The system can support an unlimited number of thickness control points. Each control point is one sensor mounted according to Scheme #1 (Figure 1, left) or two sensors mounted according to Scheme #2 (Figure 1, right).
According to Scheme #1 (one sensor for one point), the material thickness is a difference between the distance from the base surface on which the material is located, and the distance to the upper surface of the material measured by a sensor. The sensor position is calibrated relative to the base surface.
According to Scheme #2 (two sensors for one point), the material thickness is a difference of distances to the material surfaces measured by each of the sensors. The position of sensors is calibrated relative to each other.

text: AcesNEights 61 Posted February 16, 2014 Hi guys So I'm just waiting for order to come from Royal Distributing. I ordered Black ISO grips and a Contoured Throttle Boss My question is this .... What is the BEST WAY to prevent the grip glue from "plowing" into either end of my throttle tube. I was thinking of maybe putting some vasoline or similar product between the tube and the throttle housing (I would just die if I fused the tube and then had to try getting off my new $100 grips in one piece) The other issue I can foresee is at the bar end, again glue "could" get pushed between the tube and the bar. Here are a couple of pics of my throttle. Also I would prefer not to remove the tube etc. so that I could mount the grip to the tube away from the bike etc. Any help and or suggestions would be much appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Girls Aloud

Where Have They Been? Pop Stars Missing In Action
8. Girls Aloud
Where Have They Been?: It's been four years since the release of Girls Aloud's last album 'Out Of Control', and since announcing their hiatus the girls have been keeping busy with various solo projects. Cheryl Cole has gone on to release three solo albums, the latest of which was 'A Million Lights' earlier this summer. When Will They Be Back?: All five members of the band have confirmed plans to mark their tenth anniversary at the end of 2012 with some sort of celebration, with rumours ranging from a one-off performance to a full arena tour and potential new music, although no details have been announced as yet.


text:
The alternative rock band Yo La Tengo was founded 30 years ago by Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley, and for the past 24 of those years, the married couple has been joined by bassist James McNew. This week, the trio releases its latest album, "Stuff Like That There," mostly a collection of songs by other artists that particularly resonate with the band.
When Kaplan and McNew joined us on The Frame, they shared stories behind some of the songs on "Stuff Like That There." We also asked them — given the rapidly changing nature of the music industry — about their take on all things digital, etc.
Interview Highlights:
James, I want to ask you about some of the bands you cover on the new album: Great Plains, Antietam, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Cure, The Parliaments, Sun-Ra...that's like a musical dartboard. It would seem totally random to most people, but I suspect there's an organizing principle to that selection. What would you say that is?
McNew: I think it's mostly things we love and songs that are important to us personally. Sometimes you just hear a song and it's like, Wow, how does that go? Let's figure out how to play that, just for pleasure. [laughs]
Ira, what does the song "Friday I'm In Love" mean to you? Why did you choose it for the album?
Kaplan: I love the way Georgia sings it. We learned it and played it years ago, once, and then a few years later we played it again, but literally by accident. We were at a radio station in London and we were asked to take some listener requests and somebody wanted to hear that song, not knowing we'd ever played it. So we quickly had to remind ourselves how it went, and that version in particular just seemed so off-handedly lovely to me, just hearing the way she sings, that it never left my brain.
James, we've got a song for you: Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry." Your cover features a very spare, simple arrangement. What does that song mean to you, lyrically and musically?
McNew: It immediately conjures up memories of the three concerts when we opened for Johnny Cash in 1994. It was completely otherworldly to be welcomed into the Cash family and be treated with such hospitality and warmth, and yet their audience was not that psyched with what we were doing. It was still completely unforgettable.
I believe we were covering a song by The Byrds in Atlanta, and I looked over across the stage to Ira, but Ira wasn't standing where I thought he would be. Instead, I looked directly into the wings and saw Johnny Cash standing there, watching us play, and I think my whole system shut down. I may have stopped playing for 10 or 15 seconds because I just didn't know what to do, and when you're faced eye-to-eye with The Man In Black, I think it's best just to back away.
What's the creative experience that you get the most pleasure out of today, having been together for so long? Ira?
Kaplan: Well, a big part of it is not knowing the answer to that, and just keeping your eyes and ears open to see what happens on a given day. Almost a year ago, we found ourselves on a stage in England, backing Yoko Ono. It was unbelievable — there we were, the Plastic Ono Band.
We're in the midst of a tremendous amount of upheaval in the music business. What do you wish your fans would do when it comes to consuming music, that would most benefit the bands themselves?
Kaplan: I don't really like to prescribe behavior for other people. It's very exciting when we do stuff and encounter people who care about it a great deal, and we do have that experience all the time. That means a lot, and if people express it by writing us an email, by talking to us when they see us in public, by clapping at a show, by not talking at a show...
But you included the word "business" in your question, and I know that we are in the music business. A big part of our ability to stay in it is to do as much forgetting that we're in the music business as we possibly can. I think we're pretty good at not focusing on that stuff.

2014 Porsche Cayman S | Model Review | Model Specs
Recently, I got the chance to test out a 2014 Porsche Cayman S, courtesy of Park Place Porsche in Dallas. I regularly keep an eye on their inventory and have been itching to get into the driver's seat of one of these as they are becoming extremely palatable at the price point. This particular model was spec'd out pretty reasonably and when my pal Wade called to see if I was interested I jumped at the opportunity.
One of the greatest things about being at a Porsche dealership is that you are at a Porsche dealership. There is this sort of excitement in the air. Everyone is just excited that you are excited to be part of the heritage. If you haven't been to one make the pilgrimage.
I've got the luxury of living fairly close to the best one in the country and they've always treated me well, whether buying or just enjoying the scenery. Anyway on to the meat and potatoes and the question everyone wants to know, is the 2014 Cayman S worth the money?
The answer is "yes, obviously", but there is a caveat. That caveat is the prerequisite that you are in the market for a 2-door RWD coupe. And in that respect, there are few options coming close to this car for the price.
As far as car reviews go you can view my opinion on the current state of reviews in my post: The Problem With Car Reviews. This is simply my opinion based on driving the car and it is completely unfiltered. Proceed accordingly.
2014 Porsche Cayman S Specs:
- Engine: 3.4-Liter Flat-Six Cylinder
- Drivetrain: Mid-Engine Rear Wheel Drive
- Transmission: Manual or "PDK" Dual-clutch 7-Speed
- Horsepower: 325 hp @ 7,400 RPM
- Torque: 272 lb-ft
- 0-60 mph: ~4.2 seconds
- MPG: 20 City/30 Hwy
- Fair Market Value: $42,000 – $46,000
- Average Rating: 10/10
2014 Porsche Cayman S Background
The Porsche Cayman was introduced late in 2005 and was new for the 2006 model year. It was a hardtop coupe version of the popular entry-level Porsche the Boxtser.
During that time the Boxster wasn't what it is today. It was the ugly stepchild of the Porsche line-up and realistically was viewed as a Porsche for people who couldn't afford a 911.
Just being real here. You can find examples of 2005 Porsche Boxsters for less than $15,000 today.
That's not to say the Boxster wasn't a good car back then, because it was, it's just changed dramatically. Some might say it grew up. It filled out. And that's the case with the 2014 Cayman as well honestly. Early examples of this car look bland and boring. They drive great but they don't look nearly as flashy and beautiful as they do today.
That's because in 2014 the Cayman received a facelift which launched it into a different playing field. With the facelift came a few low-key but very awesome upgrades. First, the Cayman moved onto the new 911 chassis which is the car equivalent of a Prime Filet Minion.
Secondly, in the "S" trims the Cayman got a de-tuned version of the 3.4-liter flat-six used in the 911.
Thirdly, it filled out. It got curvy. In all the right places.
The mid-engine platform is so good for sports cars but we will touch on that a little later.
2014 Porsche Cayman S Interior and Cabin
2014 Porsche Cayman Interior highlights:
- Simple and beautiful gauge cluster
- Perfect steering wheel
- Ultra high-quality materials throughout the cabin
- Center console and entertainment center right at drivers fingertips
- Easy to use infotainment center
- Amazing field of view from the driver's seat.
- Just the right amount of space for a two-seat sports car
You open up the door and slide down into the car. It feels snug in a good way. It sort of wraps around you. You get the impression you are in a sports car.
But don't worry there's luxury too. There's something about a Porsche interior that makes you feel like you are driving a sports car but still feels extremely luxurious.
You grab the wheel and you know exactly where your hands are supposed to go, right at 3 and 9. there's no question. You put the key in (on the left of the steering wheel) and then start it. No push-button bullshit here, just a key you put in an ignition and turn. It really sets the mood.
The motor is right behind you and it is great. It's not loud like a Lambo, it's just right. Like the sound of a fan blowing when you are falling asleep and need the white noise. You just don't even remember what life was like before you had that noise in it.
The Cayman boasts the same three gauge cluster that is in the Boxster and it's so perfect. The center is a tachometer and is a full circle, with the speed and gear in the center towards the bottom in digital numbers.
The left has the speed in mph/kph. The right has a digital screen that shows time and all the other fun stuff, even the navigation will show up in it so you don't have to look at the center screen.
Driving the 2014 Porsche Cayman S
Here's why I love it:
- Tight, heavy and direct steering
- Agility like a Gazelle
- The engine sounds incredible
- The breaking feels unreal
- Shifting is fun in both manual and automatic versions
- 7,500 RPM redline
- Quick off the line
- Enough corner grip to make your eyes bleed
- Mid-Engine and rear-wheel-drive
This particular model was a manual and I think there are pros and cons to that. I know you always hear a lot of people talk about how they "could never have a sports car without a manual" and okay I see some merit to that.
I'm an avid fan of manual transmission sports cars, but let's talk about the PDK.
The PDK is Porsche's dual-clutch automatic transmission and the name PDK stands for "Porsche Doppelkupplung". You don't care what it means and neither do I.
The only thing that matters is how insanely good this set up is. I had the chance to put a Boxster S through an autocross course at Barber Motorsport Park in Alabama and the automatic transmission knew what to do before my brain could even assess what was going on.
It's lightning fast. I mean that. It's so fast and smooth you don't even realize it's doing work. It's a magic act that you need to experience. It feels like driving a supercar.
Toss it into manual mode (or sport plus) and wrap it out all the way to 7,500 RPM. That's 5.0 V8 territory. Upshift and listen to the induction suck down a mouthful of oxygen before it lets out this little exhaust burp.
It's a cool experience.
Even in city driving while being tame the car makes these noises that are just so dope. It makes you feel like you're driving sporty when you're just commuting.
The manual version is amazing too, don't get me wrong. But it's involved. Porsche clutches are ultra forgiving. It engages at the top of the pedal play and is very firm.
It feels like quality every time you push that left foot down. The indicator in the center gauge proudly displays that you are in third gear going 80 mph, but the tachometer only shows 5,000 rpm. You still have plenty of room to redline.
And that's the beauty of the Cayman S. It has mojo man. It feels like a proper sports car, it sounds like a proper sports car, and it looks like a proper sports car. And that's because, well, it is one. Dropping the car into third gear we rail an on-ramp with a nice curve and the Cayman S just hugs it yawning, but you feel like you're at Imola going into turn one.
The car is stable and feels drawn to the road surface. Steering is heavy and tight like it's mechanical. Hit the pedal from a stop and it feels powerful (it sounds powerful too). With a 0-60 mph pull of 4.2 seconds, it's no slouch.
But that's not to say this car is for everyone. I could go on for days about how great this car is, but let's talk about who it's not great for.
2014 Porsche Cayman S Final Thoughts
First, if you need a backseat slice this from your list. Unlike some coupes that offer a cramped back seat like the TT or any of the American muscle car coupes, Porsche doesn't waste its time with stuff like that.
Secondly, if you are looking for a stoplight drag car, this isn't the one for you either. The car is quick, but there are quicker cars from a stop than this one for much cheaper. Porsche builds cars for the track so bear that in mind.
Finally, this is not a flashy ride that will get you crazy looks. In fact, it's somewhat muted. Most Porsches are, save for the ultra track ready models like the GT2, GT3, and GT4. So if you are looking to hit the streets and get tons of looks you might be better suited in an M3 or C63.
All that being said this one amazing coupe. It does everything well. It is a thoroughbred sports car that you can drive into the office every day and rip apart the track on the weekends. The 2014 Cayman S is the answer to those who are seeking excitement in an everyday car on bland and boring roads but still want enough luxury to impress their wife on a date night.
And that's the beauty of the Cayman S. It sort of ticks all these boxes without sacrificing its core value and it proves that amazing cars are out there for reasonable prices.
A good used example of one of these cars will set you back in the mid-40's which is cheaper than most other luxury coupes like the BMW M4 and Mercedes C63. So if you are in the market for a two-seater coupe that will inject some passion back into your driving this is a great option to start with.
Why You Should Buy a Cayman S:
- Perfect for daily driving and track days
- Superior handling in wet or dry conditions
- High safety ratings
- Not subject to steep depreciation
- Low maintenance requirements
- Relatively reliable when compared to peers
- Fantastic CPO warranty coverage ( 2 years and unlimited miles)
- Clean and sporty looks

The Garden Lovers, a federated group based in Middletown, are usually growing gardens, designing floral arrangements and hosting garden tours. You don't usually think of a garden club building a monument. But that's what this group was focused on, and they did it very well.
They spent several months planning every detail to build a Blue Star Memorial By-Way Marker in Thrall Park, a project of the National Federation of Garden Clubs created after World War II. It's a monument that's close to other monuments in Thrall Park and to several evergreen trees that were planted in memory of faithful garden club members. The newest memorial is permanently placed in the ground with a bronze plaque. It symbolizes appreciation for the U.S. Armed Forces - past, present and future. It includes all men and women who are serving in the military, those who made the ultimate sacrifice, our veterans who have served, and for those who will serve. Currently it is adorned with wreaths, American flags and plantings.
Appropriately, a program was also featured. Among those who participated were the Middletown High School Naval Junior ROTC, who provided a color guard. Master Sgt. MaryKay Messenger of the West Point Band sang the National Anthem and Irving Berlin's "God Bless America." Mayor Joe DeStefano welcomed the club and the monument. And Pastor Bill Kennon of Grace Community Church offered God's blessing and prayer.
** Five years ago, Greg and Mark Jaloszynski, both graduates of Pine Bush High School and longtime residents of the area , recognized the need for a youth-focused, community-backed sports complex. They formed 12Rock Sports, a 501c(3) nonprofit organization. They have been working on it for nearly two years. Phase One is to buy the land. They found the property, negotiated the price, and the closing date is June 16. For this closing to happen and to get closer to the program they've got some serious funds to raise. Their parents, Barbara and the Rev. Leo Jaloszynski (Pastor Ski for short), formerly with the Circleville Church, are now deeply involved in GrandCamp directors, a unique grandparent program. Phase Two is the building of an indoor track, turf, and court sports complex. And that means fundraising. In the past four weeks $75,000 has been received That leaves under $175,000 to go. The family and their friends believe it can be done. For information, visit email@example.com or call 775-1831 or 692-9092.
This and that
** An appreciative crowd of 150 people attended a retirement social to honor Joyce Waschitz, who served almost 20 years as executive director of the Jewish Federation of Greater Orange County. The nonprofit, in existence for 40 years, was also celebrated. To honor the many good deeds that Joyce championed for the Federation, her family and friends created the Waschitz Family Endowment. It's a permanent fund that will bequeath money to the Federation in order to continue important work started. Donations for the fund will be accepted throughout the year. For information, call Suzanne Leon, executive director, at 562-7860.
** The Hudson Gateway Realtor Foundation, with the Women's Council of Realtors, will present the Runway for Hope Fashion Show on May 31. It will be from 5:30-10 p.m. at Glen Island Harbour Club in New Rochelle. Tickets are $150 and available at HGAR.com. It will benefit the Hudson Gateway Realtors Foundation, which donates thousands of dollars to charities annually.

Vinyl Street Wrap on Steps
Southampton, Hampshire
In mid-summer when the sun was shining bright and PRIDE festival was in town, WestQuay asked us to add this amazing splash of colour to the amphitheatre steps.
Using street wrap vinyl its extremely easy to add a creative splash to any surface. The product looks super cool as it looks painted on. But being a super conformable vinyl it's non-permanent, easy to remove and highly cost effective.
The amount of interest it created when we were laying the vinyl was amazing… suddenly everyone sat on the steps taking photos… it was an instagram heaven! Certainly one WestQuay was proud of…

Section lines don't easily stick to the centres of holes or bores. That's pity.
Maybe I'm missing a trick? but I was dropping a point on a hidden layer in the centre of the relevant hole/bore and making my line coincident with that.
Since we got the easier to create sections in 2014 (?) it seems the section line snaps to the centre of circular features, and of course my method above becomes more onerous...
BUT even though it seemed to snap to the circle centre the section position is not constrained!
In your section view when you apply a diameter it automatically inserts the <mod-diam><dim> in the dimension.
But Beware, if you move circular feature the section doesn't follow, and its a disaster what happens to that diameter dim if you don't realise!!
Although it keeps the diameter symbol, it becomes a linear dimension to the sectioned edge, but retains the diameter symbol.
See below, when the section is off, the hole diameter dimension changes.
Surely I am missing some trick to constrain the section to the circular centre to avoid this issue?
50 odd parts to re-drill today anyway :(

Very few cars on the road offer the pure ripping power of a Roush supercharged Mustang, and this gorgeous Stage 3 doesn't disappoint! This car offers a host of high performance improvements, very low miles, and excellent condition. On top of the "base" Stage 3 package, which is already very inclusive, the owner added several more tasty options from Roush, such as the 625hp Phase 2 engine, leather and suede interior with contrast stitching, billet racing pedals, white 6-speed shifter ball, illuminated door sills, orange exterior graphics, and more!
An additional 50hp is only a quick upgrade to Phase 3. Everything on the car has been completely inspected and cared for, and will receive another inspection prior to delivery.
The paint code is Ford Oxford White YZ, and overall the exterior is in very good condition, with Roush R6 aerodynamic pieces and RS3 badging present. Inside, the interior is black leather with black suede and orange contrast stitching, including front and rear seats, door panels, and shifter boot.
Underneath is the Roush Performance Tuned Suspension, which includes custom-valved shocks, rate-matched coil springs, a larger front stabilizer bar, and an upgraded rear upper control arm to prevent wheel hop.
Optional 20" chrome 5-spoke wheels are mounted on Cooper Zeon RS3-S tires in 275/35/20 front and rear, with 80% tread. Service records, Roush manual and clean title are included. Bring this breathtaking thoroughbred home today!

GRADUATE - RICHMONDHotel Lobby Renovation
After beginning life as a DoubleTree by Hilton, this hotel was purchased in 2015 and converted into a hip and stylish boutique hotel. Renovations to a fully-functioning operation required us to be sensitive to the needs of current hotel guests. We took great pains to be discrete with the transfer of materials and our use of equipment. For example, when adding new infrastructure to a post tension concrete building erected over a parking lot, you want to be precise with placement. We x-rayed all concrete so that we could drill and place only once. The finished project features creative surfaces and custom lighting. The lighting fixtures are truly unique, and that perfectly reflects the eclectic style typical of each Graduate property.

The following Owner-Managed Businesses guidance note by Tolley provides comprehensive and up to date tax information covering:
For restrictions relating to losses incurred by sole traders using the simplified cash basis, see the Eligibility for the simplified cash basis guidance note.
When a sole trader makes a loss, the trading income assessment (ie the taxable profit for the year) is nil. Losses are computed in the same way as profits. Loss relief is only available if the business is being run on a commercial basis with a view to realising a profit.
The trader may choose how the loss should be relieved by making appropriate loss relief claims.
For continuing trades, losses may be relieved against the following:
Losses in the opening or closing years of a business are dealt with in the Basis of assessment ― opening years and Basis of assessment ― closing years guidance notes.
As there are several options for relieving losses, careful planning is required to achieve the optimum position. A balance may be needed between relieving losses early and relieving losses at the highest possible tax rates. For a summary of loss relief options, see the Summary ― self-employed trading losses.
See also the Checklist ― sole traders loss relief.
Before considering the potential claims for loss relief, the first step is to establish that the loss is allowable. For a loss to obtain relief under the provisions discussed below, it must arise from a trade. Given that the loss has occurred within a continuing business, this should have been considered already, however, more detail on what constitutes a trade can be found in the Badges of

Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, has fired lecturers and other members of staff at the Osun State Colleges of Education in Ilesa and Ila Orangun.
The termination letters for the affected staff, were taken to the two institutions from the Ministry of Education, Osogbo on Friday.
However, the workers blatantly refused to collect the letters.
The appointment of 37 lecturers, 34 non-teaching staff were terminated in Ila Orangun while 34 workers, including lecturers, were fired at Ilesa.
The Chairman of the College of Education Academic Staff Union, Ila Orangun branch, Segun Onifade, said no fewer than 71 members of staff, including lecturers were affected in the mass sack.
Onifade disclosed that the union instructed the affected lecturers not to collect the termination letters.
Meanwhile, the Chairman and Secretary of Council of Academic Staff Unions of Osun State Owned Tertiary Institutions, Jimoh Lasisi and Olusegun Lana, released a statement regarding the state government's action.
"Letters of termination of appointment were issued to several members of staff in Osun State owned Tertiary Institutions on Friday.
"This is coming just a few hours after the Academic Staff Unions notified the government of its readiness to take 'any necessary action of last resort' after the failure of government to address festering issues despite the unions' several pleas and ultimatum."
"The union has directed members not to collect any letter while congress holds soon to decide the next line of action," the statement said.

Source: BMJ Quality & Safety [Epub ahead of print]
Date of publication: April 2015
Publication type: Journal article
In a nutshell: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the safety information provided by patients is different from that provided by staff and whether it is related to safety outcomes. Data were collected from 33 hospital wards across 3 acute hospital Trusts in the UK. Staff were asked to complete the four outcome measures of the Hospital Survey of Patient Safety Culture, while patients were asked to complete the Patient Measure of Safety and the friends and family test. The friends and family test was associated with patients' perceptions of safety, but was not associated with safety outcomes. Staff responses to the patient safety culture survey were not significantly correlated with patient responses to the patient measure of safety, but both independently predicted safety outcomes. The findings suggest that although the views of patients and staff predict some overlapping variance in patient safety outcomes, both also offer a unique perspective on patient safety, contributing independently to the prediction of safety outcomes.

Lakewood, Colorado Speed Traps
On Wadsworth Avenue between 32nd Ave & 38th Ave
Wheat Ridge, CO has been running a speed trap on Wadsworth Blvd both North and South bound. Even at night with no lights on, in the dark, which I thought is illegal!!!! BEWARE!!!!
Harlan and 1st Ave
Patrol cars will hide in the side street approaching Harlan from the East. They will have motorcycle cops coming in the other direction. 1st avenue approaching Harlan is preceded by an uphill climb. You will accelerate to go up hill and when you reach the top of the hill and the road flattens, the motorcycle cops are there to stop you as you begin to deccelerate. The 1st avenue speed limit is 30 MPH. This is definitely a corrupt practice as the patrol car cannot be seen as the car is accelerating to climb the hill but htey are there as the motorcycle cops do not have radar guns. The practice is unethical.
between wadsworth and sheridan on east 6th avenue
two motorcycle units with lidar radar guns shooting traffic
Jewell Ave. westbound before you get to Utah.
The police sit on the street far enough back that no one can see them till it's too late. Speed limit is 40 going to the hill and it's easy to speed. Be very careful.
Pierce Street and Colorado Avenue
Police sit on east side of Pierce facing northbound traffic. Vehicles going southbound from Florida Avenue are monitored. The police sit there when you are in a hurry to get home from work- usually around 4:30-5:30 PM.

A review of literature is a critical analysis of a portion of the published body of knowledge available through the use of summary, classification, and comparison of previous research studies, reviews of literature, and journal articles (Subject Guides, n.d.). This handout discusses the reasons for writing a literature review and presents its various requirements. It examines what a literature review is, as well as what it is not; it distinguishes between the literature review and the annotated bibliography. Like many academic writing assignments, there is not one universal standard for writing a literature review. Its format can differ from discipline to discipline and from assignment to assignment. There is, however, an overall structure that is commonly used across various disciplines, and this format is examined in more detail. The handout concludes with some helpful "tips and tricks" for preparing a literature review.
Disclaimer: The content of a literature review may vary from discipline to discipline and from assignment to assignment. The literature review content recommended in this handout is that which is most commonly included. If in doubt about what you should include in your literature review, please consult your professor.

Literature Review Handout
What is a literature review? A literature review examines the current scholarly work available on a particular subject, perhaps within a given time period ("Writing Center Handouts," n.d.). It is not merely a summation of the existing work; its purpose is to analyze critically the applicable "published body of knowledge" ("The Writer's Handbook," n.d.) in order to establish the current knowledge of that topic ("Subject Guides," n.d.). The literature review is more than a survey of various sources, but it is not a book review ("Subject Guides," n.d.). It is the summary and synthesis of material gathered from various sources and organized to address an issue, research objective, or problem statement ("Writing Center Handouts," n.d.). A well-written literature review may even state what research has yet to be done ("Writing Center Handouts," n.d.). A literature review, then, must do these things: ? ? ? ? be organized around and related directly to the thesis or research question being developed synthesize results into a summary of what is and is not known identify areas of controversy in the literature formulate questions that need further research (Taylor and Procter, n.d.).
Why do a literature review? A literature review gives an overview of a specific field of inquiry ("Writing a Literature Review, n.d.). It asks questions concerning the prevailing theories and hypotheses, the key researchers, the current state of the research, and the methods and methodologies being used ("Writing a Literature Review, n.d.). The literature review helps the potential researcher identify the research question, focus the topic of inquiry, understand the makeup of a particular research question, understand an idea's genetic roots, and understand the "current conceptual landscape" ("Literature Review," n.d.). In other words, the literature review shows the potential researcher how prevailing ideas fit into his/her own thesis and how his/her thesis agrees or differs from them ("Writing a Literature Review, n.d.). It also points out major methodological flaws or gaps in research, inconsistencies in theory and findings, and areas or issues pertinent to future study ("The Writer's Handbook," n.d.). What are the differences? How does a literature review differ from other writing assignments? A literature review is not a research paper, although, like other forms of expository writing, it does use well-formed paragraphs and a logical structure. However, where a research paper uses relevant literature to support the discussion of the thesis; "in a literature review, the literature itself is the subject of discussion" ("Writing a Literature Review, n.d.). The literature review may be a self-contained unit, that is an end in itself, or
it may be preface to engaging in primary research ("The Writer's Handbook," n.d.). The literature review itself does not present any new primary scholarship ("Write a Literature Review," n.d.). How does a literature review differ from an annotated bibliography? A literature review is also not an annotated bibliography, although it may be produced from an annotated bibliography ("Literature Review," n.d.). An annotated bibliography is a listing of references, which includes a single paragraph descriptive analysis of each work listed ("Literature Review," n.d.). On the other hand, a literature review is an essay in itself, which summarizes and evaluates already published arguments about a certain topic ("Difference Between Annotated Bibliography and Literature Review," n.d.). A literature review is a piece of "discursive prose, not a list describing or summarizing one piece of literature after another"—that is an annotated bibliography (Taylor and Procter, n.d.). A literature review is also not to be confused with a book review, as the literature review offers an overview of significant literature published on a topic ("Write a Literature Review," n.d.). Nor is a literature review a literary review, which is a "brief, critical discussion about the merits and weaknesses of a literary work, such as a play, novel, or book of poems" ("Researching and Writing Literature Reviews," n.d.).
Writing a Literature Review
Writing a literature review requires four stages: problem formulation, literature search, data evaluation, and analysis and interpretation ("Researching and Writing Literature Reviews," n.d.).
Problem Formulation
The purpose of problem formulation is to define which topic or field is being examined and to identify its component issues ("Write a Literature Review," n.d.). This stage is similar to the development of a thesis statement for a research paper. The researcher must identify the specific thesis, problem, or research question that the subsequent review of literature will help to define. According to Spiller (n.d.), one should choose a current, well-studied, specific topic.
Literature Search
The literature search finds materials relevant to the subject being explored ("Write a Literature Review," n.d.). This step may sound easier than it actually is. The Columbia University Writing Center suggests the following strategy: 1. Identify and find the "big names" and best publications in the research area. 2. Conduct an online literature search. 3. Look in bibliographies of the most recent books and journal articles. 4. Avoid the popular press, such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Wikipedia ("Writing Center Handouts," n.d.). As always, make sure to write down the full bibliographic details of each book or article as soon as you find a reference to it. Many abstracting journals and electronic databases are available through the University Library. The minimum number of references needed depends upon what the review is for and what stage you are in in your studies. As a general rule, an undergraduate review should use between five and twenty titles, depending on the level. A master's thesis should use over forty, and a doctoral dissertation should use over fifty ("Writing a Literature Review, n.d.).
Data Evaluation
Data evaluation involves determining which literature makes a significant contribution to the understanding of the topic ("Write a Literature Review," n.d.). According to the American University Library, ask the following questions about the material you are including: 1. "Has the author formulated a problem/issue? 2. Is it clearly defined? Is its significance (scope, severity, relevance) clearly established? 3. Could the problem have been approached more effectively from another perspective? 4. What is the author's research orientation (e.g., interpretive, critical science, combination)? 5. What is the author's theoretical framework (e.g., psychological, developmental, feminist)? 6. What is the relationship between the theoretical and research perspectives? 7. Has the author evaluated the literature relevant to the problem/issue? Does the author include literature taking positions she or he does not agree with? 8. In a research study, how good are the basic components of the study design (e.g., population, intervention, outcome)? How accurate and valid are the measurements? Is the analysis of the data accurate and relevant to the research question? Are the
conclusions validly based upon the data and analysis? 9. In material written for popular readership, does the author use appeals to emotion, one-sided examples, or rhetorically-charged language and tone? Is there an objective basis to the reasoning, or is the author merely 'proving' what he or she already believes? 10.How does the author structure the argument? Can you 'deconstruct' the flow of the argument to see whether or where it breaks down logically (i.e., in establishing cause-effect relationships)?
11.In what ways does this book or article contribute to our understanding of the problem under study, and in what ways is it useful for practice? What are the strengths and limitations? 12.How does this book or article relate to the specific thesis or question I am developing?" ("Literature Review Tutorial" (n.d.)). Spiller (n.d.) suggests the following strategy: read the easier articles first; scan the article for key points; then read for depth; and finally, allow enough time.
Analysis and Interpretation
This stage involves discussing the findings and conclusions of pertinent literature ("Write a Literature Review," n.d.). Apply the principles of analysis to identify unbiased and valid studies; specifically, compare and contrast information or arguments between sources ("Annotated Bibliography & Literature Review," n.d.). All pertinent facts need to be organized in a systematic way. Columbia University's Writing Center suggests the following steps to critically assessing the material: "List three questions you want answered by the material. 1. Summarize the major points the author makes. 2. How does the author support his/her position (specific facts, details, etc.)? 3. Were the three questions raised concerning the article answered? List answers. If not, what questions did the author subsequently raise and answer? 4. Evaluate the article, with consideration for the following: 5. What are its strengths and/or weaknesses? 6. Is the subject covered adequately? 7. Is the author's position adequately supported? 8. Is it biased, balanced, etc.? 9. Do you agree with the author's position and why?" ("Writing Center Handouts," n.d.). "In assessing each piece, consideration
should be given to: ? Provenance—What are the author's credentials? Are the author's arguments supported by evidence (e.g., primary historical material, case studies, narratives, statistics, recent scientific findings)?
Objectivity—Is the author's perspective even-handed or prejudicial? Is contrary data considered or is certain pertinent information ignored to prove the author's point? Persuasiveness—Which of the author's theses are most/least convincing? Value—Are the author's arguments and conclusions convincing? Does the work ultimately contribute in any significant way to an understanding of the subject?" ("Write a Literature Review," n.d.).
Structuring the Literature Review
While there is no general standard for structuring a literature review, most formats contain common elements organized in a particular manner; this handout offers that structure. Remember that this is not a "boilerplate" format that can be used in every situation, but rather one that has widespread use among the various disciplines. Be sure to contact your professor concerning any differences between the format shown here and that of your individual assignment.
The purpose of the introduction is to define or identify the general topic, issue, or area of concern, thus providing an appropriate context for reviewing the literature ("The Writer's Handbook," n.d.). The introduction must present the specific research hypothesis, purpose of the research, or questions about the topic under consideration. The thesis statement or statement of significance must be specific to the topic under consideration. The use of first person is permitted ("Subject Guides, n.d.). The introduction should also point out overall trends in what has been published
about the topic; or conflicts in theory, methodology, evidence, and conclusions; or gaps in research and scholarship, or a single problem or new perspective of immediate interest. Finally, it should establish the writer's reason (point of view) for reviewing the literature; explain the criteria to be used in analyzing and comparing literature and the organization of the review (sequence); and, when necessary, state why certain literature is or is not included (scope) ("The Writer's Handbook," n.d.).
The purpose of the body is to group research studies and other types of literature (reviews, theoretical articles, case studies, etc.) according to common denominators such as qualitative versus quantitative approaches, conclusions of authors, specific purpose or objective, chronology, etc. ("The Writer's Handbook," n.d.). The body of the review should be presented in essay form and should not be a list of the resources used in researching the topic ("Subject Guides, n.d.). The following is one example of how various sources should be summarized and synthesized in a narrative form:
This is one point of my paper. Here is sour ce A and how it relates to this point. Source A additionally states this, this, and this. Source A contributes this to the field. However, Source A does not cover that, that, and that. Source B refutes A's conclusion. Source B's conclusion points to th is, that, and the other thing. Source B also points this out and supports my point. Source C corroborates with B in the following ways. Additionally, Source C says this and that. However, Source D disagrees with Source C, attributing another cause. In fact, Source D supports Source A's conclusion by stating that this causes that and not the other way around. But Source D… ("Annotated Bibliographies," n.d.) The body of the review should report the findings of the previous research on a topic, not just the methodologies and measurements used in the research. It should point out trends and themes, as well as gaps in the literature, that is, it should synthesize results into a summary of what is and is not known and formulate questions that need further research (Taylor and Procter, n.d.). Direct quotations should be
used sparingly. Details of the literature being cited should be reported sparingly, as well ("Subject Guides," n.d.). It should provide the reader with strong "umbrella" statements at beginnings of paragraphs, "signposts" throughout, and brief "so what" summary sentences at intermediate points in the review to aid in understanding comparisons and analyses ("The Writer's Handbook," n.d.). In other words, it should address how the material contributes to the understanding of the problem under study, how it is useful for practice, and how it relates to the specific thesis or question being developed (Taylor and Procter, n.d.).
The conclusion should summarize major pieces of significant studies and articles to the body of knowledge under review, maintaining the focus established in the introduction. It should also evaluate the current "state of the art" for the body of knowledge reviewed, pointing out major methodological flaws or gaps in the research, inconsistencies in theory and findings, and areas or issues pertinent to future study. Finally, it should conclude by providing some insight into the relationship between the central topic of the literature review and a larger area of study such as a discipline, a scientific endeavor, or a profession ("The Writer's Handbook," n.d.).
Final Thoughts
Spiller (n.d.) provides the following tips for writing the literature review: Make yourself comfortable. Don't start writing too early. Leave time for breaks. Use specific language and support your arguments with concrete examples. Paraphrase, don't quote. Evaluate what you report. Avoid plagiarism.
If done well, your literature review should show other researchers that you have done your homework and are qualified to contribute to the field. Further information on writing a literature review may be found in the resources listed in the Reference List.

I spent a very pleasant morning on Friday at Tate Modern, courtesy of e-learning provider IMC. After the normal registration coffee we had a fifty-minute tour of the Tate (or a small part of it, at least) followed by a discursive presentation from Prof. Stephen Heppell entitled 'The Art of Learning'.
Now this is not your normal way of approaching a conference or a briefing. The normal drill is: turn up, drink some coffee, chat, listen, chat, leave. You don't normally walk out of the meeting room before the main event to wander through an exhibition and hear an expert guide talk you through each a collection of challenging mostly abstract art.
And yet, strangely, it worked. Of course Prof. Heppell is an experienced speaker, with a great deal to say, all backed up by experience. One of his themes was the need to change our learning spaces in schools in order to change the way pupils learn, and he led a fascinating discussion on this.
The discussion, however, would not have been as wide-ranging, I believe, without the gallery tour beforehand. It acted as the equivalent of a mental warm-up, getting us out of whatever mindset we were in before we arrived, prompting us to look beyond the obvious, and to challenge our existing thinking.
This business of learning by walking about and chatting was absolutely in line with Prof. Heppell's message, but I reckon that any event could benefit from a beginning that asked people to use their minds a little differently, on a subject matter which they would never normally encounter in their working day.

Raleigh Event DJ Unveils 'My Flip Wedding'
Raleigh Event DJ teams up with Storymix Media to give customers a budget-friendly way to preserve their wedding memories.
By: CoordEgy, Inc.
Using the Power of the Crowd . . .
Who knows you better than your family and friends, right? So why not capture those intimate and personal moments as seen from their eyes? Enter . . . 'My Flip Wedding,' a DIY (Do It Yourself) service unlike any other. Here's how it works: Raleigh Event DJ supplies wedding couples with easy to use, high-quality, video cameras. The Bride and groom then give the cameras to family & friends who use and pass them around throughout the whole wedding event. The cameras get returned to Raleigh Event DJ and they handle all the behind-the-scenes logistics.
After newlyweds return from their honeymoon, they simply sign into their Storymix account online and choose a movie theme, select music, add titles & captions, and pick their favorite moments. From there, the creative experts at Storymix Media take over and work their magic to produce a Hollywood-Quality keepsake movie that is more personal, more interesting, than what you might obtain from a high-priced videographer.
Why 'My Flip Wedding?'
In 2010, brides who hired videographer services spent on average $1,152 nationally and $1,123 in the Raleigh Metro area according to Shane McMurray, CEO & Founder at The Wedding Report, Inc. It's no surprise to industry professionals that today's economy has couples frugally stretching their budgets to create a memorable wedding experience, without burdening themselves with a massive bill. But that often means making tough choices like cutting back on the essentials, doing without the niceties and taking advantage of DIY alternatives.
As Raleigh Event DJ's owner Brad Junell observes, "By the time brides and grooms come to us, if they haven't already hired a videographer, their budget can't afford the high price tag." Junell feels "that's a shame considering how much time, money & emotion goes into planning and preparation."
"That's where we come in" says Mike Fisher CEO Storymix Media, "we noticed the popularity of Flip-cameras and smart-phones at weddings and envisioned a better way for brides and grooms to capture all that video, without the hassle of trying to track down all those devices after the fact." And according to Ariane Fisher Creative Director at Storymix Media, "even if a bride could get a hold of all of those devices, they still have the dilemma of needing the tools and having the ability to assemble that footage into a polished movie – so we developed the 'Wedding Mix' array of video services." Whether its Wedding Mix Video services, Photo Slideshows, Fusion Video, etc., Storymix provides consumers and businesses with professional services to effortlessly obtain premium results from their existing media at affordable prices.
A Marriage of Two Wedding Merchants
When asked how the two companies partnered, Junell explains: "I stumbled across a comment Ariane made to a story by Paul Pannone," industry leader in investigative news, information and reporting at eWedNewz.com, "so I checked Storymix's website and saw they provided video slideshow services – something our Raleigh Event DJ website was very much in need of at the time." While working on a slideshow project, Junell looked further into all the other Storymix products and was intrigued with their 'Wedding Mix' Video services. "After having such a wonderful experience working with the folks at Storymix Media on two different projects, I recognized the Wedding Mix services would have tremendous value to our customers. So I began communicating with the Fishers about Raleigh Event DJ offering their product, branded as 'My Flip Wedding,' directly to our customers."
While working out the details, Junell recognized that the 'My Flip Wedding' collaboration could be enjoyed by a greater number of wedding couples and suggested that Storymix create an 'affiliate'
"To me it's all about customer service" says Junell. "I realized Storymix Media had an amazing product and it was definitely something I knew our customers would want, need and could afford. Life is short and memories fade. The thought of couples not being able to re-live their wedding day years from now, not seeing the moments they missed because their attention was focused elsewhere, to not be able to see loved ones having fun who might have since passed away – simply because they assume video options are too expensive really breaks my heart. Storymix has a fantastic product at a fantastic price and I am thrilled to be able to offer it to our customers and also help Storymix reach new customers at the same time. It's a WIN:WIN:WIN endeavor in my book!"
In addition to offering customers various wedding video services directly through their website, Storymix Media offers three different Affiliate-Partner options to wedding vendors interested in providing their customers with value-added video services like Raleigh Event DJ's 'My Flip Wedding.'
During the week of September 12, 2011, Raleigh Event DJ's Brad Junell will be in Las Vegas with Ariane Fisher of Storymix Media for the American Disc Jockey Association'

CNN's Fredricka Whitfield lands that blockbuster interview with Janice Dickinson, Bill Cosby's most famous rape victim, and what does she do? Not satisfied with getting a full account of what happened that night — with all those juicy, tabloid-worthy, viewer-boosting details — Whitfield cruelly slut-shames a tearful Dickinson on national television.
Before anyone even says a word, CNN's curious choice of art work for the set's backdrop clues viewers in for how this interview's about to go down. Sultry, pouting, art-deco temptresses à la Patrick Nagel (Duran Duran's Rio album cover, 1982) for an interview with Cosby's rape victim? Really? What in Sam Hill were these people thinking?
Sure enough, Whitfield opens with a variation of that tired, old trope, "Well, if it really was rape, why didn't you say anything until now?"
"What has held you back all these years from telling this story in detail until now?"
Like most rape victims, Dickinson felt ashamed. And although she doesn't say it, she probably also didn't think anyone would believe her.
"I remember feeling humiliated, disgusted, I had revulsion towards towards Cosby. Cosby was a very powerful man, and probably still is. You know, I trusted this man. I stuffed it, I compartmentalized it, because I was embarrassed."
Whitfield goes on to ask how Dickinson wound up being alone with Cosby:
"And at what point did you find yourself alone with Mr. Cosby? You trusted him, but then things went in a different direction."
Things went in a different direction?!?! No. Cosby raped her. But why bother expecting the falsely balanced, uncontroversial folks at CNN to challenge rape culture? You'll only wind up disappointed.
Dickinson explains that the other person left the dinner table and she mentioned to Cosby that she was having bad stomach cramps.
"Mr. Gardner, Stu Gardner [a musician and associate of Cosby's who went on to write the theme song for The Cosby Show] left the dinner table, I was alone with him, and I had menstrual cramps … you know … stomach cramps. He said, 'Oh, I've got something for that,' and he gave me a pill."
A pill? Whitfield demands, "Did you ask what it was?"
Right, because Dickinson was supposed to somehow magically know that Cosby has a habit of drugging women and then raping them, all the way back in 1982.
"I don't remember. I don't remember that. But, he's giving me a pill. I trust the guy."
Dickinson next explains that although she had a successful career as one of the first supermodels, she also had acting ambitions and Cosby had led her to believe that he would help her. And of course, good old CNN trots a couple slutty model money shots to make it look like Dickinson was "asking for it."
A disgusted Whitfield sneers, "Why did you feel like you trusted him?" Dickinson explains that Cosby — like many abusive sociopaths — came across as charming and trustworthy. Plus, he had immense clout in the entertainment industry.
"Because of his demeanor, and the promise of a career, and […] I wanted a television career. I had a successful career for commercials, I wanted to take it to the next level."
The appalled expression on Whitfield's face shows she clearly thinks Dickinson was a total idiot for trusting Cosby — even though nearly our entire nation trusted him at the time as a beloved comedian and father figure (although The Cosby Show didn't air for another two years, Gen-X grew up with him as the affable Jello Pudding spokesman and narrator for Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids).
Oh — but since Dickinson was in rehab — saying "no" to the glass of wine wasn't good enough, she should have said "no" to the pill, too. Whitfield goes in for the jugular:
"And at the same time, you're telling me you're in rehab, you're still very fragile, he offered you wine, that was a no-no in your view, but now he offers you a pill, and you still trust him?"
And here, a tearful Dickinson spills the details from what she remembers from the night Cosby raped her:
"It was red wine, it was a pill, and when I started to black out, I had a Polaroid camera on me. That's when I took several photographs with the polaroid — I had one of the first Polaroid cameras — and I just remembered shooting these pictures and having them on me, in my room…"
Dickinson also remembers how horrible she felt when she woke up the next morning:
"…and the next morning, when I woke up, last thing I remembered, I had blacked out, and Cosby mounting me, like the monster that he was, and I was thinking, 'What the fff … heck?' and passing out."
Although Dickinson is best known for her modelling, she is also an avid professional photographer and the Polaroid camera she mentions– which printed out photos instantly back when we still had to send photos to the lab — was the coveted "it" gadget of the day. A photo she snapped of Cosby — in a hideously ugly patchwork bathrobe that presages Dr. Huxtable's dreadful sweaters — doesn't serve as evidence, but it certainly is striking.
Whitfield ends the interview by asking what the heck Dickinson wants from Cosby anyway.
"What do you want from Bill Cosby right now. What do you need to hear from him, what does he need to do?"
Well, um, gee… since Cosby risks no penalties or jail time due to the statutes of limitations, maybe he could apologize to all his victims and promise to see a shrink and never rape anyone again. And then we'll all win the lottery and have world peace and sparkly unicorns.
Dickinson sharply exhales, then angrily spits out:
"I would like Cosby to come out and at least acknowledge that he is a pig, that he is a monster, and he raped me."
Because, yes, rape does hurt and damage the victim, even after all these years.
