electrically and logically connected using internal bus 19. Controller 10 has network interface means 20 connected to host adapter 12. Network interface means 20 connects to host processors 22a-n using local area network interface 11. SCSI targets 24a-g connect to the SCSI initiator 18 of controller 10 by means of SCSI bus 26.
Host adapter 12 is typically a printed circuit card that functions as a local area network controller. LAN controller cards are available for standard network interfaces such as Ethernet, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), and Safenet.
Microprocessor 14 is any commercially available microprocessor or microcontroller utilizing 8, 16, 32, or any other number of bits for a data path. In a typical embodiment, microprocessor 14 is a standard microprocessor used with personal computers such as the INTEL 80386 or 80486. Typically, controller 10 is a commercially available personal computer (PC) with expansion slots for accommodating external devices. The personal computer uses an industry standard operating system, such as DOS, and executes industry standard network management and file server software.
SCSI initiator 18 is an off-the-shelf commercially available integrated circuit (IC) such as the Fujitsu MB7030 or an SCSI printed circuit card. SCSI initiator cards typically are purchased with interface software so that the card, once inserted into a personal computer, can operate without the operator having to develop any unique software. This is typically the case when the personal computer is configured as a file server in a local area network (LAN) topology that services a plurality of host processors.
Memory 16, as best shown in FIG. 2, represents a combination of static and dynamic Random Access Memory (RAM) and Read Only Memory (ROM) widely available to the public. The flow charts shown in FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 4 are operational sequences that can be either down loaded externally from an SCSI target and executed from RAM or permanently stored in ROM and executed from ROM or RAM. In any case, memory 16 represents the function that stores the program 27 and microprocessor 14 (FIG. 1) represents the function that executes the program 27.
FIG. 2 also shows that for each host processor 22a-n of FIG. 1 there is the storage of ATTENTION DATA for each target 24a-g of FIG. 1. The addresses for each host processor are shown as 28a-n. The information for each address is identical and is shown as 29. Memory 16 also shows target PM DATA 31a-g for each target 24a-g.
Refer again to FIG. 1. The normal operation of the various components within controller 10 is well documented by the prior art. Personal computers, workstations, and embedded controllers configured to function as network file servers are widely used by the public and the various operational sequences that control their internal components are executed by commercially available software packages. The specific embodiment herein describes how a personal computer, workstation, or embedded controller can be adapted to function as a network file server executing industry standard transport protocols and interface to a plurality of host processors logically connected to one SCSI initiator with up to seven SCSI target devices. The flow chart shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B is an operational sequence that controller 10 executes when any of the host processors 22a-n issues a command packet over network interface 11 through controller 10 to any of the SCSI targets 24a-g. The flow chart shown in FIG. 4 is the operational sequence when the controller non-intrusively executes an internal PM routine that detects a CHECK CONDITION status.
The CHECK CONDITION status can be detected by the internal PM routine or by an initiated command of one of the host processors 22a-n. Both operational sequences shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, and FIG. 4 are software tasks that are interrupt driven due to a specific event. The PM routine shown in FIG. 4 is a task that is executed periodically whenever an internal software timer generates an interrupt and schedules this task to be loaded into microprocessor 14. This task has a lower priority than the task shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B. When a host processor issues a command through network interface 11 to controller 10, however, microprocessor 14 responds to this command by storing all reference data on its stack and executing the software task shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B. This task must have a higher priority than the PM task since controller 10 must always be available to respond to a command by an external host processor.
Before the flow charts in FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 4 are described, a brief description of an SCSI UNIT ATTENTION condition is given. SCSI is an intelligent protocol whereby bus sequences and target/initiator conditions are monitored. There are a number of conditions designated as UNIT ATTENTION. It will be described using target 24a although it is to be understood it is the same for all targets 24a-g. These UNIT ATTENTION conditions exist when the controller 10 of an SCSI target 24a is reset, power to a target 24a is cycled from OFF to ON or from ON to OFF to ON, or media has been removed and replaced within the internal controller of target 24a. The last situation is typical of optical disks that can be removed from a disk controller without having to cycle power OFF and ON. Whenever one of these conditions occurs, if the SCSI initiator 18 sends a command to the SCSI target 24a, the internal controller of the target 24a responds with a CHECK CONDITION status. This status informs the requesting initiator 18 that a condition exists with the target 24a that may be of interest to the initiator 18. The initiator 18, at this point, can ignore the CHECK CONDITION status and reissue the command. Since the situation is a UNIT ATTENTION condition, the CHECK CONDITION is cleared and the target 24a processes the reissued command in the normal fashion. If the initiator 18 does not want to ignore the CHECK CONDITION status, it can issue an SCSI REQUEST SENSE command to the target. The internal controller of the target 24a then responds with SENSE DATA. This SENSE DATA contains a key that indicates whether the CHECK CONDITION status originally returned to the initiator 18 was due to a UNIT ATTENTION condition or some other condition. The embodiment described herein is concerned with all check condition statuses.
Refer again to FIG. 1 for a description of the operational sequence that transpires when one of the SCSI target devices 24a-g is in a UNIT ATTENTION condition. Host processor 22a, and SCSI target 24a are referenced in the following sequence. However, the sequence is applicable to all processors 22a-n and targets 24a-g shown in FIG. 1.
Host processor 22a first establishes a socket connection with controller 10. The socket connection is a logical link between two devices and provides a software bridge between transport protocol software and application software. Network protocols and interfaces are defined by the Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) seven layer model and typically employ the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) which guarantees a reliable data stream between communication nodes. The advantage to using socket connections and TCP/IP is to provide a transparent and reliable connection between application code and the network interface. Once application code is written for a host processor, that code can be used with any physical network such as Ethernet, FDDI, etc. that employs socket connections. The same principle holds for the application code written for controller 10. This code, functionally shown in FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 4, is logically linked to the physical network in controller 10 using socket connections. When a host processor 22a connected to network 11 sends a command to controller 10, the application code running in both devices communicates through sockets. The use of sockets as a logical communication connection between two or more nodes is assumed for all references to commands and responses stated throughout this disclosure. Once a socket connection is established between the host processor 22a and the controller 10, command data packets are sent from the application code in the host processor 22a to the socket interface in the host processor 22a to the socket interface in the controller 10 to the application code in the controller 10. Responses are sent from the controller 10 to the host processor 22a in the reverse sequence.
Host processor 22a establishes a socket connection and issues a command packet over network interface 11 and interface connection 20 to host adapter 12. Microprocessor 14, sensing either by polling host adapter 12 or receiving an interrupt signal from host adapter 12, reads that command from host adapter 12. Microprocessor 14 verifies that host processor 22a sent a valid command and passes this command to SCSI initiator 18. SCSI initiator 18 selects the designated SCSI target 24a, using the selection protocol defined by the ANSI SCSI standard. Once the target 24a is selected, the command is passed to it. It should be mentioned that once the command packet is received by microprocessor 14, the application code in controller 10 is informed of this received packet through the socket interface in controller 10. The application code sees only the command packet sent from the application code in host processor 22a. The network physical, data link, network, and other layers in the seven layer OSI model are transparent to both application codes in host processor 22a and controller 10. In other words, the application layer in host processor 22a communicates directly with the application layer in controller 10. When host processor 22a sends its command packet to its socket interface, the network, data link, and physical layers in host processor 22a add information to the packet. When the packet is received at the physical layer of controller 10, this added information is stripped by the layers as the packet moves up through the seven layer OSI software model in controller 10. When the packet is successfully transported from host processor 22a to controller 10, the socket interface in controller 10 informs the application code in the controller 10 that a packet has been successfully transmitted. At this point, microprocessor 14 receives the packet and begins the sequence previously described in selecting an SCSI target.
SCSI target 24a, having received a command from SCSI initiator 18 is in a UNIT ATTENTION condition and responds to SCSI initiator 18 with a CHECK CONDITION status. This status is read and recognized by microprocessor 14. Microprocessor 14 then automatically issues an SCSI REQUEST SENSE command to SCSI initiator 18 that in turn issues the command to SCSI target 24a. SCSI target 24a contains an internal embedded SCSI controller characteristic of peripheral devices with an SCSI interface. The internal controller, disposed within SCSI target 24a, contains the SENSE DATA that describes the nature of the CHECK CONDITION status.
Initiator 18 then receives the SENSE DATA from SCSI target 24a. Microprocessor 14 reads this SENSE DATA and checks a unique bit field designated the sense key. This bit field consists of four bits. If the bit pattern is a six hexadecimal, it indicates that a UNIT ATTENTION condition has occurred. If the bit pattern is something other than six, then a fault or failure may exist within SCSI target 24a.
Controller 10, in addition to responding to commands from an external host processor, periodically executes a lower priority software task herein referred to as a PM or performance monitoring task. When controller 10 is not processing commands, it is executing this PM task that non-intrusively detects the status of all connected SCSI targets. If a CHECK CONDITION is returned from a SCSI target, then controller 10 issues the REQUEST SENSE command to the target to retrieve its SENSE DATA. FIG. 4 is the flow chart depicting the operation of the PM task and FIGS. 3A and 3b together comprise the flow chart depicting the operation of controller 10 when a command is received from a host processor. Both of these tasks are described later on.
Refer additionally to FIG. 2. Controller 10, having detected a UNIT ATTENTION condition at SCSI target 24a, stores this SENSE DATA for all host processors 22a-n connected to controller 10. Controller 10 maintains SENSE DATA of all SCSI targets 24a-g and for all host processors 22a-n. SENSE DATA received from SCSI targets 24a-g is stored in memory 16, in respective locations 28a-n, and is normally referred to as ATTENTION DATA in this disclosure. If the sense key indicates a fault or failure, then the SENSE DATA received from the SCSI targets 24a-g is stored in respective locations 31a-g in memory 16 and referred to as PM DATA in this disclosure.
Refer now additionally to FIGS. 3A and 3B. At task box 30 a command is received from host processor 22a for selected SCSI target 24a. The controller 10 at decision box 32 checks its memory 16 to see if ATTENTION DATA is present at the appropriate address. This ATTENTION DATA would be present at the above appropriate address in memory 16 if a previous command received from one or more of host processors 22a-n for SCSI target 24a resulted in a CHECK CONDITION status and the ATTENTION DATA had not been cleared. If memory 16 within controller 10, at the appropriate address, does contain ATTENTION DATA, controller 10 determines if the received command is a REQUEST ATTENTION DATA command at decision box 34. If it is, then at task box 36 controller 10 returns the ATTENTION DATA from memory 16 to host processor 22a using microprocessor 14. Once the ATTENTION DATA has been returned to the requesting host processor 22a, controller 10 clears the ATTENTION DATA at the appropriate address in memory 16 for the requesting host processor 22a at task box 38. No other addresses containing ATTENTION DATA within memory 16 are cleared by the action at task box 38.
If controller 10 does contain ATTENTION DATA at decision box 32, but the command received from host processor 22a is not REQUEST ATTENTION DATA at decision box 34, then controller 10 determines, at decision box 40, whether an ATTENTION WARNING was given to host processor 22a. The ATTENTION WARNING is a warning message sent from controller 10 to requesting host processor 22a indicating that controller 10 contains ATTENTION DATA in memory 16 at the address receiving ATTENTION DATA from SCSI target 24a for host processor 22a. If the warning was previously given and the command is not REQUEST ATTENTION DATA, then at task box 42 controller 10 clears the ATTENTION DATA at the address in memory 16 receiving ATTENTION DATA from SCSI target 24a for host processor 22a. If the ATTENTION WARNING was not provided to the requesting host processor 22a, then at task box 44 the warning is sent from controller 10 to the host processor 22a. At this point in the sequence, the host processor 22a can reissue the original command or send a REQUEST ATTENTION DATA command. If the reissued command is not REQUEST ATTENTION DATA, then all ATTENTION DATA stored in memory 16 is cleared at the address for that host processor 22a concerning the selected SCSI target 24a. The sequence is through boxes 30, 32, 34, 40, and 42. If the reissued command is REQUEST ATTENTION DATA, then the ATTENTION DATA is sent to the requesting host processor 22a and the ATTENTION DATA stored in the address at memory 16 for that host processor 22a and SCSI target 24a is cleared. The sequence is through boxes 30, 32, 34, 36, and 38.
When controller 10 receives a command from host processor at task box 30 and does not contain ATTENTION DATA at decision box 32, or the above sequence through boxes 30, 32, 34, 40, and 42 has taken place, controller 10 checks if the received command is a PM REQUEST at decision box 43. If it is, then any PM DATA stored at the appropriate address in memory 16 is returned to the requesting host processor 22a at task box 45.
If the received command is not a PM Request at decision box 43 controller 10 translates the received command into an SCSI command at task box 46 and sends it to SCSI initiator 18. SCSI initiator 18 interprets the SCSI command and selects the SCSI target 24a specified in the received command. SCSI initiator 18 then issues this command, at task box 48, to the selected SCSI target 24a and subsequently receives a response from the target 24a at task box 50. If at decision box 52 the response is a CHECK CONDITION, then controller 10 issues an SCSI REQUEST SENSE command to the selected SCSI target 24a at task box 54. The SENSE DATA is received by the initiator 18 from the SCSI target 24a at task box 56 and is read by controller 10 at decision box 58 to determine if the sense key is a six hexadecimal. If it is, then the received SENSE DATA is stored in memory 16 for every host processor 22a-n connected to controller 10 at task box 60 and an ATTENTION WARNING is sent to host processor 22a at task box 62 to complete the program. If the sense key is not a six hexadecimal, then an error message is sent to host processor 22a, at task box 64. This indicates that the SENSE DATA received from the SCSI target 24a in this case is not UNIT ATTENTION DATA but PM DATA. The PM DATA, along with the SCSI status from SCSI target 24a is stored in memory 16 at task box 68 to complete the program.
Decision box 52 can also render a response that is not a CHECK CONDITION. In such a case, the response is returned to host processor 22a at task box 66 to complete the program.
Refer now additionally to FIG. 4. Microprocessor 14 periodically executes the software task shown in FIG. 4 in order to detect a CHECK CONDITION status from any of the SCSI target devices 24a-g.
An SCSI command, TEST UNIT READY is issued from SCSI initiator 18 to SCSI target 24a at task box 70. This is a standard SCSI command that does not return data from SCSI target 24a. Only the SCSI STATUS WORD should be returned from the selected target 24a at decision box 72. If the STATUS WORD is not returned, then an error message is generated at task box 74 by microprocessor 14 and stored in memory 16 as PM DATA at task box 92. A reason for a STATUS WORD not returning from SCSI target 24a could be a fault or failure existing within the controller of the SCSI target 24a.
If a STATUS WORD is returned from the target 24a, then microprocessor 14 verifies if the status is CHECK CONDITION at decision box 76. If it is, then microprocessor 14, using SCSI initiator 18, issues a REQUEST SENSE command to the selected target 24a at task box 78. The SENSE DATA returned from target 24a, at task box 80, is read to determine if the SENSE KEY indicates a UNIT ATTENTION condition at decision box 82. If this condition exists, then the SENSE DATA received is stored in memory 16 as ATTENTION DATA at task box 84. If the SENSE KEY does not indicate a UNIT ATTENTION, then the data and status received are stored as PM DATA in memory 16 and made available for all host processors 22a-n, at task box 86. This PM DATA is replaced by new PM DATA on the next execution of the PM task. If the STATUS WORD returned from the target 24a is not CHECK CONDITION then the STATUS is checked to determine if it is GOOD at task box 88. If it is, then the selected SCSI target 24a is assumed to be good and microprocessor 14 verifies if all SCSI targets 24a-g have been checked at decision box 90. If the STATUS WORD does not indicate GOOD, then this STATUS is stored as PM DATA in memory 16 at task box 92. Following the determination that the status is GOOD at decision box 88 or the storing of data at task box 84, 86, or 92 the decision box 90 determines if all SCSI targets 24a-g have been checked. The program then repeats the complete sequence of FIG. 4 for any targets that have not been checked.
Briefly, some of the features of the operation of FIG. 4 are that if a CHECK CONDITION status is returned from one of the SCSI targets 24a, the REQUEST SENSE command is issued to the target 24a. If the SENSE KEY indicates a UNIT ATTENTION, then the SENSE DATA returned is stored as ATTENTION DATA. If the SENSE KEY does not indicate UNIT ATTENTION, then the SENSE DATA retrieved is stored as PM DATA. If the STATUS WORD is not CHECK CONDITION but indicates a condition that is not GOOD, then the STATUS WORD is stored in memory 16 as PM DATA.
There has therefore been described a method of having a microprocessor 14 based network file server for use with SCSI peripherals 24a-g that periodically non-intrusively detects an SCSI CHECK CONDITION status from all selected SCSI targets 24a-g and also processes commands and responses between host processors 22a-n and a selected target such as 24a. The controller 10, upon receiving the CHECK CONDITION status automatically issues a REQUEST SENSE command to the selected SCSI target 24a. The SENSE DATA received from the SCSI target 24a is checked to determine if a UNIT ATTENTION condition exists. If it does, then the received SENSE DATA is stored as ATTENTION DATA for all host processors 22a-n connected to the controller 10. If a UNIT ATTENTION does not exist but a fault or failure does, the controller stores the received data as PM DATA. The PM DATA is stored and made available to all host processors 22a-n. This PM DATA is replaced with new PM DATA in the next PM cycle. The REQUEST SENSE command, in accordance with the SCSI protocol, clears all SENSE DATA in the selected SCSI target 24a after that data is sent to the controller 10. This clearing of SENSE DATA, in prior art devices, meant that the SENSE DATA was only available for one of the host processors 22a-n. The invention described herein removes that limitation by storing the SENSE DATA for all host processors 22a-n in memory 16 whenever a UNIT ATTENTION condition exists. The invention also allows connected host processors 22a-n to be idle for long periods of time since the internal performance monitoring task detects and stores all changes in the condition of all SCSI targets 24a-g.
It will be understood that various changes in the details, materials, steps and arrangement of parts, which have been herein described and illustrated in order to explain the nature of the invention, may be made by those skilled in the art within the principle and scope of the invention as expressed in the appended claims.

Nutritional information seems awash with conflicting and contradictory messages, so it can be comforting to cling to advice that appears constant. One concept on which the nutritional cognoscenti are united is the value of eating a diet rich in fibre. With this in mind, we are encouraged to eat wholegrains such as wholemeal bread and brown rice in preference to their refined counterparts. Most of us are only too aware that opting for wholegrain foods helps promote regular action in the bowel department. However, what is less well known is that these roughage-packed foods appear to protect against conditions such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes, too. The evidence suggests that the benefits bestowed by fibre don't simply end up going down the toilet.
Grains such as wheat and rice are made up of three basic components: a soft inner part known as the endosperm and two fibrous outer parts termed the germ and bran. During refining, the germ and the bran, and hence a good proportion of the grain's fibre content, is lost. But that is not the only nutritional downside associated with the refining process. The removal of fibre speeds the rate at which a grain releases sugar into the bloodstream, and this may have important implications for long-term health, too.
Generally speaking, the more rapidly sugar is liberated into the bloodstream from food, the more insulin the body secretes to compensate. While we need insulin to keep us alive, too much can be a bad thing. Insulin tends to stimulate the production of potentially harmful blood fats such as cholesterol. A tendency to over-secrete insulin is an important contributory factor in the development of heart disease. Plus, the more insulin we secrete, the more likely we are to become numb to its effects in time. This is believed to be the main driving force behind the development of the most common form of diabetes.
Another unwanted effect of the refining process is that it may leave the grain somewhat bereft of several key nutrients including folic acid, vitamins E, B1, B5 and B6, and the minerals iron, zinc, magnesium, selenium and copper. Some of these nutrients, notably folic acid, vitamin B6 and magnesium, are thought to offer some protection from heart disease. Others, such as selenium and vitamin E, appear to help ward off cancer. Any loss of these nutrients during processing can only detract from a grain's disease-protective effects.
Wholegrains offer significant nutritional advantages over their refined versions, and these translate into good, hard benefits in terms of disease protection. Just last month, research showed that men eating plenty of wholegrains were half as likely to develop diabetes than those opting for refined fare. Several studies show that eating more wholegrains may reduce the risk of heart disease by a third. Other research suggests that eating four servings of wholegrain foods a week may reduce cancer risk by 40 per cent.
The science shows that wholegrain foods have the potential to keep us going, in every sense of the word.
Nutrition news
Products made from soya are believed to help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. One beneficial effect of soya-based foods is that they help reduce cholesterol levels. However, new research suggests that they might help affect another risk factor for these conditions - high blood pressure - too.
In a study published in the Journal of Nutrition , researchers gave men and women a litre of either soya or cow's milk each day over a three-month period. Those on cow's milk saw a modest average reduction in blood pressure of 3 standard units (mmHg). In contrast, individuals drinking soya milk saw a reduction in blood pressure of almost 17 mmHg. This research suggests that opting for soya milk instead of the animal-derived variety might be a simple way to help control high blood pressure.
Dear John
I suffer from dry skin. I moisturise twice a day, but still my skin seems to want more. I'm wondering whether I might be lacking something in my diet. Any ideas?
Siobhan Peskin, Bristol
The health of the skin is to a degree affected by the supply of certain nutrients. Skin moisture seems to be especially dependent on the presence in the diet of healthy fats known as essentially fatty acids (EFAs). EFA-rich foods include extra-virgin olive oil, nuts and seeds, oily fish and nuts. Including plenty of these in your diet may help to keep your skin moist from within, and is likely to reduce your need to resort to lotions.
For speedier results, flaxseed (linseed) oil (rich in omega-3 fats similar to those found in oily fish) is useful for helping to return moisture to the skin. Taking 1tbsp per day, you can expect to see results within a few weeks. In the body, EFAs can be subject to oxidation, thought to reduce their health- giving potential. Taking vitamin E is known to help protect EFAs from oxidation, so take 250 to 500mg of this nutrient a day as well. As an added bonus, vitamin E is also thought to contribute to the health of the skin.

Who are we?
Artifaqs aims to bring your history classroom alive in a way which is both fun and academically rigorous. The artefacts we feature have been suggested, tried and tested by teachers. Each product comes with a worksheet and/or suggestions for use to make history lessons easier to prepare. It's such an easy way to teach interesting history lessons.
Ian Dawson of thinking history had this to say: "I've lost count of the number of teachers who've asked where they can get a crown or other artefacts that will sharpen students' concentration and enthusiasm. Therefore Cate Aspinall's Artifaqs is a great idea and all the better for being the work of an experienced teacher with a strong sense of what will help students learn more effectively."
Historian Ben Walsh said this: "From my own teaching experience there is always an expectant hush when something 'real' from the past emerges, whether it be a clay pipe, a military cap badge or a newspaper. Artifaqs takes this on a level, with bespoke artefacts which will help teachers to 'plan in' awe, intrigue, or even cheesy fun."
We have sorted our artefacts in two ways. Firstly by Time Period, which should make KS3 history resources easier to locate and secondly by Theme, to help you find artefacts to make KS4 history lessons more interesting and memorable. If you're stuck for teaching history ideas, check out our packs which have been put together to make starting with artefacts even easier.
If there is something you need your school to buy just contact us to arrange a credit limit or send us a Purchase Order.
To keep up to date with our latest products, offers and history lesson ideas just sign up for our newsletter and browse our community to connect with other teachers who are just as passionate as you.
Once you start using artefacts to teach history in your classroom, your school history lessons will never be the same again.

|Re: [general] removing people names from sources
|Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:48:12 GMT
Hi, sorry for being different here. I strongly object to remove author names without any reason, although I don't mind removing myself's name. They put the names in their original code for their own reasons, it's not other people's right to remove their names without any reason. We should respect the original authors. If they put their names there, let's leave them there until people contributing to the same files decide to remove them. Yes, the software is community work, but it doesn't mean that to keep some authors' names contradicts this spirit. On the contrary, I believe a community with individual respect is more healthful. We should leave the choice to the invidual contributors. I personally don't see any negative effect with authors' names in the source files. To have long list of author names in the file header is not very beautiful, but that's the contributors' own decision. If you are also a contributor to same file and you feel it's stupid, you can assume your own responsibility to beautify it. You can decide to remove the author name list.

At the Sundance Film Festival Awards ceremony on Saturday, director John Cooper broke down in tears. Why? Because it was such a damned fine festival, where so many filmmakers were discovered and lauded. We are in a sweet zone for indie cinema, and Sundance helped to make that so.
One of the tortures for many of us attending was simply not being able to see as many films as we would like. You catch the stream and see what you see and interview who you want to and in the end you take your slice. There is no other way to roll. You can't see everything. Rodrigo Perez of The Playlist wondered why anyone would go to a party when they could see another movie. But the fest is many things to many people. I wouldn't have missed the IMDb dinner with Col Needham, Lucy Walker, Lynn Shelton and others–during the course of many revelations about our favorite films over the years, Shelton got the news from her producer that her film "Touchy Feely" had gotten some offers. They hugged. Sundance is also about getting to know people better. Sharing the love.
The awards Sunday night went to a broad smattering of global dramas and documentaries. Here's the ceremony, charmingly hosted by Sundance regular Joseph Gordon-Levitt (@hitRECordJoe), who sold his directorial debut "Don Jon's Addiction" at the fest. The full list of winners is below.
Tom Rothman, ex-co-chairman of Twentieth Century Fox and founder of Fox Searchlight, gave the Grand Jury Dramatic Prize to Ryan Coogler for "Fruitvale," his second of the night, as he also won the U.S. Dramatic audience award, "for its skillful realization and devastating emotional impact and moral and social urgency," he said. (Here's our review.)
"When I first wrote this project it was about humanity," said an overwhelmed Coogler, "how we treat each other. To get this award meant that it had a profound impact on the audience. This goes back to my home the Bay Area where Oscar Grant lived, breathed and survived for 22 years." (Weinstein Co. acquired the film.)
The Waldo Salt screenwriting award, for its "laugh-out-loud comedic moments and shrewd social commentary" went to actress-turned-writer-director Lake Bell for "In a World." "Thank you Sundance for giving me the encouragement to have the balls to do this," she said. (Here's Indiewire's interview, and The Playlist's review.)
The directing award for U.S. documentary went to a movie about the complex nature of love and art, "Cutie and the Boxer," about married Japanese artists. Director Zachary Heinzerling admitted that the film was funded "purely on grants." (Radius-TWC acquired the film.)
The directing award, "for its deft balance of tone and ensemble performances," said juror Edward Burns, went to Jill Solloway of "Afternoon Delight," one of two award-winners produced by Jen Chaiken and Sebastian Dungan, who also produced cinematorgaphy winner "Ain't Them Bodies Saints." Solloway cited her fellow Sundance women filmmakers, saying, "we crossed the street together holding hands." (Here's Indiewire's review.)
Juror Rodrigo Prieto cited the naturalistic lighting in giving the cinematography prize to Sundance standout Bradford Young for two fims, "Ain't Them Bodies Saints" and "Mother of George." Both directors came up to accept the award on his behalf and said "Thank you, Bradford." (Here's our review of "Ain't Them Bodies Saints," which was acquired by IFC FIlms; Oscilloscope picked up "Mother of George.")
The editing prize for a U.S. doc went to Matthew Hamachek for HBO's "Gideon's Army"; it was his second editing award at Sundance.
Steve Hoover's "Blood Brother" took home the U.S. Grand Jury Prize as well as the US doc competition audience award. Juror Davis Guggenheim said, "this movie shook us to our very core, a movie about self-sacrifice, a delicate character study, exuberant, heartbreaking, transcendent and profoundly moving."
A special dramatic jury prize for aural inventiveness and sound design went to Shane Carruth and Johnny Marshall for "Upstream Color." (Review round-up here.)
U.S. doc cinematography went to Richard Rowley of "Dirty Wars." (Sundance Selects acquired the film.)
Two young actors took home a special U.S. dramatic special jury award, Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley of coming-of-age drama "The Spectacular Now." (A24 acquired the film; our review here.)
A special jury prize for U.S. documentary went to "Inequality for All." "It was an honor to work with Robert Reich, and I hope the ideas get out to the world," said director Jacob Kornbluth. (Sundance Selects acquired the film.)
"A River Changes Course" won the Grand jury prize for world cinema.
The special jury award for world documentary went to "American Promise," from Joe Brewster and Michele Stephenson.
The World Cinema Special Jury Prize, "or their confrontation with power," went to "Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer," from Mike Lerner & Maxim Pozdorovkin, "a film about female revolution." It's "the year of the pussy at Sundance," said juror Sean Farnell. (HBO Documentary Films acquired the doc.)
Cinematography went to "Who is Dayani Cristal?" D.P.s Marc Silver & Pau Esteve Birba. Silver thanked "whoever invented the Canon EOS 7D." (Our review and feature is here.)
The world doc editing award went to Ben Stark of "The Summit." Well-deserved. Director Nick Ryan accepted. (Our review is here.)

|Range query and a proximity search
|Tue, 21 Jul 2009 07:21:13 GMT
Hi, Iam having around 100 documents which had undergone revisions. Want to find out the documents which have undergone more than 40 revisions. The documents are all text based and the first few lines in the document contain the revision details. For eg: revision 35 This is a document regarding environmental study of ..... ........... .......... There has been 45 instances in past year when the breach had happened ....... ........... .......... The volunteers had to spend close to 15 hours to resolve the issue .......... ......... ........... I tried using : 1) A query string String q = "contents: revision AND [40 TO 50]" but, the problem was that if the revision number is 30 and the document had a number 47 in its content then the document is considered as a match. Changing the string to : "contents:\"revision AND [40 TO 50]\"~5" for specifying the proximity search turned up as run time error. 2) 2) Using a multiphrase query query.add(new Term("contents","revision")); query.add(new Term("contents","[40 TO 50]")); did not give the result. In both cases, splitting the range as "revision AND 41" or "revision AND 42" or .... yielded proper results. Can you please suggest me some pointers as to how a range query combined with proximity be done. -- Regards Ba3 -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Range-query-and-a-proximity-search-tp24582865p24582865.html Sent from the Lucene - Java Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

The phenomenon has been identified by Andrew Hamer, a regional accents expert at Liverpool University. He says that Merseysiders are increasingly speaking the watered-down form of Cockney that has already colonised much of the southern Britain.
Mr Hamer blames social mobility and EastEnders for the relentless march of Estuary English, which originated on the banks of the Thames in Essex and north Kent. He says that the trend is most noticeable in people under 30 and contrasts the sounds uttered by young scousers to those of earlier generations, whose pronunciation was influenced by the city's Irish immigrants.
"From my observations, these young speakers have started to say `fink' instead of `tink', and `bruvver' instead of `brudder'," Mr Hamer said. "It is the influence of the Cockney pronunciation."
Before the Irish arrived in Liverpool in the 19th century, seeking sanctuary from the potato famine, the native dialect was barely distinguishable from that of nearby Manchester. Immigrants from Lancashire, Scotland and Wales added to the linguistic mix, creating an accent described by one contemporary Merseysider as "one-third Irish, one-third Welsh and one- third catarrh".
Mr Hamer said the Liverpool accent had been in a constant state of flux. "I have tapes of elderly men born before the First World War who pronounce `fair' and `hair' as `fur' and `hur', which is the Lancashire influence," he said.
Many Liverpudlians will be pained by the prospect of becoming a linguistic footnote. But one likely to rejoice is the Liverpool-born novelist Beryl Bainbridge, who earlier this year called the scouse accent "stupid".

Many people wonder what a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) is. Stated in simple terms, it is a type of retirement community that offers several kinds of living styles and health care services in on place:
For people who do not need personal help with their daily activities.
Assisted living is provided for people who need limited help with certain life activities.
Care for people with memory problems.
Rehabilitation services and skilled nursing on a long-term or short-term basis.
Living in an environment with all of these services available within the environment is a real benefit. When a resident needs skilled nursing care or rehabilitation therapy, they will not have to leave their environment and go to another place in another town. This arrangement makes it easy for the spouse who does need these services to go visit their spouse frequently with a walk. They can maintain contact with each other more often than if one had to drive or find a ride.
Loomis Lakeside senior independent living offers all of this and more. The objectives of living at this facility are:
Promote a lifestyle that is active
Ensure good medical care is provided and in a timely manner
Promote social involvement
Prepare nutritious meals
Promote overall wellness programs
There is a wide variety of physical activities provided in the Health and Wellness program for the residents and each resident is encouraged to participate in as many as they feel comfortable doing. All physical activities are supervised. Physical wellness facilities are located on the campus and they include spas, heated pools and fitness centers.
Healthy living is considered to mean physical, psychological and spiritual well being. Fitness classes are offered, and lawn games are offered as a way of enjoying the outdoors and getting to know your neighbors. Aqua aerobics is another popular activity for those residents with arthritis. The nutrition program continues the health and wellness plans and they ensure that every resident has access to daily meals prepared for healthy living.
The chefs provide a number of entrees for each meal. Heart healthy menus are offered as are low-salt and low-fat menus. Intellectual and mental well being is promoted through discussion groups, challenging games and a library with thousands of volumes that will surely peak your interest. Outside speakers come in to talk with the residents on a variety of subjects.
Social and emotional wellness occurs when by forming friendships with others, and by interacting with others in groups. Forming close friendships are helpful in maintaining total well being. Families are encouraged to visit and many do, especially for Sunday brunch.
You cannot speak of wellness without health! Each resident has specific health care needs; and as those change and evolve over time, proper care needs to be provided. Having a skilled nursing staff makes for an easy transition as the health care needs change for the residents. Look at http://www.loomiscommunities.org/loomis-house-skilled-nursing-care for more information on skilled nursing care.
Vocational wellness comes from having enjoyable activities to do whether it is making something or spending time volunteering. There are many ways to achieve satisfaction from being with others and helping others. Some residents have made a vocation out of helping others or just being a good friend.

Hidden Gardens
This annual celebration of the art of the garden took place June 17 and 18. Hidden Gardens presented a full line-up of events designed to inform, inspire and intrigue garden enthusiasts. All proceeds benefit the Spencertown Academy
Click here for the full schedule of events.
Hidden Gardens Tour
This year our self-guided garden tour on June 18 featured five private gardens located in Spencertown and Kinderhook plus the gardens of Edna St. Vincent Millay at Steepetop, her historic home in Austerlitz.
The village gardens in Spencertown were tucked away behind houses and privacy screening and once inside visitors delighted in the garden expertise on display within. Each landscape offered a peek into the personal style of the owners and their sense of design as well as their passions for particular plants.
"Galloway Hill" in Kinderhook is situated on 50 acres at the crown of a hill. This contemporary country house was designed to have an effortless and casual elegance. Sliding pocket glass and barn doors allow the structures to open fully to the exquisite landscape, flowing smoothly from architecture to nature and capitalizing on breezes and views to the Catskills and Berkshires in the distance.
Beginning in 1927, on the former site of an ancient barn in Austerlitz, Millay used the existing stone foundations to create "exterior rooms" entered through garden doors. Attendees will be able to visit the restored grounds and gardens at Steepletop as part of their admission to Hidden Gardens.
Twilight in the Garden Party
Friends and neighbors paired with delicious food and libations, all served up in a bucolic setting. That was the recipe for the annual Twilight in the Garden Party on June 17. New friends were met and old ones greeted at this festive kick-off to the summer season. Sparkling beverages and a scrumptious light supper were enjoyed.
This year the party was be held at "Falling Waters" in Spencertown, the historic home of John and Denise Dunne. Stacked stonewalls slicing through rolling green meadows, punctuated by grazing sheep, had guests convinced they are partying at a charming farmstead in the Irish countryside!
Garden Lecture
The day was started with a Continental breakfast while enjoying an illustrated lecture by Adam Wheeler of Broken Arrow Nursery. Adam discussed a diverse assortment of plants that show strong resistance to deer browse. These varieties include native plants, as well as some exotics. This event was sponsored by Ward's Nursery in Great Barrington.
Learn more about this event.
Garden Market on the Green
This lovely outdoor marketplace was held on the Spencertown village green across the street from the Academy on June 18. Unusual plants, vintage garden décor, containers, furniture and more were be presented by 20 dealers. The aim of the market was to offer the rare and the unexpected at affordable prices. Admission was free.
Free gardening demonstrations were offered in the afternoon at the Market: Plants to Attract Butterflies and Planting a Succulent Dish Garden. A hands-on workshop to make your own Hummingbird-Friendly Planter to take home took place at 2:00pm. All materials were provided. Space was limited.

The Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission heard public input on proposed 2011-12 hunting season rules, adopted amendments to Puget Sound recreational clam and oyster seasons and approved three land transactions during its March 4-5 meeting in Spokane.
The proposed 2011-12 hunting season rules will be considered for final adoption at the commission's April meeting in Olympia. The hunt proposals include:
Landowner hunting permits to increase deer and elk hunters access to private lands in Asotin County.
Public-conduct rules on private lands open for hunting under cooperative agreements with WDFW.
Increases in spring black bear hunting seasons and permits in western and northeast Washington, to help reduce timber damage and bear nuisance activity, and to expand recreational opportunity within management guidelines.
Adjustments in moose, bighorn sheep, and mountain goat hunting permit levels, based on population surveys.
Simplification of Game Management Unit boundary descriptions for deer and elk hunting.
Adjustments in elk and deer general seasons and special-permit levels, in response to population increases or declines and/or crop and property damage problems in various parts of the state. The modifications include proposals to reduce antlerless white-tailed deer hunting in northeast units, while maintaining opportunities for youth, senior and disabled hunters. There also is a proposal to implement antler point restrictions for white-tailed deer in two northeast Washington game management units.
The commission also approved modifications to 2011 Puget Sound recreational clam and oyster seasons, based on annual species surveys and expected sport fishing effort. The changes will result in longer seasons on eight public beaches, shorter seasons on four beaches, and a shift in season timing on one beach. Details of the season modifications are available on the WDFW website at http://wdfw.wa.gov/commission/meetings/2011/03/mar0511_04_clams_oysters.pdf [2] .
