Introducing the world's first floating outdoor living room, an idea so playful and inviting it could have come only from DEDON. Conceived as an extension of the iconic SWINGREST collection, this unique hanging lounge system, the creation of acclaimed French-Romanian designer Daniel Pouzet, includes "SwingMe", a basket-like single-seater, and "SwingUs", a comfortably cosy loveseat for two. For Pouzet, the concept of the floating outdoor living room began with the observation that nothing in the garden is static except the furniture. By suspending that furniture from a tree or terrace structure, the designer could give it movement, introducing the dimension of time while creating the perfect backdrop for what he calls 'scenes of life'. With Pouzet's original SWINGREST, those scenes played out on a single, family-size hanging lounger. But with the latest additions to the collection, the entire garden or patio area comes to life. While DEDON has always been a platform for bringing people together, the floating outdoor living room takes that tradition to another level—above ground! Though significantly smaller than the original SWINGREST, the SwingMe single-seater and SwingUs loveseat share some of its most distinctive features, including extra-wide strands of DEDON Fiber woven through their basket-like aluminum frames. Diaphanous canopies, available as accessories, give both pieces the luxuriously intimate quality of tiny rooms. Perfect for one person, SwingMe has all the shapeliness and irresistible charm of the original SWINGREST, but on a much cozier scale. Large enough to envelop the user, allowing him or her to get comfortable in any number of positions, it features a wraparound backrest, expertly shaped and fitted to create a spacious comfort zone. Designed for two to swing together with ease, but long enough for a single user to snuggle into a lying position, the SwingUs loveseat retains the same profile as SwingMe while introducing a longer, more-sofa like shape to the collection. It too features a wrap-around backrest that envelops users in cosy comfort. Playfulness and thoughtful attention to detail extend to all aspects of SwingMe and SwingUs, even those hidden from view. Lift the seat cushions, for example, and discover a hand-woven support consisting of four strands of fiber, each a different shape, texture and hue, their weave so complex that it appears effortlessly random. Available in a choice of Chalk or Natural and enlivened by a richly textured and colorful array of luxurious cushion fabric options, the extended SWINGREST family, now comprising an entire floating outdoor living room, is truly the embodiment of the DEDON philosophy of living—open-hearted, welcoming and just plain fun. A GROWING FAMILY OF ICONIC LOUNGERS With its gracious lines, generous proportions and inviting personality, the SWINGREST lounger has already established itself as a DEDON classic, perfect for bringing friends and loved ones together in luxurious comfort. Now, noted French-romanian designer Daniel Pouzet has extended the SWINGREST concept to include smaller, more intimate pieces with the same irresistible charm, iconic appeal and thoughtful attention to detail. Each new member of the SWINGREST family shares the original's organic curves, basket-like construction and extra-wide DEDON fiber in a choice of chalk or natural, allowing users to create a SWINGREST lounge experience tailored to their needs. Perfect for one, swingme is a hanging single-seater with a wrap-around backrest, expertly shaped and fitted, that envelops users in a spacious comfort zone. A standing version, the SWINGREST lounge chair, comes with an elegant rotating base. Designed for two to swing together in cosy comfort, the SwingUs love seat retains the profile of SwingMe while introducing a longer, more sofa-like shape to the collection. It too is available in a standing version, the SWINGREST 2-seater. A shapely footstool with rotating base completes the collection, while options include a canopy for SwingUs and a choice of suspension methods for SwingMe and SwingUs, allowing users either to spin or to swing back and forth. As with the original SWINGREST, carefully considered details characterize all new members of the family. Lift any seat cushion, for example, and discover a hand-woven support consisting of four types of fiber, each a different shape, texture and hue, in a weave so complex as to appear effortlessly random. That's SWINGREST — playful yet refined, spacious yet intimate, and now available in a range of shapes and sizes that make it ideal for swinging, swiveling or just sitting still in the outdoor living room of your dreams. Colors: Natural / Chalk
At the end of the `80's, former professional Bayern Munich footballer, Bobby Dekeyser, decided to develop high quality outdoor furniture that could stand up to wind and weather.

For a variety of reasons, but higher clock certainly helps -- it would probably have been faster at equivalent clock anyway. Now that I've "answered", let me tell you why you should't believe me and what you should actually do to answer your own question. There is a standard litany we like to chant on this list: "Your Mileage May Vary" "A benchmark in hand is worth any number of anecdotal reports" "The best benchmark is your own application" "What do you plan to do with it?" "It depends..." "In particular, it depends on your application (mix), its memory and disk and network requirements, the topology and type of your network, the communication and memory access pattern used by your application (mix), the compiler and library used, and a few dozen other variable major and minor, which is why nobody is going to tell you one is always better than the other even if >>they<< think it is true..." "And then there is the cost -- the REAL question is which one has the better cost-benefit, not which one is the cheapest or fastest independently. Ask yourself the question -- with a fixed budget to spend, which architecture lets me get the most done in the least time." So if you like, I wouldn't be doing you a favor by telling you >>definitely<< the opteron only partly because it might not be true. If you believed me (because I sound so glib and because you don't know that AMD once sent me a cool tee-shirt and Intel hasn't, although I do have a pair of these cool little contamination-suited Intel dude keychains that come close) then you might be tempted to skip the CORRECT cluster engineering step(s) of: a) Study your application (mix) -- figure out in at least general terms its (their) communication patterns, its (their) memory requirements (size and access pattern), its (their) CPU requirements. Some applications are "I/O bound" -- run at a speed determined by the access speed of disk, for example. Some applications are "memory bound" -- they spend all of their time fetching data from memory, relatively little on actually doing something to it. Some applications (especially parallel cluster applications) are "network bound" and run at a rate that is determined by the latency or bandwidth of a network connection, further complicated in the case of real parallel code by the communication PATTERNS which can cause bottlenecks outside of the system altogether. Some applications (the happiest ones, I tend to think:-) run at a rate that is limited by CPU clock, clock, clock and nothing but clock, although different CPU architectures (e.g. Xeon and Opteron, 32 or 64 bit) have a different BASE performance at any given clock. b) If at all possible, and it nearly always is possible, beg, borrow, steal, buy, or rent a system or two in your competing architectures and run YOUR CODE compiled with YOUR PLANNED COMPILER on those systems and just measure its performance. This is actually a whole lot easier than the stuff in step a) and a lot more likely to be accurate, but I still don't advise skipping a). If you are planning on buying more than a handful of systems, it is actually often worth your while to >>buy<< one of each of two or three or even four candidate system, test them, and then buy the other 127 or however many nodes you plan to put in your cluster of the winner, instead of buying 128 of the wrong kind. You can recycle the losers as servers, really powerful desktops, whatever. A really good vendor will often loan you systems (or network access to systems) to do this testing. A really good compiler vendor (e.g. pathscale) will even/often lend you a compiler for a trial period to do the testing. Or there may be list humans who own a system who will set up a trial account for you -- it's a pretty friendly list;-) c) Don't lock yourself in to only Dells (or any single distributer) while looking over systems. I personally do not dislike Dell, although I know people that do. Their hardware is not the most reliable that I've ever used -- far from it, actually -- but their service plans tend to be very good, their cost is reasonable, and they aren't linux-averse although I think that they're still working on becoming actively linux-friendly. However, there are a number of other tier 1 and tier 2 vendors you should be considering with hardware that is as good or better (in my opinion MUCH better) and with equally attractive prices and service deals. IBM, for example, is also linux-friendly and tends to make excellent if gold-plated hardware. Penguin Computing is my own personal favorite, largely because with the exception of one DOA system out of a good size stack of Altus's we've gotten (no doubt the one that "fell off the truck" and likely not Penguin's fault) I have yet to see an Altus fail in harness. Seriously. Pretty extraordinary, really, given that they run at full load pretty much 24x7 for as long as years at this point. I've heard that their service is really good -- maybe one day I'll have a chance to find out...:-). Penguin will almost certainly let you prototype on their systems d) When you've done all your research above, then DO THE COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS. If your application is network bound, don't worry so much about system clock and speed, worry about getting a really high speed cluster network to match (which is expensive, so you may want to get CHEAPER SLOWER nodes if the app isn't CPU bound anyway). If your application is memory bound, you may want to skip the dual cores and get two single cores or quad single cores -- otherwise you might just be using two cores at a time while the other cores are waiting in line to get at memory, wasting all the money you spent on the dual cores in the first place. If your applications is disk bound then look more closely at disk and less at CPU -- what kind of bus, what kind of disk subsystem, what are the bottlenecks (per system) and the costs of minimizing them. As you can hopefully now see, the RIGHT question to have asked isn't which of two particular systems out of twenty on the market is "best" in some amorphous way, it is which of the twenty systems in the two thousand possible ways of configuring them with network and disk and memory and CPU and compiler will get the most work done for your investment of a fixed amount of money. Answer that, and then make your purchase with confidence. I'm sure that other list-humans have experiences or suggestions to share here. If you are very unsure of your abilities to carry out the list of chores above, there are at least 2 or 3 professional cluster consultants on the list who would probably help you for a moderate fee -- ask them to contact you offline if you are interested as they generally won't spam the list beyond maybe letting you know that they exist while helping to answer your original question. They can do anything from helping you with the prototyping and analysis to provide you with a cost-competitive turnkey cluster, depending on your needs and cluster management skills. I myself provide the kind of dear-abby advice above on-list and charge only beer (should we ever meet). Mind you, at this point if I ever actually received the beer due me according to this rule, I would die in a gutter somewhere inside six months with my liver in complete failure, so it is probably just as well that I generally don't go to cluster meetings and so forth...;-) rgb -- Robert G.

The process of the Eagles hiring Tom Gamble as their vice president of player personnel took longer than he hoped, but the former 49ers personnel man said the time was right this year.
Gamble said there were several reasons why he wasn't able to join the Eagles a year ago, but that his rare mid-offseason jump made sense this time. He interviewed with general manager Howie Roseman about the job formerly held by Colts GM Ryan Grigson last year, but was able to talk his way out of the 49ers for what amounted to a lateral move.
"The timing wasn't right [last year] for a lot of different reasons, some professional, some family," Gamble said, via Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News. "Then this whole thing came up again. I have enough relationship with Howie, enough dialogue. Living out in Pac 12 country, I've got a lot of respect for Chip Kelly … I've been in and out of his [Oregon] building, he's been in and out of [the 49ers'] building, I think he's a hell of a football coach."
"We chatted again, and you know what, it was time. I was real excited about it. Again, I wasn't looking to go anywhere; I was in a great situation with some great people … as good as it gets in this business."
The primary lure for Gamble was a return home. His father Harry was the Eagles president in the 1980s when the son got into the family business.
"It's Philadelphia. That means something," Gamble said. "It's a little bit different, this thing. There's not a lot of movement, not a lot of opportunity. I didn't know when it would come up again, and I was ecstatic to come back."
Gamble indicated that the 49ers were hesitant to let him leave a year ago, but agreed that if the opportunity presented itself again, they'd give him a chance.
Gamble interviewed for other GM jobs, but even though he lacks that title in Philadelphia, he'll have significant input. Roseman doesn't have the classic personnel evaluation background, and with Kelly having no NFL experience, getting Gamble on board is a solid move for the organization.

Tens of thousands of Egyptians are gathering in Cairo's Tahrir Square, angry at events of the past few days and over the likelihood that Hosni Mubarak's last Prime Minister, Ahmed Shafiq, may have just won the presidency.
The votes are still being counted with results expected Thursday. The Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi and Mr. Shafiq have both declared themselves the victor. Who won? Who knows? But what's certain is that Egypt's Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) has declared its intention to maintain control of Egypt's politics and its own affairs. The parliamentary election that the Muslim Brotherhood won has been cancelled and the military has appointed itself an interim ruler with sweeping powers, including oversight of the constituent assembly that's supposed to write a new Egyptian constitution. For added turmoil, an Egyptian court is considering outlawing the Brotherhood and its new political wing, the Freedom and Justice Party.
For now, the military order that has governed Egypt for 50 years remains in charge, never mind that Mr. Mubarak was pushed from power a year and a half ago.
Rami Kouri, the long-time editor of Lebanon's Daily Star, thinks the Egyptian military has overreached and will reap the whirlwind:
The power grab in the past week by the Egyptian military and lingering Hosni Mubarak-era establishment, operating through the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), is such a blatant attempt to prevent a truly democratic and republican system of government from taking root in the country that it cannot possibly succeed. It will generate tremendous counter forces in society from tens of millions of ordinary and politicized Egyptians, who insist on achieving the promise of the January 2011 revolution that toppled Mubarak, and ushered in a slow transition to a more democratic system of governance... This display of monumental political greed, shortsightedness and sheer stupidity will now send Egypt into a protracted period of political struggle, in which various political forces in the country compete openly for power and legitimacy
Ashraf Khalil, a Cairo-based journalist and author of Liberation Square: Inside the Egyptian Revolution and the Rebirth of a Nation, is glum.
There were a lot fewer happy voters joyously waving their ink-stained index fingers than in any of the previous election days. Frankly, this never felt like a finger-waving sort of vote. Welcome to the new, apathetic Egypt. Part of it is voter fatigue, part active boycott, and part a widespread disillusionment at the options. The seemingly endless possibilities unleashed by the revolution had somehow come down to yet another showdown between the unreformed regime and the Muslim Brotherhood... The current constituent assembly now faces an undefined deadline to show progress; otherwise, SCAF will unilaterally form its own assembly. Either way, the generals retain the right to veto any aspects of the proposed constitution that are "in opposition to the goals of the revolution or its basic principles ... or the common principles of Egypt's past constitutions."
Marc Lynch sees a silver lining in the chaos, and builds an interesting extended metaphor out of the wisdom of Bill Watterson.
The best guide to the chaos of Egyptian politics is Hobbes. No, not Thomas Hobbes --- Calvin and Hobbes. Analysts have been arguing since the revolution over whether to call what followed a transition to democracy, a soft coup, an uprising, or something else entirely. But over the last week it's become clear that Egyptians are in fact caught up in one great game of Calvinball.
For those who don't remember Bill Watterson's game theory masterpiece, Calvinball is a game defined by the absence of rules -- or, rather, that the rules are made up as they go along. Calvinball sometimes resembles recognizable games such as football, but is quickly revealed to be something else entirely. The rules change in mid-play, as do the goals ("When I learned you were a spy, I switched goals. This is your goal and mine's hidden."), the identities of the players ("I'm actually a badminton player disguised as a double-agent football player!") and the nature of the competition ("I want you to cross my goal. The points will go to your team, which is really my team!").... Watterson's game theoretic analysis suggests that Calvinball's absence of rules does not automatically bestow victory on Calvin. The game is going to continue for a long time, at least until the players finally settle on some more stable rules which command general legitimacy. Perhaps the SCAF might not automatically dominate SCAFball?
Nathan Brown who, like Lynch, studies the politics of the Arab world at George Washington University, judged last week that the dissolution of parliament amounted to a "judicial coup."
The (Supreme Constitutional Court's) actions today, occurring in the context that they do, reshape Egypt's transition process -- so much so that some Egyptians will likely wonder if they are in any "transition process" at all. That concern is justified. The "process" part was already dead. Now the "transition" part is dying... If the details are unclear, the overall effect is not. What was beginning to look like a coup in slow motion is no longer moving in slow motion. The rulings themselves are perfectly defensible. The SCC is diverse enough in its composition that it is not anybody's tool...
But that may not matter in the long run. The dispersal of parliament, the sudden constitutional vacuum, the Shafiq surge, the reversion of state-owned media, the revival of a key element of the state of emergency by a decree from an unaccountable justice minister -- all these things point in one direction. Last March I wrote that, "unless the SCAF has the appetite for a second coup, or somehow discovers a way to shoehorn in its puppet as president, the constitutional vehicle that gave the military such political authority will soon turn into a pumpkin." Now it appears that the SCAF has regained its appetite and an old-regime candidate may soon win the presidency.
Cairo-based political analyst Issandr El Amrani, who runs the indispensable Arabist blog, focuses today on US support for Egypt's military rulers, and the fact that the Obama Administration elected earlier this year to keep an over $1 billion military aid package to Egypt flowing on the basis of US national security.
The national security waiver exercised by the Obama administration in March was premature and unwarranted, and now they have egg on their face. Washington can buy itself a few days to figure out what's going to happen in Egypt this week — this is what the recent statements frm the State Dept. being "troubled" by the recent developments amount to but the clock is ticking: they will either have to suspend the aid or be openly in favor of SCAF's constitutional coup if they continue it... More Americans need to care about this, too. I'm not Egyptian, and care mostly about this for American reasons. It's not just that I don't want my tax dollars to subsidize the US defense industry and pampered generals in Cairo. It's also that I don't want the blowback when Egyptians turn to Americans and say, "you supported our dictators". The time has come: the US may not be able to influence developments in Egypt, but at least it can stop underwriting them.
For now, protesters are gathering at Tahrir again, the voters who went to the polls in the parliamentary election have been disenfranchised, and the young revolutionaries who started this process are looking at the prospect of a Mubarak protege taking power, on the one hand, or an Islamist politician that in practice, if not in name, will be a junior partner to the generals. As Kristen Chick reported over the weekend, the chaos of the past year and a deteriorating economy have left many Egyptian's tired, and a little nostalgic, for the stability of the past. But more turmoil looks likely for the near future. SCAF has seen to that.

Through the successful Jubilee Woods Project, the Woodland Trust has encouraged members of the public to plant trees and learn why they are so important to help foster a more widespread appreciation and love for our natural environment.
2012 not only saw Her Majesty The Queen's Diamond Jubilee but also the 40th anniversary of UK based Woodland Trust. The woodland conservation charity's Jubilee Woods Project marked the occasion throughout the year and, once completed, will see over 6 million trees planted across the country, creating hundreds of new woods.
These woods range from tiny community woods consisting of a few hundred trees all the way up to the 460 acre Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Wood in the heart of England's National Forest in Leicestershire. The project has involved a whole range of people from all walks of life; schools have planted free tree packs in their grounds, universities have created woods on campuses and landowners like the National Trust have created huge woods across its estate. The Queen herself has even planted trees on her Estate, with woods being created at Sandringham in Norfolk and Balmoral in Scotland.
The reason behind planting 6 million trees is simple: the UK is one of the least wooded countries in Europe, with just 13% woodland cover. The European average is 44%. One of the Woodland Trust's key aims is to increase woodland cover across the country, by protecting what is left, restoring precious ancient woodland to its former state and creating new woods. In total the Woodland Trust has planted over 16 million trees and has involved millions of people in its tree planting cause.
These trees will create new homes for wildlife and help link up existing pockets of woodland to encourage species to spread and colonise across the country, increasing their chances of survival. The Woodland Trust manages a number of its woods to benefit wildlife and as a result has helped dormice, great crested newts, water voles and barn owls flourish, amongst many others species.
Not only do the trees benefit wildlife but also lock up carbon, produce oxygen and, if planted in the right areas, help prevent flooding and mitigate against increasing temperatures.
The Woodland Trust is a selected partner of this IUCN project.

Muriel Siebert wouldn't sit in the back of Wall Street's all-male bus. Instead, flouting tradition and breaking all the rules, she bought a seat in the front row.
In 1967, using her own capital and a sizable bank loan, Siebert raised $445,000 to purchase her own seat on the New York Stock Exchange, the first woman to do so. It was nearly a full decade before another woman accomplished the feat.
Continue Reading Below
Siebert died in New York on Saturday at the age of 84, a legendary figure on Wall Street, and moreover, a true American pioneer in furthering women's rights in the workplace, especially in the mostly male-dominated field of high-finance.
"Muriel supported women across this great land – she spoke of opportunities and she continued to create them for others. It's a tremendously sad loss for me, for women, and for the financial industry," said Jennifer Openshaw, founder of Women's Financial Network, a platform for providing women with investment information and resources.
Siebert was the real deal. For much of the 1960s, 70s and 80s, while she was still essentially the only woman in a position to do so, she could match the deal-making prowess of any cigar-chomping Wall Street CEO and hold her own in salty conversation with the rowdy traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.
She famously fought to have a women's bathroom installed deep in the recesses of the clubby NYSE.
"The NYSE Euronext community is saddened at the passing of Muriel Siebert, who was a true pioneer in financial services and made history as the first woman to become a member of the New York Stock Exchange. We extend our deepest condolences to Muriel's loved ones, friends and colleagues," NYSE said in a statement released Monday.
In a recent interview, she said she arrived in New York in 1954 with a "used car and $500," determined to forge a career in the testosterone-fueled world of Wall Street. She was tremendously successful, earning $250,000 a year as an analyst in the mid-1960s, a considerable amount of money for that time.
Creating Something 'No One Had Done Before'
But it wasn't as much money as her male colleagues who were doing the same work as her, and that bothered her. She said she asked an older, male colleague if there was a Wall Street firm where she might make the same amount of money as her male peers and was told, "Don't be ridiculous. You won't. Buy a seat (on the NYSE), work for yourself."
So she did – achieving her goal with a great deal of pride. "I was creating something no one had ever done before," she recalled many years later.
Unafraid to shake-up the long-staid Wall Street landscape, in 1975 she turned her investment business, Muriel Siebert & Co., into a discount brokerage firm, becoming one of the first investment firms to lower commissions and open Wall Street to Main Street.
Naturally, Wall Street wasn't pleased with the idea of lower commissions, but the idea caught on anyway and discount brokerages are widely credited with helping to fuel the bull markets of the 1980s and 90s.
New York Governor Hugh Carey recognized Siebert's unique talents and in 1977 tapped her to become the state's first woman superintendent of banking, a powerful position in Wall Street's backyard.
Elective politics was perhaps the one area where Siebert failed to find success, losing a bid for the Republication nomination for U.S. Senate in New York in 1982.
But Siebert never turned her back on public service, often testifying before governmental bodies on various aspects of discrimination and donating both her time and money to causes and organizations that promote equality in the workplace.
"Muriel kept going when most would've stopped. She broke down walls. She had more stamina than any 20-year-old. And better than anyone, she understood Wall Street – from every element that made it run to the powers that oversaw the enterprise," said Openshaw.
Her leadership will be missed, but her legacy won't soon be forgotten.

Welcome to The Perry Historians. The Perry Historians is located at the former Airy View School at the Dix Hill Road and Route 34 intersection between New Bloomfield and Newport, Perry County, Pennsylvania. We have been incorporated since 1976 and are the premiere site for Perry County historical and genealogical information.

Genealogical History of Perry County
As life is the interaction between people, one with another and their surroundings, so history is the record of these interactions. In both life and historical study, PEOPLE are the basic ingredient. PEOPLE therefore, are the basis from which The Perry Historians approach the history of Perry County. We call this concept Genealogical History because it is the history of a certain area as revealed through a thorough study of the individuals and families of that area and their interactions. Through this approach history takes on a very important PERSONAL value for each individual because he/she is learning about the past through the involvements of his/her own ancestors. The serious genealogical historian will not be satisfied to merely learn the names and dates of birth, marriage, and death of his/her ancestors but will endeavor to construct an understanding of the personality and lifestyle of those ancestors.
Did he fight for American Independence in 1776 or remain a Loyalist? Were they active in the life of the church and community? What were their occupations? Did they live in a log, frame, stone or brick house? When we learn the answers to these questions the buildings, people, and locations in Perry County and the whole world take on a special importance and receive the respect due them and the genealogical historian gains a valuable awareness of the contributions of his/her ancestors to the advancement of civilization.
To the statement that "The past is dead" or "History is bunk" we strongly reply that the present and the future are determined by the decisions, actions, and mistakes of past generations. The past is the foundation of the present and future and a thorough understanding of the past is essential to know who and what we are and why we are situated in life as we are. Consider the sacrifices our own parents may have made so that we could have a college education and try visualize the trauma our immigrant ancestors endured on coming to a wilderness from the civilizations of Europe. They can be ascertained only through a thorough study of the past lives of individual families. For the enrichment of yourself and your descendants, learn something of your own roots. Do not be afraid of "skeletons in the closet". Everyone is human and it adds color to the story.
The Perry Historians is a volunteer organization concerned with the heritage of Perry County as revealed through the lives of individuals and families.We are actively preserving and organizing the source materials and representative artifacts relative to the Genealogical History of Perry County and adjacent areas.We have restored a brick country schoolhouse and erected a concrete vault to house and use our holdings.We have added a two-story addition as well as recently added, through gracious donations and grants, an environmentally controlled repository and are currently in the process of creating a display room and museum to hold and expand our accessions.In addition to our own collection, we hold the collection of the late Harry W. Lenig for whom the library is named, Ardella Ebersole, Louella Sweigert and others.Your participation through a membership will allow us to continue our many projects of procuring and preserving the records and artifacts of our heritage and providing safe and proper housing for them so they will be available to this and many future generations.

Hey guys and gals, Spring is just around the corner, with Summer close behind. That means sunshine, warm weather, and most fun of all, water activities! Whether you live on a sandy beach, have a boat docked on your nearest local lake, or get your recreational water sport kicks on the mighty Mississippi river, a man's best friend in the water is a pair of great performance boardshorts!
It's quite evident that Billabong shares our love of the water as shown by their super cool "Life is Better in Boardshorts," 2012 campaign!
Billabong's humble beginning started when Gordon Merchant began producing handmade boardshorts with his wife Rena in 1973 from their house in Burleigh Point, Australia. This cherished tropical refuge of Gordon's was a place where you could wear boardshorts all year round. Merchant, also a surfer himself, as well as, a board shaper, wanted to develop boardshorts that not only provided the best fit and quality, but could also withstand the various elements that surfers encountered while out in the water. His business found an instant following, the boardshorts being produced by the Merchants proved to possess amazing performance and resilience in the water, due to the triple-stitching technique developed by Gordon.
Now, fast-forward to 2012 where Billabong is an international company known and respected for its dealings in the boardsport industry. But, even through all its growth since 1973, Billabong continues to "keep it real," and maintain its roots by continuing to uphold its commitment to global boardsports through event hosting and sponsoring industry athletes.
So, for Billabong, life really is better in boardshorts! What better way to prove this than with their Platinum X and Recycler Series. The really cool thing about the Recycler series is that the boardshorts are made from recycled PET bottles. So like, Billabong says "Innovation through performance and conservation."
So, let's meet Billabong's Influence boardshort. This men's striped boardshort packs all of the high-performance details you need into one style punch! And by style, we're referencing the really cool screen print/color combo this short is donning!
The Billabong Men's Influence boardshort features:
- Zero Gravity fabric, which is an exclusive Billabong fabric that uses Quad X Stretch (four-way stretch) to boost flexibility in all directions.
- H2 Repel, this technology forces water to bead off the surface of the fabric. This equals less rash/chaffing.
- Ergonomic Panels, for maximum stretch, any yoga instructor can't compete with.
- Recycled ZG fabric, made with recycled PET bottles and saving the environment on pair of boardshorts at a time.
- Welded Seams, stretch 100% with the fabric, creating smooth, comfortable seams.
Also from Billabong is the Men's Striker boardshort. This super functionally fun boardshort sports a horizontal multi stripe design, a solid contrast waistband, is scalloped and features side taping. It looks really cool in this mint, black and white color combo!
The Billabong Men's Striker boardshort features:
- PX4- Hydrostretch
- Quad X Stretch (4-way mechanical stretch)
- H2 Repel, a moisture wicking finish that reduces water absorption and friction
- 100% Recycled Polyester
- 20" Performance Fit
- PX Infinity Weld, meaning less seams to maximize the fabric's full stretch potential
Feel like "the Dude" in the Billabong Men's Vantage Platinum X boardshort! The color combo of blue, aqua, yellow and black make the geometric print pattern really POP. The Billabong wave logo chilling on the left leg versus the horizontal striping on the right gives this boardshort it's own style.
Not forgetting Billabong Men's Vantage Platinum X boardshort's awesome features:
- Made of Recycler Zero Gravity fabric, that is lightweight and preferred by athletes, because of it's extreme flexibility and stretch.
- Part of the Recycler Series, boasting an 87% recycled polyester/ 13% spandex ratio, packing performance and conservation into each pair of boardshort.
- H2 Repel, moisture wicking to prevent chafing.
- Quad X Stretch (4-way stretch)
Love them like you love your dog, boardshorts are truly man's best friend this summer. Glik's is here to provide you with top-notch performance boardshorts for your active summer season! Be sure to visit us at gliks.com or any Glik's store location nearest to you.

Actions: Nervine tonic, anti-spasmodic, hypotensive.
Indications: Skullcap is perhaps the most widely relevant

in the treatment of seizure and hysterical states
as well as epilepsy. It may be used in all exhausted or
depressed conditions. It can be used with complete safety in the easing
of pre-menstrual tension.
Priest & Priest tell us that it is a " diffusive,
stimulating & relaxing nervine - cerebral vasodilator and tropho restorative.
Indicated for nervous irritation of the cerebrospinal nervous system"
They give the following specific indications: functional nervous
exhaustion, post febrile nervous weakness. Chorea, hysteria,
agitation and epileptiform convulsions, insomnia,
nightmares, restless sleep.
Ellingwood considered it specific for " two distinct
lines of specific phenomena. Firstly irritability of the nervous
system with restlessness and nervous excitability; inability to
sleep without pain; general irritability with insomnia from local
causes. The second is where there is nervous disorder, characterized
by irregular muscular action, twitching, tremors and restlessness,
with or without incoordination. Its soothing influence continues for
a protracted period, after the agent is discontinued." In
addition here commends it for the following patholgies: delirium
tremens, nervous excitability.

water onto l-2 teaspoonfuls of the dried herb and leave to infuse
for l0-l5 minutes. This should be drunk three times a day or when

• The richness and variety of our area offer so many options that everyone can find what they want.
With almost 1,500 inhabitants, Peralada includes since 1975 the village of Vilanova de la Muga and, within the municipal district, we can find several groups of country houses. Peralada's historical personality is constantly shown. Its narrow streets, the museums, Sant Domènec's cloisters, its library… give a unique look. Still to be seen in the old part are the stretches of the town walls, with well-preserved gateways leading into the town and the castle on top of the hillock. That fortified Gothic castle has been through several phases of renovation. It is surrounded by sizeable gardens and now houses the present-day Casino de Peralada, one of the three casinos in Catalonia, as well as an international festival for the performing arts in summer.
Cadaqués is a fishing village built on grey slate and surrounded by olive groves. Much frequented by artists, it has a striking beauty and a personality all of its own: steep cobbled streets, whitewashed houses perched on the rocks, and a wild landscape all around.
At the highest point of the old part of the village, we find Saint Mary's Church. It is a late Gothic building, started in the middle of the 16th century and finished in the 18th century. Inside, we find a superb Baroque wooden altarpiece made in 1725 and gilded in 1788, designed by Jacint Moretó and carried out by Pau Costa.
Cadaqués is related to art through Salvador Dalí, the artist who, in spite of being born in Figueres, was connected to the near Port-Lligat bay where, in the 1940′s, built his odd house.
Long ago, Cadaqués was already a place that many artists and intellectuals chose to spend short or long quiet times. This gave the village a great prestige and fame, above all in the circles of painters and fine artists.
Sant Pere de Rodes
Romanic Benedictine Monastery, the most emblematic of the Empordà. In spite of its uncertain origin, it was mentioned in documents since 878 and was abandoned definitively by the monks in 1798. Its main configuration is adopted between the 10th and 12th centuries with later extensions and renovations up to the present. Along with Saint Helen's Church, the remains of the town with the same name and those of the Verdera Castle make up an extraordinary monumental group, to which we can add the spectacular landscape, with sea views over Cap de Creus. It is a National Monument since 1930.
Dalí Theatre-Museum – Figueres
The former municipal theatre is now the Dalí Theatre-Museum, and the genius's mausoleum. It is located next to Saint Peter's Church. The building which housed the theatre of the town of Figueres, designed by the architect Roca i Bros, was built between 1849 and 1850, but was destroyed by a fire at the end of the Spanish Civil War, in 1939. In 1961, the then mayor of the town suggested to Salvador Dalí that he should build a museum dedicated to his work. The painter was struck by the former theatre's ghostly charm and, with the idea of maintaining the structure of the building, chose it as the home for the future Dalí Theatre-Museum. The museum was officially opened in 1974 and has since then continued to fill its halls with works by Dalí: from his first artistic experiences and his creations within the surrealistic movement, to the works produced in the last few years of his life. The façade and tower with the three baguettes and the giant eggs on the roof are the scenes in the town most photographed by visitors.
It houses a large part of the artist's work since his start. Some of the most remarkable are: "The Spectre of Sex Appeal" (1932), "Leda Atomica" (1949) and "Galatea of the Spheres" (1952), among others. The collection is regularly enlarged with new acquisitions. There is also a permanent exhibition of jewelry designed by Salvador Dalí.
Opening times and prices:
Salvador Dalí's House-Museum – Portlligat
Located next to Portlligat Bay, this House-Museum consists of a group of fishing huts joined in a maze-like form that became the artist's home for large periods of time. You can visit the workshop, library and places where he spent time, like his bedroom, garden, etc. Reservation required (Tel. + 34 972 251 015 /
The Citadel – Roses
Walled enclosure that contains remains of different eras and occupations. One of the two Greek settlements in the Iberian Peninsula, a Roman villa, a Romanesque church and a medieval town. All of that in an area of great beauty and interest. In 1961, it was declared a National Historical-Artistic Centre. Rhode Ave.
Ruins of Empúries
It is one of the two Greek settlements known up to now in the Iberian Peninsula. Historical centre that gathers two different cultures: the Greeks (6th century BC) and the Romans (218 BC), although most of the visible remains correspond to the era in which the Greek and Roman town was established as a single municipality. In the Greek town, we must stand out the Asklepios temple ( 2nd century BC) and the Hellenistic breakwater ( 2nd – 1st century BC), while in the Roman one it stands out the mosaics of the grand domus (houses) (1st century BC – 1st century AD), the forum or political, religious and economic centre (1st century BC – 3rd century AD) or the main door of the wall ( 1st century BC).

Alt Empordà is an extraordinary area in terms of natural heritage. We must highlight that it is the only region within Catalonia with three Natural Parks in just 100 km²: Aiguamolls de l'Empordà (wetland), Cap de Creus and l'Albera mountain range.
This natural site is located on the Southern slope of the Albera massif and it comprises two very different areas: the western part in the Requesens-Baussitges area with Central European vegetation (wet beech woods and oak groves), and the eastern part in the Sant Quirze de Colera area which is more Mediterranean, with vegetation consisting of oaks and wild bushes, inhabited by the last colonies of the Mediterranean tortoise. The park was created in 1986 and covers an area of 4,108 hectares within La Jonquera, Espolla and Rabós. Its area of influence also covers the towns and villages of Llançà, Colera, Portbou, Cantallops, Vilamaniscle and Garriguella.
Els Aiguamolls de l'Empordà Natural Park
This is the second wetland area in Catalonia. It is made up by several ponds, swamps and flood plains in the confluence of the rivers Muga and Fluvià. It is an exceptional habitat for fauna, especially for wetland birds. In 1983, the place was declared a National Natural Site of Interest, based on its wide-ranging zoological and botanic reserves. It covers an area of 4,866 hectares. Its creation was the result of an intense and long defence campaign that began in 1976 to halt an urban development project whose aim was to create a residential marina for 60,000 people in the lake area located in the estuary of the rivers Muga and Fluvià. The towns and villages within the park area of influence are: L'Armentera, Castelló d'Empúries, L'Escala, Palau-saverdera, Pau, Pedret i Marzà, Peralada, Roses and Sant Pere Pescador.
Cap de Creus Natural Park
It is the last spur of the Pyrenees and the easternmost point of the Iberian Peninsula. The coast is rough and rugged with striking cliffs and isolated coves. The Cap de Creus Natural Park was created in 1998 and protects the Cap de Creus peninsula and its marine environment. It is the first natural park in the country to cover both sea and land, and stretches over 13,886 hectares. The land area includes three natural sites of national interest: Cap Gros-Cap de Creus in the north; Punta Falconera-Cap Norfeu in the south, and the Rodes Mountains in the west. Furthermore, all the islands and islets in the Natural Park's marine environment are also covered by the same category. The towns and villages within the park area of influence are: Cadaqués, Llançà, Palau-saverdera, Pau, El Port de la Selva, Roses, La Selva de Mar and Vilajuïga.
The Alt Empordà region is a paradise for Nature sports lovers, because it offers a wide variety of activities. Hiking is a settled tradition among local population. The variety of landscapes mixes with a long network of hiking trails (Itinerànnia), or other important routes such as Transpyrénéenne (that starts and finishes at Cap de Creus end), or the route skirting the Mediterranean Sea (from Portbou to Escala), and local routes through other parks (perfect for one-day walks).
Itinerànnia is a network of hiking trails that stretches over 2,500 kilometres and joins the regions of Ripollès, Garrotxa and Alt Empordà.
Walking enjoying the area, this is the network of trails objective.
Itinerànnia has restored former transport routes between villages in order to provide access to any spot, down to the tiniest of enclaves. The network is stimulated by the natural and cultural assets of three areas, the main attractions for people visiting our lands. It allows you to walk from the Pyrenees to the sea and from the sea to the Pyrenees.
And while it is possible to go almost anywhere by car, you can do so on foot as well now.

Collections and Sorting
A collection is an object whose primary function is to store a number of like objects. An object called CarCollection may contain any number of Car objects. Collections can traditionally be accessed in the same manner as arrays, which means CarCollection[n] represents a particular Car object. This is true in C#, Java, and more – but not PHP, unfortunately. Since PHP has only recently begun to develop a package of built in objects (the SPL, Standard PHP Library), the ability to support collections in the accepted behavioral sense is very limited.
There is no way in PHP to create a custom indexer, which means if you want to use an object that allows direct access to elements via the Object[n] notation, you must inherit from the ArrayObject class. This means you are not able to change the internal storage method, which, in the case of ArrayObject, is a native array. Since there is no data structure in PHP other than the array, though, this implementation is acceptable; there isn't any other alternative that would not eventually resolve to a native array.
"Wait," you say, "what about sorting?" Using the native PHP array, there are an abundance of ways to sort. Since the solution we have discussed so far uses an array for internal data storage, this should be OK – but it is not. We are faced with two problems:
- There is no way to directly access the ArrayObject's internal array.
- Assuming issue 1 is resolved, any given collection must know how to sort the object it contains – remember, native array sort functions only work with primitive types (strings and numbers).
Additionally there is the consideration of how we will sort. There are a number of available sorting algorithms, several of which are reasonably close in speed, several of which are archaic and nearly useless. We will examine some of the available choices later in this article and determine which is the best choice for our sorting needs.
{mospagebreak title=Weighing the Options}
To summarize, then, we can only use the Object[n] indexer notation by extending the built in ArrayObject class, but we can only implement sorting for non-primitive classes by using a custom class that knows how to work with them. The list of solutions is small and none of them are attractive:
- Use a custom collection class with no indexer functionality but with full sort functionality. This means that to access an element we must explicitly make a method call.
- Use an ArrayObject-derived class and create sorting methods that return a copy of the class with the elements ordered. This means that the collection class cannot sort itself.
Delightful, is it not? Personally I believe that the first solution is superior because the collection class will be able to do its own sorting. Using a Collection::Get(n) method results in extra typing, but it conveys clear intent and allows us to handle internal storage on our own. Using the second solution means we have to create either standalone functions or a sorting class for each collection class, in which we call Sort($CollectionObject). This approach is much less clear and requires a lot of additional typing, not only to use the classes but also to modify them or create new ones – and of course it requires that we remember more class names, more method names, and how to use them all in conjunction with one another.
Having determined that the first solution is better, this article will focus on implementing that solution in a clean and manageable way. Read on!
{mospagebreak title=Building the Foundation}
In order to effectively implement our solution for creating sortable object collections, we need to determine what common properties the collection classes will have as well as the requirements for the objects that will be contained in a collection. For now, let us define two interfaces – ICollection for the collection classes and ISortable for the objects that need to be sorted. You will see the meaning of the ISortable name shortly.
interface ICollection
public function Get($i);
public function Append($object);
public function Sort();
For now we are only going to support the three methods defined in the above interface. Get() will return an element by index, in lieu of an indexer. Append() will add a new element to the collection. Sort() will, of course, sort the elements in the collection.
interface ISortable
public function GetSortKey();
This interface will be implemented by the objects inside the collection that need to be sorted. The GetSortKey() method will return the "key value" of the object, similarly to the way ToString() works in .NET or Java.
Now we need to define a basic abstract base class for our collection classes.
abstract class Collection implements ICollection
protected $data;
public function __construct()
$this->data = new ArrayObject();
public function Get($i)
return $this->data[$i];
public function Append($object)
public function Sort()
Here we have a basic implementation of the Collection class. It provides a default Get() and Append() method as well as a default constructor. Notice that the default implementation for the protected member $data is an ArrayObject. I chose this simply because I would prefer to be consistent and work with an object than the primitive type since both expose indexers. The only difference between using the ArrayObject and using an actual array is that we cannot directly access the inner array, which won't be a problem.
{mospagebreak title=Concrete Classes}
Now it is time to create an actual concrete implementation of the abstract Collection class and the ISortable interface. We will use a class called People for our collection. It will contain objects of the type Person. Really, it can contain any object implementing ISortable, but in our example we will only use the class Person. For now, the Person class is going to be just a glorified container for a single string, $name.
class Person implements ISortable
private $name;
public function GetName() { return $name; }
public function SetName($name) { $this->name = $name; }
public function GetSortKey()
return $this->name;
public function __construct($name)
$this->name = $name;
Next we need to implement the People collection and its Sort() method. As I mentioned earlier in the article, there are quite a lot of ways to sort. For this example I will use the "fundamental" sort algorithm – the Bubble Sort. I should also point out that it is the slowest sort and should never be used on large data sets or where performance is a critical concern.
class People extends Collection
public function Sort()
for ($i = $this->data->count() – 1; $i >= 0; $i–)
$flipped = false;
for ($j = 0; $j < $i; $j++)
if (strcmp($this->data[$j]->GetSortKey(),
$this->data[$j + 1]->GetSortKey()) > 0)
$tmp = $this->data[$j];
$this->data[$j + 1]);
$this->data->offsetSet($j + 1, $tmp);
$flipped = true;
if (!$flipped)
The Bubble Sort is by far the most obvious and intuitive sort algorithm, performing in-place swaps in a linear fashion. Notice that it will return early if any pass does not cause a swap – which means in an example like this one, it's just fine. Even if it did not return early, we will be working with so few elements that it simply does not matter. Consider the following example:
$people = new People();
$people->Append(new Person('Jamie'));
$people->Append(new Person('David'));
$people->Append(new Person('Natalie'));
$people->Append(new Person('Johnny'));
print '<pre>';
print '</pre>';
You should see this in your browser after running the script:
People Object
[data:protected] => ArrayObject Object
[0] => Person Object
[name:private] => Jamie
[1] => Person Object
[name:private] => David
[2] => Person Object
[name:private] => Natalie
[3] => Person Object
[name:private] => Johnny
People Object
[data:protected] => ArrayObject Object
[0] => Person Object
[name:private] => David
[1] => Person Object
[name:private] => Jamie
[2] => Person Object
[name:private] => Johnny
[3] => Person Object
[name:private] => Natalie
There it is, a minimal implementation of collections with sorting. We have defined two interfaces and an abstract collection class and created a uniform way to sort within our collection. By sacrificing the ability to use an indexer on our collection, we were able to encapsulate the sort functionality within the collection class itself, sparing ourselves the trouble of creating even more classes.
Having now implemented the worst possible sort algorithm and left an obvious re-factoring or two, the stage is set for the next installment of this article. In the next part we are going to actually implement a number of sort algorithms and benchmark them with a much larger data set. If you need to learn the fundamental sort algorithms (and all programmers do), be sure you check it out!

The Sleep Lady
My name is Kim West and I have been a family therapist for 18 years. I have been speciailizing in childrens sleep for 13 years. I have written 3 books sold in the US, UK, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Australia and New Zealand and soon China and Taiwan. I help parents teach their newborns to 5 year old children put themselves to sleep and back to sleep independently without letting them cry it out alone. I have a gentle method which has made me very popular. I wish to update my logo and website which I have been told looks amateur and not credible enough considering all the TV shows I have appeared on. My first step is the logo.
My audience is complied of parents or families all over the world. Average ages are between 28-45 years old with children ages newborn to 6 years old...although I am planning on branching out to 12 years old. They are educated, sophisticated, exhausted, desperate and want some sleep but are not willing to let their child cry it out alone. Many are a traditional family with mother, father, children, some are single parents, some are lesbian couples, some are step families and all are tired. They cross all cultures. My new logo will also be used by future sleep coaches that I will be training and hopefully in daycares who wish to advertise that they are certified or approved by the Sleep Lady.
I am looking for a logo for my website, letterhead, products and forms. The logo could be a shape that includes "The Sleep Lady, Kim West LCSW-C".
"The Sleep Lady" is trademarked so it gets an R in a circle at the end.
I like the colors on my current site which are also used on my books (see my home page http://www.sleeplady.com.). As you can see I have been using moons, stars and sheep but I dont have to use them any longer. I would like something that depicts a family or child and sleep. I would like it to be more sophisticated than what I currently have with the sheep. It should also not focus just on newborns but include toddlers and preschoolers.
The names and words with it would be:
Sleep Lady Solutions
Gentle Parenting Tips, Tools and Techniques for Sleep and Beyond
Kim West, LCSW-C
The Sleep Lady
Gently Solving Your Baby and Toddlers Sleep Problems Since 1997
Please let me know if you need anything else! I think this will be a fun project!

Dead Tank Compact
Circuit Breakers
Circuit breakers are the central part of air-insulated (AIS) and gas-insulated (GIS) switchgear. High-voltage circuit breakers are mechanical switching devices which connect and break current circuits (operating currents and fault currents) and carry the nominal current in closed position.
As a world market leader, Siemens takes the responsibility to provide circuit breakers which meet the environmental, technological and economic conditions in the various countries worldwide.
|▪ Live Tank Circuit Breakers,
▪ Dead Tank Circuit Breakers,
▪ Circuit Breakers for GIS
▪ Dead Tank Compact,
▪ Disconnecting Circuit Breaker
|▪ Voltage range from 72.5 kV up to 800 kV
▪ More than 136,000 circuit breakers delivered
▪ More than 150 countries delivered
Few basic components leading to a high diversity of types
Siemens high-voltage circuit breakers, regardless of type or voltage range, are designed in a well proven modular platform concept. This leads to a high diversity of circuit breaker types and to high flexibility with regard to various applications according to our customers' requirements.
The main components, such as
are identical and based on decades of manufacturing and operating experience. Our GIS switchgear range also includes the same interrupter units, operating mechanisms and control elements. By applying this proven modular design not only at our lead factory in Germany, but also within our global manufacturing network, we are able to fulfill the highest expectations regarding availability and reliability at eminently competitive prices.
All construction types consist ot the same basic components:
1 Interrupter unit
2 Post insulator
3 Pillar
4 Control cabinet
5 Operating mechanism cubiche
Our complete 3AP family up to 800 kV and above relies on our arc-quenching principles, either the self-compression or the dynamic self-compression principle using the thermal energy of the arc. Siemens patented this method for arc quenching in 1973 and has continued to develop the technology of the self-compression interrupter unit. In short-circuit breaking operations the actuating energy required is reduced to the energy needed for mechanical contact movement.
Self-compression principle
For applications up to 245 kV, our 3AP circuit breakers with self-compression principle ensure optimum switching performance under every operating condition.
Dynamic self-compression principle
From 245 kV onwards, the dynamic self-compression principle with two-way moving contacts is utilized in our 3AP type circuit breakers.
If you have any questions concerning mode of operation or other details please do not hesitate to contact us or download information material on our circuit breakers.
Stored-energy spring mechanism
The operating mechanism is a central part of high-voltage circuit breakers. The drive concept of the 3AP circuit breaker family is based on the patented stored-energy spring principle and is identical on all types. The use of such an operating mechanism for voltage ranges of up to 800 kV became appropriate as a result of the development of a self-compression interrupter unit that requires minimal actuating energy. The compact design of this operating mechanism makes it possible to place the stored-energy spring mechanism within the control cubicle in a compact housing.
The mechanism types differ in terms of the number, size and arrangement of the opening and closing springs. Both the closing and opening springs are located inside the operating mechanism, thereby achieving a simple and sturdy device. This design minimizes the number of required moving parts. The use of roller bearings and of the maintenance-free charging mechanism is a prerequisite for reliable operation over decades. Proven design principles such as vibration-isolated latches and load-free isolation of the charging mechanism were retained.
Advantages of the stored-energy spring mechanism:
Electrohydraulic operating mechanism
The electrohydraulic operating mechanism has been used in 3AT and 3AQ circuit breakers for more than 20 years. Even the highest switching voltages are safely brought under control in the shortest possible time and also the most difficult switching tasks can be mastered.
Advantages of the electrohydraulic operating mechanism:
Field of application:
▪ Bushings for transformers and other devices
▪ Grading capacitors
▪ Voltage and current transformers
▪ Cable connections
▪ Surge arresters
▪ Circuit breakers
Characteristics of composite insulators:
▪ Low risk of breakage due to flexible sheds
▪ Easy montage
▪ Low weight
▪ Safety at internal shorts-circuits and earthquakes
▪ No cleaning of silicon housing necessary
▪ Highly resistant to environmental influences and pollution
▪ Decades of operational experience with long rod insulators,
surge arrestors and circuit-breakers
The foundation of quality for Siemens high-voltage circuit breakers begins right in the development of a new product. Switching performance, high voltage stability and performance under normal mechanical loads (wind and short circuits) as well as seismic conditions are simulated and optimized in the outline design phase using computer-aided calculations. The use of parts and assembly units in a large number of breaker types such as live tank, dead tank, as well as GIS leads to a high volume standardization of the main components. Steady and regular amounts of produced units form a continuous production process and ensure the highest standards. Statistical quality control is based on large numbers produced, and hence, a higher validity is achieved.
All 3AP circuit breakers are earthquake-proof up to 0.5 g.
All our circuit breakers are completely type-tested in accordance with latest IEC and ANSI standards before their market launch. In our Berlin factory, we have one of the most modern testing laboratories available which are accredited to EN 45001 and part of the European network of the independent testing organization, PEHLA.
All required facilities are available:
▪ Physics laboratory
▪ High-voltage testing laboratory
▪ High-power testing laboratory
▪ Mechanical testing laboratory
▪ Temperature rise testing laboratory
Other testing laboratories that we work together with are KEMA, CESI, IPH and FGH, which are also part of the European network of independent testing organizations.
Important components are subjected to complete pre-acceptance testing before assembly. The routine test is performed on the assembled circuit breaker. The specification requirements are automatically imported into the computer-aided routine test plan during order processing. This makes sure that fulfillment of every customer requirement is checked before delivery.
Routine testing is performed in accordance with IEC or ANSI and encompasses
the following points at least:
▪ 100 mechanical operations
▪ Closing and opening times
▪ Release and motor currents
▪ Gas monitoring
▪ Testing of control circuits in accordance with the circuit diagram
▪ Voltage drop of the main conducting path
▪ High-voltage testing
▪ 2 kV testing of auxiliary circuits

Product Information
The hybrid concept on which the 3AP1 Dead Tank Compact (DTC) is based combines SF6-encapsulated components and air-insulated devices. The application of gas insulated components increases availability of the switchgear. According to CIGRE analyses, gas-insulated components are four times more reliable than air insulated components. Furthermore, safety can be enhanced by separating gas compartments, e.g. between the circuit breaker and disconnector.
The DTC circuit breaker is a compact arrangement of several functions needed in a substation. The elements of this Siemens compact switchgear is a dead tank circuit breaker, fitted with one or two current transformers, one or more disconnectors, earthing switches and bushings as applicable for connection to the bus bar system. And of course, based on our modular design, the core components are adopted from our high-voltage circuit breakers, disconnectors and GIS product family. Due to the compact design and the flexible use of predefined modules, different layouts can be realized with a minimum of engineering effort.
The 3AP1 DTC offers you:
