United States Patent O U.S. Cl. 338-211 19 Claims ABSTRACT F THE DISCLOSURE Electrical resistor, particularly for use in electrical measuring instruments, comprising an elongated base strip of thin insulating material, such Mylar film, having printed thereon a meandering line pattern of electrical resistive material. From appropriate tapping points on such resistive line pattern printed connections are provided to a further electrically conductive deposit on the base strip with lan arrangement such that each or` the various resistive line sections between adjacent tappings is initially shunted by a part of the further conductive -deposit so that the overall resistance value between end connection terminals can be increased by breaking the continuity of Iat least one part of the further deposit as by means of a punch hole through the base member and the overlying conductive deposit.
This invention relates to electrical resistors and is more particularly concerned with the construction of a resistor using printed circuit methods for its initial manufacture. A particular, although -by no means exclusive, applica-tion of the invention is to the construction of electrical resistors for use in electrical measuring instruments Iand particularly those used for providing a moving coil type instrument with an overall coil circuit resistance of predetermined value. The invention is also applicable to resistors used in measuring instruments for range adjustment purposes.
Objects of the invention include the provision of an improved construction of resistor which permits easy adjustment of its resistance value to a particular chosen figure and which may, in its iinal manufactured state, be caused to assume a very small physical form.
In accordance with the invention a resistor comp-rises a thin film-like base member of electrical insulating material and a line pattern of electrical resistive material deposited thereon and -frorn tapping points on such resistive line pattern there are provided electrical connections to a further electrically conductive deposit o-n said base member, the arrangement being such that each of the various resistive line sections between adjacent tappings is initially shunted by a part of said further electrically conductive deposit whereby the overall resistance value between connection terminals connected to said line pattern may be increased by breaking the continuity of at least one part of said further deposit, e.g., by means of a punch hole through the base member and the overlying conductive deposit.
Preferably, the resistive line pattern is arranged with a sinuous or meandering form while the further conductive deposit may be located adjacent one of the edges of or near one end of an insulating base of elongated and relatively narrow strip form. After adjustment of the resistyance value, such a strip form insulating base may be rolled up into a cylinder of small diameter suitable for insertion into the casing o-f an electrical measuring or other instrument.
The resistive line pattern may be arranged as a plurality 3,541,491 Patented Nov. 17, 1970 of sec-tions of equal resistance value or, more conveniently, as a first group of sections each having a iirst, relatively high, resistance value, such as 10 ohms each, and a second group of sections each of a second, relatively low, resistance value, such as 0.5 ohm each. Coarse adjustment of the overall resistance value may rst be effected by placing one or more of the high value (10 ohm) sections into series circuit between end connection terminals of the resistor and iine adjustment then eiiected by placing one or more of the low value (0.5 ohm) sections into series circuit with the already chosen high value sections.
In a preferred form however, the respective resistance values of the various line pattern sections are arranged to have a substantially binary relationship with one another, that is to say, each section is of approximately twice the resistance of the next lower value section. By this means the number of individual punch or equivalent cricuit opening operations needed to adjust the overall resistance value to any chosen figure may be substantially reduced.
In order that the nature of the invention may be more readily understood -two particular practical embodiments -thereof will now be described in greater detail and by way of illustrative example only with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. A1, by its two portions (a) and (b), illustrates the initial, unadjusted, form of one resistor construction in accordance with the invention;
FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 are enlarged scale fragmentary detail views of the construction of FIG. 1, illustrating the manner -of adjusting the resistance value.
FIG. 5, by its two portions (a) and (b), shows the initial, unadjusted, form of .a second and preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 6 is an enlarged scale fragmentary detail view of part of the construction of FIG. 5, illust-rating the manner of resistance adjustment while FIG. 7 shows a final rolled-up form of either of the embodiments of FIGS. 1-4 or FIGS. 5 and I6 after its resistance value has been adjusted and in readiness for incorporation in an electrical apparatus, for instance in a moving coil type measuring instrument.
In FIGS. 1 and 5, the two sections (a) and (b) should be regarded as joined together at the lines P, P.
Referring first to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1-4, this comprises a base member 10 in which the form of an elongated strip of constant, relativelynarrow, width and formed of a film of tlexible electrical insulating material such as that known under the registered trademark Mylan The film thickness used is conveniently 0.003 inch. Such base strip 10 has deposited thereon, by any convenient printed circuit technique, a sinuous or meandering line pattern 11 formed of electrical resistive material. Conveniently the deposited resistive material is copper/nickel 0.001 inch in thickness.
The electrical resistance element formed by the line pattern 11 is arranged as a Afirst group of ten sections 12, each of approximately ten ohms resistance value, and a second group of twenty-two sections 13 each of approximately 0.5 ohm resistance value. Such twenty-two sections 13 are conveniently arranged as two subgroups 14a, 14b each having eleven sections as shown.
The strip 1-0 is also provided with two electrically conductive connection terminal portions 15a, 15b at one end. Each of said terminal positions is located closely adjacent a longitudinal side edge of the base strip.
A further electrically conductive deposit is provided on the base strip 10. This comprises stripes 19, 20` closely adjacent the opposite side edges of the base strip. The wider end regions 19a, 20a of such stripes are electrically connected respectively to the terminal portions 15a, 15b while the other ends of the stripes 19, 20-` are electrically interconnected by a transverse coupling stripe 16. An additional short-circuiting strap connection 118 extends between the ends of the regions 19a, 20a, remote from the terminal portions 15a, 15b.
The various sections 12 of the first resistive line pattern group have their respective ends electrically connected to spaced-apart points of the stripe 19', the immediately adjacent ends of each pair of adjacent sections being connected to close spaced positions on the stripe as indicated, for example, at 17a in FIG. 1. The group of sections 12 can, therefore, be considered as a resistance having a plurality of spaced tapping points from which connections areitaken to spaced points of the stripe 19 which, initially, operates to shunt or short-circuit each of the resistance sections.
The various sections 13 of the respective subgroups 14a, 14b are connected in series between the strap connection 18 and the stripe regions 19a, 20a and have the spaced tapping points between adjacent resistance sections each connected by means of a tapping link 17b to the adjacent stripe region 19a or 20a so that each of such resistance sections is initially shunted and virtually short circuited by a conductive path of much lower resistance than the section itself.
In a resistance adjusting operation with this embodiment of the invention the short circuiting strap 18 is left intact when the final resistance value required is less than that of one of the sections 12, e.g., for a resistance of ohms or less. Within this range of resistance, an appropriate number of the lower valued sections 13 is placed in series circuit between the connection terminals 15a, 15b by making a punch hole through the base film 10 and the appropriate one of the stripe regions 19a, 20a, each punch hole being located, as indicated by way of example at the points x, FIG. l, and FIG. 2` between a pair of the links 17 which connect the related stripe regions 19a, 20a to the adjacent resistance section. Each break in the shunting stripe serves to increase the overall resistance value between the end connection terminals of the resistor. When, as is preferably the case, the stripe sections 19a, 20a, act as a virtual short circuit of the associated resistor sections each break operates to introduce an additionally low resistance value unit, e.g., 0.5 ohm, between the connection terminals 15a, 15b.
If a total resistance value greater than that of one section 13, e.g., greater than 10 ohms, is required, the short circuiting strap 18 is rst broken by means of a punch hole at the point y (see also FIG. 3). This makes the rst group of sections 12 available for insertion in series circuit between the connection terminals 15a, 15b. The required number of such high Value, l0 ohms, sections 12 may likewise be placed in series circuit between the connection terminals by making punchings through the base strip and the overlying connection stripe 19 at points such as those indicated at z in FIG. l and, to a greater magnied scale, in FIG. 4. The resistance of the inserted tirst group or high value sections 12 will, of course, be additional to that of any previously inserted second group or low value sections 13. lIn a normal adjustment or calibration operation, a number of the high value sections 12 would lirst be inserted by making appropriate punchings after breaking the short circuiting strap 18. Subsequent final adjustment would then be effected by making appropriate further punchings to place one or more of the low value sections 13 in circuit.
The base strip 10I is conveniently provided also with apertures 21a adjacent the connection terminal end to facilitate its securing after being wound up to form a cylindrical roll as shown in FIG. 7. Additional apertures, as shown at 2lb, may also be provided at chosen positions to assist in the accurate location of a punching tool when making the appropriate breaks in the continuity of the shunting deposit of stripes 19, 19a and 20a. Preferably, the strip-like element is placed within a punching mechanism having a plurality of separate punch tools which are aligned respectively with each of the different available positions, x, y and z by engagement of the apertures 21a, 2lb of the strip with suitable locating projections. Chosen ones of such punch tools may then be operated as required by push buttons or keys or by power means such as a solenoid if the resistance adjustment is being made automatically under the control of automatic Calibrating apparatus.
Referring now to the modied and preferred construction shown in FIG. 5, this comprises a base strip 10 of elongated form as in the first embodiment and which is also provided with a deposited line pattern 11 of resistance material to form the resistive elements. In this embodiment twelve resistance sections 22, 23, 24 31, 32 and 33 are employed, the length and shape of the resistive line pattern being so chosen that their respective resistance values have an approximately binary relationship to one another. For example, the smallest value section 22 may have a resistance of 0.25 ohm, the next larger resistance section 23, a value of 0.5 ohm, the section 24 a value of 1.0 ohm and so on with the highest value resistance section 33 having a value of 512 ohms. The various sections 22-23 are connected in series between end connection terminals 15a, 15b with the aid of junction areas 34-44 forming parts of a further deposit of electrical conductive material on the base film 10. These areas 34-44 are all located near to the end of the strip 10 having the terminal connections 15a, 15b. Such junction areas 34-44 are initially interconnected With one another by links or bridging strips as shown at 45 so that a low value shunting or short circuiting connection is present across each resistance section between the end connection terminals 15a, 15b. By breaking appropriate ones of said links 45 as by means of punch holes, as shown by way of example at q and r in the enlarged scale FIG. 3, any chosen one or more of the resistance sections 22, 23 32, 33 may be brought into series circuit connection between the end terminal connections.
In practice, on account of the tolerance in resistance value needed with each of the deposited resistive sections, a true binary relationship between the various section values may not be satisfactory. A relationship of somewhat less than 2 to l between adjacent sections is advisable. For example, with a tolerance of i15% in the resistance value of each deposited section, the section 22 may be nominally 0.25 ohm, the next section 23 one of 0.39 ohm, the section 24 one of 0.46 ohm and so on with the largest value section 33 having a value of 55 ohms.
In this embodiment apertures as shown at 21a and 2lb may be provided in the base film for securing and location purposes as in the 4first embodiment.
As resistance, once added by making appropriate punchings, cannot afterwards be removed from its connection in circuit between the strips end connection terminals 15a, 15b, the preferred adjustment technique involves the use of a range of external simulating resistances in series with the resistors under adjustment in a balance indicator circuit so that punching can be effected after trial insertion of resistance of substantially the same value.
The further electrically conductive deposits forming the connection terminal portions 15a, 15b, the stripes 19, 20, the straps 16, 18, the junction areas 34-44 and the links 45 are formed simultaneously with the resistive sections of the same resistive material at the line pattern.
After adjustment of the resistive value in the manner described, the base film strip is rolled up into the form of a tight cylinder as shown in FIG. 7 with the end thereof carrying the terminal connections 15a and 15b lying outermost. After securing such rolled-up form, as by means of ties 46 through the apparatus 21a, the resultant small cylindrical element is suitable for mounting within the casing of an electrical measuring instrument or for use as a component resistor in other electrical apparatus. With the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the major part of the strip length may be rolled up to cylindrical form before the resistance adjustment operation is performed, since all of the positions where punching may be required are located in that part of the strip lying adjacent the end carrying the terminal connections a, 15b. Such a reduction in volume of the resistor during its adjustment enhances its convenience in use.
Various modilications may clearly -be made. For example, some or all of the resistance sections formed by the deposited line pattern may be arranged in parallel with one another by the interconnection of tapping points thereon through the further electrically conductive deposit. By breaking such interconnections at appropriate places, one or more of such parallel sections may be removed from the circuit path between the end connection terminals with resultant increase of overall resistance. Instead of using punched holes to break the shunting connections, notches may be cut in an edge region of the base strip to intersect the further deposit or the material of the latter removed mechanically by an abrasive or scraping action.

News Shop owner guilty of counterfeit salesSoVaNow.com / September 27, 2012
A former Riverdale business operator pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday to selling counterfeit auto equipment and agreed to pay restitution of $328,000 to General Motors, the parts maker.Justin DeMatteo, 31, of Saxe, who ran The Shop at the time of a December 2011 raid by federal agents, will also forfeit $109,074 in property and contraband amassed as part of the scheme. The conviction was announced yesterday by the U.S. Justice Department's Criminal Division, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, and FBI Assistant Director Joseph Demarest. DeMatteo pleaded guilty before Senior U.S. District Judge Claude M. Hilton in U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Virginia to one count of trafficking in goods bearing counterfeit marks. Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 11, 2013. In court documents, DeMatteo admitted he sold counterfeit GM Corporation-branded "Tech 2" vehicle diagnostic systems between January and May 2011. The Tech 2 is a hand-held computer used to diagnose problems in vehicles that use electronic controls and interfaces, according to the U.S. Attorney's office. GM also offers a newer diagnostic interface — the Controller Area Network diagnostic interface (CANdi) module, which serves as an enhancement to the Tech 2 — to communicate with future on-board computer systems. DeMatteo admitted he offered for sale purported Tech 2 units and CANdi modules that bore counterfeit GM marks. DeMatteo sold the counterfeit Tech 2 units on eBay and accepted payment via Paypal. He also purchased the units from unauthorized Chinese manufacturers and in many cases had them drop-shipped directly from China to U.S. customers. On Dec. 15, 2011, federal agents executed search warrants at DeMatteo's residence in Saxe and at his place of business in South Boston. Among other things, agents seized numerous counterfeit GM Tech 2 units and CANdi modules, and various computer equipment and documents that contained evidence linking DeMatteo to the sale of the counterfeit Tech 2 units. According to the stipulated statement of facts and plea agreement, the number of Tech 2 and CANdi units sold by DeMatteo or seized during the searches totaled nearly 100. The retail price of 100 authentic products would have been more than $380,000. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lindsay Kelly of the Eastern District of Virginia and Trial Attorney Evan Williams of the Criminal Division's Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section and was investigated by the FBI's Intellectual Property Rights Unit.

A couple of weeks ago there was an interesting conversation on ASAE's "Collaborate" board about the merits and/or limitations of RFPs. Most consultants were skeptical about the value of their participation. Some argued that their approaches were unique to each client, crafted on the basis of in-depth understanding of individual needs and circumstances and, hence, could not fit neatly within the narrow specs of RFP's.
I am in complete agreement but have another, related pet peeve: the fact that the detailed specifications of RFP's presume that the answers are largely known and that no help with diagnosis and solutions-development is needed. Starting with answers or the wrong questions is a huge impediment that, unfortunately, is not limited to occasional requests for proposals. It is an inside-out mode of problem-solving; one that is shaped by internal assumptions rather than emerge from open discovery in the marketplace. RFP's look for tactical help with design and implementation according to specifications rather than with rigorous discovery and innovation. As a result they result in outcomes that are variations of current products and practices. I am sure that many projects--building a bridge or implementing a new accounting or software system, for instance--lend themselves to RFP's. My peeve is with RFPs that impose a commodity approach to strategic challenges, precluding customization, innovation and truly new outcomes.
I once responded to an RFP from a technology related association, based in Northern Virginia. They needed consulting support to assess members' "program preferences" and come up with a new, improved programs and benefits mix for the next year. Outcomes would also include recommendations for a new membership structure and a marketing campaign strategy.
It was only later that I realized why responding to an RFP seemed so frustrating and futile. By starting with answers rather than strategic questions the RFP had prescribed an action plan that pre-determined the nature of results and blocked new types of solutions and opportunities. This is how:
- Diagnosis: The RFP started with assumptions about the problem facing them and the kind of solutions needed – new programs, marketing campaign, etc. The challenge we saw was that of an association struggling with attrition and inability to stand out in a crowded market place. Why was it struggling? How did customers view this market place and determined what was of value to them? In a world filled to the brim with events, information, services, online subscriptions, groups and resources why would one more local venue of the same variety of programs stand out from the crowd and have enough value for executives to attend? The RFP did not ask these questions and was not interested in digging under the symptoms to uncover the cause.
- Goal and Approach: Based on its own assumptions the association specified a course of action focused on product development, marketing and service re-design. Had the process started with strategic questions rather than solutions and looked to customers for answers, the project's objectives and course of action might look completely different. For example, a project design might be driven by a question, such as: what were the most critical problems customers grappled with and what kind of unique solutions might the association deliver that made a meaningful difference to their ability to succeed? Instead of searching for the right mix of events, the project's objectives might be to search for a new basis for competitive advantage and value proposition on which to build its business.
The point here is not which approach is best but that starting with answers that dictate specifications precludes true discovery and the alternative approaches and outcomes this discovery might suggest. Most importantly, by eschewing open discovery, the RFP process is limiting the most critical piece of the project: the customer.
- Mode of Discovery: Because of the presumption that the association already knew the answers, the RFP was asking for a conventional and mostly nominal mode of research--surveys and occasional focus groups. To get to what really kept customers up at night and how they actually experienced it in the course of the day, week or year, they would need to go far beyond formal, generic research to get inside their members' thinking, see the world through their eyes, understand the relationships, motivations, values, practices and behavior that make up their context and shape decisions. This is why we would use one-on-one interviews and participant observation, among other approaches. It was also clear to us that the association was trying to be everything to everybody, lacking a basis for prioritizing their best and most strategic customers or sufficient depth of understanding any one group. The results were generic products members could get from myriads of other sources rather than unique and high-value solutions one "couldn't live without."
Project design & activities: The RFP included a detailed list of "tasks to be accomplished," implying that the association knew exactly how to solve its problem, for example:
Work with a task force of staff and volunteer leaders to determine member needs that should be addressed and themes for next year's programs.
Develop aggressive communications strategy making sure members know about all our offerings and initiatives and understand our value
Implement a general membership structure and campaign.
Identify possible local and national funding sources
The association's list of tasks was based on its assumptions that new products and structures would improve retention and recruitment. Yet the RFP's selection criteria treated assumptions as facts and evaluated consultants on their ability to execute these tasks. The path to value creation would require a different list of tasks, for example:
Develop collaborative teams of stakeholders –selected members, staff, suppliers, influencers and others in members' value network; assign them roles, authority and responsibilities for problem-solving.
Put in place joint learning processes (including staff) to understand how members define, perceive and experience value
Develop passive members into community of shared purpose; tap selected members to co-design and test solutions.
- Identify and develop new financial and business model
- Outcomes: A strategic and open discovery process would likely reveal that creating value for these customers might look nothing like the association's go-to benefits-for dues packages. For example, it could be that making delivery speedier, providing answers in real time or integrating and prioritizing disparate pieces of information for a company's senior team and helping them apply it was the missing piece a member needed to succeed that no one else could provide and, hence, the basis for a new value proposition. Outcomes in this case would include not only new offerings but the development of a new business model, culture and organizational capabilities.
Uncovering a new basis for connecting with and providing unique solutions to members, rather than better programs and services, could be a potential game changer; one that might make a difference to the association's ability to compete. Yet by issuing an RFP that precluded even the exploration of solutions outside existing norms, the association was placing roadblocks to substantive change and reinvention.
And here is the irony. The benefit of consulting help (internal task force or distinctive "solutions" or other innovation unit within an organization) is to jolt people from the entrenched mental habits and assumptions we all inevitably fall into without realizing it and provide a different lens for looking at the familiar landscape--uncover hidden value in existing resources; discern new opportunities that did not look like what the organization had come to recognize as "opportunities;" refocus mature organizations on what matters to the customers. The RFP mentality squanders the value of strategic advice by turning potential innovators into implementers. No wonder they don't succeed in motivating those who could help the most.

There was a time when geek girls were mocked for their independent style. But the popularity of new technology and films like "Lord of the Rings," have opened up the geek culture to self-proclaimed non-geeks. Here is how to dress like a geek girl.
- Skill level:
- Easy
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Thick-rimmed glasses
- Brightly colored clothes
- Large shoulder bag
- Creative accessories

- 1
Buy a pair of glasses, whether you need them or not. Both regular geek and geek chic styles utilize the dark, thick-rimmed glasses. Horn-rimmed glasses are stylish and scream geek, even when you have to dress professionally.
- 2
Keep your hairstyle simple and clean. Many geek girls wear their hair out of their face in a ponytail or bun, but geek chic style allows for simple, wavy or straight styles that don't require a lot of work or hair products. Blunt cut bangs are a good geek girl style, too.
- 3
Wear shirts and dresses in bright colors that don't match. For a professional geek girl look, wear a neutral blazer with a brightly colored shirt and a pleated skirt.
- 4
Pick shirts that symbolize popular geek girl video games, computer technology, comics and inside jokes that only other geeks understand. Pair these with colorful shoes or boots.
- 5
Accessorise your wardrobe with a big bag that you sling over your shoulder. The bag must have plenty of pockets to hold all your technological devices, such as a mobile phone, camera and laptop.
- 6
Impress your geek boyfriend by getting some geek girl panties. Speciality shops sell panties with computer and video game graphics or sayings on them.
- 7
Make your own accessories by using things that define you as a geek. If you're into video games, make a video game controller belt. If computers are more your thing, create bracelets or necklaces from old computer power cords.

AL Utilities REtooled (development files)
ALURE is a utility library to help manage common tasks with OpenAL applications. This includes device enumeration and initialization, file loading, and streaming.
The purpose of this library is to provide pre-made functionality that would otherwise be repetitive or difficult to (re)code for various projects and platforms, such as loading a sound file into an OpenAL buffer and streaming an audio file through a buffer queue. Support for different formats is consistant across platforms, so no special checks are needed when loading files, and all formats are handled through the same API.
Currently ALURE includes a basic .wav and .aif file reader, and can leverage external libraries such as libSndFile (for extended wave formats and several others), VorbisFile (for Ogg Vorbis), and FLAC (for FLAC and Ogg FLAC), and others. External libraries can also be dynamically loaded at run-time, or individually disabled outright at compile time.
This package contains the files necessary for development.

As almost all my furniture is recycled (Gumtree), gifted or picked up from charity shops - I had to collect whatever I could get my hands on while I was moving from rental to rental. Considering the space limitations its amazing all these free bits and pieces fit into the space as well as they do! I have plans to paint the timber sideboard, my bedroom chest of drawers and possibly the kitchen hutch. I guess we shall see...

The furniture placement in my workspace is always changing according to my mood and the projects I'm concentrating on at the time. If I'm cutting out fabrics then I'll have a trestle table in the center of the space and my sewing table pushed against the back of the couch. I know the panorama image makes the space look huge...but theres just enough room to walk between each desk.

In the near future I'm hoping to swap the sewing desk and trestle table for a custom built cutting table with storage underneath for all my boxes of fabric and the sewing machine built into the table top so I'll be able to handle larger quilting projects without breaking down into a sobbing mess 😣
Take a look around...

Isn't it somewhat dangerous to do glass blowing? My father used to do it for a Ho by when I was a child, and he was told later that it had contributed to his lung and sto ach cancer ( he was not a smoker or drinker).
I have since been told that glass blowing co tributes to lead poisoning, which my father also suffered from.

Are external devices (HDMI, Easylink) able to change picture format and settings?
I have a problem.
I have a Philips BD player connected to my 58PFL9955 with HDMI. Easylink is activated on both devices. Latest firmware on both devices.
When using (playing media files, starting NetTV) the BDP the TV often changes the picture format (e.g. to auto fill - my setup was however "auto zoom" before). Sometimes even the screen edges will be changed - I have them at 0 on HDMI inputs.
My question: do BDPs or Easylink or any other HDMI protocol have the possibility to change such settings on the TV? If not, what can be done to prevent an external device to change my setting of the TV?

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Merevin Early OriginsThe surname Merevin was first found in Wiltshire, where this distinguished Welsh family claim descent from Mervyn Vrych, (Merfyn Frych 'Merfyn the Freckled', Merfyn ap Gwriad 'Merfyn son of Gwriad', Merfyn Camwri 'Merfyn the Oppressor') an 11th century Lord of Anglesey, who settled in Wiltshire on the English Welsh border. He is thought to have died around 844 and was King of Gwynedd from around 825 to his death. He came from a long line of nobility. Llywelyn ap Merfyn (died 942) was King of Powys, son of Merfyn ap Rhodri, and grandson of Rhodri the Great. His father, Merfyn ap Rhodri (died c.900) was also King of Powis (878-900.) Mystery surrounds his death. Some believe he died due to the incursion into Anglesey by the Viking Ingimundr. Others believe he lost his realm to an invasion by his brother Cadell, King of Ceredigion. All trace back to Rhodri ap Merfyn ( c. 820-878), later known as Rhodri the Great (Welsh: Rhodri Mawr), who succeeded his father, Merfyn Frych, as King of Gwynedd in 844. He is referred to "King of the Britons" by the Annals of Ulster and later as the "King of Wales." Merevin Spelling VariationsMerevin Spelling VariationsThere are relatively few surnames native to Wales, but they have an inordinately large number of spelling variations. Early variations of Welsh surnames can be explained by the fact that very few people in the early Middle Ages were literate. Priests and the few other literate people were responsible for recording names in official documents. And because most people could not specific how to properly record their names it was up to the individual recorder of that time to determine how a spoken name should be recorded. Variations due to the imprecise or improper recording of a name continued later in history when names originally composed in the Brythonic Celtic, language of Wales, known by natives as Cymraeg, were transliterated into English. Welsh names that were documented in English often changed dramatically since the native language of Wales, which was highly inflected, did not copy well. Occasionally, however, spelling variations were carried out according to an individual's specific design: a branch loyalty within the family, a religious adherence, or even patriotic affiliations could be indicated by minor variations. The spelling variations of the name Merevin have included Mervyn, Mervin, Mervyng, Merwin and others. Merevin Early HistoryMerevin Early HistoryThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Merevin research. Another 163 words (12 lines of text) covering the years 1799, 1603, 1675, 1661 and 1666 are included under the topic Early Merevin History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. Merevin Early Notables (pre 1700)Merevin Early Notables (pre 1700)Another 48 words (3 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Merevin Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. Merevin In IrelandMerevin In IrelandSome of the Merevin family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 143 words (10 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationDuring the latter half of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, the people of Wales journeyed to North America to find a new life. They made major contributions to the arts, industry and commerce of both Canada and the United States, and added a rich cultural heritage to their newly adopted societies. A look at the immigration and passenger lists has shown a number of people bearing the name Merevin: Andrew Mervine, whose Oath of Allegiance was recorded in Pennsylvania in 1779; Ferdinand Mervyn, who settled in Philadelphia in 1808; and Alexander Mervin, who was recorded as a British Alien in the United States during the War of 1812.. MottoMottoThe motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: De Dieu tout Motto Translation: From God everything. Merevin Family Crest ProductsMerevin Family Crest ProductsSee AlsoSee AlsoCitationsCitationsOther References
The Merevin Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Merevin Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 29 August 2016 at 08:45. Sign Up

Panel to appraise Mahakan fort homes
- 21 Mar 2017 at 05:00
Four houses in the Mahakan community, numbers 187, 189, 191, and 193, are demolished by City Hall on Monday after the owners agreed to move out. (Photo and video by Apichart Jinakul)
A 10-member panel will be formed to look into the historical value of the remaining houses in the Mahakan Fort Community to determine whether they should be preserved, says a source close to City Hall.
The panel will determine whether houses in the community should be preserved based on their historical and architectural value, the source said.
He was speaking after a meeting of representatives from the Mahakan Fort community, academics, representatives from non-governmental organisations and city officials who met to discuss the city's plans for the site.
The new panel will be chaired by deputy Bangkok governor Chakkaphan Phewngam and will include three representatives from the community, three from the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), and another three from the Committee for Preservation and Development of Rattanakosin City and Old Town, said the source.
Apart from the panel members, three more representatives will work together to coordinate the issues affecting the community, added the source. The three will be community leader Thawatchai Voramahakun, who will represent the community, Yutthaphan Meechai, secretary to the Bangkok governor Aswin Kwanmuang, who will represent the BMA, and a military officer who will represent the military force overseeing peace and order in area.
According to the source, the verification process will take around one month to decide whether the houses are worth conserving. Houses that do not meet the criteria will be demolished.
Earlier, Chatri Prakitnonthakan, from the Association of Siamese Architects and Silpakorn University, suggested 24 houses be conserved.
The source said the BMA is preparing to improve the landscape of the emptied area.
Meanwhile, four more houses in the community -- No 187, 189, 191 and 193 -- were demolished yesterday, the source said.
There are 29 houses remaining, and four other houses which were re-built in the community. Social activist Inthira Wittayasomboon confirmed yesterday that owners of the houses being torn down had spoken to the BMA, and they had agreed to move out.

STOP PRESS Three archaeological walks designed by IAG with Natural England now available. Click here for walks and details. |
Next IAG
event - Monday, 24 April 2017 Mike Powell Luck, LIDAR and Lost Roads: recent community archaeology in the North Pennines Altogether Archaeology (AA) is a community group dedicated to pursuing archaeological research across the North Pennines area of England. The talk will focus on two of the group's recent projects and tell the story of how our involvement in a large scale landscape survey using LIDAR led on to a chance discovery which resulted in our most recent excavation near Hexham. Mike Powell wanted to be an archaeologist from the age of 14 but it was only as he approached retirement from an alternative career in 2010 that available time and the right opportunity coincided when the Altogether Archaeology project started up on his doorstep. Mike was heavily involved in steering the group through it's recent transition from a professionally-directed project managed by the North Pennines AONB Partnership to an independent community organisation led by volunteers. He is currently Secretary of the AA Management Committee. Meet at the Community Centre, Ingleton, at 7.30pm. Members £1.50, non-members £3 22 March 2017 |
Voices from the Past "Voices from the Past, Inventories and Wills from the Parish of Ingleton 1548 to 1700", is now available to download. The publication was edited by Carol Howard and Sheila Gordon, with the help of a team of transcribers from the IAG. Click here to access the material. 20 February 2017 |
Burton in Lonsdale Churchyard Project The results of the Burton in Lonsdale Churchyard Project can be seen here. The project involved mapping the 'Very Old and Separate Churchyard': to aid the local Parish Council and to make the information available to genealogists. IAG also took the opportunity of using this project to train members in basic surveying techniques. 12 January 2017 |
Long Preston Big Dig The Long Preston Big Dig Project is coming to a close and an exhibition is being arranged for Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 March 2017. The event will be held in Long Preston Village Hall, open from 10am to 4pm on both days. More details here. 12 January 2017 |
New details on the Malham Chapel Dig 2017 One of the items on this year's Practical Activities list is a 'Possible Excavation', some time in July. David Johnson has now revealed that the dig will be in Malham, addressing some of the questions relating to the St Helen's Chapel site. More details here. 6 January 2017 |

Visit to Stydd and Ribchester On 8 September, a small but select band of colleagues visited the Stydd and Ribchester. At Stydd, John Cuthbert led the group to view the Grade I listed St Saviour's Church, the Grade II listed Almshouse, plus a long distance view of an unusual Roman Catholic 'Barn Church'. The first record of St Saviour's is at 1136, and is reputed to lie above buildings of an earlier date. An excavation by staff and students from Stonyhurst College found the footings of a building with rounded bays like an apse. Unable to come to any conclusions as to whether it was Roman or an early Christian basilica, they covered it up again. They left some plans which were used in the 1970's by a team led by Ben Edwards, the County Archaeologist. Sadly, the plans were not at all accurate and Ben's team were unable to locate the remains. Those of us who were part of the Chapel Fell excavation will recognise the situation. Patrick Tostevin (pictured right), the curator of Ribchester Museum, gave an excellent overview of the history of the museum, a explanation of the Roman camp at Ribshester, plus a more detailed look at the excavations of the camp granaries just outside the Museum. He recounted that at one time during the history of the Museum, the trustees had to decide whether to become part of the local authority's museum provision, or to become a stand-alone charitable trust. The status of charitable trust was chosen by a single vote. If the decision had gone the other way, it's possible this excellent little museum would soon be closed, alongside 50% of the local authority's museum provision. Thanks to Dianne for the pictures. 8 September 2016 |

Surveying at Scales Moor Wednesday 31 August 2016 Yvonne Luke led a hardy group of IAG colleagues in further tape and offset surveys of two neolithic burial cairns on Scales Moor. Poor weather did not deter us, but the loss of car keys at the end of the day did cause one of our party some consternation. 31 August 2016 |
Overground Underground – The Festival of the Ingleborough Dales http://www.ogug.co.uk/ The Group ran three guided walks this Saturday for visitors to the Overground Underground Festival walk at Gauber - one for the Pendle Heritage Group and two for the general public. The walk visited the 'Viking' settlement at Gauber, plus a visit to a Bronze Age burial cairn. Although the settlement is regularly recorded as being of Viking origin, the reason we have put the word 'Viking' in quotes is because there is no scientific evidence for it belonging to that period. The remains of a building at Gauber may be long and slim, with a low, stone wall, but the only dating evidence (coins found when the site was excavated in the mid 1970s) gave a period before the Vikings appeared in the Dales. Visitors were also treated to a display of work done and finds recovered by the Group. 13 August 2016 |
Surveying at Scales Moor Wednesday 3 August 2016 Yvonne Luke led a select band of IAG colleagues in a tape and offset survey of a proposed neolithic burial cairn on Scales Moor. This is the first round of surveys, with more cairns to measure, and geophysics and Total Station surveys to follow. This combined investigation should give Yvonne sufficient evidence to decide whether or not a formal excavation is warranted at some stage in the future. 4 August 2016 |
Hot off the press Inventories and Wills from the Parish of Ingleton 1700 - 1750 This IAG supplement to the "Voices fom the Past" is now available in pdf and hard copy. Click here for the pdf version or see the Secretary at the next meeting in Ingleton for a personal hard copy (£10). 28 July 2016 |
IAG Exhibition Catch up on the work of the Group by visiting the IAG Exhibition at the Ingleton Community Centre. Free entrance to the display of photographs, finds, artefacts and survey work done by the IAG. Tuesday 19 July to Sunday 31 July Ingleborough Community Centre Open 1000 to 1630 Part of the Overground Underground Festival and the CBA Festival of Archaeology 19 July 2016 |
Visit to Greenside Mine A splendid time was had by IAG members visiting Greenside Mine in Glenridding. Warren Allison led a walk around the external remains of the mine, showing how it had developed from the 1820s up until its demise in the 1960s. We were lucky with excellent weather, but the real treat was the knowledge and enthusiasm of the guide. 17 July 2016 |
Visit to Clapham Bottoms David Johnson led a group of IAG colleagues across Clapham Bottoms. He showed us features - most likely to be medieval - surveyed earlier in 2008 and 2012. More details here. 17 July 2016 |
The Chapel Fell excavation finishes The dig at Chapel Fell finished on Friday 27 May 2016. A great fortnight was had by all participants, and we eagerly await the formal report from Dr David Johnson in due course. If you're too impatient to wait, the informal diary is available here. 29 May 2016 |

Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Reforms: towards Integrated working Nottinghamshire Pathfinder Project Team January 2014
The presentation aims to cover Experience of the Nottinghamshire pathfinder Reflections and learning that may be useful to voluntary sector colleagues
Case study: Why change? A more integrated approach will benefit children and families Worst month ever was Dec 2009 – 24 appointments in 17 days - etched on their memory forever! 35 services are currently involved, with six monthly reviews, some more often Attending 6-12 appointments a month (each can be up to ½ a day out of school) Attending 6-12 appointments a month (each can be up to ½ a day out of school) Over 50 services have supported her since she was born 11 year old girl and her family
Nottinghamshire's Education, Health & Care Plan Pathway
Pathway Step 1: The Local offer Nottinghamshire are developing a multi media approach to information provision about services/ resources for use by families & services with:- an integrated website is now in place building on family services directory for all services to input and to access information. a mobile phone 'app' version is available access to face to face support through key working/ family supporters. Involvement of parents/ carers & other key stakeholders in development, updates and review.
Pathway Step 2: Referral Referrals are accepted from anyone……. parents young people professionals involved with the child or young person They are submitted to the Multi-agency/ integrated Hub The referral process seeks information about: parental responsibility the child or young person's needs the reason for the request which services/agencies are already involved whether a CAF is already in place
Eligibility criteria for an Education, Health & Care plan in Nottinghamshire An integrated assessment & plan may be needed for a child/ young person with SEN & disabilities aged 0 to 25 with needs over & above those met at universal/targeted level, such as:- Severe/ complex long term needs affecting everyday life requiring provision & resources not normally available requiring intensive help & support from more than one agency making limited or no progress despite high levels of support are above statutory school age with evidence of a graduated response (appropriate interventions, support & resources, available through the Local Offer, have already been put in place.)
Timeline Stage 2 Referral Stage 4 My Plan 20 weeks maximum 4 weeks max 6 weeks max 2 weeks max 4 weeks max Decision Gather all information Multi Agency Meeting Proposed EHC Consult with parents Issue Final Allocate Resources and Budget Collect professional reports, 'All about me' Wiki pilot Prepare for MAM, Populate template Consider outcome of MAM and produce draft Amend and finalise Stage 3 My Story
SEND Hub All About Me Multi- Agency meeting Education All About Me Multi- Agency meeting Health All About Me Multi- Agency meeting Children's Social Care All About Me Multi- Agency meeting Adult Social Care All About Me Multi- Agency meeting Voluntary & Community Sector Hub and spoke delivery model- linking services
Integrated Hub structure
An Integrated Hub Hub manager Hub Commissioners from Education Health Children's social care Adult Social Care: Post 16: Plan coordinators: 3 teams covering North, central and south (District placement assessment team plus relevant others TBC)
Parent/ family involvement Parent Partnership Hub Parents working with central pathfinder team Detailed person centred case studies used to support training and illustrate need for change Voluntary sector involvement in development and implementation of pathway e.g. A Place To Call Our Own- APTCOO
Pathway Step 3- Gathering information for the plan: "My Story" Each family will be allocated a worker in the hub and spoke. Both have a role in developing the plan Hub: Plan coordinator to draw the plan together Spoke: Family supporter, identified in agreement with the family from one of the services closely involved, fulfilling key working responsibilities. They will know the family well & will help gather person centred information 'All about me' to support EHC planning
Step 4: Gather information for 'My plan' The 'All about me' information gathered by family supporter is shared at the multi agency meeting. This information includes: ① Relationship circle ② Working/ not working ③ Like and admire ④ One page profile. ⑤ What is important to maintain a child/ young person's health, safety and wellbeing. Some children/ young people and families are also piloting a 'Wiki' which also holds this information
Making 'My Story' interactive
Background: Wiki Research with collaboration agreement in place with University of East London Easy-build web site platform (Klik In) being piloted to create personalised 'wikis'with multi media technology to help tell a child/ young person's story Multi perspective understanding quickly gained through photos, video, documents, text and web links Piloting 'wikis' with some children and young adults Evaluation will be undertaken across the control groups to inform our next steps Any services can access the 'Wiki' with family's permission
Why a wiki supports integrated working... Reduce the times families explain their story Reflects a whole day and not just the part of it that most professionals are likely to see Shows simple techniques used to fit equipment or ways to help with activities or encourage independence e.g. positioning Shows all those supporting a child an insight into their life Useful source of family held information for all services providing care or support

WORKINGNOT WORKING BUGGY: Buggy is really great & helps us get out and about.Will soon outgrow current buggy & readjustment is needed. BOOTS/ SPLINTS: B oots/ splints are fine. Understand ongoing arrangements for follow up/ ongoing support with Orthotics dept. The toes on left foot are overlapping, middle toe nail is growing in a 'V'shape and is sharp and difficult to cut. MOVING AND HANDLING: Building work is underway on new downstairs extension (bedroom/ bathroom), which will help with moving and handling (no stairs to climb) and allow better facilities for short break support. Builder has recently been changed & progress is now being made. Extension work has been fraught with problems and delays. Home hoist has been playing up. A sling assessment is required when the hoist is functional (OT aware) Out family have never had moving and handling training. Transferring in & out of the car is becoming more challenging. This needs consideration when motability vehicle is changed, Car seat will soon need adjusting. SHORT BREAK SUPPORT: Carin4Families overnight short breaks very helpful, the staff are really fantastic and allow Mum to catch up on some much needed sleep. Assessment has been made for contract care (24 nights away from home a year) but no family yet identified 3 hour short breaks shifts don't allow sufficient time to do anything really meaningful with sister, Lily. Hannah's is easily disturbed at night. She does not always settle back to sleep if disturbed. She is always best left to sleep and only disturbed when absolutely necessary i.e. when responding to alarm, coughing or settling Hannah if distressed. Still waiting to find a family for 'out of home' short breaks on a regular basis, for the next few years. ENT ( Ear, nose and throat)Sleep apnoea continues. Date set for ENT review
WORKINGNOT WORKING DENTAL SUPPORT: Hannah goes to the family dentist H hates having her teeth brushed. We need to find the best ways protect her teeth? SUPPORT AT SCHOOL: Support at school is absolutely brilliant. Teaching Assistant Fabulous. It is difficult for Mum to work, due to taking to school late on many mornings. There is no 'back up plan' in place for days off school due to ill health, other than grandparents, if they are free. A long term solution would be useful. CLEANING: Cleaning help creates time for the family It would be great if short breaks service could help with small tasks in the home to support life at home e.g. ironing LE ISURE/ HOLIDAYS: Enjoy any opportunities to socialise as a family and love going away on holiday. H loves being entertained. She enjoys going out in her buggy on dog walks, playing with stickle bricks and swinging on her swing H has a keen sense of humour and fun. We would like to have a holiday away with friends, but due to high support needs we have not found a way to make this possible. 'Ad hoc' babysitting for both girls together is difficult to organise. We rely heavily on grandparents. This will get more difficult in the future. This excludes us from some of the social activities we would like to join in with. Finding leisure activities that we can take part in as a family can prove very challenging. There are probably leisure facilities that we do not know about. Any help / ideas would be welcomed. Finding leisure activities for to help H develop, learn and keep her body and mind active is challenging, especially in the school holidays. COMMUNICATION: H can communicate, if she spoken to clearly/ slowly, face to face and given time to process questions or instructions (see communication chart). The spoken word can be successfully backed up with the use of signing, pictures and Makaton symbols. It would be useful to explore if there any further communication aids that could be used at home. H sometimes grabs and pulls and this can sometimes hurt those looking after her. How do we manage this safely and understand what Holly is trying to tell us? It has been suggested there is a possible diagnosis of 'Autistic Spectrum disorder'. This need to be considered further to ensure H is receiving the correct help and support to assist communication & learning
Pathway Step 5: An integrated budget There are a number of different options being tested, depending upon level of responsibility a family wishes to take. These include: Direct Payment Individual Service Fund Independent Third Party There will be a phased introduction. This will be supported by the Plan Coordinators and may require some independent support from a brokerage service.
Step 4 & 7: Multi-agency meetings/ Review Once 'Like and admire' & 'what is working/ what could be improved' are shared, outcomes are identified for the Education, Health and Care Plan. The actions required to achieve the outcomes are agreed, along with the budget. This is progressed at an initial facilitated Multi agency meeting, attended by key services involved Timescales for further reviews/ multi agency meetings are agreed as the EHC plan is put in place Many reviews have been run as person- centred meetings using a 'working/ not working' and other such approaches/ conversations.
Learning/ Reflections so far…….. Babies, children and young people with complex needs generally have very complex arrangements in place to support them. Working in a more streamlined/ integrated way is a challenge for all involved! Integrated teams may well develop to support the EHC pathway and process. Voluntary sector services need to be linked in. Person centred tools/ conversations have worked well with services in many different settings, including voluntary sector. Case studies are a useful & powerful resource to help make the case for change, demonstrating unique input of each service & showing where support could be more integrated or 'joined up.' Families/ young people who have tested the Wiki to date like to be empowered, holding and developing information themselves and choosing who they wish to share it with.
Thank you for your attention The end

A powerful earthquake rattled southern Indonesia on Wednesday, killing at least 32 people crushed by falling rock or collapsed buildings and sending thousands fleeing outdoors for safety in the middle of a working day. Hospitals quickly filled with scores of injured people after the magnitude 7.0 quake struck off the southern coast of the main island of Java, where most of Indonesia's 235 million people live. The death toll was expected to rise.
"The earthquake was shaking everything in my house very strongly for almost a minute," said Heni Maryani, a resident in the town of Sukabumi. "I grabbed my children and ran out, I saw people were in panic, women were screaming and children were crying." Disaster officials said hundreds of homes and buildings had collapsed or were severely damaged in three districts in densely populated West Java.
The worst report of fatalities was from a village in Cianjur district, where about 30 people were still believed trapped under rocks and dirt, the official Antara news agency reported.
A tsunami warning was issued after the quake struck at 2:55 pm (0755 GMT, 3:55 a.m. EDT), but revoked an hour later. Muharaham Ardan, a university lecturer in the town of Tasikmalaya, about 70 miles (115 kilometers) from the epicenter, said it was the biggest quake he had ever felt.
"We all ran out in panic, we didn't even put our sandals on," he said. "The neighbors were shouting: 'Get out of the house! Get out of the house!"'
Social Affairs Ministry official Mardi said more than 700 houses and buildings were badly damaged and at least 32 people had died. The disaster management agency reported deaths in the districts of Cianjur, Tasikmalaya and Sukabumi in West Java.
Antara reported that 12 families, or about 30 people, were trapped in houses buried by the landslide.
