This application is a Continuation-in-Part of U.S. Ser. No. 487,190 filed July 10, 1974, now abandoned, which was a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 307,613 filed Nov. 17, 1972, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to wired broadcasting systems by which a number of television or other programmes may be transmitted through a distribution network to a plurality of subscribers who are able to select desired programmes.
Various systems have been proposed to make a number of television transmissions available to subscribers, and a system which has been developed by the applicants which offers a number of advantages over alternative systems is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,693,090 based on the use of programme exchanges serving a group of subscribers each of whom has his own individual vision circuit to the programme exchange, provided by a twisted pair of conductors with intersticial conductors associated with each pair for the transmission of signals for controlling switch means at the programme exchange whereby any of a number of programmes may be selected by the subscriber and applied to the twisted pair vision circuit for transmission to that subscriber. In general a number of such programme exchanges distributed over the network area receive a number of colour transmissions through a trunk network from a central programme station, commonly referred to as the transmitter.
Such a system is extremely versatile and may be used not only for the transmission of vision signals from the programme exchanges to the individual subscribers, but a wide range of other facilities can be provided. Thus for example information or instructions originating at the subscriber's premises can be transmitted through the programme exchanges to central equipment, and if required vision signals can be so transmitted. Systems of this kind could be used for simple selective signals to be passed from the subscriber to a central station, for example for alarm circuits or for remote reading of gas, electricity and water meters. Also signals may be transmitted to the subscriber for the control of heating, lighting and safety functions. Apart from these comparatively simple operations involving little more than signalling conditions, this equipment can also make use of the vision channels for subscription television, for assessing programme popularity, for subscriber polling purposes, and for computer assisted teaching and information retrieval systems, in which various signals have to be transmitted from the subscribers to a central station.
Certain of these additional facilities however require the transmission of more information than can easily be transmitted over the wired network by direct current signalling methods or by step-by-step switching methods, in which method signals are transmitted over the interstricial pair of conductors extending between each subscriber and the programme exchange to which he is connected.
Accordingly the present invention provides a wired broadcasting system in which each of a group of subscriber's stations is connected to a programme exchange through a signal path which comprises two pairs of conductors respectively for the transmission of high frequency television signals and lower frequency audio and control signals, controlling switch means coupled with the programme exchange and operable by control signals generated by a subscriber to make a programme selection and to apply to the subscriber's high frequency conductor pair any selected one of a number of programmes, means at said subscriber station for communicating control signals over said lower frequency conductor pair to operate said controlling switch means to select a desired one of said programmes at said programme exchange, a central data processing station for sending coded signal data to said programme exchange with the video signals of each of said programmes and coupled by said switch means through the higher frequency conductors to the subscriber station, whereby said coded data is sent to each subscriber station from said programme exchange over said higher frequency conductors along with vision signals of any selected one of said programmes, means located at subscriber's stations for modifying data received from said central data processing station with local data and returning said modified data over said high frequency conductors to said programme exchange at a frequency different from that at which data is received at said subscriber station, and means for returning to the central processing station from each subscriber station through further switch means at least a portion of said modified data.
The transmission of information between the subscriber's station and a central processing station is effected by the repeated transmission of a train of pulsed binary signals utilising frequency shift 0/1 signals transmitted over the vision network in a frequency band selected so that interference with the vision circuits is avoided or can be eliminated by suitable circuit devices.
The central processing station is arranged to transmit binary frequency shift signals into the vision trunk circuits at the nearest convenient point so that the signals transmitted by the central station reach every subscriber via the selection switch provided at the subscriber's terminal station, these signals in effect interrogating the subscriber's stations in every position of the subscriber's selector switches even with a particular selector switch in the off position in which no vision signal has been selected and the television equipment is out of use.
In order that the invention may be more readily understood, one embodiment thereof will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a block schematic diagram of a wired broadcasting system in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram, partly in block form of the directional coupler embodied in the invention;
FIG. 3 shows schematically, partially by block diagrams, subscriber station circuitry for deriving binary coded signals;
FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 shows in block schematic diagram, circuits at the subscriber station for processing and modifying coded signals;
FIG. 7 shows in block schematic diagram a frame snatcher arrangement for the subscriber station;
FIG. 8 shows in block diagram form coded signal processing and storage circuits at the subscriber station;
FIG. 9 is a block diagram of the central data processing station; and
FIG. 10 is a block circuit diagram of programme exchange circuit connections.
Referring to FIG. 1, the wired broadcasting system shown comprises a central programme station 1 connected to programme exchanges, two of which are shown at 2 and 3 respectively, by means of a trunk network which may typically comprise a plurality of co-axial cables four of which are shown at 4,5,6 and 7 although in a practical system many more, for example thirty five would be used. Each cable of the trunk network is arranged to convey one television programme between the central station 1 and each of the programme exchanges 2,3.
At each programme exchange a plurality of programme selection switches are provided. Each selection switch is connected to a respective one of a plurality of subscriber stations 8-15 by means of a respective one of a plurality of cables 16-23. Each of cables 16-23 has a twisted pair of conductors suitable for the transmission of high frequency television signals having associated therewith an intersticial pair of conductors suitable for the transmission of audio frequency and control signals.
The subscribers programme selection switches may be controlled by the subscribers to derive signals from any one of the trunk cables and are arranged to be connected to derive signals from one of the trunk cables whether or not the corresponding subscriber station is operative. Accordingly, signals injected into every one of the trunk cables will reach every subscriber station irrespective of the state of the subscriber station. A central data processing station 24 is arranged to inject information or data signals into the trunk network at any convenient point. As shown in the drawing this is, in this example, between the central station 1 and the first programme exchange 2. These information or data signals will be transmitted through the network to every subscriber irrespective of the state of his terminal equipment. The information or data signals comprise frequency shift binary representative pulse signals and after reception by the subscriber are returned in modified form to the data station 24 over separate cables 25,26 extending between the programme exchanges 2, 3 and said data station 24. Conveniently, the information or data returned by the subscribers equipment to the data station 24 has a frequency double that of the interrogating signal and modifies or adds thereto various characters as determined by the subscribers equipment and/or by the programme exchanges.
The cables 24,26 linking each programme exchange 2,3 to the data station 24 are 12-pair cables each pair of which is used on a time division multiplex basis sequentially to transmit the signals from the subscribers of a group of say 28 subscribers connected to the programme exchange, assuming the case of a programme exchange intended to serve 336 subscribers in all.
At the programme exchanges 2,3, each pair of the 12-pair cables 25,26, is connected to the rotor connection of a continuously driven stepping switch shown diagramatically at 27,28, the stationary contacts of which are each connected to the control pair of a corresponding one of the 28 subscribers. The continuously driven switches 27,28, may have a number of unused positions, for example, eight positions in the case of a 36-way switch used with 28 subscribers, and these eight positions are adapted by connecting some of the stationary contacts to suitable potential sources to transmit a code signal into the respective pair of the 12-pair cable to identify at the central processing station 24 the particular group of 28 subscribers associated with that switch.
Thus the central processing station 24 interrogates all the subscribers over the vision channels at a very high rate and the signal received by each subscriber is stored together with any desired information from the subscriber, ready for transmission to the central processing station at that time when a transmission path extends back to it from that subscriber's station. The information or data signal fed into the trunk cable of each different vision programme differs in respect of the initial part of the message to define the programme channel. It will be appreciated that the information or data returned to the central processing station through the pairs of the 12-pair cable will thus identify the programme to which the subscriber is connected at the particular instant concerned, and additional information inserted by the subscriber's equipment will identify the particular subscriber, enabling computer-like systems at the central processing station to perform any required operation, for example, billing or programme popularity determination.
Even if the subscriber's equipment is switched off the equipment will still be switched to derive signals from one of the trunk cables so that an appropriate response continues to be received from the subscriber's equipment. The selector switches 27, 28, at the programme exchanges may be connected to each subscriber for say 250mS every few seconds, say up to 20 or 30 secs. and during this connection the central processing station is able to receive the return message set up by the immediately preceding interrogation of the subscriber over the trunk cable to which his equipment is switched. The subscriber's equipment includes means 29-36 for responding to and modifying the information or data signals. This equipment includes means to serve as a buffer store, for example, a magnetic core or solid state logic store or, in a simple arrangement, a switch or knob set by the subscriber in response to voting or opinion seeking or forming part of an instructional system.
A plurality of directional couplers 37-44 are provided for returning the signals from the subscribers responding equipment 29-36, and low pass HF filters 45-48 are provided to combine the outputs of the central data processing station with the TV signals on cables 4-7.
The frequency shift signals used may be as follows:
0 = 110KHz
1 = 140Hz
This frequency shift signal is doubled in frequency at the subscriber's station and it is these frequency shift signals which are returned on a time multiplex basis to the central processing station through the selector switches 27,28, at the programme exchanges and through the 12-pair cables 25,26. It will of course be understood that 12-pair connecting cables 25,26, may be replaced by a carrier wave system with say 12 carrier frequencies spaced by nominal 80KHz intervals carried by a single, common cable.
The message transmitted from the central processing station may comprise the following groups of signals or "words":
A = 3 bits, which is the master reset signal for subscriber located memory stores and may include a timing function for synchronising remote signalling oscillators.
B = 10 bits, including a parity bit, which labels the vision channel, e.g. 0 to 35 and also provides information on the type of television programme, e.g. free, educational, or fee-paying, and may also provide pricing information.
C = 16 bits, (including parity) which is specifically allocated to subscribers' addresses and also provides means for addressing students' "frame snatch" equipment in connection with teaching and library application, to permit a stationary picture to be held for study, or to permit a student to reply by selective switch operation.
D = 10 bits; this carries the basic instruction from the processing equipment to subscriber's local stores and condition the subscriber's equipment to deal with the specific function, i.e. any of the various services for which the equipment is designed.
E = 16 bits with parity; this is a data shift signal which empties or samples the subscriber's buffer store, which may be a core or solid state logic store, or may be a button set by subscriber in response to voting or opinion-seeking or teaching vision picture or sound messages.
The complete five word 55-bit message is accepted continuously by all subscribers' equipment but returned to the central processing station from each subscriber in 250mS dwell times repeated say every 30 secs. The minimum bit rate for at least two messages (one repeat) is therefore: 110/250 mS = 440 bauds
for any subscriber's output signal.
The minimum bit rate for signal processing equipment to sample say 30,000 subscribers for urgent functions with a 30 second recurring cycle is: (55 30,000)/30 = 55,000 bauds
The central processing station 24 will produce and transmit a message sequence for each vision channel available. All messages at any moment will only differ in word B information (programme or channel labelling), i.e. words A and C to E will be common.
All returned signals to the central processing station pass through the selector switch 27,28, at the programme exchange and the multi-circuit cables 25,26.
The message sequence received at a particular subscriber will be modified in two ways before return to the central processing station via the programme exchange.
1. The carrier frequency is doubled,
2. The message format is modified by the information and instructions added by the subscriber or subscribers' equipment.
A typical message format will include the following words:
A. as transmitted.
B. a signal indicating that the subscriber's receiver is in use.
C. first 8 bits blank (awaiting labelling at exchange for selector identification) and the second 8 bits carry the information derived from the use of the subscriber's equipment.
D. as transmitted.
E. the data called up by D from the subscriber's store.
An overriding alarm facility to warn of damage to the cable in burglary or fire may be provided. This alarm operates automatically when a test programme fails to obtain any information from a particular subscriber when other subscribers in the same group of 28 subscribers are returning signals normally.
Having described the structure and operation of the system of FIG. 1 in general terms, components of that system will now be described in detail.
Referring to FIG. 2, the directional coupler 37 is illustrated and comprises terminals 49, 50 and 51 connected respectively to subscriber station 8, signal modifier 29, and cable 16. Data signals pass in each direction through terminal 51, received data signals passing to the subscriber station through terminal 49 and returning after modification through terminal 50. A band pass/filter 52 having a pass band of 220 to 280 KHz is located between the coupler and terminal 50 to prevent incoming data signals at 110-140 kHz and television signals in the band 3-10 MHz from "seeing" the output impedance of the equipment signal modifier 29. This prevents unnecessary attenuation and provides isolation between the go and return frequency shift signals.
Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 4, the detailed arrangement of the subscriber station 8 will be described. Incoming signals from directional coupler 37 are separated by a high pass filter 53 passing the television signals in the band 3-10 MHz and a low pass filter 54 passing the data signals at 110-140 kHz. The `0` data signals at 110 kHz and the `1` data signals at 140 are applied to band pass filters 55 and 56 respectively. The separated signals at 110 and 140 kHz are applied to simple frequency doublers 57, 58 respectively which operate in the same way as a bi-phase power rectifier to provide second harmonic return signals at 220 and 280 kHz respectively. Band pass filters 59, 60 are provided for these return signals in order to give them satisfactory spectral purity. The outputs of filters 53, 59, 60 are applied to the subscribers signal modifier 29 (FIGS. 4, 5 and 6). The separated data signals at carrier frequency provided at the outputs of filter 55, 56 are amplified and then applied to frequency dividers 61, 62 to provide inputs to an OR gate 63, the output of which is applied a further divider 64 as a 110 Hz controlling signal to a phase locked oscillator 65 comprising a comparator 66 and oscillation source 67. The output of the oscillator 65 is passed through a limiter 68 and the limited signal is employed as a clock.
The amplified data signals which are applied to dividers 61 and 62 are also rectified by diodes 69, 70 and applied through an AND gate 71 to the reset input of an address shift register 72. A further gate 73 is arranged in the reset input circuit to prevent false resetting during the transmission of bits 41-55 of the data. The data word A, which is the master reset and sync signal, consists of the simultaneous transmission of three noughts and three ones which therefore cause an output to appear at the reset terminal of the address shift register 72. The data pulse which is shifted through this register is generated from the reset pulse through a differentiator network 74 and applied to the data pulse input.
The word outputs from the shift register comprise bits 4-13 for word B, bits 23-30 for the second half of word C, the first half being generated at the exchanges 2 and 3 as will be explained later, bits 31-40 for word D and bits 41-55 for word E. The corresponding output terminals of the shift register are applied to OR gates 75-78 the outputs of which are applied as one input to respective subsequent AND gates 79-82. The other inputs of AND gates 79-82 receive generated data from terminal Q of a flip flop 83 which receives the rectified input data signals from diodes 69,70 at its input terminals R and S.
Details of the subscribers data responding and modifying equipment 29 are shown in FIGS. 5 to 8. The frequency doubled data signals provided at the outputs of filters 59, 60 (FIG. 3) are applied to relay contacts RLY 1 and 2 (FIG. 5) and are normally returned via OR gates 84, 85 and balun 86 to the directional coupler 37 (FIG. 2) and thence to the central data processing station. Throughout the duration of the word E the relay contacts RLY 1 and RLY 2 are actuated as a result of energisation of the relay coils RLY 1 and RLY 2 respectively by the rectified E word signal. The E word signal is applied to the relay coils via terminal 87 from the output of gate 82 (FIG. 4). When the relay coils RLY 1 and RLY 2 are actuated, the returning data is directed to a pair of controlling AND gates 88, 89 the other inputs of which are controlled by a shift register arranged to receive subscriber generated data by way of a keyboard and associated diode matrix 91 and non subscriber controlled data by way of a further diode matrix and television receiver on/off indicating relay 92. The shift register 90 receives clock pulses from the output of limiter 68 (FIG. 4) under the control of the D and E words applied to an OR gate 93 the output of which controls an AND gate 94 through which the clock signals are applied to the appropriate terminal of the shift register 90. The shift register 90 is also arranged to be reset by the reset pulse generated at the output of gate 71 (FIG. 4). It should be noted that as the E word comprises a simultaneous transmission of 0 and 1 data, parts of which are removed by the shift register controlled gates of FIG. 5 to provide the return data signal, the reset gate of FIG. 4 could see this simultaneous transmission as a start signal and thus reset the shift register 72 of FIG. 4. In order to prevent this false operation the E word is applied through an inverter 95 to the AND gate 73 arranged in the path of the resetting signal for the shift register 72.
As is apparent the shift register 90 of FIG. 5 is arranged to clock data both by the D word and the E word. The D word clocks out data generated automatically by auxiliary equipment at the subscribers premises whilst the E word enables data from the subscribers keyboard to be clocked out.
FIG. 6 shows the programme label display. This receives the B word from gate 79 (FIG. 4). Part of the B word is passed via AND gate 96 which also receives clock pulses into a first shift register, 97, which when full, enables, by means of an inverter 98 and an AND gate 99, a second shift register 100 to receive the remaining part of the B word. The data in the shift registers 97 and 100 is applied as B C D data to corresponding decoder and LED display modules 101 and 102 respectively. The module 101 associated with the first shift register 97 is arranged to display numerals so as to be capable of indicating the channel number of the programme being received, whilst the display module 102 associated with the second shift register 100 is arranged to display letter characters to indicate the class of programme, for example general off-air, pay television and cost class and educational. The register 97 and 100 and modules 101 and 102 are reset by the reset output from gate 71 (FIG. 4).
FIG. 7 shows a frame snatcher arrangement. In this the HF television signal is received at terminal 103 from filter 53 (FIG. 3) detected, and applied to a synchronising separator and television line counter 104 and a field number identifying gate 105. The field identifying number is applied to a counter 106 which is associated with a counter and register 107 arranged to receive the second half of the C word at terminal 108 from gate 80 (FIG. 4). Alternatively 107 may be set by a manual register set control 109 set to correspond with the number of the frame it is desired to snatch. The counter 106 and counter and register 107 have their outputs connected to a series of gates 110 so as to provide an output signal when the received frame corresponds with that directed to the student by a computer instructional programme or which corresponds with that chosen by the subscribers by operation of 109 to provide an enabling signal by means of which that frame of the television picture is snatched and placed in a television field store 111. This is a well known arrangement which can provide a repetitive output to a vision modulator 112 a signal from which modulator can replace the incoming television programme under the control of HF gates 113, 114 and 115. The modulator 112 receives the output of an oscillator 116.
FIG. 8 shows an enabling system by means of which the various data stores at the subscribers ' premises can be conditioned as and when required to return their output signals to the central data processing station. This arrangement takes the D word from gate 81 (FIG. 4) at terminal 117 and passes the D word data to its own shift register 118. In order that the shift register 118 may be fully loaded before the enabling signals are generated, a signal detector and delay arrangement including single shot monostable 119 is provided from the D word input to one input of each of a series of gates 120 arranged of the signal lines of the shift register and a diode matrix 121. Thus only when the shift register 118 is completely full are its output lines connected to the matrix 121. This matrix 121 may be hard wired with the subscribers address and in respect of the various auxiliary functions which any particular subscriber may wish to use. The shift register 118 is cleared by a second single shot monostable 122 the output of which is applied to the register reset terminal through an inverter 123. The clocking of the shift register 118 is arranged to occur only at the desired times by applying the clock signal thereto through a NOR gate 124 which has associated therewith a pulse counter 125 which itself is cleared by the overall resetting pulse generated at the output of gate 71 (FIG. 4).
The outputs of the diode matrix 121, i.e. D1, D2, etc, are enabling signal inputs for the various subscribers input functions of FIG. 5.
FIG. 9 is a block diagram of the central data processing station. A programme labelling device 126 operates to label channels by the same technique as the subscriber generates his return data during E word (FIG. 5) except that at the data station the keyed signals are locally generated waves at 110-140 kHz. The programme labelling of each channel made available is controlled by a main processor 127 such as a DATA GENERAL SUPER NOVA mini computer having a 32,000 word core store including multiprogramme protection. This together with its associated equipment is standard computing apparatus. The main processor receives the group of sequential data from the switches 27, 28 and is linked to a Virtual Memory 128, for example a high speed fixed head per truck disc memory such as the PPL Series 100 Disc Memory marketed by Process Peripherals Limited, to peripherals 129 such as card readers, magnetic tapes, line printers and CRT terminal display and to a Data Base 130 formed for example by IBM compatible removable media movable head disc memory having for example 50m bit characters. All this apparatus is available from current production and can be connected together in a manner well understood by those familiar with computing techniques and hence no details are described herein.
Referring to FIG. 10, the exchange 2 comprises one set of selector switches 131, the set comprising four separate switches each capable of connecting to respective subscriber cable 16, 17, 18 or 19 to any one of the four channels 4, 5, 6, 7. Only four channels and four subscribers are shown to simplify the description. In a practical installation, twelve sets of selector switches would be provided per exchange, each set comprising 28 separate switches serving 28 subscribers and each switch enabling connection of its respective subscriber to any one of 36 channels.
When a subscriber wishes to view a programme on a particular channel, he applies control signals to his selector switch in the set of switches 131 in the manner described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,693,090 so that the switch moves to the selected channel. The selected HF television signal and the data signals which are applied to every channel are passed to the subscribers cable 16, 17, 18 or 19 via a 110-140 KHz band pass filter 132. Modified data signals returned to the exchange from the subscriber station are passed via a 220-280 KHz band pass filter 133 to the control switch 27 (FIG. 1).
The control switch 27 comprises a simple data signal generator which operates in the same way as the subscribers' equipment during E word. This data signal generator is caused to operate during the first half of the C word so as to label the signals returned from each subscriber receiving signals from that exchange with a code indicative of that particular exchange. This will indicate to the central data processing equipment the general location of the subscriber, the signals pertaining to any particular subscriber being resolved by the serial position of his message in the data returned from the control switch 27 to the data station. Each control switch 27 may comprise a motor driven reed switch of the same kind as is employed by the subscriber at the programme exchange for programme selection. The control switch also includes a store to convert the subscriber messages to a sequential stream which can be sent at high speed back to the central data processing station.
It should also be noted that the outgoing data signals from the central data processing station 24 are coupled to the signal lines 4 to 7 by means of band pass filters of the kind employed at the programme exchange 2.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Jeb Bush's presidential run in Florida was supposed to be a coronation. Instead, it's shaping up as a momentous clash against his one-time protégé, Marco Rubio.
At a Republican presidential forum here on Tuesday, many of the state's well-heeled lobbyists, elite business leaders and grizzled power-brokers — some of them longtime Bush friends and allies — expressed a growing sense that the former governor was losing momentum in Florida's all-important, winner-take-all March primary.
Story Continued Below
The likely beneficiary: Rubio, a once-junior figure on the state's bare-knuckled political scene who — with his powerful rhetorical style, fresh political image and compelling personal story — is proving his mettle on the national stage.
"People here have been surprised by his staying power. They thought he'd be done," said Adam McKinnon, a Republican consultant and Rubio supporter who is the grandson of former Florida GOP Sen. Paula Hawkins. "Marco is a more mature person than they remember. They remember him as a kid who won a state House seat."

In the 1960s and '70s a district rose to the southeast of Amsterdam (Bijlmermeer), with modernist high-rises situated in a park-like landscape. 'A city projected onto the happiness of the people who live there,' said the alderman responsible on the eve of striking the fits pylon for the utopian city in December 1966. However, it didn't turn out that way. Manufacturing a society proved somewhat bumpy; it was not the educated working class that moved to the Bijlmermeer, but rather people from Surinam, Ghana and the Antilles. The Bijlmermeer became known as an area with big management problems.
In 1990 came the first proposals for a renewal of the Bijlmermeer. The elevated avenues were lowered and the large parking garages demolished. This knocked away the whole foundation of the Bijlmermeer - the primacy of the pedestrian vanished and the car drove onto the surface level - the bankruptcy of the planning machine was made painfully visible. More than half the high-rises were torn down and replaced by low-rise buildings.
In 2003, renewal could be seen all over the place. The Bijlmermeer became a success with its own population. Nowhere in the Netherlands do you see so many non-native residents in owner-occupied apartments as in the Bijlmermeer.
We – two boys of five and seven years old, mother and father and two cats - exchanged Amsterdam South for Amsterdam Southeast (the new name for the Bijlmermeer) in 1996. In Territorium I looked at the renewal operation as a resident. I photographed and interviewed my neighbours on the Bijlmerdreef; I tracked my children in this multicultural environment and sketched the identity of the place.

momstown itself is a unique and powerful business, and I believe that what sets us apart is our team. This is why momstown holds two conferences a year, and why both professional development and collaborative exercises are on the agenda. Each momstown owner is personally invested in seeing all the other momstown owners succeed, because we understand that our own success depends on the growth and success of the whole team. As a result, the sharing of knowledge and resources that we do in our sessions, from the Team Apprentice Challenge to our round table discussions on membership, sales & sponsorship, social media and team development, is nothing short of phenomenal.
I also spent 4 days networking, collaborating, and laughing together with 25 other women whose job it is to connect and support moms and families every day; who are deeply involved in their own families and local communities; and who are driven by their passion for making a difference. Imagine realizing that together you are the leading parent-focused social media and events company in Canada, and that your combined #momstownconf tweets over the weekend reached nearly 2 million impressions. Now imagine the possibilities of what your business will achieve when the momstown team is doubled, or even tripled. Is it motivating? Empowering? You betcha.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the incredible planning and leadership of our momstown HQ. If our team is great, it's because we stand on the shoulders of giants. Thank you to the dream team: Ann-Marie, Christy, Ally and Heather, for all the work that went into organizing our amazing conference and sponsors. It was so worth it. I miss you, my momstown family! Here's to us, and here's to a Western conference in the near future! ;)

A huge oak tree, so proud and strong,
Said to some swaying reeds:
"My strength will see me through all storms.
I have no other needs."
The reeds were dancing in the wind,
With roots deep in the stream:
"You may be big, you may be strong,
But we're stronger than we seem."
That night a storm attacked them all.
And how that wind did scream!
It uprooted the huge strong oak tree
Which fell down in the stream.
The reeds said quietly to the tree:
"There's something we all knew.
There may be strength in size and weight,
But in grace and litheness too."

I believe that to have no pride in what you do in life is also a crime. Telling others, all the time, that you are the best perhaps is not. This will make a good discussion for your class.

Wonder if anyone can help me out here,
My form looks great on the editor and preview, but when I embed it on the site I need it on,
the submit button sort of shifts from its original position and moves towards the centre.
My button is actually aligned to the right.

Some suggest fashion choices should be governed by a particular set of rules - many of which can be deemed as antiquated. By giving this type of fashion advice, it's as if fashion, or one's taste and lifestyle remain the same, or should I say undisturbed. On the contrary, in my world, fashion has the ability to ebb and flow within every aspect of my life. Fashion Iconology is my method of interpretation, and I embrace it with my whole heart. It's not about the actual garments, rather, the story I wish to tell. When you're able to view fashion on this level, you're able to see far and wide into greater possibilities. After all, a great storyteller doesn't rely on typical characters, but seeks to find a unique voice. If you don't believe this to be true, then you're probably still of the mindset of 'matching your shoes and handbag' and other stale fashion regulations.
A woman's face is concealed behind her wide-brimmed hat. Without knowing her identity, what do her clothes say about her? She is comfortable and relaxed with who she is; slightly irreverent by her distressed boyfriend jeans; she's coquettish by the way she reveals her bare shoulders; her fashion choices are dictated by the life she leads - one of adventure, artistic development and freedom. To be continued....
More Outfit Details: Wide off the shoulder Top: H&M Conscious (Sold out in stores but still available on eBay); Braided Belt by Ralph Lauren (Many Braided Belts on eBay); Wide-Brim Fedora: Forever 21 (a few years ago. Huge selection of Fedora's on Shopstyle); Boots by Ralph Lauren via TJ Maxx; Lariat Bird Necklace purchased from a boutique near my home (similar lariat bird necklaces on eBay)
Finally she reveals her face. She offers a reassuring smile. Like the necklace she wears around her neck - she is as free as a bird. She lives a life undefined, and certainly not dictated by the fashion rules of others. Her life is one which captures the imagination of those seeking to discover their own style story. This is Glenda's Fashion Iconology {wink}

Real estate investing isn't easy, but it's worth it.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 15, 2012
Matt Theriault, full-time real estate investor, coach and host of one of the more popular real estate investing podcasts on iTunes (http://EpicRealEstateInvesting.com), has limited his coaching for the last two years to just ten students per quarter. Given his recent personal exit from the "rat race," the number of students that he has on track to do the same and his growing waiting list of students, Matt has more time and inspiration to coach more people to their own financial independence. On October 1, 2012 Matt will open up his coaching program to ten additional students per quarter.
In October 2007, Theriault took a big business risk and made a commitment to inform and educate aspiring real estate investors on the realities of creating a business out of investing in real estate. "Hype and fluff in real estate investing education is a time-tested business model in this industry that has proven very profitable for the gurus. After experiencing a reasonable amount of real estate success, I wish someone would have just told me up front that the business is worth pursuing but it will be very difficult and taxing. Had someone done so, I would've saved thousands of dollars and countless hours trying to do it the "easy" way," says Theriault. "There are easier ways to do this business, but there isn't an easy way. Simple maybe, but not easy... and those pursuing a real estate investing career should know this before they begin."
Theriault first adopted a blog to deliver his authentic message, and later a podcast. Shortly after his podcast on iTunes began to increase in popularity, he announced his Epic Pro Coaching program. Pleasantly surprised by, yet unequipped to properly serve, the demand for his coaching, Theriault recorded his lessons on video and opened up the Epic Pro Academy in March of 2012.
"I've noticed that people learn in different ways. Some like reading, others like listening, while others want to watch videos at their own pace while even others prefer more of a one-on-one education from a private coach," noted Matt, and he continued to say, "I've got them all covered, and in hindsight it appears to have been a very smart move as I've noticed that my most successful students use a combination of mediums for their education."
Now that Theriault has all of his education channels in place, he has more time to devote to his students that want one-on-one coaching. He's opening the doors on October 1, 2012 to ten more students.
With 8 of his 10 current students having successfully completed at least one real estate transaction, Theriault is both excited and inspired about being able to help even more people accomplish their real estate investing goals and achieve their financial independence that they have previously been unable to do through other means.
Theriault openly admits that the investment strategy he teaches is not a one-size fits all strategy, but for those maxed out on their funds and credit, it fits like a glove.
"I've been through many different educational programs that have provided great information, but Matt's coaching is the only one that actually breaks it down in an easy to follow step by step plan," says Nathan Serga, a current coaching client of Theriault's. "I'm confident in saying that his step by step plan is why I've been able to finally get my first deal under my belt," adds Nathan.
Aspiring real estate investors interested in learning more about Matt Theriault and his real estate investing education can visit http://EpicProfessionals.com, or call his Los Angeles office directly at (213) 587-0084.

text: During geological storage of carbon dioxide in deep saline aquifers part of the stored carbon dioxide dissolves inthe brine. This dissolution trapping is one of the key trapping mechanisms of CO2 and its understanding importantwhen making estimates of the performance of the storage. Dissolution occurs in the carbon dioxide and brineinterfaces, i.e. into brine in contact with the edges of the free phase carbon dioxide plume and into residual brineleft inside the plume after the push stage.In this modeling study the scale effect of dissolution trapping for CO2 in a deep saline aquifer and the use ofa push-pull CO2 injection-withdrawal test in quantifying field scale dissolution trapping, and in particular therelevant spatial and temporal scales of this process, is investigated. A push-pull test consists of two stages. First,a push stage during which supercritical carbon dioxide is injected into the formation; then, a pull stage duringwhich formation fluid is withdrawn. The second stage needs not be initiated immediately after the first, a waitingperiod of varying duration may be applied. Different withdrawal fluid compositions are obtained depending on theresting period between the injection and the withdrawal stages. The different waiting times between injection andwithdrawal of CO2 permits buoyancy to act for different periods and alter the carbon dioxide plume shape. Thedifferent plume shape can in turn give rise to different carbon dioxide-brine interfacial areas, where mixing anddissolution occurs.In comparing scenarios with different waiting time between injection and withdrawal this effect of mixing wasstudied. The injection-withdrawal was simulated into a sandstone target layer located at a depth of 1600 m, withproperties similar to the Heletz formation where an injection experiment is planned. Simulations of the push-pulltest were carried out with the TOUGH2/ECO2N simulator. The preliminary results indicate that a test sequencewith multiple push-pull stages in a series could be useful tool for analysis of the dissolution trapping.

This is coolbert:
There are whole bunch of M113 APC variations already developed that could be used to "round-out" the vehicle mix for my Ghurkha IBCT.
The entire concept of having an "all-tracked" unit has supposedly been contemplated and attempted, without success. Perhaps just NOT enough thought was given to the subject. Expedient means were more easily and cheaply implemented. With what degree of effectiveness I just cannot say?
Among those vehicles are:
* M58 Wolf Smoke Generator Carrier
* M113 Armored Medical Evacuation Vehicle AMEV
* M548 Cargo Carrier
* M577 Command Post Carrier
* M981 Fire Support Team Vehicle (FISTV)
* M1059 Lynx Smoke Generator Carrier
* M1068 Standard Integrated Command Post System (SICPS) Carrier
* M1108 Universal Carrier
Plus this "future concept" useful for engineers:
* M113A3+ Engineering Squad Vehicle (ESV)
"The M113A3+ ESV is the only affordable solution that meets the Combat Engineer Squad requirements to transport an eight man engineer squad and all of their equipment while providing mobility and survivability equal to the maneuver force."
How this mix of M113 APC variations can be organized into the TO&E of combat support and combat service support for the Ghurkha IBCT is not clear at this time. Some thought will have to be given to the matter.

SAP Jobs
SAP Jobs - how to find an interesting contract
Selecting a contract or job is always difficult for people who take permanent jobs, normally spending days, weeks or months deciding and discussing with family and friends before choosing but for SAP contractors the entire process takes minutes and is usually done every few months!
Most contractors will get a phone call or email asking if they would like to fly half way around the world to work for 3 or 6 months with only a single phone call to give them any information of what the project is about and they have an hour to decide to take the job - sound familiar?
On arriving in a completely strange city they have to set up home in a hotel with little or no help from anyone and then are expected to turn up for work ready and fresh for the challenge - most often there is no SAP password and sometimes not even a seat for them for the first 2 weeks!
Added to all the above there is usually one or two people on the project who make the entire situation worse! Why do they always hire these people?
So, how can you make this easier? well a couple of things can help, first always remember that your agent is earning between 10 - 20% of your income so they should be prepared to assist you in settling in and finding somewhere to live. In effect they work for you, after all your salary is paying them!
But first you have to find an SAP job that seems interesting - your choices
1 - use an/many agents and lose 10 - 20% of your income
2 - go back to the clients you have worked with in the past
3 - speak with your friends and ask where they are and if there is any need for your help at the project
4 - Take a long holiday in a warm place and forget about SAP while setting up a bar or restaurant by a beach!
These are some of the choices I have come across, failing the ability to take option 4 the choices are quite interesting and not too much fun.
With the agency option, there are some very good agents out there at the moment and most of us know one or two of these- but the problem is that each agent only has a grasp on a few clients which means you need to get your CV to many - now the trouble starts, you send the CV to "many agents" - not it is safe to swim with one piranha but once you get in to "many piranha" it starts to become a little less safe, strange questions start arriving in the email inbox, phone calls asking if you would like a contract in war zones or places so cold that you need insurance against the weather, what ever you answer, except yes, will usually be ignored and finally you get that request " well I know you work on SEM but would you be able to work on SD for a few months?" Question - exactly why do agents get 10 - 20%?
With the going back to old clients choice, there was a reason why you left - it is always wise to remember why you left in the first place before going there!
Asking your friends is a realistic option but it can be a little embaressing to phone a friend and ask them for a job, most people dont really like feeling used - even by friends.
So, my advise at this time is to get yourself to number 4 - take a break, spend some quality time, look for a warm place with the kind of lifestyle you like and open a bar or restaurant, where the palm trees wake you and the nearest you get to FI CO is adding your cash at the end of the night and your SD is working out what you need for a good evenings takings!
To all of you who have been through the war zones in SAP projects I invite you to come and share your stories with us on facebook - search for SAP projects from hell. It is a new idea and a new page so we are building at this moment but it promises to become more interesting as we get more stories on there!
Best of luck and if you have any other choices then please let me know and if you really do know why agents charge their money would love to hear from you!

9/31 So people using Net.Bank with over 100K. Did they lose $(What they had in the bank) - $100K ? \_ They are now creditors against the assets of the bank. They may or may not lose that much depending on how things shake out. However, they are only guaranteed their $100K. \_ Is FDIC guarantee per account or per "entity" \_ Per account \_ Per depositor, although accounts held by different entities may count separately. For example, if you have a single account and a revocable trust then you may be eligible for more insurance (in this case $100K per beneficiary of the trust in addition to $100K for the single account). If you have, say, four checking accounts in your own name at a bank then you are insured for only $100K total. \_ More example: if you and you wife have a single joint account, by default you and your wife are covered for $100K each. It gets complicated if you and your wife own the account at some ratio other than 50%-50%. account, you and your wife are covered for $100K each. Say there was $200K in the account. If you and your wife own it at 50%-50%, each of you gets $100K. But if you and your wife own it at 75%-25%, you get $100K while your wife gets $50K. \_ http://www.smartmoney.com/consumer/index.cfm?story=2007100

Hi All! I started a new training plan this week. I found the plan in my fitness magazine last month.
This is the first 4 weeks of the program.(sorry about the horrible picture.) It is a 8 week plan. I do not have a 10k scheduled and can not find one as of right now that fits my schedule. I do have a 5 mile run scheduled for June 2nd so I know I need to up my mileage! So I hope this plan will help with that.
Here is this week
Monday: Rest
Tuesday: Ten 1 minute pick ups with 1 minute recovery after.
Wednesday: cross train (which is an easy to moderate cardio workout of your choice for 15 minutes followed by a strength training routine) For these days I am going to do my Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred routines.
Thursday: treadmill incline pickups eight 15 sec sprints with 1 minute recovery after each
Friday: cross train
Saturday: rest or light run (25 minutes)
Sunday: Long run (35-40 minutes)
Already did Monday and Tuesday. Wow was the 10 pick ups hard, after the third one I was ready to stop but I didn't. I did all 10 and felt like death after. My body still hurts today so you know that was a good workout. I have Jillian scheduled for nap time today and dreading it!!! LOL she is gonna kick my butt. It's been awhile since I have done one of her videos.
Do not worry I did not forget that today is weigh in day. I weighed in at 187 this morning that is .5 loss. I've totally been in maintenance mode all month. I did not reach any more goals this month and wasn't able to keep up with the arm challenge every day. I did work in strength training twice a week every week in April and will continue that with the cross train days on this plan. Food wise I don't really have a plan yet. I am gonna start from the beginnning again and write down everything. Hopefully this will help me see what I am doing wrong and I can actually lose some weight this month. It is really hard for me to focus on both training and hard core dieting. I find when I am training I naturally eat better but I dont actually follow a plan. Too many plans make this girl go crazy!!!
New month and I am excited to get started and make some progress. Just keep going!!! Might not have accomplished everything I wanted to last month but its a new day and you have to JUST KEEP GOING. Yes I am giving myself a pep talk. Don't judge!!! 🙂
If you know of any 10k in June, July or August leave a response. I don't know if I am gonna be able to find one in the summer. Might have to wait till Fall. If you have any other races let me know. Love having running partners and cheering each other on!!!

It all started one April afternoon when Max was suffering from seasonal allergies. His immediate reaction was go to the nearest drug store to pick up some medicine – preferably organic. Much to his dismay, Max wasn't able to find any organic over-the-counter medicines and most of the traditional medicines seemed to cause bad side effects. After almost 30 minutes of studying the cold and allergy aisles he finally realized there just wasn't anything available that was effective, good for you – and organic. So, Max called his close friend

Parenting Transgender Children and Youth: What a Dad Needs to Know
Former deputy executive director of New York City's LGBT Community Center, therapist and transgender author, Elijah C. Nealy, has written the first-ever comprehensive guide to understanding and supporting trans kids, Transgender Children and Youth: Cultivating Pride and Joy With Families in Transition. Here, in the second of three articles for DAD.info, Elijah explains what it means to be transgender and how fathers can help support their children as they explore their identity…
Navigating a child's gender transition is uncharted territory for most families. Despite increasing trans visibility in the media, most families do not know transgender individuals within their immediate social networks. In addition, many parents and grandparents came of age when gender identity and biological sex were assumed synonymous. As a result, when children come out as transgender most parents lack the information needed to understand what this means for them and their child, as illustrated by the following vignette.
"Even as a toddler, Sam liked his older sister's dolls more than trucks or trains," he told me. "In preschool, he loved playing dress-up in princess gowns and shoes with the girls in the class. His mum and I just kind of rolled with it. We wanted him to be able to be who he was. But last week as I was reading a bedtime story, Sam asked if a "wizard could come and take his penis away." I asked, "Why?" He said, "I don't need it anymore. I'm a girl."
"What does this mean?" Sam's dad asked. "Is there something wrong with Sam? Is he transgender? How would we know for sure? Isn't he too young to know? His mum and I are worried."
The starting point for parents like Sam's dad often involves understanding the distinctions between the key concepts of sex, gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation.
Sex refers to the "sex assigned at birth." The delivery doctor's announcement, "She's a girl!" or "He's a boy!" is based on the appearance of their genitalia. In the vignette above, Sam was assigned male at birth based on the fact that he was born with a penis.
Gender Identity reflects our internal understanding of who we are as a man or a woman – or both or neither. While sex is about our anatomy, gender identity is about what's in our mind; it's who we know ourselves to be, regardless of body parts. When Sam's dad asked if Sam was transgender, he was asking about Sam's gender identity – who Sam understands himself to be. Historically, many people understood sex and gender identity as synonymous. Today, we know that while most people's gender identity aligns with the sex they were assigned at birth (called 'cisgender'), the gender identity of transgender individuals varies in some way from the sex they were assigned at birth. While Sam was assigned male at birth based on his genitalia, his assertion that he is a "girl" can indicate that his gender identity varies from his birth-assigned sex.
Distinct from gender identity or sexual orientation, Gender Expression reflects the ways we express our identities as men or women (or both, or neither) to ourselves and in the world. How we communicate our gender can include choice of clothing; preferred hairstyle; physical mannerisms, such as the way we walk or talk; whether we wear jewellery and, if so, what kind, and on which body part; our career choices and even the leisure activities we prefer. While expectations about gender expression vary across time and place, most cultures have norms for what is "acceptable" or normative gender expression for boys/men and girls/women. In Sam's case, playing dress up and liking dolls reflects what is typically considered feminine gender expression in today's white Anglo cultures.
While sexual orientation and gender identity are sometimes conflated, they are two distinct aspects of who we are as human beings. While gender identity reflects who we are, Sexual Orientation is about our physical and emotional attractions to other people. Are we typically attracted to people of the opposite sex or gender, people of the same sex or gender, or people of both/all sexes and genders?
Historically, children whose gender expression varied from what was stereotypically expected of their sex (e.g., boys who like dolls or girls who play with trucks) were labelled Gender Variant and diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder. Treatment consisted of correcting and/or punishing this behaviour in an effort to redirect these children toward more gender-conforming interests. This approach particularly targeted young boys in an effort to ensure they did not grow up to be homosexual or transsexual (the terms used at that time). The ICD-10 code (F64) for Gender Identity Disorders continues to reflect a psychiatric diagnosis that stigmatises transgender children and adults.
Thanks to more recent understandings of sex and gender identity as distinct aspects of our identities and cultural variation in gender norms, best practices among mental health professions today reject pathologising children like Sam. Today, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health understands these children's interests and behaviours as gender diverse, creative or expansive. While their creative gender expression may not be the statistical norm, all major medical and mental health associations today agree that there is nothing abnormal about gender diversity. Clinical work will explore with Sam and the family over time whether Sam's preference for "girl things" is about his gender expression or emerges as reflective of a gender identity as a girl [Transgender].
Transgender children and teens identifying with a gender identity other than the sex assigned at birth often desire to transition to live in their affirmed gender. The first step is social transition, typically changing name and pronoun to match their gender identity, and changes in clothing choices and hair cut/style. It often begins part time with family and then may progress to a child attending school in their affirmed gender identity. It's critical to understand there are no medical interventions for pre-pubertal youth – only social transitions.
If your child's trans identity persists over time, best practice today includes the use of Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) analogues at the onset of puberty. Often called "puberty blockers," these medications simply put puberty on hold. Blocking the development of secondary sex characteristics among transgender youth significantly reduces their gender dysphoria (a condition where a person experiences discomfort or distress because there's a mismatch between their biological sex and gender identity), and naturally associated risk factors. These medications can "buy more time" for dads, other parents and counsellors like me, to ensure the young person's affirmed gender identity persists.
When your child remains clear about their affirmed gender identity, later adolescence (16 years of age in many countries) typically includes masculinising or feminising hormone therapy. Top surgery can be performed in the UK on the NHS from 18 years of age (chest reconstruction for young trans men and breast augmentation for young trans women). Genital surgeries are only available after the transgender youth reaches the legal age of majority and has lived continuously in their affirmed gender for a reasonable length of time.
Each of these steps is recommended as medically necessary and appropriate treatment for transgender individuals, and typically reduces dysphoria as their body is brought more into alignment with their gender identity.
When dads comprehend the distinctions between sex, gender expression, gender identity and sexual orientation, as well as the steps involved in social and medical transitions, we can more effectively understand and support our transgender children. This information also empowers us to be their advocates within the extended family and in the outside world when necessary.
Three important ways to embrace your child's uniqueness
...the Sex we are assigned at birth, the ways we express our Gender, our Gender Identity, and who we are attracted to (Sexual Orientation) are distinct aspects of who we are.
...a safe space for your child to explore their gender expression and identity without judgment. Many of us grew up in a world that told us boys (or girls) could only be interested in certain toys or games, only express certain emotions or only wear certain clothes, but it's important to teach our children there are many ways to be a boy or a girl.
...for your child's wellbeing in the world. Don't let anyone shame them for being, or expressing, who they are. Our support and advocacy goes a long way to ensuring our children grow up with healthy self-esteem and the confidence to "take on" the world.

The Door in the Floor Reviews
Top Critic
March 13, 2018
Jeff Bridges is extraordinary as Ted Cole...this hothouse tale of grief, sex and betrayal is told with a cool detachment that renders it commendably unsentimental--and slightly remote.
July 11, 2010
Complex, candid, and satisfying "The Door In The Floor" beckons back to the socially provocative American films of the late '60s and early '70s. It is an adult drama with characters you sympathize with in spite of their immoral behavior.
Full Review | Original Score: A
October 1, 2005
Williams (...) toma decisiones extra�as que no hacen crecer la pel�cula en t�rminos dram�ticos.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5
July 29, 2005
A dire��o de Tod Williams, al�m de abrir espa�o importante para a for�a das atua��es do elenco, destaca-se por n�o ter medo do sil�ncio.
| Original Score: 5/5
July 25, 2005
[Jeff Bridges] struts around like a peacock trapped in a burning house...
March 3, 2005
an alternately amusing and tragic portrait of post-traumatic eccentricity, focusing on two parents who are unable to get over the loss of their two sons after a car accident.
January 21, 2005
Jeff Bridges is perfect as the dissipated, amoral, wise, foolish writer.
Full Review | Original Score: B
November 18, 2004
Another entry in the fallout-from-grief genre, but it subscribes too readily to the theory that tragedy automatically equals importance.
Full Review | Original Score: 6/10
November 14, 2004
Despite some powerful scenes and Jeff Bridges' performance, as a whole, Door in the Floor is a flawed movie that lacks much shape or rhythm.

rich with rarely seen moral gray areas. The characters may not be likeable, but at least they have actual human depth.

September 30, 2004
The material is slim and becomes slimmer still by our advance grasp of it; what's meant to be novelistic in detail instead comes to seem belabored. Not a bad film. A misfire.

One of the best Irving adaptations, a movie with a sad soul and something to say about that state in us all.

It takes nerve to use dead children as apologists for adult misbehavior, but nerve is something novelist John Irving has never lacked.

[O]ne of the most subtly suspenseful movies of the year...
September 3, 2004
The most interesting character in the book remains 4-years-old [in the film], never growing up into the anguished heart of the novel.
August 31, 2004
"The film, while telling a story dealing with tragedy and its after affects, essentially boils down to a study in humiliation"
Full Review | Original Score: 3
August 30, 2004
...a film both fluid and hermetically sealed, inviting multiple interpretations and yet ultimately reluctant to give up its secrets.
