Hi, I hope your first question is about installing your script in linux machine, so you could launch the script from any directory. For this, either you can change the $PATH bash variable in ~/.bashrc file, append it with the directory which your script exists or create a link to your script under any directory which already exists in $PATH.
For your second question to make the script executable, yes, you have to give it executable permission and don't forget to add the shabang inside the script.

Any Local Businesses in Prospect Heights or Crown Heights accepting Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is to Money as eMail is to Postal Mail.
Its a Peer to Peer (P2P) decentralized currency (a currency without a government)
Only 21 million bitcoins can ever be made in Total and the outstanding number of Bitcoin is currently about half of that.
Better explanation here
and in depth here
and here
I haven't seen any non-internet business say they accept it. It's my understanding taxation on bitcoins transactions is a bit muddled right now. So I doubt that any business want to jump on that bandwagon till it's settled.

"Japan's financial regulators, by contrast, have largely given bitcoin a shrug.

Creep Experiment
Q: What happens when we attach a very heavy weight to a wire at relatively low temperature?
A: The wire snaps right away!
Q: What happens when we hang a lighter weight from the wire at a higher temperature?
A: At first, seemingly nothing—the weight just hangs there. Or does it? Under some circumstances, we may return several hours (…or severals days… or several weeks…) later and find that the weight has gradually stretched the wire.
This deformation at elevated temperature under constant load is called creep. It depends on the wire material and the temperature of the room. Let's explore creep in more detail, and then look at the results of a real creep experiment. We will look at a fractured wire too!
This section requires the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
If we hang a small weight (4.8 kg = 10.6 lb) on a long 1/8" diameter wire made of 60/40 solder, at first we will not notice significant elongation. This load is well below that required to plastically deform the material rapidly, and only a very small amount of elastic elongation has occurred. The animated video below shows the experiment. (See a screenshot.) An indicator bar is attached to the bottom of the weight. A centimeter scale is shown in the background so that we can monitor the elongation of the wire over time.
Experimental Conditions
Summary of Creep Test Conditions- Wire Material: Solder = 60% Sn - 40% Pb
- Melting Temperature: 183°C = 456 K
- Wire Diameter: 1/8" = 0.125" = 3.175 mm
- Load: 4.8 kb = 10.6 lbs
The load applied to the wire (4.8 kg) is only about one tenth of the load required to get immediate plastic deformation. The experiment shows, however, that there is slow, continuous deformation (creep deformation) over a period of several days. The graph below shows a plot of the wire length versus time during the creep test. The wire is initially 30 cm long, but after more than 90 hours, it has stretched to around 140 cm.
Final Data
- Original wire length: 12" = 1 ft = 30.5 cm
- Initial data indicator: 47 cm
- Final data indicator: 156 cm
- Final wire length: 54.9" = 4.5 ft = 139.5 cm
- Test temperature: 77°F
- Test duration: 90.8 hours = 3 days, 18 hours, 48 seconds

Congrats on the new gun! You only get your first once, so get what you want and enjoy.
For practice ammo, most any FMJ will work. I prefer Federal, however in a pinch I will buy Winchester White Box. If you go to Walmart, you will also probably see Tulammo, while cheaper, I would not recommend it, especially for someone new to guns. It is a steel case ammo, and not all guns like it.
Now, get some ammo and get to the range!

don't worry about the scratches. it's a carry gun and will soon have more. a well worn gun is sexier than a pristine one any day.
Beautiful gun, good job. I like it and I'm not even really a Sig fan!

I love it so far. Now I'm just waiting on my crossbreed holster to get in. I've been shooting Lawman fmj and Speer Gold Dots with no FTF/FTE. The sight radius does take a little time to get used to, but so far it has great accuracy with in 15'. I might end up getting a different front sight as mine has the longer fiber optic/night sight.
For some reason, the nifty little kydex holster that came with my 238 Nitemare put a huge, horrible scratch down the top of the slide....made me quite ill. I love this gun, as well as its sibling the 938...one or the other has been my daily carry for a couple of weeks now.
You started off into the gun buying thing quite nicely....great choice.
Congrats! I'm sure you'll love it as much as I love my diamond plate P238. It shoots just about anything for the range. I use Hornady Critical Defense for carry.

WISDOM: Not putting a tomato in a fruit salad..
Beautiful gun. Now go out and enjoy it.
Excellent choice. Sig Sauer=Tank
Good job on getting the gun you actually want. Many here will tell you buyers remorse on a gun sucks. Well worth saving or waiting till it is available most times instead of buying twice

yea it's a carry gun. it's gonna get the heck beat out of it. it happens. good call on the stainless. i won't buy a carry gun that i can't sweat on. either ss or parkerized finish. buy some good carry ammo, and a boatload of winchester whitebox to practice with. shoot at least once a week. make that thing an extension of yourself.
oh and let me know what you come up with for carrying when in scrubs. my wife is a nurse and she still needs some "convincing".

Judges Give Insights from the Bench
Kelley Arnold
Associate Director of Membership Outreach
Judges play a key role in shaping the law of our states and territories. On Friday, Nov. 13 at 11 a.m., The Council of State Governments will host a plenary session panel discussion at its Annual Conference in La Quinta, Calif., entitled "Justice Matters: Insights from the Bench." The panel includes four state chief justices who will explore the idea of fair and impartial state courts. Judicial elections, interbranch cooperation, court innovations and equality in justice will be among the topics on the docket.
Bill Vickrey, administrative director, California Administrative Office of the Courts, will moderate the session. The panelists are chief justices Shirley S. Abrahamson of Wisconsin, Sue Bell Cobb of Alabama, Paul J. De Muniz of Oregon and John D. Minton Jr. of Kentucky.
Abrahamson has served as chief justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court since 1996. She was the first woman to serve on the court when she was first appointed in 1976. Abrahamson, who graduated from the Indiana University Law School, also served as a professor at the University of Wisconsin Law School. She is a past president of the National Conference of Chief Justices and past chair of the board of directors of the National Center for State Courts. She also served as chair of the National Institute of Justice's National Commission on the Future of DNA Evidence.
Cobb took office as chief justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama in 2007 after serving 12 years on the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals. Cobb graduated from the University of Alabama School of Law in 1981. As soon as she was admitted to the bar, she was appointed district judge of Conecuh County, becoming one of the state's youngest judges. She was elected twice to that position. She was appointed to serve as an alternate chief judge on the Court of the Judiciary in 1997, and was elected to the Court of Appeals in 1994.
De Muniz joined the Oregon Supreme Court in January 2001 and became Oregon's 41st chief justice on Jan. 1, 2006. In 2008, he was elected to the board of directors of the Conference of Chief Justices, and is one of eight state chief justices selected to attend a three-year Harvard University Executive Session to study the role of state court leaders. De Muniz, who graduated from the Willamette University College of Law, has also served on the Judicial Fitness and Disability Commission and the Supreme Court Access to Justice for All Committee. In 2002, he founded a now flourishing rule-of-law partnership with judicial leaders in Russia's Far East.
Minton was sworn in as Kentucky's fifth chief justice June 27, 2008, after serving two years as a justice on the state Supreme Court. Minton, who graduated from the University of Kentucky College of Law in 1977, was appointed to the court in July 2006 and was then elected to an eight-year term in November 2006 to represent the Second Supreme Court District, which is comprised of 14 counties in western Kentucky. He had previously served on the Kentucky Court of Appeals, and before that served as a circuit court judge in Warren County, Ky., where he served as chief regional judge of the Green River Region.

In the event of an overdose with JENTADUETO, contact the Poison Control Center. Employ the usual supportive measures (e.g., remove unabsorbed material from the gastrointestinal tract, employ clinical monitoring, and institute supportive treatment) as dictated by the patient's clinical status. Removal of linagliptin by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis is unlikely. However, metformin is dialyzable with a clearance of up to 170 mL/min under good hemodynamic conditions. Therefore, hemodialysis may be useful partly for removal of accumulated metformin from patients in whom JENTADUETO overdosage is suspected.
During controlled clinical trials in healthy subjects, with single doses of up to 600 mg of linagliptin (equivalent to 120 times the recommended daily dose), there were no dose-related clinical adverse drug reactions. There is no experience with doses above 600 mg in humans.
Overdose of metformin has occurred, including ingestion of amounts greater than 50 grams. Hypoglycemia was reported in approximately 10% of cases, but no causal association with metformin has been established. Lactic acidosis has been reported in approximately 32% of metformin overdose cases [see BOXED WARNING and WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
JENTADUETO is contraindicated in patients with:
- Renal impairment (e.g., serum creatinine ≥ 1.5 mg/dL for men, ≥ 1.4 mg/dL for women, or abnormal creatinine clearance), which may also result from conditions such as cardiovascular collapse (shock), acute myocardial infarction, and septicemia [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
- Acute or chronic metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis. Diabetic ketoacidosis should be treated with insulin [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
- A history of hypersensitivity reaction to linagliptin, such as anaphylaxis, angioedema, exfoliative skin conditions, urticaria, or bronchial hyperreactivity [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and ADVERSE REACTIONS]
- Hypersensitivity to metformin

See the elephant and all its meanings before Abundance closes
From wide-eyed dreams to unthinkable terrors
Jeff Smith 7 a.m., March 30
Fanfarlo is coming back to the States, and I think for this tour they've shape-shifted away from their past as a feel-good dance band with synths. The last CD sounded like it desperately wanted to cop the Bahamian junkanoo vibe that KC and the Sunshine Band rode all the way up to the top of the pop charts. Considering that Fanfarlo cobbled together an orchestra pit full of instruments (sax, violin, mandolin, glockenspiel, trumpet, clarinet, guitar, synth, bass, keys, and drums) in order to make their debut CD Reservoir, the new record, titled Let's Go Extinct, sounds like leaner horn-driven stuff bordering on R&B. "Constantly changing but staying the same" is written on the band's Facebook page.
Fanfarlo also labels their present sound architecture as "space opera meets spaghetti western," which is to say everything and nothing. Indie pop/folk is where most critics go, and with the four-on-the-floor drummer, Fanfarlo is still heavy into the dance factor.
The band was formed eight years ago in London by a Swede named Simon Balthazar, the prime visionary in the group. It's been slow going: in that many years, the band has released only three full-length CDs and an EP. And if each of them sounds different from the last, consider the band's collective influences: Fleetwood Mac, King Crimson, Philip Glass, Todd Rundgren, Steve Reich. Fanfarlo carved out a respectable London following and over the years has managed to put together enough coin to tour the U.S. now and then. The band has a carefree exterior, but Let's Go Extinct is a concept album that puts larger concerns, like human evolution, on the table: "I think of us when we were molecules/ sleeping in the dark is like a loaded gun/ waiting for reactions to occur/ planted like a seed into the ground/ it grew the strangest flower."

Tzortzis Rallis is a graphic designer who uses his tools to engage in cultural, social and political initiatives. Currently he supports political grass root collectives in Greece and co-designs 'The Occupied Times of London', the independent newspaper of and for the London occupations, a medium that not only addresses the occupiers and the people sympathising with them but also reaches out for detractors – to educate and inspire. The graphic for "Truth is concrete" is inspired by a protester's placard at the occupied churchyard of St. Paul Cathedral in London on October 16 - the second day of an occupation that lasted 5 months.
"The political movements that emerged as a response to the global financial crisis during the early part of the 21st century have a tendency to use distinct visual languages to address concerns and demands. At the same time, as the new wave of protest purports to speak for the 99%, it is vital that the message can engage wider audiences. This is our intention with the design concept of Occupied Times, a newspaper that was born within Occupy London movement. The typographic approach to the festival's slogan reflect the visual voice of the newspaper and the aim to challenge a different narrative to radical protest graphics."

Standard Storage Systems
High Density Storage Solutions
Picking Systems
Safety & Security
In the high-cost world of cold storage, maximizing cube use is vital. That's why when Liberty Freezers decided to revamp the racking in its London, Ontario warehouse, they looked to a high-density mechanized solution. Richard Rix bundles up to find out how they did it. With files from Deborah Aarts.
It is one thing to see a prototype pallet-handling and retrieval system being put through its paces at the developer's facility. It is quite something else to see it at work in a real-life warehousing environment. When that environment is a freezer - and the loads are heavy food products stacked on their original shipping pallets - it becomes something very "cool".
The facility - which has long served the food industry - services all points nationally as well as the eastern US. Today, it ships into distributor facilities and distribution centres, which are essentially hubs for such companies as Loblaws, Sobeys, Metro Foods and Wal-Mart. It handles an average of 175 to 250 tractor-trailer loads a week, and activity is brisk around the 26 temperature-controlled dock doors. But until a few years ago, it was hampered by less-than-ideal operating conditions.
The facility faced three main problems. The first was space. In the freezer environment - where the power and temperature control costs push cube price to a premium - every cubic inch counts. "There's a very high price to space in a freezer, so our ability to maximize the cubic footage of our freezer is critical," says Liberty president John Diduck.
The second problem was finding a way to maintain a first-in / first-out storage system that could handle the high volume of Liberty's business. The third issue was to manage the amount of labour being used for put-away and retrieval.
To solve these problems, in 2003 the company decided to give the London site a makeover. Oakville, Ontario-based Redirack Storage Systems was recruited for the job. Soon after, the facility was fitted with coolers and the existing frozen section was expanded. The renovation also included the installation of a completely new storage system. One of Redirack's senior systems design teams, headed up by David Weatherseed, applied its technical expertise in working with Liberty Freezers to solve the company's logistical challenges and meet a tight operational deadline. And at the core of the solution was the Pallet Runner.
Brisk Business
Starting at Liberty Freezers in 2002, Diduck says he aimed to fill a niche that matched his expertise, adding that he has been "servicing it like mad" ever since. The fact that he is able to inspire, innovate and delegate has allowed the enterprise to expand quickly. There are now three other Liberty facilities: two in southern Ontario (in Newmarket and Chatham) and a brand-new one in Montreal.
Diduck attributes this success to what he calls "considerable growth" in the frozen food industry over the past ten years. Supermarkets are now filled with a greater variety of home-meal replacement and microwaveable foods, thanks to more advanced freezing techniques. Safety concerns have resulted in a higher level of confidence in frozen foods vis-à-vis fresh foods. Finally, the advent of chain restaurants has led to a standardization of products and quality control standards. "The Tim Hortons doughnut you eat in Burlington (Ontario) tastes exactly the same as the one in Vancouver. Ingredients are prepared, pre-packaged and frozen," Diduck says.
Liberty operates what Diduck calls a "boutique" third-party temperature-controlled logistics service that offers personalized service for clients. Though it flies in the face of extra earnings through growth, Diduck has decided to restrict the size of his company's facilities and client base so that no one gets neglected.
"Controlled growth is incredibly important for this business, and we will control it to ensure our clients' success," Diduck says. "If the client base grows too large and diverse, you can run into scheduling problems. In the food business, the spikes all seem to come at the same time, placing a heavy demand on logistics. So who's the priority? Who gets serviced first? By limiting the size of the operation, your priorities are very clear and very manageable. It also means grouping like clients in the same building, and not over burdening it with too many of them."
A System Built for Growth
Self-imposed limitations can be tricky. If a client's business soars, how can a warehouse keep up? The answer is to design and lay out a facility with the right mix of equipment to assure flexibility.
"We need to be very flexible in the way we operate and do everything we can to assist the customer," Diduck says. "This is as much their facility as ours, which makes a lot of sense, since we don't actually own our product. For example, we do not insist on scheduling inbound loads from the manufacturing plants, such as vegetable processors, plus we offer dedicated doors for unloading."
The facility staffs 50 employees on the warehouse floor (65 in total), operating two 12-hour shifts a day seven days a week. It is run using a highly sophisticated WMS (warehouse management system) that Liberty built itself - with a Microsoft Access reporting platform - to meet its own demands and its customers' needs.
"We developed it in-house and have pushed it well beyond the scope of many packaged systems," Diduck says. "We began with the largest platform we could find and developed on it. We built wide on a wide base, which is a different philosophy than with most systems, which seem to expand outward from a narrow base. We hired a small group of programmers and taught them our business and key metrics, such as receiving, functionality, put-away, recall, lot control, LIFO (last-in / first-out), expired date control and more."
These programmers consolidated everything into one flexible program that can generate results in Access. Special modules programmed into the system allow the company to turn around any customized work (such as tempering, which is the safe warming of frozen food into refrigerator items) in 24 hours, without having to call on specialist programmers.
Finding a Framework
For its redesign, Liberty also needed good equipment. In selecting this, Diduck drew heavily on his own experience and Redirack's expertise. The racking vendor provided the site's entire storage system, building a layout designed to maximize cube while preventing bottlenecks. Its racking includes pallet flow and push back to complement the Pallet Runner module. "I travelled extensively for two years looking at different types of systems and equipment operating in both temperature-controlled and ambient environments," Diduck explains. "I knew we needed some degree of automation for reasons of productivity and labour management, but I was also aware that we needed flexibility."
The physical space of the building factored into the decision. Receiving is on one side, order staging and shipping on the other. The sides are linked by a 15-strong lift truck fleet, with double-reach trucks from Crown and counterbalanced lift trucks from Linde, all electrically powered. There is also a selection of pallet trucks, including four "long johns", which are built to handle double loads and extra-long beer pallets.
Outbound loads are on a shipping schedule, on a carrier-by-carrier basis, all based on client instructions. "We perform a high percentage of case picks at the facility," Diduck says. "It will easily handle 65 percent order assembly because of the way that it has been set up and designed and the kind of equipment that it uses."
Much of the product handled at the warehouse requires special handling. For example, in the beer section - a big part of the cooler zone - many hefty shipments of the Labatt brand must be shipped out to the US, often on a tight deadline. This demands careful planning on Liberty's part. "It is 80 percent case-pick and is highly seasonal, and it is an area where we have opted for a basic setup, with bulk storage and some standard racking for items with sensitive packaging," Diduck explains.
"The US deals with SKUs (stock keeping units) that are up to four times larger than ours. As well, there can't be more than 45 days from manufacturer to distributor, so with transit times, we have to turn every three weeks. It's a very heavy product, with up to 3,400 pounds (1,550 kg) on some loads, which is hard on equipment and dock-plates."
To help the building smoothly accommodate conditions like this, Diduck had a choice of automation options: low-level (lift trucks, single selective racking and bulk storage), medium (a high-density system that integrates some level of automation with more basic equipment) or high (full blown automated storage / retrieval systems, black-box automated sortation and mechanized order-picking). In the end, the moderate option won out.
"We are 'medium,' which gives the highest level of productivity with flexibility," he says. "We can react more quickly. Fully automated may be faster where consistency in volumes and pick rates is assured, but it has its limitations in peaks and valleys. At our facilities, if we are slammed with 50 rush orders, we can respond with rezoning, cross-docking and other measures."
As the Thermometer Drops ...
The frozen section is where this level of automation really gels with innovation. In this heavyweight area, loads are supported by hot-rolled structural steel Konstant racking from Redirack, which has lever-action bolt connections that help it to hold up to 22,700 kg (50,000 pounds) per level. "I am a big fan of structural [steel]," Diduck says. "It is much sturdier and thicker than conventional roll-formed."
"We handle loads upward of 3,000 pounds (1,360 kg) in the freezer so we need the extra strength, plus structural withstands virtually any contact by lift trucks. We worked with Redirack to ensure that our version has specially strengthened end-frames and half-inch (12 mm) plates for end-of-aisle protection."
The freezer space also has some pallet flow racking. This section inclines at floor level toward the order-pickers in the picking aisle. Once a pallet has been picked clean and removed, the pallet behind automatically 'flows' forward to take its place. This eliminates empty pick faces because any vacant slot in the row is immediately visible at the rear and can be replenished from the push back racking above.
The push back racking is located on three levels above the pallet flow racking and, like pallet flow racking, is four pallet loads deep. It provides the reserve storage locations for the pallet flow. It slopes away from the picking aisle and is serviced from the rear, allowing reach trucks to be segregated from the order-pickers. "By having opposite flows in the push back and the pallet flow racking, we are able to avoid conflict between pallet put-away on one side of the racking and case picking on the other side, with virtually no loss of productive space," Diduck says.
A Real Freezer Pleaser
The star of the freezer show, however, is the Pallet Runner, which handles the main storage block. This automated system is configured for pallet flow through, to achieve FIFO for functionality. Loads are stored and retrieved for full pallet order assembly or to replenish the pick lanes.
The system hinges on automated carts that move through warehouse racking using RF technology. After a pallet load is scanned with handheld readers and deposited at the pick face, the cart will move it as far back as warranted. Redirack's Weatherseed explains the put-away process. "The pallets are stored on a rail in their position, but instead of using an L-shaped rail, we use a Z-shaped rail. The pallets sit on the top part of the Z and the cart runs on the bottom part. The wheels on the cart drive with their own PC, and the cart moves up and down hydraulically."
The Liberty set up uses two carts to guarantee that there is always one available when needed. Each cart weighs 210 kg (462 pounds), plus a 24-volt battery. Four 150 by 40 mm (5.6 by 1.6 in) wheels ensure smooth travel along the channels built into each storage lane. "We can switch back and forth with Pallet Runner, with picking and put-away on the same side or use it as a flow through system," Diduck says. "The carts operate fully independently in the storage lanes because they sense the proximity of other loads, so know when to pick up or deposit a load, and return to the module face. While they go about their business, the reach truck operator is free to drive off with a load or go pick up a new load."
While the Pallet Runner had been used in warehouses before, the Liberty application was the first in a freezer environment. Adapting the system to function in the cold required some extra effort. The installation had to be done in the frigid onsite climate; the handheld devices and related accessories had to be treated to suit the temperatures and the Pallet Runner itself had to be conditioned to perform optimally.
He did have some initial questions about its ability to perform under chilly circumstances, and he acknowledges that there was a steep learning curve, but Diduck was very pleased once the system was up and running. "The only real concern I had related to batteries in a cold environment, and it's simply not an issue. The system will easily perform for a full shift, even in a freezer. In any case, Pallet Runner will never hang up because the cart will always return to the face of the module when it detects a low energy level, for the removal and recharge."
Furthermore, Diduck says the system has fixed the problems Liberty faced before the renovation. The system operates on a principle comparable to pallet flow, but with no incline and no chance of lighter pallets getting stuck on the tracks. This allows the company to make better use of the valuable freezer cube while keeping smooth FIFO operations. And, since the Pallet Runner is powered automatically through RF, the company is able to operate a multi-deep environment without adding workers.
Diduck estimates that the system has saved him from having to add 20,000 to 25,000 sqf to the London facility, plus at least three new pieces of equipment. He will likely use the design and layout of the building for a future warehouse.
Diduck feels that construction of another Ontario facility will happen soon. He also believes there are opportunities for growth in western Canada, perhaps even the US. "The Pallet Runner certainly has application outside of London for us."

JOHN LENNON Box Of Vision– beginning to manufacture
Filed under Uncategorized
10 responses to "JOHN LENNON Box Of Vision– beginning to manufacture"
Thanks for the update, Jon. I'm really quite excited on this new John Lennon BoV. It might be too early to ask about the price, but times are hard and I would like to be able to save for my copy. Any hints on the price range would be greatly appreciated! And how soon would the pre-ordering begin? I'm sure you'll let us know when you're ready. Thanks again.
Shame you had to make it very limited and not just like the Beatles box so that its reasonably price.
Should make the books with the full size album art available separate later on.
Jon, I am also very excited about the Lennon BoV. Can you tell us if it will be available in the loaded version like the Beatles BoV? I purchased my Beatles BoV from Retoration Hardware loaded with cd's so I didn't have to take them from my collection. No matter, I will be ordering my box either way. Can't wait.
I have been inspired to go back and buy the Beatles BoV with the announcement of the Lennon one. I have a perfect place in my CD cabinet to display both.
My question is this, about the Lennon Box: which CD's will have a storage place in the storage system? Certainly not every single release (many of which are out of print) like the first Lennon box, etc.
Any guidance on that would be appreciated.

(CNN) -- A computer virus campaign is targeting opponents of Russian President-elect Vladimir Putin, according to anti-virus software maker Symantec.
"A wave of spam e-mails promoting a rally" against the newly elected president is delivering the spyware as an attachment that appears to be a Word document. In reality, the file is a software program known as "Trojan.Dropper."
The spam e-mails began circulating sometime around March 5, according to an entry Wednesday on Symantec's official blog.
The subject lines in the e-mails call demonstrators to action with phrases like: "all to demonstration," "instructions what to do," or "meeting for the equal elections." The body of the e-mail pushes the recipient to open an attachment, purporting that it contains need-to-know information. Read More

The Nimiq satellites are a Canadian fleet of geostationary telecommunications satellites owned by the Telesat and used by satellite television providers including Bell TV and EchoStar (Dish Network). 'Nimiq' is an Inuit word used for an object or a force which binds things together. A contest in 1998 was held to choose the name of these satellites. The contest drew over 36,000 entries.
Nimiq 1[edit]
Nimiq 1 was launched on May 21, 1999 by a Proton-K Blok DM-3 rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. It was Canada's first direct broadcast digital TV satellite and was paid for by Telesat, a Canadian communications company and subsidiary of Bell Canada Enterprises.[1]
- Manufacturer: Lockheed Martin
- Satellite Type: Lockheed Martin A2100AX
- Weight: 3600 kg (about 7920 pounds)
- Dimensions: 5.8 x 2.4 x 2.4 m and a 27 m² solar array
- DC power: 120 W
- Expected lifetime: 12 years
- Transponders: 32
- Vehicle: Proton K Bloc DM 3
Nimiq 2[edit]
Nimiq 2, launched on December 29, 2002 on a Proton Breeze M rocket, includes 2 K-band transponders. Nimiq 2 provides additional bandwidth for HDTV and interactive television applications. On February 20, 2003, Nimiq 2 experienced a partial power failure and as such can only power 26 of its 32 Ku-band transponders.
Nimiq 3, 4i, 4iR[edit]
Nimiq 3 and Nimiq 4i were leased by Bell TV from DirecTV Inc. when they were already in orbit. Originally called DirectTV3 and DirectTV2 respectively, these Hughes HS-601 models were brought out of retirement and are currently used to share some of the workload from Nimiq 2 and Nimiq 1, respectively. They went online in Bell TV's stead in 2004 and 2006.
Nimiq 4i ran out of fuel and was replaced[2] by Nimiq 4iR on April 28, 2007.
Nimiq 4[edit]
Nimiq 4 was launched on September 19, 2008, by a Proton-M / Breeze M rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.[3] It will replace Nimiq 4i, and will provide advanced services such as high-definition television, specialty channels and foreign language programming.
- Manufacturer: Astrium
- Satellite Type: Astrium Eurostar E3000
- Weight: 4800 kg (about 10600 pounds )
- Dimensions: 39 m Solar array span

- Vehicle: Proton Breeze M
Nimiq 5[edit]
In 2009 Telesat announced plans to build and launch its 19th satellite, Nimiq 5. It selected International Launch Services (ILS) for the launch of the Nimiq 5 satellite in 2009.[4] Space Systems/Loral has been selected as the manufacturer for Nimiq 5.
Dish Network is expected to lease all of the 32 Ku-band transponder payload. The satellite will be located at 72.7° West longitude.
The satellite's manufacturing plan also includes contracts with the Canadian satellite industry, including multiplexers and switches from Com Dev International Ltd. and antennas from MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates, Ltd (MDA Ltd).
The Nimiq 5 satellite was shipped from the manufacturer, Space Systems Loral located in Palo Alto California, to the Baikonur Space Center in Kazakhstan, on August 18, 2009.[5] Telesat Canada contracted with International Launch Services in April 2007 for the launch of Nimiq 5 by an ILS Proton Briz M rocket.[6]
Nimiq 5 was successfully launched into space aboard a Proton M / Breeze M rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 12:19:19 pm PDT on September 17, 2009.[7]
Nimiq 6[edit]
Satellite has been be fully leased for its lifetime by Bell TV which will use it to service direct-to-home (DTH) satellite television subscribers across Canada.[8][9][10] Nimiq 6 was launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome on 17 May 2012.[10][11]

Estadísticas de Olas para Abereiddy, Otoño: Olas con Vientos Ligeros o Terrales
This image shows only the swells directed at Abereiddy that coincided with light winds or offshore conditions over a normal northern hemisphere autumn. It is based on 7252 predictions, one every 3 hours. The direction of the spokes show where quality surf generating swell comes from. Five colours represent increasing wave sizes. Very small swells of less than 0.5m (1.5 feet) high are shown in blue. Green and yellow show increasing swell sizes and highest swells greater than >3m (>10ft) are shown in red. In each graph, the area of any colour is proportional to how often that size swell occurs.
The diagram indicates that the prevailing swell direction, shown by the largest spokes, was SW (which was the same as the dominant wind direction). The chart at the bottom shows the same thing but without direction information. For example, swells larger than 1.5 feet (0.5m) coincided with good wind conditions 10% of the time, equivalent to 9 days. Open sea swells exceeding >3m (>10ft) are unlikely to happen in a normal northern hemisphere autumn but 4% of the time we expect swell in the range 2-3m (6.5-10ft) 4%, equivalent to (4 days). Taking into account the proportion of these swells that coincided with predicted offshore winds, and given the fact that Abereiddy is slightly protected from open water swells, we calculate that clean surf can be found at Abereiddy about 10% of the time and that surf is spoilt by onshore wind 37% of the time. This is means that we expect 43 days with waves in a typical northern hemisphere autumn, of which 9 days should be clean enough to surf.
IMPORTANT: Beta version feature! Swell heights are open water values from NWW3. There is no attempt to model near-shore effects. Coastal wave heights will generally be less, especially if the break does not have unobstructed exposure to the open ocean.

As a teen I had four premolars (two top, two bottom) removed before wearing braces, which worsened both my facial aesthetics and smile. After doing some research I found that it might be possible to reverse this by expanding the jaws/dental arch, without necessarily requiring dental implants to replace the missing teeth. However, I don't understand how implants can be avoided, given that the arch will be bigger (more space) which should surely require more teeth to "fill up" the space?
Arch Expansion Without Dental Implants?
Doctor Answers 8
Hi MillyS,
While you can reopen the space using Invisalign or braces, and replace the missing tooth with an implant, there is another option for widening your smile and improving your facial aesthetics -- No-Prep Veneers. I do a lot of No-Prep Veneers/Smile Improvements on patients who had 4 premolar removed during prior orthodontic treatment. With no numbing or shaving-down of your teeth needed, you can have a brilliant smile that will broaden your smile (arch expansion) and improve your profile aesthetics -- instantly.
Web reference: http://www.AtlantaDentalSpa.com
There are several options to fill spaces left by arch expansion. The ideal procedure is based on how many spaces are present and how large the spaces are. One option is orthodontics alone. Sometimes orthodontics can be used to close spaces as long as this does not ultimately casue a problem with your bite. Spamm spaces in the anterior can be close with Veneers, this may involve shaving the teeth slightly though. There are some "No Prep" veneers available, but I have seen mixed results with these. If hte spaces are as large as a missing tooth, the best treatment is a dental impant. This will both retain the bone in the area and be functional.
Web reference: http://drbdorfman.com
It sounds like you have a good understanding of your condition and options. Depending on the amount of room you have an the size of your teeth, to get the best facial esthetics it is good to expand the arch (to reverse the sunken-in look). If things work out well you will have enough space when you are done to replace the four extraacted teeth with implants. I strongl suggest you consider periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodonticcs. This will give you the best expansion result in terms of size, physiology and stablity. This technique was originally developed by the Wilcko brothers. While it was poo-pood at first, it has lately had great acclaim and is changing the baradigm of adult orthodontics.

Using Invisalign we can move the teeth forword in a serial progression so that the teeth move forward in the jaw bone. It would add to your profile a little as well. I guess it all depends on what you want from this type of treatment and the willingness to be in treatment for a while.
Extraction of 4 premolars for braces was very common in previous years. Now a days it is less common and the reason is exacly what your complaint is about. It pushes everything back to close the spaces and your profile changes.
You are correct in your observation that if you expand the arches you will create more space. The question is how much space? Can you live with small spaces behind the canine teeth?
It is possible to create several small spaces which can be closed with bonding or veneers, but this means doing more stuff to your teeth and additional cost (and will make them slightly bigger). If you have small teeth or if you wish to improve the shape and color of the teeth then it may be a good option. If you are happy with the way the teeth look now, then not a good option.
I recommend a couple of consultations from experienced orthodontists. I am not an orthodontist but you should ask them if it may be possible to expand the arches and move the teeth forward to give you a fuller profile without creating spaces. This would be ideal.
If you wish to create a full space for each extracted premolar and replace with an implant to get back to your original arch size, I'm going to advice against this. This would be quite difficult and would take a long time to do. Not to mention, very expensive.
Hope this helps
Dr. T
You are right, the reopening of space will leave... a SPACE. Implants are the best solution, but a dental bridge or partial denture are also options. Discuss all options and possibilities with your restoring dentist and you should be able to make the best decision for yourself.
Web reference: http://www.bestseattledentist.com/
The case when premolars are extracted prior to orthodontic treatment happens very often. There are multiple limitations with dental arch expansion and arch expansion in some cases require surgical involvement. Implants are used in some cases when posterior teeth are absent. The best way to define future steps are to consult with the specialist.
It sounds like the removal of the four premolars left you with a narrow constricted arch which means you have a narrow smile. If this is the case then expansion or moving the teeth outwards towards the cheeks may help in giving you a more proportioned smile. Pure expansion does not create spaces between your teeth and therefore no implants or replacement of teeth is required. You need to check with your doctor to make sure the conditions are right to preform this expansion. Hope this helps.

More often than not, the units provided by self storage companies have different sizes. Storage facility owners know that each customer has his special needs so it is important that the company will be able to provide rooms of varied sizes.
To help you determine the unit that you will need, here is a guide to the most common storage space sizes available at both Lone Star Self Storage in Austin, Texas and many self-storage facilities elsewhere.
The smallest unit that is provided by a self storage company is usually 5 by 5 feet. The size of this room is similar to a small bathroom. Some of the things that you can store inside a room this size include several boxes of office supplies or documents and some garden tools. In order to make the most of the space, ensure that the boxes are stacked up and small items such as vases, bottles, or printers are stored inside a box.
The next-size space is the 5 feet by 10 feet units. Here you can store some furniture, such as beds, small chairs and several boxes. If you need a bit of space for office equipment and other inventory of your company, this is ideal for you.
For those who are moving from a big house into a small apartment, you probably need a bigger room to rent in a self storage facility. The 10 by 10 or the 10 by 15 units may necessary. If you only have to store the furniture and decorations in two of your bedrooms or family room, you'll likely only need the 10 by 10 feet space.
If you need to store majority of the furnishings of a three-bedroom house or a medium sized office, then you should consider the 10 by 15 feet of storage space.
The 10 by 20 feet unit in self storage is usually the biggest you can find. With this much space, you can store business files, office supplies, inventory and equipment of your company or business. The room is typically big enough to store the furnishings of a 5-bedroom home.

In the United States, there are currently more than 400,000 children living in foster care. Children's Bureau provides support and comfort to Indiana's children in foster care, foster families and young adults transitioning from foster care to independence. Today, Children's Bureau received a helping hand from mattress retailer Mattress Firm and the Ticket to Dream Foundation with a $75,000 donation.
Funds for the donation were raised during a Mattress Firm fundraiser benefiting the Ticket to Dream foundation, an organization that supports foster children nationwide. The event raised $1.2 million to fund therapeutic programs and emergency placement services that provide foster kids with mental health support and comfort during a difficult time.
"This support will be critical in assisting Children's Bureau as we work with our community partners to address the child welfare crisis in Indiana," said Tina Cloer, president and CEO of the agency. Funds will be used to provide needed items for kids awaiting foster care placement, young adults who have aged out of foster care, and to recruit new foster families.
"When a foster child enters foster care, it can be scary. They often leave home with just the clothes on their backs or a few items in a trash bag," said Mauri Knowles, Community Relations Director at Mattress Firm. "We can help make this transition so much easier, while also letting kids know that their community cares."

About Children's Bureau, Inc.
Children's Bureau services focus on the prevention of child abuse and neglect, preservation of families and placement for children who lack safe and healthy homes. Last year the agency served nearly 43,644 children in more than 40 Indiana counties.

Children's Bureau's Director of Adoption Recruitment and Retention Anna Wolak was featured in an RTV6 story about the Indiana Heart Gallery and its work to create awareness for special needs adoptions in the state.
These excerpts come courtesy of the Umps Care Charities newsletter that features our own CB employee, Cadence "Zoe" Cottom.
Do you have any advice for others who can relate to your journey?
Being in foster care and being adopted makes you different than other kids. But I never saw this as a bad thing. I matured at a very young age and learned how to be independent. My advice is to realize how amazing you are for making it through all of the things you've had to deal with. It isn't easy, and it isn't even our fault, but we're the ones that have to deal with it. So give yourself a break. Focus on getting through the struggle one day at a time. Because once you reach the other side, you're a better person because of what you've been through. This journey taught me empathy and compassion and that the best things in life aren't things, but the people you love most.
Your last semester has been spent working a full-time and in school full-time. What exactly are you doing and who are you working for?
This semester has been very hard for me! I've juggled a 40 hour work week while taking 13 credit hours (5 classes). It started last semester when I interned at Children's Bureau, Inc. in Indianapolis for a class requirement. As my internship was ending in December, a position opened up. I was so excited to apply that I didn't even stop to think about how I'd manage school and work. I am now the recruitment coordinator for Indiana Adoption Program (contracted out of Children's Bureau, Inc.). My job has many facets but I'll name just a few. First, I work with Adoption Champions all over the state to set up educational events in their communities to recruit prospective parents to adopt waiting children in foster care. I also manage our social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). And my favorite part of my job is organizing Adoption Meet & Greet Events. These events are designed to be fun and interactive for prospective families and children in the hopes of facilitating a match. For example, we have done bowling, basketball, and LEGO-themed events, to name a few. It's a really great aspect of our program because it allows prospective parents to meet 25-35 children in foster care at one time. It allows the prospective parents to go beyond just a photo and biography and actually meet the child. Getting to see a child and prospective parent connect is the most rewarding aspect of the job!
How did you decide to come full-circle and help other children in the foster care system?
Throughout middle school and high school I carried a lot of hostility and animosity. I couldn't understand why I had to endure all of the pain that I did. I set my mind to becoming nothing like my biological parents. So I started off my college career as a pharmacy student. I wanted to make a lot of money and be successful on my own. During my sophomore year I started to change mindsets and realized that I didn't want to have a job based on money. I wanted to do something to change lives. I initially thought about law school, but instead chose sociology because that was the closest thing Butler offered to social work. Giving back to the system has been a goal since I changed my major. I know that many people have negative feelings about "the system" and DCS, but it saved my life. And while I can never repay that, I can help teens and youth who are in the same place I was just ten years ago! Many people have the misconception that they can't change the lives of teens in foster care, but that couldn't be further from the truth. These teens not only want families, but can thrive with families. I wouldn't be who I am today if my mom hadn't taken a chance and adopted me at the age of 13.

Those familiar with Thomas Lynch's excellent book The Undertaking will find many of the same themes repeated in this collection of essays. Indeed, they have all been published previously in journals, magazines and newspapers or broadcast on the radio, and there is a good deal of overlap between them. Lynch is a poet and an undertaker, although he is probably now most well-known for his writings on the topic of death. His opinions are thoughtful and make a great deal of sense. He defends the importance of his profession against criticisms from those influenced by Jessica Mitford's The American Way of Death, and indeed, one of the pieces here is a review of the revised edition of the book, The American Way of Death Revisited, ironically published just after her own death. He argues that it is important to commemorate the passing of our loved ones, especially because it enables people to understand and better accept their loss. He argues that funerals are for the living, and what's more, going against the trend for prearranged funerals so that parents should not be burdens to their children, Lynch suggests that his children should have the burden of disposing of his remains when he dies.
"My funeral will belong to them and they will be paying for it emotionally, financially, actually. Since they have to live with the decisions, why shouldn't they make them? If I've done my job, then they'll know what to do. If the burden of my death, borne honorably, makes them feel as capable as bearing the sweet burden of their births has made me feel, I can do them the favor of leaving well enough alone." (p. 183)
Lynch also is suspicious of the increasing corporatization of the mortuary trade, in which family businesses are bought out by large multinational companies such as SCI, Loewen, or Stewart Enterprises. He refers to them disparagingly as McFuneral. He notes without regret in a later essay that this trend seems to be coming to an end, and that the stocks for these companies has been falling precipitously. His is proud of his family's tradition of service to his local community in Michigan.
However, Lynch's essays on newer topics are the more interesting parts of this book. There's a short piece on the ethics of abortion. Lynch is a Catholic, yet defends a woman's right to decide whether to end her pregnancy. He also argues that men should be part of the decision-making process, and he regrets the words people use to talk about these issues, arguing that the decision is a personal one, requiring intimate language. In a short piece on deaths that have particularly gained public attention, such as Princess Diana and John Kennedy, Jr., he suggests that the great response to these deaths derives from an incomplete mourning of people's more personal losses, which they tend not to face squarely on.
Lynch is at his most absorbing when he writes about the alcoholism in his family, in the essay "The Way We Are." His father had been an alcoholic, but died after twenty-five years sobriety. Lynch himself became dependent on alcohol after his divorce, and started attending meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous, which he found very helpful, even if the simple sayings and slogans of AA are galling to him. He writes about his son's addiction to alcohol and drugs very movingly. His son started using in his freshman year of high school and at the time Lynch wrote this essay, his son, now in his twenties, was still using, and Lynch lives with the constant knowledge that his son's life is in real danger. It hurts Lynch to be unable to save his son, but he has to face the awful truth that there is only a limited amount that he can do. He says that he has learned to pray to God, not asking for help, but giving thanks, and in doing so, finding things to be thankful for. This may not be a solution available to all parents of alcoholics, but it's noteworthy that it is helpful to anyone. Lynch writes powerfully and intimately about his life and the world around him, and these essays are rewarding reading.

- 8 oz. green beans
- 1¼ lb. skinless salmon filet
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the potatoes, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, and remaining tablespoon oil. Stir in the parsley, dill and lemon zest.
- Add the green beans to the pan with the potatoes; toss to combine. Push the potatoes and green beans to the edges of the pan.
- Place the salmon in the center of the pan. Spread the herb mixture over the salmon and roast until the salmon is opaque throughout and the potatoes are golden brown and tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
