Reviewing Home Test Kits for Asbestos
by Guest on May 23, 2010
Reviewing Home Test Kits for Asbestos
If you have an older home, you might be at risk of asbestos exposure due to some of the building materials that were commonly used when building homes. Many homes and structures that were built in the 1970's and 1980's often had asbestos in many of the building materials used, including roofing materials, piping wraps, tiles, and insulation. Asbestos was used to add strength to building materials, as well as to provide fire resistance and insulation. However, having these types of materials in your home can be a serious health risk, if not handled properly.
Home Testing versus Professional Testing
While some people feel that you should always have asbestos testing done by professionals, there are many test kits that are now available that can help you do this important testing in your own home. Using these types of tests is less expensive than having the tests done professionally, and it's more convenient. Additionally, even if an asbestos test is negative, calling in the experts immediately could raise a red flag that could ultimately cause you a lot of added trouble and expense. As such, many people prefer to do a test themselves, and then contact the professionals if the tests come back positive for asbestos.
Choosing a Test Kit
Your typical home asbestos testing kit often contains gloves, protective coverings for the nose and mouth, sample bags to contain the suspect materials, and instructions explaining how to collect the samples. Once the samples are collected, you will be sending them into a lab per the instructions in the kit. Make sure to seal the sample securely in the sample bag, and label it clearly as to the contents. If a test comes back positive, you should then immediately contact an expert, and never try to remove the asbestos from your home yourself.
When you choose a home testing kit for asbestos, you should research the various kits on the market carefully to determine if you are getting a good deal, as prices do vary on these kits. One of the things you need to check is whether the lab fees are going to be included in the price of the kit, and how many samples you can submit for testing. Most often, you will find that in addition to the cost of the home testing kit, you will also have to pay a $15 or $20 fee for the actual testing when you submit the samples.
Testing Without a Test Kit
You might also want to compare these prices to what labs will charge for samples that are collected and submitted without the purchase of a testing kit. You can find lists of labs online that do this sort of testing, and in fact, the U.S. government maintains a list of labs that are accredited to perform asbestos testing. However, many labs prefer not to deal with private individuals, so you might find that you need to pay as much as $20 to $40 for testing, unless you find one that will give you the same price as industrial customers, which is usually in the $6 to $10 range.

Ducati Video
When two company's work together such as PUMA and Ducati, great things are expected. And PUMA's Lean In Video Series live up to these expectations.
This week's feature, which is one of seven in the Lean In series, explores how motorcycles fit into the life of Andrew Sidwell, a US Army Captain. Living in North Carolina, Sidwell manages to race his Ducat 848 in WERA club racing alongside the Ducati S4RS Tricolore he uses for street duty
In addition to Sidwell, the video series will follow, over the next 5 weeks, a female Master Technician, a fixed gear bike designer, a Formal Drift judge, a fashion designer, and a musician.
For them, just like PUMA, motorcycles are about more than just the ride: they're about the riding community, the culture, and are a way of life in and of itself.
With the debut of each new video, PUMA will also be giving away gear and the bike that inspired it all through a national consumer contest.
For more information on the contest, please visit puma.com/motorsport.

In this case, your healthcare provider will keep a close eye on baby's weight gain and tolerance to contractions. Cramped quartersBaby is curled up tightly inside your uterus. If your little one is in a breech position (feet or rump down), your provider may attempt to turn him/her. If that doesn't work, your provider may discuss with you the possibility of a Caesarean birth.Chubby cherubYour little one has probably reached final birth weight and length. The average baby is 3.4 kg (7.5 lb) and 52.1 cm (20.5 inches) long (boys are a bit bigger than girls). Fifteen per cent of the total body weight is now from fat, which will help baby stay warm in the outside world. Organs and body systems are also ready for life outside the uterus. Your baby has stored starch in the liver to be made into glucose after birth, and he or she has extra fluid on board as well. Like a camel, your little one is well equipped to get through birth and last until your breast milk comes in.Your pregnancy at 40 weeksLast-minute indulgencesYou're not considered late until you hit 42 weeks. Though you're eager to greet your child, try and consider these final days as an opportunity for a little self-indulgence. Treat yourself to a pedicure, take in a film or read a book from cover to cover. Once your little one arrives, you'll be on call 24-hours a day and it'll be a while before you can squeeze in a little me-time. Guess my age Once your baby is born, you may discover that his or her true age is different from the one you calculated based on your last menstrual period or time of conception. Right after birth, a paediatric nurse or your baby's healthcare provider will evaluate gestational age based on physical features and neurological development. It'll be interesting to compare these different dates! Did you know? Are you excited to hear your baby's first cry? You may not realise that your newborn baby's tear ducts won't actually make tears until he or she is about a month old.Quick tip for mums You've made it to the big day! How will you know when labour starts? Three classic signs are: regular contractions that become closer and longer over time; a mucus vaginal discharge (called "mucus plug" or "bloody show"); or your water breaking (called "rupture of membranes"). Check in with your healthcare provider if you experience these signs, but stay at home for as long as you can! Week 39 You might also like:

MESSAGE #2571 from the Blessed Mother January 6, 2004 My daughter, Tell my children to keep their focus on Jesus so that fear and worry do not enter their hearts. God will be with you through all trials and storms, so be at peace and do all that you can to serve my Son each new day. Peace comes from knowing Jesus, so please, please dear children, spend more time with Him. Spend time in prayer and then listen, listen to your heart. Spend time with Jesus and then do what He is asking of you. Through your response, more will come to know our dear Lord, Jesus. Through your response, you will then be living the Beatitudes. God's love must not just be spoken, it must be manifested through each of you. Put into practice all that I am teaching you so that God's love and mercy shine, shine through you. These messages are that of love, so please live them each new day. Please live them by truly loving all your brothers and sisters. Love each family member, for many today are starving due to lack of love. This time has been allowed to manifest your love of knowing Jesus. So, be faithful followers of Jesus and embrace His love so that this love shines brightly through you. Amen. MESSAGE #2573 from the Blessed Mother January 9, 2004 My daughter, Please tell my children, they cannot have peace in their hearts if they do not pray or spend time with Jesus. Peace cannot enter if my children do not open their hearts. It is time now for all my children to do their part so that peace can exist in this world. Without a true love for God, one cannot live a peaceful life. Peace must begin with you so that it can be spread across this land. This world is in a state of great turmoil due to lack of love and forgiveness. So many today carry much hatred in their heart. So many today do not know how to love because Jesus is not present in their heart and soul. Dear children, the enemy loves war and bloodshed. The enemy loves darkness and without more prayer, darker days will come. Many more wars will arise if the Gospel is not spread. Begin today and live, live the Gospel. Begin today by truly being an example to those around you. Begin today and pray more, for many hearts will be transformed by your prayers and actions. Your prayers and sacrifices are so much needed throughout this world. Begin today and join hands and pray the Rosary. Pray together with your family and teach others to do the same. Love one another and allow Jesus to reign in your homes. Consecrate your family to my Son's Most Sacred Heart and to My Immaculate Heart. Allow Our Hearts to be your refuge and strength. Spend time with Jesus and adore Our Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Peace will then be given to you and you will receive the strength needed to do God's Holy Will. Amen. See companion message 2574 from Jesus MESSAGE #2584 from the Blessed Mother February 5, 2004 My daughter, If my children truly loved Jesus, they would spend more time with Him. They would pray throughout the day and converse with God. They would not be afraid of sharing their love of knowing Jesus. They would not lose hope or worry, worry about the future. Dear children, your first love must be God if you truly want to blossom. You must adore Our Lord and follow His way of truth. You must be grateful for all that God has given you and strive to be humble, loving children. Please imitate Christ and take heed to the Gospel. Live all that you are being taught so that you truly come to know Our Lord in this time of preparation. Be
more prudent
with your time so you stay close, close to
Jesus. Do not allow the world to add busyness to your life. Set time
aside each
new day, kneeling before Our Lord. You can do this by truly building a
in your homes. All you need is a crucifix and a quiet corner to kneel
Our Lord. Each of you can do this if you truly want to spend
quiet time
kneeling and adoring Our Dear Lord, Jesus. Today I must remind my children, for so many spend such little time with Jesus. Many spend endless hours entertaining themselves with their material wealth. This is why so many children are being led further away from God. Take a look today at how much time you spend with Jesus. Take a look and then take hold of your life. If you feel distant from God, then increase your time to be with Him. If you feel alone, then take Jesus with you wherever you go. Invite all the Holy Angels and Saints to be present in your home. Call them by name and they will surely assist you. Now, please let go of the noise that surrounds you and be silent so that you can truly, truly hear God. Through silence, God will give you the wisdom needed to be more prudent. This time is so precious, so do not delay. Give more time to Jesus and adore Him each new day. Amen.
MESSAGE #2588 from the Blessed Mother My daughter, Many today are choosing to walk alone. They do not include God because they do not pray. Without prayer and a true relationship with Jesus, one will become entangled by the serpent's tail. Satan is strong and he will truly grasp those who have allowed themselves to become distant from God. My daughter, this is why it is so important to make these messages known to all your brothers and sisters. These messages are that of love and truth, and the truth must be made known. All must wake up in this time that has been allowed by God. All must turn to God and believe in His love and mercy. These messages are God's way to wake those who are sleeping. If these messages were not from God, they would have ended long ago. My daughter, this is why it is so important to write each time I come to you. For each time you write, they are truly embedded in your heart. Each time you write, souls will be saved. God is truly using many in these times, but due to lack of faith many are not listening. Many are denying God's ways because they do not want to change. Change takes time, so I plead with my children, amend your ways now. Turn away from sin and rely on God's loving assistance. Come to Mass and take heed to the Gospel. Take heed to the Gospel and obey, obey God now. Listen to your Most Holy Pope, for he is not afraid to make the truth known. This Pope is truly being guided by God, for he has been chosen for these times. Be wise and listen carefully so you come to know the whole truth. There is no longer time to be ignoring God, so respond now. Come to know my Son in a deeper way so you grow in holiness. Take my hand and I will truly help you. Return to God and join me in prayer. Seek to be like Jesus and I promise you, your life will change. Please respond now and look to Jesus for knowledge, wisdom and truth. A response is truly needed, so please look to Jesus and desire to live a pure and holy life. Amen. See companion message 2589 from Jesus MESSAGE #2592 from the Blessed Mother February 23, 2004 My daughter, I am
with you
in a very special way, so please continue to
write each time I come to you. Write and then pray that these messages
touch the hearts of those who read them. Time is short for saving souls, so please pray that more will take my hand so that I can assist them. Pray that more will come to know the truth so they go forth and live, live the Gospel. Pray, pray for my beloved Priests so their hearts stay open to what God is asking them to do. God has great plans for those who turn to Him with an open heart. God has great plans for those who accept His grace and who live the Beatitudes. Lent is a time to prepare your hearts, so begin today so you truly understand all that my Son endured for you. Begin today and open your hearts so you carry your cross with joy. When you gather today, ask our Lord to help you open your heart. Ask and then listen to my Son speak to your heart so that change can occur, occur in you. Now, please listen to
my Son
and give Him, today, your whole
heart. Your hearts will then be transformed and you will have peace.

MESSAGE #2604 from the Blessed Mother
My daughter, I am here to remind my children because so many are allowing the world to add busyness to their life. So many are running in so many directions that they have no time for God. So I say to my children, slow down and make time for God. Take time to pray and converse with God. Take time to listen as God speaks to you so you do what God is asking, asking of you. Many do not hear God because they don't take time to listen. God truly speaks to all His children, but it is up to each individual to listen, listen to their heart. In order to grow and blossom for our Lord, you must make time for prayer. You must let go of your worldly ways and truly serve our Lord. You must embrace each new cross and carry it with joy. You must obey God and live according to His Word. You must trust in Jesus with your whole heart. If you truly trust in my Son, then you will respond when He calls you to do His works of mercy. You will be obedient to His call if you trust and give your entire life to Jesus. You will be drawn closer to my Son through your response and love, love for Him. My dear children, I am truly here to bring you closer to Jesus. Through your obedience and love for my Son, He will bring you to God the Father. For this to happen you must detach yourselves from the possessions of this world. You must let go of your earthly desires and truly seek God. You must let go of pride and selfishness and be open to God's Holy Will. You must let go of fear and be willing to carry your cross. It does take effort on your part and willingness to be persecuted for living your faith. This is how you will be led to holiness. This is how you will become more disciplined and obedient to God's call. Without discipline and effort and trust, Jesus cannot draw you closer to your Heavenly Father. Each of you have work to do, so please respond to all that I am teaching you. Respond with love in your hearts and be loving, merciful and compassionate. Turn to God each new day and ask the Holy Angels to assist you to do God's Holy Will. Now, be confident in God's love for you and make a sincere effort to change and be more like Him. My prayers are truly with you, so go forth in Jesus' name. Amen. MESSAGE
from the
Mother -
March 26, 2004 My daughter, Today is a day to meditate on our Lord's Passion, so please pray and fast and meditate on the sorrowful mysteries of the Rosary. Through your prayers and sacrifices, you will help heal Jesus' wounds. One must never deny the pain and agony that Jesus endured for each of you. My Son's wounds were deep, yet He suffered in silence. Jesus bled profusely, yet He picked up His cross and suffered, suffered for humanity. Dear children, please follow the ways of my Son. Embrace all your crosses with love and joy in your heart. Embrace each new cross and offer your suffering to our Lord. Each time you do this, you are truly embracing my Son in His Passion. Please, dear children, surrender your hearts to my Son and be humble and pure. Turn away from sin and live, live a holy life. Do penance for your sins, for then you will be taking part in healing Jesus' wounds. Much strength will be given to those who live this message. By truly living all that I am teaching you, you will desire purity and holiness of heart. You will not have to suffer long in Purgatory if you do your part in healing Jesus' wounds. Through prayer, sacrifice and penance, you will be imitating Christ. Through prayer, sacrifice and penance, God will truly help those souls that you offer your prayers and sacrifices for. Now, please kneel before our Lord and meditate on Our Lord's Passion. Meditate on our Lord's Passion and be willing to suffer with love in your soul. Pray, pray the Rosary together and believe that this will truly help you live your vocation according to God's Holy Will. Go now as prayerful children and let my words and all that I am teaching you penetrate your hearts. Amen. MESSAGE #2609 from the Blessed Mother April 5, 2004 My daughter, Pray and persevere so you stay strong, strong for our Lord. Follow my Son and carry your cross with joy. All my children must do the same, they must open their hearts and seek His ways. They must be true followers of Christ and live, live a holy life. They must trust in Him always and live in His faith daily. All must pray and accept God's love and mercy if they truly want to be guided on this earth. All must be faithful servants and live and speak the truth. Begin today by truly imitating Christ. Be loving, forgiving and compassionate. Join hands with those around you and live in harmony and peace. Be good and loving children and let go of any hurt or negative feelings. Let go and give it to God so that you can move forward. Be good and pure so that you can live in the fullness of God. Unite together in the love of my Son, Jesus. Discipline yourselves now so that you may grow in truth and blossom for our Lord. His truth is the only way, so please be true disciples for our Lord. The
dawn is
near, so please walk in faith
and believe that
God is truly, truly with you. Walk in faith and believe in God's love
that He
has for each of you. Amen.
My child, Accept My blood and suffering that I shed for you. It is My gift to you, for you have been chosen to suffer for mankind. Do not be sad for all that you must endure, for it will truly keep you humble and strengthen you. Put your trust in Me, for I am Jesus who loves you very much. Look at My Eucharistic Heart and feel the fire of My love. Embrace Me so that others will come to know My true presence in the Blessed Sacrament. I know your heart, so come to Me when you feel alone. Your obedience to suffer will truly draw souls closer to Me. Each time you write My words, they will penetrate your heart. You will never be abandoned by Me or My Mother. We are ever so close to you, for you need much protection. I am
with you
in all your suffering, so continue to suffer
for love of Me. Continue to listen to My Mother, for she is the way to
Eucharistic Heart.
My child, I am Jesus. I come today to share My love with you. Through your suffering and obedience these messages will be made known. More will come to know My Mother if you continue to write. Time is short for saving souls, so listen as I speak to you. In time, all apparitions will cease and each child will need to live all that My Mother is teaching them. Those who took refuge in Our Heart will have peace. They will have peace, for I will guide them to safety. Those who use the protection that has been provided for them will be protected through all storms. This is the time of preparation, so amend your lives and make reparation for all your sins. Pray and consecrate your lives to My Sacred Heart. Consecrate your homes to My Sacred Heart and I will protect and bless each family. Storms will arise, so tell My people to take refuge in My Heart. Tell the world not to delay, for they will need My protection. My child, I ask that you share My love and mercy in those groups that My Mother has formed. I ask that you share My words that have been hidden in your heart. I ask that you pray together and then listen as I speak to you. This is how you will be guided for times ahead. This is how you will be led to safety and protected from all evil. You
are My
soldiers and I shall defend you in each battle.
You are in battle, so listen to My Mother, as she is Queen of Heaven.
refuge in her heart and follow her example. She is pure and humble and
a mother
to each of you. She has been chosen by My Father
to lead you closer to
Me. Do
not resist. Take her hand and do not ignore her motherly requests.
MESSAGE #2593 from Jesus February 23, 2004 My child, Doors will open soon, for these messages are from the heart of My Mother. Those who take heed to her words will be led closer to Me. Those who are willing to suffer in My name shall have eternal life. Eternal life is for those who believe and who walk with Me. Be disciples of hope
to this
world by lighting the way for
others. You are My beloved ones. I am Jesus and you are My disciples.

That's why I take anything on "reality" TV will a big grain of salt. And anything in print. Print can't capture tone of voice or facial expression. Even if the writer had the best of intentions. You are there so you know the context of the comments. I know I've been suprised when someone reads I quote I included in a story and they are waaay off base. I'm suprised because I am closer to the live event. But in hindsight ....
I liked Nnenna at the beginning, but what initially struck me as quiet strength and elegance turned into arrogance and bitchiness. She was extremely callous to Brooke, and oozed a sense of entitlement. I can't really see how that whole scene was edited to show Nnenna in a bad light. She took care of that herself. :nono She may have won a bucketful of challenges, but her photos were only meh. It seemed like a fair elimination to me.

Looks like Brooke has been callous to almost everyone who isn't her friend... behind their backs. Which is just a little bit worse, imo. But whatever, glad she's gone.
Good riddance, ba-Nnenna. Don't let the door smack you on the way out.

Don't know if this has been brought up yet, but something new happened in ANTM history.

Midseason is a great time to take a look back at some of our preseason predictions and, in addition to seeing some of our missteps, make some alterations based on the first half of the season.
We polled some of ILWomen's contributors to get thoughts on early-season performances and who should be in consideration for midseason All-Americans. You can compare our midseason selections to the Preseason All-Americans that were featured in the Face-Off Yearbook.
You can also see how our 2012 preseason predictions stacked up to the final IWLCA selections last year.

Advocacy & Communications
A key role of the Irish Hospice Foundation is to inform people about hospice care and the value it offers to patients and their families. Hospice care is about supporting people to live a quality life until the end. It also offers support to a patient's family and loved ones. It is a holistic approach to care that a person with a life-limiting illness should be able to access. A person of any age, any diagnosis and in any part of Ireland.
We communicate with the public is a range of ways from working with the media to publishing documents and information leaflets and organising public events to impart information or listen to the views of the public.
We also communicate in order to bring about change for the better for our most vulnerable citizens. We harness public interest in end-of-life issues and advocate for changes in policy and practices around end of life.
The public is a vital ally in this work. We encourage people to become hospice advocates by supporting the development of hospice services in their own areas or lobbying at a national level for more investment in hospice care.
Public Hearings Oct – Nov 2013
Between October 24th and 14th November 2013 the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children, chaired by Jerry Buttimer TD, held a series of five public hearings on end-of-life issues. In this important process the Committee examined current arrangements for end-of-life care in Ireland and what measures might be taken to ensure that persons of all ages who are approaching the end of life are enabled to die well and with dignity.
Expert and interested speakers; including IHF CEO Sharon Foley, addressed the Committee on a variety of subjects relating to dying, death and bereavement. READ MORE >>>

Three documentaries... show more from director Errol Morris. 'The Thin Blue Line' (1988) uses drama and documentary techniques to explore the murder of a police officer in Dallas in 1976, and the trial and conviction of his kiler. But Morris concludes that the man convicted for the crime may not have actually pulled the trigger in the shooting. 'Vernon Florida' (1981) takes a fly on the wall look at an eccentric small American town. Finally, 'Gates of Heaven' (1980) looks at the emotional turmoil when a local pet cemetery is forced to close its gates, and the bodies of the animals have to be transferred to another one.show less

text: Hidden in the most remote reaches of Appalachia and secluded from the outside world is a fiercely independent culture wary of outsiders. And the king of this world is Billy Taylor. His trade? Digging and dealing indigenous medicinal roots and herbs. It is a fierce and competitive world where poachers are punished, digging spots are secret and allies aren't easy to find. But after Billy created an outlet for the diggers to buy and sell their roots, he became king.

Northern News.
We append a few additional items of Northern news:General summary of Northern items.
From the New York Herald, of December 1st, we take the following: ' The New York cotton market was again higher yesterday, and closed at an advance of per lb. The sales embraced about 1,700 bales, chiefly to spinners, at 27½c. per lb. for middling uplands. ' Capt. Nathaniel Gordon, of the slave ship Erie, convicted of piracy, was yesterday sentenced in the U. S. Circuit Court to be hanged on the 7th of February next. The prisoner has a young and interesting wife, and a lovely child. United States Marshal Murray has been ordered by the Secretary of State to proceed to Fort McHenry to investigate some matters connected with the existing treason. The exports of breadstuffs to Europe during the past week were 1,000,000 bushels grain and $1,155 barrels of flour — a slight falling off from the shipments of the past six weeks. Four tenement buildings were destroyed by fire in Alexandria, Virginia, on the 27th ult. Loss $5,000. Ex-Marshal Kane, of Baltimore, is to be released from Fort Warren on his parole for three weeks, to attend upon his father-in-law, who is dangerously sick. The steamer Vanderbilt, on her way up to Albany, on Wednesday night, met with a slight accident, and was compelled to lay up. Her passengers took the Hudson River Railroad cars. The irons sides for the iron-clad Government steamer now building in this city are being manufactured in Troy. There appears to be a hitch in the movements of the famous Vermont regiment. It is sand, however, that they will certainly pass through New York this week. A letter has been received in Troy from the 13th regiment, Col. Frisby, stating that the bodies of three of the members of the regiment who were attached to the foraging party of Capt. Landing, had been found in the woods, perfectly naked, two with their throats cut, and the other with his head taken entirely off. This looks as if the black flag was flying.Deserters from the Mississippi twenty first.
The following dispatch from General Stone we take from the New York Herald, of the 1st inst. --Yesterday one deserter came from the Mississippi Twenty-first Regiment, at the risk of his life, Two others of the same regiment and company implored an officer bearing a flag of truce to bring them over with him. Of course he could not make such a use of a white flag. It is represented that nearly a dozen in that company wish to leave. The reasons given are neglect when sick, and want of proper food. The total force in the vicinity of Leesburg fit for duty is represented to be about 2,000. There are from 600 to 800 sick. There are two companies of freshmen in the 21st Mississippi Regiment, represented to be greatly dissatisfied. Informers say there are no troops between Manassas Junction and Goose Creek, on Gun Spring road. C. P. Stone, Brigadier General.
Movements of Western troops.
The Chicago (Hi.) Journal, November 28, says: ' The movement of troops in this section of the Northwest is in excess of anything yet seen since the war opened. The Chicago, Alion, and St. Louis Railroad Company, for instance, are to move to-day from this city to St. Louis the Lincoln regiment of Col. Wilson. On the next day (Friday) Col. Kellogg's Michigan Cavalry, from Grand Rapids, are to pass over the same line. On Saturday they transport a large portion of the Ninth Iowa regiment, who leave Iowa City and connect at Joliet. On Sunday the Wisconsin Ninth; on Tuesday the Wisconsin Eleventh, and on the same day the Second regiment of the Douglas Brigade, Col. David Stewart, are to pass over the route — in all upwards of ten thousand men to go forward within a week. 'Expected official Advices from Fort Pickens--the Tankies Incredulous.
Washington, Nov. 30.
--The Navy Department has no intelligence from the Gulf, except what has been published.
Nothing official from that quarter is expected until the arrival of the Connecticut, expected within a few days.
It is not doubted that there has been an engagement between Gen. Brown and the rebel forts around Fort Pickens, but there cannot be a word of truth in the rebel statements in regard to our ships having been in the engagement, for the simple reason that the Colorado was not there at all, and the Niagara draws too much water to have been in the position which these reports assigned to her.
Steamboat Collision and Drowning of soldiers.
Cincinnati, Nov. 30.
--The steamer Belle Creole, from Cincinnati for Pittsburg, deeply laded, and the steamer Fallstone, from Kanawha, with a portion of Colonel Tythe's Tenth Ohio regiment, collided last night, 7 miles above this city.
The concussion knocked eight or ten soldiers into the river, and it is thought all but one were drowned.
The cargo of the Belle Creole was valued at twenty thousand dollars, and is insured in Cincinnati offices.
News from Kentucky--movements of General Zollicoffer.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 30.
--The Evening Bulletin says that a few days since the rebel Gen. Zollicoffer was at Monticello, Wayne county, with 7,000 men.
All the liquor stores were closed till Monday, by order of the Provost Marshal.

Handel - Largo from Xerxes
Sheet music for flute
Alt. Title: | Ombra mai fu |
Info: | Often under the title "Largo from Xerxes", "Ombra mai fu" is the opening aria from opera Serse. The opera was a commercial failure, lasting only five performances in London after its premiere. In the 19th century, however, the aria was rediscovered and became one of Handel's best-known pieces. |
Opus number: | HWV 40 |
Date: | 1738 |
Artist: | George Frideric Handel |
Born: | 23 February 1685, Halle |
Died: | 14 April 1759, London |
The artist: | German, later British Baroque composer who spent the bulk of his career in London, becoming well known for his operas, oratorios, anthems, and organ concertos. Born in a family indifferent to music, Handel received critical training in Halle, Hamburg and Italy before settling in London in 1712; he became a naturalised British subject in 1727. He was strongly influenced both by the great composers of the Italian Baroque and the middle-German polyphonic choral tradition. |
Instrument: | Flute |
Key: | Bb major |
Range: | F4 - Bb5 |

Concurrency: model-based design1 ©Magee/Kramer Chapter 8 Model-Based Design
Concurrency: model-based design2 ©Magee/Kramer Model-based Design Concepts : design process: requirements to models to implementations Models :check properties of interest: - safety on the appropriate (sub)system - progress on the overall system Practice : model interpretation - to infer actual system behavior threads and monitors Aim : rigorous design process.
Concurrency: model-based design3 ©Magee/Kramer goals of the system scenarios (Use Case models) properties of interest 8.1 from requirements to models Requirements Model identify the main events, actions, and interactions identify and define the main processes identify and define the properties of interest structure the processes into an architecture check traces of interest check properties of interest Any appropriate design approach can be used.
Concurrency: model-based design4 ©Magee/Kramer a Cruise Control System - requirements When the car ignition is switched on and the on button is pressed, the current speed is recorded and the system is enabled: it maintains the speed of the car at the recorded setting. Pressing the brake, accelerator or off button disables the system. Pressing resume or on re- enables the system. buttons
Concurrency: model-based design5 ©Magee/Kramer a Cruise Control System - hardware Wheel revolution sensor generates interrupts to enable the car speed to be calculated. Parallel Interface Adapter (PIA) is polled every 100msec. It records the actions of the sensors: buttons ( on, off, resume ) brake (pressed) accelerator (pressed) engine ( on, off ). Output: The cruise control system controls the car speed by setting the throttle via the digital-to-analogue converter.
Concurrency: model-based design6 ©Magee/Kramer model - outline design outline processes and interactions. Input Speed monitors the speed when the engine is on, and provides the current speed readings to speed control. Sensor Scan monitors the buttons, brake, accelerator and engine events. Cruise Controller triggers clear speed and record speed, and enables or disables the speed control. Speed Control clears and records the speed, and sets the throttle accordingly when enabled. Throttle sets the actual throttle. Sensors Prompts Engine speed setThrottle

The main actions and interactions are as shown.
Concurrency: model-based design9 ©Magee/Kramer model elaboration - process definitions SENSORSCAN = ({Sensors} -> SENSORSCAN). // monitor speed when engine on INPUTSPEED = (engineOn -> CHECKSPEED), CHECKSPEED = (speed -> CHECKSPEED |engineOff -> INPUTSPEED ). // zoom when throttle set THROTTLE =(setThrottle -> zoom -> THROTTLE). // perform speed control when enabled SPEEDCONTROL = DISABLED, DISABLED =({speed,clearSpeed,recordSpeed}->DISABLED | enableControl -> ENABLED ), ENABLED = ( speed -> setThrottle -> ENABLED |{recordSpeed,enableControl} -> ENABLED | disableControl -> DISABLED ).
Concurrency: model-based design10 ©Magee/Kramer model elaboration - process definitions // enable speed control when cruising, // disable when off, brake or accelerator pressed CRUISECONTROLLER = INACTIVE, INACTIVE =(engineOn -> clearSpeed -> ACTIVE), ACTIVE =(engineOff -> INACTIVE |on->recordSpeed->enableControl->CRUISING ), CRUISING =(engineOff -> INACTIVE |{ off,brake,accelerator} -> disableControl -> STANDBY |on->recordSpeed->enableControl->CRUISING ), STANDBY =(engineOff -> INACTIVE |resume -> enableControl -> CRUISING |on->recordSpeed->enableControl->CRUISING ).
Concurrency: model-based design11 ©Magee/Kramer model - CONTROL subsystem ||CONTROL =(CRUISECONTROLLER ||SPEEDCONTROL ). - Is control enabled after the engine is switched on and the on button is pressed? - Is control disabled when the brake is then pressed? - Is control re- enabled when resume is then pressed? Animate to check particular traces: Safety: Is the control disabled when off, brake or accelerator is pressed? Progress: Can every action eventually be selected? However, we need to analyse to exhaustively check:
Concurrency: model-based design12 ©Magee/Kramer model - Safety properties Safety properties should be composed with the appropriate system or subsystem to which the property refers. In order that the property can check the actions in its alphabet, these actions must not be hidden in the system. Safety checks are compositional. If there is no violation at a subsystem level, then there cannot be a violation when the subsystem is composed with other subsystems. This is because, if the ERROR state of a particular safety property is unreachable in the LTS of the subsystem, it remains unreachable in any subsequent parallel composition which includes the subsystem. Hence...
Concurrency: model-based design13 ©Magee/Kramer model - Safety properties Is CRUISESAFETY violated? ||CONTROL =(CRUISECONTROLLER ||SPEEDCONTROL ||CRUISESAFETY ). property CRUISESAFETY = ({off,accelerator,brake,disableControl} -> CRUISESAFETY |{on,resume} -> SAFETYCHECK ), SAFETYCHECK = ({on,resume} -> SAFETYCHECK |{off,accelerator,brake} -> SAFETYACTION |disableControl -> CRUISESAFETY ), SAFETYACTION =(disableControl->CRUISESAFETY). LTS?
Concurrency: model-based design14 ©Magee/Kramer model analysis ||CONTROL = (CRUISECONTROLLER||SPEEDCONTROL||CRUISESAFETY )@ {Sensors,speed,setThrottle}. ||CRUISECONTROLSYSTEM = (CONTROL||SENSORSCAN||INPUTSPEED||THROTTLE). We can now compose the whole system: Deadlock? Safety? No deadlocks/errors Progress?
Concurrency: model-based design15 ©Magee/Kramer model - Progress properties Progress checks should be conducted on the complete target system after satisfactory completion of the safety checks. Progress checks are not compositional. Even if there is no violation at a subsystem level, there may still be a violation when the subsystem is composed with other subsystems. This is because an action in the subsystem may satisfy progress yet be unreachable when the subsystem is composed with other subsystems which constrain its behavior. Hence...
Concurrency: model-based design16 ©Magee/Kramer model - Progress properties Progress violation for actions: {engineOn, clearSpeed, engineOff, on, recordSpeed, enableControl, off, disableControl, brake, accelerator...........} Path to terminal set of states: engineOn clearSpeed on recordSpeed enableControl engineOff engineOn Actions in terminal set: {speed, setThrottle, zoom} Control is not disabled when the engine is switched off ! Check with no hidden actions
Concurrency: model-based design17 ©Magee/Kramer cruise control model - minimized LTS ||CRUISEMINIMIZED = (CRUISECONTROLSYSTEM) @ {Sensors,speed}. Action hiding and minimization can help to reduce the size of the LTS diagram and make it easier to interpret.
Concurrency: model-based design18 ©Magee/Kramer model - revised cruise control system Modify CRUISECONTROLLER so that control is disabled when the engine is switched off: … CRUISING =(engineOff -> disableControl -> INACTIVE |{ off,brake,accelerator} -> disableControl -> STANDBY |on->recordSpeed->enableControl->CRUISING ), … OK now? Modify the safety property: property IMPROVEDSAFETY = ({off,accelerator,brake,disableControl, engineOff} -> IMPROVEDSAFETY |{on,resume} -> SAFETYCHECK ), SAFETYCHECK = ({on,resume} -> SAFETYCHECK |{off,accelerator,brake,engineOff} -> SAFETYACTION |disableControl-> IMPROVEDSAFETY ), SAFETYACTION =(disableControl-> IMPROVEDSAFETY).
Concurrency: model-based design19 ©Magee/Kramer model - revised cruise control system Minimized LTS: What about under adverse conditions? Check for system sensitivities. No deadlocks/errors No progress violations detected.
Concurrency: model-based design20 ©Magee/Kramer model - system sensitivities ||SPEEDHIGH = CRUISECONTROLSYSTEM << {speed}. Progress violation for actions: {engineOn, engineOff, on, off, brake, accelerator, resume, setThrottle, zoom} Path to terminal set of states: engineOn tau Actions in terminal set: {speed} The system may be sensitive to the priority of the action speed.
Concurrency: model-based design21 ©Magee/Kramer model interpretation Models can be used to indicate system sensitivities. If it is possible that erroneous situations detected in the model may occur in the implemented system, then the model should be revised to find a design which ensures that those violations are avoided. However, if it is considered that the real system will not exhibit this behavior, then no further model revisions are necessary. Model interpretation and correspondence to the implementation are important in determining the relevance and adequacy of the model design and its analysis.
Concurrency: model-based design22 ©Magee/Kramer The central role of design architecture Design architecture describes the gross organization and global structure of the system in terms of its constituent components. We consider that the models for analysis and the implementation should be considered as elaborated views of this basic design structure.
Concurrency: model-based design23 ©Magee/Kramer 8.2 from models to implementations Model Java identify the main active entities - to be implemented as threads identify the main (shared) passive entities - to be implemented as monitors identify the interactive display environment - to be implemented as associated classes structure the classes as a class diagram
Concurrency: model-based design24 ©Magee/Kramer cruise control system - class diagram SpeedControl interacts with the car simulation via interface CarSpeed. CRUISECONTROLLERSPEEDCONTROL
Concurrency: model-based design25 ©Magee/Kramer cruise control system - class Controller class Controller { final static int INACTIVE = 0; // cruise controller states final static int ACTIVE = 1; final static int CRUISING = 2; final static int STANDBY = 3; private int controlState = INACTIVE; //initial state private SpeedControl sc; Controller(CarSpeed cs, CruiseDisplay disp) {sc=new SpeedControl(cs,disp);} synchronized void brake(){ if (controlState==CRUISING ) {sc.disableControl(); controlState=STANDBY; } } synchronized void accelerator(){ if (controlState==CRUISING ) {sc.disableControl(); controlState=STANDBY; } } synchronized void engineOff(){ if(controlState!=INACTIVE) { if (controlState==CRUISING) sc.disableControl(); controlState=INACTIVE; } Controller is a passive entity - it reacts to events. Hence we implement it as a monitor
Concurrency: model-based design26 ©Magee/Kramer cruise control system - class Controller synchronized void engineOn(){ if(controlState==INACTIVE) {sc.clearSpeed(); controlState=ACTIVE;} } synchronized void on(){ if(controlState!=INACTIVE){ sc.recordSpeed(); sc.enableControl(); controlState=CRUISING; } synchronized void off(){ if(controlState==CRUISING ) {sc.disableControl(); controlState=STANDBY;} } synchronized void resume(){ if(controlState==STANDBY) {sc.enableControl(); controlState=CRUISING;} } This is a direct translation from the model.
Concurrency: model-based design27 ©Magee/Kramer cruise control system - class SpeedControl class SpeedControl implements Runnable { final static int DISABLED = 0; //speed control states final static int ENABLED = 1; private int state = DISABLED; //initial state private int setSpeed = 0; //target speed private Thread speedController; private CarSpeed cs; //interface to control speed private CruiseDisplay disp; SpeedControl(CarSpeed cs, CruiseDisplay disp){ this.cs=cs; this.disp=disp; disp.disable(); disp.record(0); } synchronized void recordSpeed(){ setSpeed=cs.getSpeed(); disp.record(setSpeed); } synchronized void clearSpeed(){ if (state==DISABLED) {setSpeed=0;disp.record(setSpeed);} } synchronized void enableControl(){ if (state==DISABLED) { disp.enable(); speedController= new Thread(this); speedController.start(); state=ENABLED; } SpeedControl is an active entity - when enabled, a new thread is created which periodically obtains car speed and sets the throttle.
Concurrency: model-based design28 ©Magee/Kramer cruise control system - class SpeedControl synchronized void disableControl(){ if (state==ENABLED) {disp.disable(); state=DISABLED;} } public void run() { // the speed controller thread try { while (state==ENABLED) { Thread.sleep(500); if (state==ENABLED) synchronized(this) { double error = (float)(setSpeed-cs.getSpeed())/6.0; double steady = (double)setSpeed/12.0; cs.setThrottle(steady+error); //simplified feed back control } } catch (InterruptedException e) {} speedController=null; } SpeedControl is an example of a class that combines both synchronized access methods (to update local variables ) and a thread.
