EPO offices closed from 23.12.2019 to 1.1.2020
All our offices will be closed over the holiday period from 23 December 2019 and will open again on 2 January 2020.
Patent statistics can be used to ascertain the maturity of certain technologies or to identify technological trends. By comparing the number of applications with the number of applicants, it is possible to identify whether research activities are clustered or scattered. This can then be illustrated in a patent map.
Patent mapping is essentially the visualisation of the results of statistical analyses and text mining processes applied to patent documents. Patent mapping allows you to create a visual representation of information from and about patent documents in a way that is easy to understand. It is an excellent tool for assessing large sets of patent data. Using bibliographic data you can identify which technical fields particular applicants are active in, and how their filing patterns and IP portfolios change over time. It is also possible to find out which countries lead in which fields.
Patent statistics and patent mapping can provide invaluable information for corporate decision-makers, investors (venture capitalists, promotional banks), innovators (R&D), influencers (patent offices, policy-makers) and management.
| Step 1:
| Step 2:
Carry out a statistical analysis of structured information such as bibliographic data, inventors' names, titles of inventions, etc. Do text mining on unstructured information such as abstracts, descriptions and claims
| Step 3:
Visualise the results of your statistical analysis by creating your patent map. There are many different kinds of patent maps for various purposes and users. You can use various graphs to show the results of your statistical analysis, for example simple bar or line charts, area graphs or bubble charts. These are all forms of patent maps.
Basic EPO production statistics such as filing rates by technical domain, residence of applicants and inventors, the most active patent filers, etc. can be found on the general statistics page, which contains a general breakdown by EPC contracting state (also published in our annual reports). An executive summary of the same statistics is incorporated in the Facts and figures brochure.
Statistical data from the EU perspective can be found on the Eurostat website (follow the headings "Science & Technology", then "Patents").
| Trilateral
The Trilateral website has statistics from the EPO, JPO and USPTO dating back to 1996 in the annual Trilateral Statistical Reports, which also provide an overview of worldwide patenting activities, as well as details of and comparisons between each office's business processes.
The WIPO website provides patent and PCT statistics.
The OECD's work on patents covers various patent indicators reflecting trends in innovative activity across a wide range of OECD and non-OECD countries, with six main sections: EPO, USPTO and JPO patent families; patenting at national, regional and international level; patenting in selected technology areas; patents by institutional sector; international co-operation in patenting; European and international patent citations.
Espacenet cannot be used to produce statistics. Its main purpose is to look for patents in a particular technical field, coming from a particular inventor, applicant, etc. The indicated number of results found is only an approximate number generated using the average patent family size.
No, the EPO can advise users and guide them to the appropriate tools that will help them conduct their analysis of patent statistics and create a patent map. However, it does not provide tailor-made data sets or statistical analyses, and has not developed tools for automatically generating patent maps.
Watch out for virtual classroom seminars on patent mapping and statistics on the EPO's searchable events calendar.
A good guide to commercial databases and products related to patent statistics and patent mapping is "Patent analysis for competitive technical intelligence and innovative thinking". There is also a "Guide Book for Practical Use of 'Patent Map for Each Technology Field'", published by the Japan Patent Office (JPO) and the Asia-Pacific Industrial Property Center, JIII.
For advice and guidance on which patent mapping tool is right for you, contact Johannes Schaaf at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Be aware that simply counting patents is often not enough, since the value of patents is so different from case to case - you need to assess the importance of the invention. Significant indicators include: patent family size, the length of time the patent is in force and citation information.
Some sources of patent statistics are limited to data from a particular geographical area, ESPACE Bulletin for example containing only European publication data.
You should also always compare the resulting information with other sources, such as market information and expert opinions. You should also be familiar with the patent grant procedure.

i'd like it more if the actual challenges had more effort, physical and mental. even the sabotages aren't much of a deterent so far.i did notice that ben seems to have slipped off everyone's radar, at least in the editting. i don't predict long stays for either cheryl or j.d. at this point. they don't seem to have too many friends.i'm still watching and hoping for more though.

http://www.bloggeter.com (visit site to see LOGO)
I am a former corporate executive and small business owner that gave up the rat race when I found Internet Marketing 2 years ago. I now want to show people how to leverage Social Media Marketing to harness the power of the internet to make money from home using a BLOG as their central hub. I lead a nice home based business lifestyle in sunny florida. I love working from home, wearing a Tommy Bahama shirt, shorts and sandals, sipping on my expresso at starbucks by the beach (best part, no employees, or bosses) and I get time to spend with my family now. This is why I love the power of the internet. I helped co-found thetrafficplan.com which is a training center and list builder for internet marketers, but my focus is now going to be helping the everyday person outside of the internet marketing world how to take their hobby and turn it into extra money, or a new career. I am passionate about empowering others through education and entertainment. I was the former CFO for Tony Robbins too, so I am a bit of a ham and enjoy being in front of an audience as I am passionate about helping others achieve their dreams and live a fulfilled life.
Bloggeter is an idea that stems from two colliding industries:
1) Blogging, and
2) Internet & Social Media Marketing
Most bloggers are not good marketers, and most marketers don't understand the power of a blog. HOWEVER, the few that have been able to put the two together (e.g., Bloggers that consider themselves Internet Marketers) have been able to build significant brand names with huge followings and sell a boat load of stuff to their lists (AFFILIATE MARKETING) via email marketing, etc.
Many bloggers are trying to teach other bloggers how to make money blogging, however, the only people that make money blogging make money by USING their BLOG as a tool to MARKET via the internet.
So, "bloggeter" will teach bloggers how to become internet marketers and create multiple streams of income by using their Blog as their central hub. And, will be putting a "Social Media Marketing" spin on it, so that "Bloggeter" will be a cross between "blogging" and "social media marketing", hence, "Bloggeter" (Blogger/Marketer).
Target Audience
- Bloggers looking to make money from their blogging
- Internet markters looking to learn how to harness the power of blogging
- Social Media Marketers looking to learn how to leverage a blog
- Anyone looking to make money from home (e.g., work at home moms, etc.)
I'm a Bloggeter....are you!?
VIEW LOGO at http://www.bloggeter.com & use for design purposes:
2 or 3 column - be creative
some other successful blogs:
Similarly, at minimum I need the following elements:
- opt in box for special offer
- advertisement spots in similar locations (side bar, after posts, header, etc.)
- social media capabilities
- I need the blog to also 'brand' ME, not just the company name (Bloggeter)
- I want the blog comments to use multimedia not just text content.
I would like it to have a bit of a web 2.0 look and feel (NOT OVERDONE or over designed; see logo as an example - crisp and clean, not over the top web 2.0). the color scheme and font should be very warm and inviting, similar to the logo, but still maintain a level of professionalism like the ww.problogger.com logo design.
The thing I noticed on those blog examples that I DO NOT WANT TO EMULATE is this: (VERY IMPORTANT): I do NOT want it to be so "BUSY" looking. The designs should leave enough room between content, so it's not 'overwhelming to a first time visitor' trying to figure out what they are looking at.
The one last thing that I think is important to keep it from being to 'polished and professional' is a 'MASCOT'. For example, the "Jake" character from http://www.lifeisgood.com - JAKE is what helped CATAPULT the 'Life is Good' brand...I want our character to do the same.

Tyler Jackson made 36 saves in
Stonehill lets two goal lead slip away in third period
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. (December 6, 2011) – The Stonehill College men's ice hockey let a two goal lead in the third period slip away salvaging a 5-5 tie against Framingham State University in non-conference action on Tuesday night at Loring Arena.
Senior forward Patrick Greene (Weymouth, Mass./Catholic Memorial) led the way offensively for the Skyhawks with one goal and two assists while freshman Kevin Aufiero (Canton, Mass.) potted his team-leading fifth goal of the season and dished out one assist.
For Framingham State, freshman forward Ryan McDonald (Anchorage, Alaska) netted a pair of goals for the Rams including the game-tying goal at 10:09 of the third period.
Trailing 3-2 in the second period, Stonehill responded with three-straight goals to take a 5-3 lead into the game's second intermission. Junior defenseman J.J. Sabin (Milton, Mass./Tilton School) notched his first marker of the season at 6:41 to even the contest, 3-3, on feeds from Greene and Aufiero.
Greene took advantage of an extra man opportunity at 10:52 beating Framingham State goaltender Todd Rowley (Billerica, MA/Southern New Hampshire) on assists from sophomore Bryan Rooney (Canton, Mass./New Hampton School) and junior Christopher Gorovitz (Framingham, Mass./Tilton School) for his first power play goal of the season and second total.
Moments later at 11:53, Greene returned the favor to Carey setting up the sophomore for his third goal of the season and a 5-3 advantage.
Framingham State answered in the third period as Robert Driscoll (Chelmsford, Mass.) cut the deficit within one at the 7:49 mark. McDonald made it 5-5 at 10:09 finishing on a feed from teammate Brendan McCarron (Millbury, Mass./St. John's) for his team-leading fourth marker of the year.
Stonehill netminder Tyler Jackson (Little Silver, N.J./Christian Brothers Academy), making his first start of the season, held on to force overtime stopping a period-high 14 shots in net for the Skyhawks. On the night, Jackson made 36 saves in his season debut including one in the overtime session. Rowley turned away 28 shots with two coming in overtime.
Framingham State outshot Stonehill, 41-33, while each team went 1-for-5 (.200) on its power play opportunities.
Stonehill (3-6-1, 2-1-0 NE-10) travels to Western New England College on Thursday at 7:15 p.m. Framingham State (1-4-2, 1-2-1 MASCAC) hosts Salem State in MASCAC action on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.

The Heilongjiang River, the Sino-Russian boundary river, runs across the northern part of north China. Its headstream includes the northern source and the southern source. The northern source Shilka River originates from the eastern foothills of the Mount Kent in the Outer Mongolia, and the southern source Argun River originates from the western slope of China's Great Hinggan Mountains. After the convergence of the southern source and the northern source at the Xiluoguhe Village, Mohe City, China, the river is called as the Heilongjiang River that runs eastwardly and finally empties into the Sea of Okhotsk. The Heilongjiang River flows across China, Russia and the Outer Mongolia. Its entire length is 5498 kilometers, the 11th largest river in the world. Its drainage area is up to 1,843,000 square kilometers, ranking the 10th largest in the world. The drainage area within China accounts for 48% of the total drainage area.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.Text by Steve Smith.

Tooling Update
New AutoForm Version Features Hydroforming-Tooling Enhancements
AutoForm Engineering Inc., USA, Troy, MI, announced the release of Auto-Form software version 4.2. This version integrates process layout and tool-cost calculation into the AutoForm product suite.
A major new tooling feature centers around the hydroforming process with the definition of preforming tools. The concept significantly improves part quality, increases manufacturing efficiency and reduces tool wear, according to company officials. Other hydroforming enhancements in the new version include new stage-concept definition. Increasing complex part geometries often requires the preform forming step after the bending and before the hydroforming process. Version 4.2 provides stage-concept definition for the hydroforming process starting from bending and preforming to hydroforming.
Other major enhancements in v4.2 include accurate OneStep-based flange development, more efficient springback compensation and import of various native CAD files.

After several years of existence, The Dark Mod remains the single best way to convert Doom into Thief. Hey, I'll take it - I like Doom fine, but I like Thief better.
The new version of the mod, version 1.08, adds a crap-ton of fixes and tweaks; way more than I could list here. And if you're looking for a new fan-made quest to try, the Dark Mod folks are making a big ruckus about In The North, a new fan-made mission that sounds pretty cool.
If you've already gotten all you're gonna get out of Dishonored and need another game that lets you lean around corners, it might be time to re-fire-up The Dark Mod.

One of the more interesting demonstrations at Black Hat this year was Johanna Rutkowska's discovery of a flaw in the BIOS of certain Intel motherboards that could be used to "bluepill" the Xen hypervisor. Details on the exploit were not available until now, but Intel provides the following details in its advisory:
"This change would prevent a malicious user from modifying software that is run in System Management Mode (SMM). SMM is a privileged operating environment running outside of OS control. Malicious software running in this environment could therefore perform any number of operations. Administrative level privileges are required to exploit this issue. BIOS updates to correct this issue are available for all affected Intel branded motherboards."
Affected motherboards include: Intel DQ35JO, DQ35MP, DP35DP, DG33FB, DG33BU, DG33TL, DX38BT and MGM965TW (Mobile). The initial announcement was met with concern, given that a BIOS-level exploit could potentially affect any system, regardless of its operating system. Intel stresses, however, that it never saw this type of exploit in the wild,and that it's patching this hole to prevent future issues rather than repairing damage already done.

Balsley working to help Volquez repeat delivery
DENVER -- Pitching coach Darren Balsley has worked closely with Sunday starter Edinson Volquez, attempting to remedy the mechanical issues that plagued him in his Opening Day start against the Mets.
Volquez allowed six earned runs and three walks in three-plus innings, as the Mets ran away with an 11-2 victory.
Balsley worked with Volquez on two key issues during his side session -- shortening his long stride and also helping him find a steady arm slot to deal from.
"We just wanted to calm down his lower half and get a more consistent arm slot," Balsley said. "With the lower half, it's getting him not to over stride."
To accomplish as much, Balsley had Volquez wear shoes that had plastic spikes and not metal ones, the kind Volquez would normally wear during a start. While the metal spikes provide more firm footing, the plastic ones forced Volquez to really concentrate on his lower half and not over striding.
Balsley said he won't go as far to ask Volquez to wear the plastic spikes in a game, since hasn't done so before. Hopefully, Balsley said, some of the between-start fixes will take hold.
"Hopefully, if he repeats his delivery, he'll be fine," Balsley said.

Inside the Chinese Market That Produces 45% of the World's Tablets
Where do China's cheap tablets come from?
Shopping for a tablet in Shenzhen can be a dizzying experience. In the southern Chinese metropolis' main electronics market, Huaqiangbei, dozens of nearly identical Android tablets jostle for space on the shelves.
The brands are unfamiliar – Ramos, Teclast, Ployer, Colortab and Iaiwai. The white slates look vaguely reminiscent of iPads, but sell for as little as 299 yuan ($48). Where did so many unknown tablet makers come from and how can they make these devices so cheaply?
Silicon Valley has recently taken an interest in doing business with Shenzhen's low-cost tablet makers, casting a spotlight on these small companies that have collectively become a major force. Analysts say Shenzhen's tablet makers churn out around 45% of the world's tablets -- mostly sold in China and other developing markets -- putting pricing pressure on big players like Apple and Samsung.
Many of these Shenzhen tablet makers started out making simpler electronics, such as MP3 players.
"Because we made MP3 players, it gave us the background to move to more advanced devices like tablets," said Wan Qiuyang, Chief Executive of Shenzhen-based tablet maker Ramos.
But it's still a big technological gap between MP3 players and tablets, and these small companies were able to make the jump with speed. The key has been chipmakers like Taiwan's Mediatek and China's Rockchip, who do much of the technical work for the manufacturers and then sell them a template for making the devices, analysts say.
By spreading the research costs across all their customers, these chipmakers are able to provide a much cheaper tablet solution than if any one manufacturer did all the development in-house. The templates also allow small Chinese firms with limited R&D resources of their own to enter the tablet sector.
Antonio Liu, analyst at market research firm IDC, says that these chipmakers, along with the cluster effect, have helped Shenzhen make low-cost tablets and react quickly to new trends.
"They have the panel makers there, the processor vendors, manufacturers," he said. "It's become a closed-off and high efficiency ecosystem."
A final factor has been the gradual shift in China away from knock-off devices toward the country's own brands. Many of the Shenzhen tablet manufacturers started off making iPad knock-offs – and truth be told, the majority of the local-brand tablets at Shenzhen's Huaqiangbei market are still white, iPad-esque devices.
But Ramos, for one, has been putting more effort into its own designs, such as a flinty-green 8-inch slate that it recently unveiled in collaboration with Intel.
"We want to build our own brand," said Mr. Wan. "We want to partner with international firms and learn to become a more global company."

I have been practicing zendoodles on some leaves and because I have been watching the Art Quilt Challenge I decided to make an "art quilt" wallhanging. I have been trying to post on the Art Quilt Challenge thread and for some reason it just will not work, so I thought I would post it here.
I highlighted the zendoodles with gold Lumiere paint because I didn't choose thread with a high enough contrast. Wendy, Susan and Linda asked how I did this, I really can't tell you that. I have been looking at sites and utube for the last week or so and practicing on paper until I got brave enough to try the FMQ. Surprisingly it was easier than I thought. Maybe because I am FMQing much slower and smaller than I usually do. Anyway, here is one of the papers I practiced on and photos of the wallhanging.
PS: I really like the Lumiere paints. Bought them last year at a quilt show but had never used them!

Tooling Update
Inertia Active Control Technology a Boon to HMC Productivity
Makino, Mason, OH, has introduced new horizontal machining center (HMC) technology dubbed Inertia Active Control (IAC). IAC provides improved productivity through direct-drive rotary-table optimization. By effectively reducing non-cut times resulting from table rotation, the technology gives manufacturers improved efficiency and profitability.
"Every second of non-cut time that can be eliminated from the machining process provides manufacturers with a step above the competition," says David Ward, Makino horizontal product line manager. "IAC technology provides that advantage by evaluating and optimizing the acceleration and deceleration settings on a per-pallet basis."
The foundation for IAC technology lies in Makino's direct-drive (DD) rotary-table design that provides inertia feedback from the B-axis motor to the machining center's control system. Makino's DD rotary table offers high-speed positioning capability while reducing B-axis complexity and eliminating backlash, caused by wear. Included in the table's design are cooling jackets that remove heat from the motor and table bearings, ensuring sustained dynamic accuracy. Its fully programmable axis with 0.0001-deg. resolution enables full four-axis contouring capability for complex part geometries. While acceleration and deceleration rates for standard rotary tables typically are set for maximum inertia and weight to ensure accuracy, IAC uses data from the DD rotary table to quickly evaluate and adjust acceleration and deceleration settings to optimal levels for the specific pallet condition.
IAC technology is available on Makino's nx line of HMCs. These 40-taper centers extend the capabilities of the a-series with a host of technologies for next-generation productivity, accuracy and reliability.

Chris Reeve Large Sebenza 21, 3.625" S35VN Blade, Titanium w/ Tamboti Inlaid - CRKSEB21LW
The Sebenza is 21 years old!
Who would have thought back in 1988 that Chris's titanium handle folder would become a legend in the industry! Constant attention to design details and an unwavering commitment to quality in every aspect of the knife has created the Sebenza as a hallmark of excellence. To mark this amazing milestone, we are planning to make some changes to the lineup of Sebenzas.
We are going to stop making almost all Regular profile Sebenzas. The profile on the Classic will change slightly and this version will be known as Sebenza 21.
The design change on Sebenza 21 gives a more pronounced chamfer on the pivot edge of the handle allowing the knife to be inserted more easily into a pocket or sheath. The engraving of "Classic MM" on the back of the Classic Sebenza will be eliminated, making differentiation of the two models easy! The blade shape remains the same.
Tamboti Wood Inlay
A polished S35VN blade and satin finish titanium handles enhance the wood inlay Sebenza 21. A gold thumb lug and spacer is chosen to coordinate with the color of the inlay.
Bridging the gap between hi-tech titanium and the organic feel of natural material is the Sebenza 21 with inlay. Each piece fits exactly into one of three pockets machined into the handle--two on the front and one on the back.
The fit of the inlay into the pocket is to extremely tight tolerance and the sections are retained with VHB™ (very high bonding) double sided tape. The inlays give a contoured feel to the handle and are as attractive as they are functional.
- Blade Material: S35VN Stainless Steel
- Blade Hardness: 58-59 RC
- Blade Length: 3.625" (92mm)
- Blade Thickness: 0.125" (3.175mm)
- Overall Length: 8.335" (212mm)
- Handle Material: Titanium with Tamboti Wood Inlay
- Weight: 4.7 oz (133g)
- Leather Pouch Included
- Handmade in the USA
UPC Code: 004439
Semi-Custom or Mid-Tech knives are knives produced by a process in which the designer has more direct--but not complete--involvement; parts of these knives may still have been made by others.
Leather is known for its durability and traditional appeal. When compared to Kydex it is preferred for its silence when bumped against other objects, as well as blade retention.
Developed by Chris Reeve, it functions like a liner lock but the lock is comprised of one of the handle scales. It's an extremely strong and easy to manipulate lock.
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
A tougher steel than S30V, it retains the excellent corrosive properties and ability to take an edge, but improves on the ability to hold that edge.
This product is USA born and raised.
Provides a traditional, natural look and feel to a modern tool. Wood absorbs shock well and is popular in axe handles.

Thought Revolution - by William Donius
Thought Revolution invites readers to unlock their whole brain to change the way they see themselves and find the truth in whatever challenges them. Encompassing twelve years of research, the book takes readers on an unexpected journey that will set them free-and it all begins with moving the pen from one hand to the other. The technique is called "intuitive" or "nondominant" hand writing and is the basis for this revolutionary approach to making lasting life changes. (Paragraph 2) Tapping the non dominant subconcious right brain through nondominant hand writing, or drawing, can act as a direct pipeline to one's inner truth, open up creative problem-solving abilities, and help people think outside the box. Others have reported improvements in relationships, reduction in stress, better physical health, discovery of hidden talents, deeper spiritual awareness, healing from trauma, breakthroughs in career, accessing inner wisdom, and connection with a higher power. (Paragraph 3) Inside Thought Revolution William A. Donius offers the science behind nondominant hand writing and teaches readers ow to incorporate nondominant hand writing in their own lives. Thought-provoking, easy-to-do exercises and prompts help readers connect mnore fully with the needs of their subconcious right brains and unlock their hidden genius.

Tron: Legacy finally has an official release date – Christmas 2010 – and I am a trying to tamp down my excitement. Look, I come from a time where one had to use a steam engine to play Combat. Tron blew into town at time when Disney was trying to get its groove back. The Black Hole (1979) and the highly underrated ghost tale The Watcher in the Woods (1980) had not revamping the brand the way it had hoped. Remember, The Little Mermaid was still seven years away.
Tron was expected to usher in a new direction for the mouse, However, with its modest box office success, accusations of "cheating" (via the use of computer technology still in its infancy) and mixed to terrible reviews, Tron seemed poised to become the Thank God It's Friday of the sci-fi film world.
Enter Tron's release on laser disc. I believe this was a game changer in some respects for sci-fi action films, more so than Ridley Scott playing footies with various cuts of Blade Runner. Seeing it on Laser Disc, with the visuals set to Wendy Carlos's dazzling synth work probably did more for the film than legions of Queer Studies papers deconstructing the homoerotic relationship of Clu and Tron, though the papers were highly entertaining and very much appreciated.
Because we can all use some respite, let's dish Tron. Are you intrigued? Disgusted by someone tampering with your childhood? Are you excited about seeing Bridges and Boxleitner back in action? Memories of the film? It's all game, provided it falls under the rubic of FLUFF, sci-fi films and such.
ETA: I really, really, really need a break from discussing Black female desirability.

Once the presents are unwrapped and the meals enjoyed, many will end the Christmas season with a hefty pile of holiday garbage waiting on the curb for pickup.
Once the presents are unwrapped and the meals enjoyed, many will end the Christmas season with a hefty pile of holiday garbage waiting on the curb for pickup.
Between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, the average American's household waste increases by more than 25 percent. Additional food waste, shopping bags, packaging, wrapping paper, bows and ribbons adds up to 1 million tons a week of garbage to the nation's landfills.
But all of the extra garbage doesn't have to head to the landfill. There are many ways you can recycle your Christmas this year, easing trash pickup and giving back to the Earth. You can recycle wrapping paper, boxes, electronics and even your Christmas tree.
Paul Miller, special assistant to the secretary of the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, said electronics recycling has grown over the years.
One of the earliest electronics recycling groups actually sprouted up in Baton Rouge. That group, the Louisiana Area Corporate Recycling Council, provides computers to schools, families and nonprofits. Visit their website at www.cacrc.com for details.
While it isn't illegal to dump electronics in landfills in Louisiana, solid waste officials encourage you to donate them. A computer, tablet, cellphone or laptop that seems outdated to you could be a boon for a less-fortunate family. And even older model computers have valuable hardware and metals that can be recycled and reused.
Clay Naquin, solid waste administrator for Terrebonne Parish, suggested using the website Earth911.com to find recycling locations. The website allows you to search by location to find retailers and other places that take recyclables.
Many businesses such as Best Buy accept old electronics for recycling for free or for a small fee. Lafourche Parish residents can also hold onto their old electronics until the spring, when Lafourche holds a household hazardous waste collection day, said Lafourche Parish solid waste administrator Jerome Danos.
Some agencies such as Goodwill will also accept donations of used working electronics.
If you have outgrown toys and clothing, consider donating them to groups such as St Vincent de Paul, the Salvation Army, Goodwill, Volunteers of America or other organizations that reuse them.
Terrebonne and Lafourche have recycling containers in locations across the two parishes. The large green bins can be used for discarded wrapping paper, envelopes, catalogues, newspapers, cardboard, plastic wrapping for new toys and food tins.
In Terrebonne, they can be found at:
Bayou Cane Fire Station, 6166 W. Main St.; Concord Shopping Center, 1238 St. Charles St.; Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center, 346 Civic Center Blvd.; American Legion Hall, 602 Legion Ave.; Little Caillou Fire Station, 5016 La. 56; East Houma Shopping Center/Bingo Hall, 425 Grand Caillou Road; Dularge Recreation Center, 1330 Dr. Beatrous Road; Southland Mall, 5953 Park Ave; and Bourg Fire Station, 4317 La. 24.
In Lafourche, the bins are at the Acadia Truck Plaza on the corner of St. Patrick Street and La. 308 in Thibodaux; at the Lafourche Parish Government office, 4876 La. 1, Mathews; and the South Lafourche Library, 1624 La. 308.
In Terrebonne Parish, residents can recycle their Christmas tree to help the wetlands. Lafourche's program, which was run by a private organization, was discontinued.
To participate, residents should place their Christmas trees out with their normal garbage pickup between Jan. 2 and Jan. 8. You can also drop off your tree at 263 Ashland Landfill Road, 651 Isle of Cuba Road in Schriever or 160 Crochetville Road in Montegut.
The Christmas trees are placed into retention cradles along the Intracoastal Waterway near the Mandalay National Wildlife Refuge. The trees are used to provide a wave-break, which can reduce erosion in marshes.
The trees also act as a filter, collecting sediment behind the cribs in an effort to build new land.
Only real, green trees will be accepted. Flocked trees, artificial trees and trees with tinsel, decorations or tree stands cannot be used.
If your trash is bound for the garbage, make sure lightweight garbage like wrapping paper and cardboard is secured firmly inside bags in your garbage bin.
There will be no garbage collection on Christmas Day or New Year's Day.
"There will be a lot to collect, but we will work until we get it all," Danos said.

At this rate, garbage collectors might be happy getting a lump of coal.
Consumer Reports has released its annual survey on holiday tipping, and, again, garbage collectors rank at the bottom as the least-tipped service-provider.
Only 7 percent of Americans give their collection workers cash, check or a gift card, and only 3 percent gave them a holiday gift. In other words, 90 percent of Americans give nothing to their garbage collectors, according to the survey, which polled 2,028 adults via phone.
Last year's survey showed 88 percent of Americans leaving nothing for their garbage workers.
The tips from those 10 percent who remember collection workers averaged a $20 value, according to the survey.
Housecleaners were the providers tipped most often, with 53 percent of Americans giving them cash, check or gift card, and 15 percent giving them a gift. Average total value of their tips was $50.
Teachers (47 percent tipped) and hairdressers (46 percent) were also among the most tipped.
After garbage collectors, the least-tipped service providers included mail carriers (21 percent) and lawn-care workers (25 percent).
The survey also revealed that about a quarter of Americans don't tip at all, ever.

NY Mayor Bloomberg to speak here
David Letterman may joke about his diminutive size, but New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has just made a giant impression on the folks at the Denver Scholarship Foundation by agreeing to speak at a fund-raising dinner taking place in the fall.
InvestED: An Evening with Michael Bloomberg is set for Oct. 21 at the Hyatt Regency Convention Center; Dr. Dean Prina is chairing the dinner event with Arlene Hirschfeld. Tim Marquez, the DSF's cofounder, will head the corporate committee.
"Mayor Bloomberg rarely leaves New York City, so this is a real coup for Denver Scholarship Foundation," Prina notes.

Two-year-old Scooter is a big, gentle pussycat who is really happiest in a very quiet and caring environment. He"s sweet but cautious, and he is especially sensitive to loud noises. But once you spend some gentle one-on-one time with this loving lad, he will respond with a big purr and roll over to have his tummy rubbed. Scooter has lived outside but would adjust well to being an indoor cat. He would be a wonderful companion for a human senior citizen who understands his need for quiet. Another gentle nonthreatening cat in his new family might be OK.

ok, now I am confused. seems like half of the Rpgfaners are on Ultros some on Hyperion others else where. Where are the most located? I was able to get into Ultros also and made Arrowny Assegai there as well
So a silly question for Tenchi, as you're probably the only person here with knowledge of it, but is there any visual differences between the artifact armor and the relic armor for jobs? Been jonesing for some of that relic armor but if it's the same color and design and all....I'd be kind of disappointed.

I'm playing on Hyperion with a handful of other RPGFanners (staff and members). From what I understand, the Ultros group is more end-game content focused.
Anyone a bard? I'll have my quest soon and was wondering if I should focus on support/ healing for dungeons, or damage..

A public-private partnership in New York is bringing interactive smart screens to the streets to support open data, citizen engagement and a vibrant digital community.
City24/7, together with Cisco, LG Electronics and New York's Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications, is installing more than 250 smart screens in the five boroughs.
The company's interactive platform incorporates touch, voice and audio-technology, providing information from open government programs, local businesses and citizens via connected sensors, monitors and intelligent data tools.
Cities are beginning to explore processing data coming from Internet-connected devices such as video cameras, parking sensors and air quality monitors to increase public safety, improve the environment and better the quality of life for citizens.
The "Internet of Everything" system combines the power of smart infrastructure with the ubiquity of smart phones to bring broadcasts and customized information to citizens, say its creators.
"City24/7 can even protect city inhabitants by alerting authorities citywide through intelligent networks when resources are needed in a specific area," said Tom Touchet, president and CEO of City24/7, in an April Cisco blog post. "Since it's interactive, the network is also learning what those citizens want and need, providing dense analytic data. These insights can be used by city managers to plan new programs and improve the efficiency of current systems, with the goal of making cities more convenient, comfortable and thriving."
The smart-screen kiosks feature hyper-local information, such as the arrival time of the next train uptown to the closest farmers' market. They also allow the city to push information to citizens.
"The ultimate goal of City24/7 is to power two-way, real-time communication among city governments, businesses, and citizens to enable Smart Cities of the future," said Cisco's Jeff Frazier and City27/7's Touchet in a paper on the technology.
Roll out of the screens began in late 2012, with the conversion of rarely-used telephone booths in and around Union Square into the LCD smart screens, providing information such as neighborhood news, events, entertainment listings and local deals.
Additionally, the smart screens also provide free Wi-Fi access. They are equipped with near-field communications and Bluetooth, and they are handicap accessible – physical, visual and auditory – and have multiple language capabilities.
Once all screens are installed, Cisco and City24/7 hope to expand the program to more than a dozen U.S. and international cities.
According to Cisco research, over 50 billion devices will be connected to the Internet by 2020.

News Corp. shareholder protest votes defeated (Update)
(AP)—News Corp. managed to avoid rowdy protests at its annual shareholders meeting Tuesday, but that didn't stop stockholders from voicing complaints about the grip on the company held by founder and CEO Rupert Murdoch and his family.
Despite the opposition, the News Corp. board said three shareholder proposals to dilute the Murdochs' control were defeated by a majority of voting shares.
Only Class B shareholders could vote and the Murdoch family controls nearly 40 percent of them. That means it has a dominant say in the operations of the company, which owns media properties such as Fox News Channel and The Wall Street Journal, even though its stake amounts to 13 percent of outstanding shares.
Some shareholders said they were upset at the lack of management accountability for the British phone hacking scandal that erupted last year, and registered significant protest votes.
This year's gathering was more subdued, however, than a year ago, when protesters assembled outside following revelations made public in June 2011 that the company's British tabloid News of the World regularly hacked into the phones of celebrities and crime victims in the hunt for scoops.
Still, Rupert Murdoch had a couple of testy exchanges with shareholders during the 81-minute meeting Tuesday on the 20th Century Fox movie studio lot in Los Angeles.
"There are plenty of media stocks to buy if they don't like this one," said Murdoch, who chaired the meeting and had just 3.5 percent of votes cast against his re-election. "When you buy the stock you know what the company is. If you don't like it, don't buy the stock."
The shareholder proposal that got the most support—at 30 percent of the votes cast—would have mandated that the board chairman be independent, which would have stripped Murdoch of the title. The proposal was supported by about two-thirds of the votes cast when excluding the Murdoch family's stake.
"While Mr. Murdoch claims that the interests of his family are in line with those of all shareholders, this vote proves that most independent shareholders would disagree," said Julie Tanner, an assistant director at the motion's co-sponsor, Christian Brothers Investment Services Inc.
Meanwhile, 28 percent were cast in support of eliminating the division between voting and non-voting shares. That also was about two-thirds of the non-Murdoch votes.
Laura Shaffer Campos, director of shareholder activities for The Nathan Cummings Foundation, said it was important to call for a change in corporate governance even if it went unheeded.
"Even if the very structure that we're trying to change prevents us from actually changing anything, they still need to hear that their shareholders really think this is an issue," she said.
All the New York-based company's director nominees were approved, although several faced significant protest votes. Rupert Murdoch's son Lachlan and opera singer Natalie Bancroft both had 20 percent of votes cast against their re-election to the board. James Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch's son who has faced criticism for his handling of the British phone hacking scandal, had 16.3 percent of votes cast against him. James Murdoch is the company's deputy COO.
News Corp.'s widely traded Class A shares closed the day up 41 cents, or 1.7 percent, at $24.77 after the meeting concluded.

Here at Food52, we love recipes -- but do we always use them? Of course not. Because once you realize you don't always need a recipe, you'll make your favorite dishes a lot more often.
Today: Food52's Assistant Editor Marian Bull proves that the perfect grilled cheese is within reach -- and you don't need a recipe to make one.
A perfectly executed grilled cheese sandwich relies on a number of factors, the most important being: Textural contrast, cheese that melts, and avoiding burnt toast at all costs. Also, a lot of butter.
More: We love butter so much we created a whole Provisions collection around it.
Here is the biggest problem with grilled cheese making: Sometimes your cheese does not melt as quickly as you'd like, so you either get hard, cold cheese surrounded by perfectly golden bread, or melted cheese hiding behind charred, black bread that you then have to scrape into the sink. There is no kitchen sound more shameful than this.
But lucky you! I have a no-fail way to make grilled cheese sandwiches at home, and it yields both melty cheese and a buttery, golden exterior. It also allows you to serve multiple hot sandwiches at a time, which means if you want to have, say, a grilled cheese party, you don't have to draw straws to decide who gets to eat the only warm one.
How to Make a Perfect Grilled Cheese Sandwich in 5 Steps
1. Before you get started, set yourself up for success: Slice your bread, shred whatever cheese you'll be using, and bring your butter to room temperature. Preheat your oven to 350° F and preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.
Generously butter two thick slices of bread. I like crusty, chewy bread (like a sourdough or levain) without too many big holes, but if you grew up on Wonderbread and Kraft singles, well, I'm not going to stand in your way. You want an even smear of butter that covers the whole slice -- this makes for a crisp, golden, flavorful exterior. If your butter is unsalted, sprinkle a bit of salt over each buttered side.
2. Lay one piece of bread, butter-side down, in your hot pan. The butter should sizzle, but not angrily -- you don't want your pan so hot that it burns your bread in under two minutes. Top the bread with shredded cheese; I use a mix of Gruyère and cheddar. Use whatever cheeses you like, but remember that melty cheeses should dominate, and something sharp like cheddar will balance out all of the fat and general unctuousness happening here.
You can also customize your filling here: try dashandbella's pickled jalapeños or sautéed mushrooms. Some people swear by a smear of mustard; I have never tried this, and maybe never will. I'm lazy.
3. Lay down your second piece of bread, buttered side up, and press down with a spatula. You don't want to flatten the sandwich completely, but a good press will help your cheese melt, your butter sear, and your bread smoosh in a pleasant way.
4. After a minute or so, begin to check the color on your bottom slice. Once it's nice and brown, flip everything over, holding the sandwich together with your other hand to keep it from falling apart. Press down some more with your spatula, and cook until the bottom slice looks like the top slice.
5. Here's the kicker! Once you're happy with the color of your crust, finish your sandwich on a baking sheet in the oven. If you're making more than one, use the oven as a way to keep everything warm. Let your sandwiches bake for at least five minutes, or until their cheese is completely melted.
Slice in half, and enjoy immediately. Remember that tomato soup is never a bad idea. And you'll want some napkins at the ready.

Sorry, didn't mean to leave you hanging. I wanted to let you know that I did not get a chance to tool around with it on the last investigation. Got a little intense and I wasn't worried about EMF at that point. I will however be pulling out all the stops this weekend. I'll talk to a couple different teams as well.
No worries about the delay! Thanks though, I really appreciate all your help. I've been playing around with my cellsensor, trying to familiarize myself with it. From the little I know about it, I'm starting to think that it should be set on HIGH sensitivity (which measures 0-5 mg). When it spikes past 5, you could then switch it to NORMAL sensitivity to see how much higher than 5 mg the reading actually is. For example, IF (and I know that is a huge IF) paranormal activity is associated with 2-7 mg, and you get a reading of 7, that would be off the scale on the high setting. So you could then switch it to normal to see if the needle hovers a little under 1 (10 mg). Does that make sense??

Posted 10 October 2007 - 11:37 PM
Hey no problem. From playing around with it, I think I've figured it out...I think I was right with my last post (ie leave it on high sensitivity so it'll measure between 0-5 mG, and switch it to normal sensitivity if it goes above 5 to see just how high it really is). But by all means if you or anyone else reading this finds differently, feel free to correct me!
You know what I realized I forgot all about this post. I'm sorry to leave you hanging. I really am stuck on how to answer you. Sorry bout that. If I find out anything I will def. let you know. I just don't use this meter a lot so I don't know for sure. Oh and it seems like I may have been using it wrong so now I am at a lose. Sorry.

Voorhees, NJ -- Another day, another key player removed from the lineup.
The Philadelphia Flyers placed defenseman Braydon Coburn on injured reserve and recalled defenseman Oliver Lauridsen from the American Hockey League.
According to Flyers GM Paul Holmgren, Coburn is out indefinitely after suffering a separated left shoulder. He departed Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the New York Islanders in the second period and did not return.
Lauridsen, 23, will see his first NHL action when the Orange and Black host Boston on Saturday. In 59 games with Adirondack, he has collected one goal and six points with 77 penalty minutes.
The 6-foot-6, 220-pound native of Denmark has appeared in 126 games for the Phantoms, scoring four times and adding nine assists. He played for St. Cloud State of the WCHA from 2008-11.
In other roster news, defenseman Andrej Meszaros -- who left Tuesday's loss to the New York Rangers with a recurrence of a left-shoulder injury originally suffered in late January -- will have surgery to repair that damage on April 2.
It is expected to be a season-ending procedure.
Meszaros has only seen action in 11 games this season, recording only two assists. He left Tuesday's home loss to the Rangers with the issue and hasn't played since.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Derek Jeter was a big hit from the start in his final All-Star game.
Batting leadoff for the American League, the 40-year-old shortstop for the New York Yankees seized the moment Tuesday night by hitting a double down the right-field line on the second pitch from Adam Wainwright.
Jeter crossed the plate moments later for the game's first run a few minutes later.
The double, which was a classic, opposite-field liner by Jeter, raised his All-Star batting average to a robust .462 — 12 hits in 26 at-bats.
In the top of the first inning, Jeter made a slick diving stop on Andrew McCutchen's sharp groundball up the middle. Jeter got to his feet and fired an on-target throw to first base, but the fleet-footed McCutchen was too fast, beating it out for a single.
This was the 14th time Jeter was picked as an All-Star. He's set to retire after this season.

The Aldrich Alert
A Publication of the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty
by Gary Aldrich - Volume 2, Issue 5
This article appeared on WorldNetDaily.com on Thursday, January 24, 2002.
The other night I attended a dinner gathering of the "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy."
I didn't know I was going to be with this controversial group until the "MC" announced that's who we really are. Of course Cal Thomas was kidding. But, I was reminded of who Hillary thought we were and why such a label marginalized us.
I came to this event looking forward to an evening of solid evidence that there is, indeed, a "Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy." These like-minded zealots are enabled in large part by a biased mainstream media characterized by dishonesty and intolerance for the political views of others.
I dined and laughed with nearly a thousand nicely dressed, politely behaved honest overachievers who came at the invitation of Brent Bozell. We were at his Media Research Center's "Dishonors Awards" where we would "Roast the Most Outrageously Biased Liberal Reporters of the Year!"
Video clip after video clip was played to the appreciative audience. Every goofy liberal's biased blooper proved that Bernard Goldberg was right-on in his book, "Bias." Most don't need Mr. Goldberg to tell them the media is biased but I'm glad he's out there for the moderates who have a hard time deciding anything, in spite of all the evidence.
CBS's Dan Rather won top honors for declaring that: "A man could lie about any number of things, and still be considered honest." Rather made these comments in 2001 after Bill O'Reilly asked him how he could seriously consider Bill Clinton an honest man.
In his taped conversation, Rather admitted that he himself lied from time to time apparently whenever it suited him. How is anybody supposed to know when Rather is lying, or when he's telling the truth? Remember that CBS allows him to do this.
It doesn't really matter. The majority of Americans who remain well informed know they cannot trust the usual flacks sent out to defend and support dishonest liberals. Speaking of flacks, recently John McCaslin, my favorite Washington Times reporter, revealed that George Stephanopoulos' memoir, "All Too Human," is on bookstores' remainder tables, selling for $1. Apparently there are plenty of them at this price. Hurry down.
One of my children brought McCaslin's piece to my attention because they witnessed that day in 1996 when Stephanopoulos called their daddy a "pathological liar" on network TV. He got away with that and now earns seven figures on ABC as a journalist pretending "news."
My book is still being sold has never appeared on any remainder table, and never will. Why? Because truth is still a best seller.
But for some, truth is not enough. There are millions of moderates who sit on the fence and say they would embrace conservatives and truth, if only we didn't "appear" so extreme. We're not extreme we're normal, and polls show the majority of Americans agree with our view.
For my money, an extremist would be somebody who remained undecided, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that liberals are dishonest and embrace a bankrupted political ideology. It is not in dispute that they are also power hungry, morally corrupt, and unethical when it comes to government and business.
Can so-called moderates be considered the real extremists in the face of irrefutable evidence that more liberalism is wrong, wrong, and wrong for this country? To remain "undecided" in the face of all the evidence is, at least, a case of extreme denial.
A few great organizations like the Media Research Center watch the mainstream media very closely for daily evidence of real dishonesty. The pile of video and audio evidence just grows and grows.
So, look at the track record of the liberals, and then weigh what they have brought us. Then, look at the track record of the conservatives.
For example, who's for a strong national defense? Conservatives! Who's always cutting the Pentagon's budget? Liberals!
Who tolerates, even celebrates the meanest, grossest, crudest depiction of human behavior on the TV? Name a shock-jock that isn't a liberal. Baby boomer liberals, old enough to know better, still think bathroom humor is cool. Liberals are forever obsessed with sex, which may indicate at least to a thinking person the true depth of a liberal's immaturity.
And, what group wants to legalize drugs, kill more babies, "inform" our children about Gay sex, open the borders, coddle criminals, and disarm honest taxpayers who simply want the right to defend themselves?
Who wants to take more of your money to pay for all of this silly garbage?
Who promotes the notion of cultural diversity without a scintilla of evidence that there is another place on the face of the globe better to live in than the United States?
Who's raising a fuss right now over the "civil rights" of the Taliban prisoners currently held in Cuba? And speaking of Cuba, who promotes normalized diplomatic relations with Castro's police state, an island prison where citizens are treated like cattle, and worse?
What political group had eight years of warnings that a very serious terrorist threat was headed our way and had the power to stop it but did not?
Who continually fans the flames of racial and class hatred? Who takes splinter groups of people, like "animal rights advocates," and blows them up into media-created powerhouses by giving them unlimited airtime, simply because they "lean left?"
And who, at the very same time, totally ignores the millions of productive citizens who have more important concerns on their minds, like raising a family? Who sneers at women who choose to stay at home and raise their own children? Who constantly degrades men and fathers and trivializes us as so many "Leave It To Beaver" and "Father Knows Best" morons?
The answer to all of the above questions is liberals!
This is an election year, and the question looming large is, will Americans make good choices, or will they once again choose shock-government by electing more liberals?
Our hats are off to Brent Bozell and his wonderful staff at the Media Research Center. Of course they catch liberals in constant lies that's like shooting fish in a barrel. But, they get "extra credit" for forcing themselves to do the ugly business of watching and listening to the real pathological liars those dishonest narcissistic bores who get paid millions of dollars to create and repeat the outrageous lies used to nurture and protect their "Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy."

text: Membership helps you get the most out of Co-op Energy. Did you know that Co-operative Energy are the only supplier to be owned by our customers? Sharing the profit Our members decide what share of the profits is given to the members and what share is invested back into the business. They also decide what share is given to the local community. How points are awarded The share of profits that are returned to members is based on how many points they have accumulated as a customer. Points are awarded pro rata to money spent and for specific purposes, such as sending regular meter readings. Members decide on the value of a point, depending on our profitability and prospects. Directors In addition to receiving a share of the profits our members also elect directors to the board of Midcounties. The directors are responsible for the general control and direction of the society. Broadly they ensure the Society's affairs are conducted within the Co-operative values and principles, that effective management teams, systems and controls are in place, that costs are minimised and profits are maximised and determining the societies profit distribution. Profit is distributed in 3 main ways; shared with members, invested back in the business, given to local communities. Our members are regularly given the opportunity to tell us what is important to them and we listen and act on their comments. Becoming a member When you are a customer of The Co-operative Energy you don't have to become a member of Midcounties but we think you'll be missing out if you don't. Membership costs just £1 and in return you will receive points. Dependent on how much you have spent with the society, we will distribute a share of the profits based on how many points you have accumulated. You can use your profit share in one of four ways: Vouchers that can be redeemed in any of our stores in payment for goods. Crediting it to your energy account. Crediting it to your share account with Midcounties, where you will earn interest. Donating it to a charity nominated by Midcounties. Because we feel it is so beneficial you will be encouraged to join as a member when you sign up to The Co-operative Energy. If you don't then we may send you a reminder from time to time about the benefits of being a member (unless you instruct us not to). To keep it simple you do not have to pay for your membership upfront. It will be deducted from your first Share of the Profits. If you choose, you can stop being a member at any time, so you will never be tied into any type of contract. For full terms and conditions click here. When you do become a member, we will send you a membership card that you will need to collect points when you shop in Co-operative stores or online. Most Co-operative societies in the UK give points but there are still some smaller societies that operate outside the national points system. We will keep a record of the points you're accumulating which you can view online at any time. The amount of profit that is distributed depends on the business performance and the board's view of future trading prospects. To find out more about Membership or to join click here.

Timers/timeouts in multi-threaded event-loops
The traditional way to integrate timeout handling (or timers) in (single-threaded) event loops was to just pass the appropriate timeout value to the select/poll/epoll syscall. While this works fine for single-threaded event loops it doesn't really work for multi-threaded event loops (unless you are happy to use a dedicated thread for timeout handling, etc).
So what's the alternative for the fully multi-threaded case? The most obvious option appears to be POSIX (realtime) timers (see timer_create). Although these were originally specified to use Unix signals for notifications, most modern Unix implementations provide an alternative notification mechanism that better integrates with a multi-threaded design. On Linux, there is a timerfd_create syscall to create a special timer file descriptor (which then integrates nicely with epoll) and FreeBSD/NetBSD provide special support for timers in kqueue/kevent.
For some work-in-progress code on how to implement this on Linux, head over to my nginetd project.

Taiwan's chapter of Lions Clubs International (LCI) has unexpectedly been given another new temporary name: "Taiwan Area, MD 300."
At Wednesday's opening of the the LCI annual meeting in Osaka, Japan, the chapter was unexpectedly introduced by the new name, rather than just "MD 300," the name LCI had agreed to use temporarily after it scrapped the name "ROC Lions Club," allegedly under Chinese pressure.
"MD300" is the chapter's district number.
A leading member of the chapter told the Taipei Times yesterday that the new name was unacceptable.
"`Taiwan Area' is just a temporary name for us until the dispute over the Taiwan chapter's name is settled." said Danny Hsu (徐明德), former chairman of the chapter.
Hsu said that the dispute over the name and flag would be discussed at an informal meeting between representatives from LCI, Taiwan's chapter and China in August or September.
When asked if the Taiwan chapter would accept "Taiwan Area, MD 300" as the the club's permanent name, Hsu said "no."
"Although `Taiwan Area' sounds more flexible than the name `China Taiwan' given by LCI, the term implies somehow that Taiwan is a area of China, which is unacceptable," Hsu said yesterday.
Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Katherine Chang (
Chang said the ministry would continue to offer assistance to the Taiwan chapter in negotiations on its name and flag.
LCI changed the Taiwan chapter's name in April from "ROC Lions Club" to "China Taiwan Lions Club," without consulting the chapter, after chapters from Guangdong and Shenzhen in China joined.
Since the two new Chinese chapters are named "China Guangdong" and "China Shenzhen," the name " China Taiwan" would suggest it was a part of China, the Taiwan chapter said.
The design of the Taiwan chapter's flag was also changed from Taiwan's national flag with a LCI logo on it to a plum flower on a red, white and blue tricolor.
After protests and negotiations with LCI, the Taiwan chapter agreed on the temporary name "MD 300" and the tricolor for the Osaka meeting.
However, on Tuesday, more than 600 members of the chapter protested outside the convention venue, chanting "Taiwan-Yes, China Taiwan-No" to complain about the change.

Time To Move From zAAPs to zIIPs?

Prompted by Troy Coleman's article zEC12 and zIIP Processors I thought I'd write about how I see the future for zAAPs. First, his article does a good job of covering the area. So I recommend you read it. Troy mentions the "zAAP on zIIP" function - which allows zAAP-eligible work to run on a zIIP. It's not news and it's a good piece of function: It means you can fill zIIPs more readily, making them... [More]

EU's Tusk says 'no deal' after Brexit dinner with Cameron
European Council president and U.K. prime minister fail to agree in dinner on membership renegotiation.
Tusk, who had hoped to present the proposals to the other 27 EU countries on Monday, ahead of a Brexit summit on February 18, left the dinner in Downing Street after two hours telling reporters: No deal. He then tweeted: No deal yet. Intensive work in next 24 [hours] crucial.
Shortly afterwards, Cameron tweeted: Good meeting with @eucopresident, who has agreed to another 24 hours of talks before publishing the draft U.K. renegotiation text.
A diplomat involved in the negotiations said they decided to try to fix the remaining issues on Monday after consulting French President François Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel on details regarding welfare in the U.K. for EU migrants.
Tusk wants to see where the member states are, said the diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity.
It was not immediately clear what was holding up progress, but Cameron had been expected to press Tusk at the meeting to restrict benefits for EU migrants to the U.K. for the next seven years, according to officials involved in the negotiations.
