1 Unexplained Mysteries
2 Leap of Faith §Spontaneous generation - that life arose from non-living things, intelligence from non-intelligence ? Is it reasonable to ask that one believes this can happen, and to take it as a scientific fact, without scientific proof? §Spontaneous generation occurred only once in the history of the universe ? Why only once in all these billions of years?
3 Leap of Faith §Natural selection ensures survival of a species - God's law for preservation ? But never has natural selection been observed where one species evolved into another. Why? §The link between man and apes still missing ? Why still missing after all these years? Looks like it never existed in the first place? è Requires more faith than believing in the Creation account!
4 im-Probabilities
5 Appreciating Orders of Probability #Probability for CoinsProbability for Dice 38216 1010 3 6 x 10 7 2010 6 4 x 10 15 10010 30 7 x 10 77 Order of Probability# of Coins# of Dice 10 50 16765 10 110 366142 10 260 865335
6 Appreciation of Large Numbers §Distance across the universe in centimetres: 10 26 §Weight of the universe in tons: 10 49 §Number of grains of dust in the Milky Way: 10 53 §Number of protons, neutrons and electrons in the whole universe: 10 80 Yet, above numbers are small when compared with probabilities in evolution!
7 The Lower Limits Borel's Basic Law of Chance, Corollary 3: "Any cosmic event whose probability of occurrence is less than 1 chance in 10 50 can never happen, regardless of the time allowed for the event to take place or the number of opportunities for the event to take place." (Emile Borel, "Probabilities and Life", 1962) Hence, lower limit of probability for events to be possible is 1 in 10 50
8 The Lower Limits Astrophysics Particle-Event Law Maximum number of microscopic particles within the universe is 10 80 Universe is no older than 30 billion years old Hence, maximum total of trials that could possibly occur in the history of the universe is 10 110 Any event whose probability of occurrence is less than 1 chance in 10 110 cannot occur in the universe. (Henry Morris, Impact No. 73, 1979)
9 Chance of Spontaneous Generation §Probability of a single living cell arising spontaneously (abiogenesis) calculated over and over again by scientists §Unable to come up with a probability which falls above Borel's limit! §Sir Fred Hoyle, astronomer and physicist, calculated this to be 1 in 10 40,000, far smaller than the lower limits of probable events §Recent computation puts this at 1 in 10 1,000 - still significantly below Borel's limit
10 Chance of Spontaneous Generation Hence, the supposed spontaneous origin of life is an impossibility! Probability considerations played a large role in changing Hoyle's belief from a purely evolutionary origin of life to believing in a Creator. (Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe, "Evolution from Space", 1981)
11 Probability of Protein Synthesis §Computed by Francis Crick, a non-creationist who shared the Nobel Prize in 1962 with James Watson and Maurice Wilkins for their discovery of the molecular structure of the DNA ("Life Itself, its origin and nature", 1981) §Consider a protein with 200 amino acids (less than what the average protein has) l Molecular construction of a cell require amino acids to be strung in correct order l Normally a complicated biochemical process, using instructions from the RNA - not a random process!
12 Probability of Protein Synthesis §Probability that the correct order of amino acids is formed is 1 in 10 260 - again below the Borel limit l Estimated number of fundamental particles in the entire Universe is only 10 80 ! §Probability would be much worse for longer proteins §Consider for the many possible proteins - can a particular amino acid sequence be selected by chance? Impossible
13 The Wonders of the Human Body
14 §Ernst Heinrich Haeckel's theory (1834-1919) l A German biologist and philosopher l Dubbed "the apostle of Darwinism in Germany" l Self-taught knowledge in embryology §Claimed that successive stages of individual embryonic development repeat the evolutionary stages of one's animal ancestry l Claimed human embryo shows that man descended from the fish, the reptile, and the monkey Embryonic Recapitulation
15 Vestiges of Human Ancestors Human Ancestry "Yolk Sac" "Tail" "Gill Slits"
16 Now a Defunct Theory §"It is now firmly established that ontogeny does not repeat phylogeny" (George Gaylord Simpson, famed Harvard evolutionist, An Introduction to Biology, 1957) §None are vestigial; all have functional purposes l "Yolk-sac" – blood forming sac supplying first blood before formation of bone marrow l "Gill slits" – throat pouches that develop into lower jaw, tongue, thymus gland, middle ear, etc l "Tail (coccyx)" – muscle attachment for upright posture
17 Vestiges of Defunct Theory §Darwin said that embryological evidence was "second to none in importance" §Once termed "the fundamental biogenetic law" §Hence, still quite frequently used and quoted as "proof" of the accuracy of the theory of evolution in modern writings (eg Isaac Asimov, The Genesis War, 1981) §But, not only rejected by evolutionists, also turned out this was......
18.... nothing but a bad hoax §Haeckel had passion for promoting the recapitulation theory §Faked some of his evidence l Altered his illustrations of embryos l Printed the same plate of an embryo three times, and labeled one a human, the second a dog and the third a rabbit "to show their similarity" l Went so far as to alter pictures of embryos drawn by others
19 A Bad Hoax §Exposed by professor L. Rutimeyer of Basle University. §Charged with fraud by five professors, and ultimately convicted in a university court §During trial, Haeckel admitted that he had altered his drawings, but interesting what he said in his own defence:
20 A Bad Hoax "I should feel utterly condemned and annihilated by the admission, were it not that hundreds of the best observers and biologists lie under the same charge. The great majority of all morphological, anatomical, histological, and embryological diagrams are not true to nature, but are more or less doctored, schematized and reconstructed."
21 Common Sense Test The "image of God" contains several features of awesome beauty and highly sophisticated and ingenious design. §Can a thing of beauty result from disorder? §Can these evolve – naturally – from the lower life forms? §Can these just happen? Above violates not just the common sense test but against scientific observations in nature – 2 nd law of thermodynamics
22 DNA §Huge amount of information contained in human DNA l Instructions for building the material of life l DNA in genes from one human cell contains a billion bio-chemical steps l If all DNA in a human were placed end-to-end it would reach the sun and back 400 times §Highly complex - molecules can unite in 10 2,400,000,000 ways §Ingenious algorithm to compress all that information
23 The Human Genome Human Genome Project §15 year international project since 1990 to map the "letters" (molecular structure) of the human genetic code in the DNA in the 23 pairs of human chromosomes l Race between US government led project and privately funded project §Important applications in the field of genetics and medicine l But also possible abuses
24 The Human Genome §3.4 billion "letters" in ~80,000 genes in the human genome to be decoded l Identifying all the letters in the genome very near completion (Time, April 17, 2000) §Only Chromosome 22 has been fully decoded by Dec 99 – first to be deciphered because of its small size §Expect another 50 years before can fully de- code all the chromosomes of the genome
25 Chromosome 22 §Close to 700 genes with 200-300 additional ones likely to be identified §Gene size vary from 1,000 to 583,000 bases of DNA – average 190,000 §34 million letters in the DNA sequence in this! §Yet 11 gaps could not be deciphered because of limitations in current technology! §A number of unexpected findings including even more complexity with repeat sequences of DNA
26 Im-Probability of Evolution §Laws of mathematical probability rule out that the DNA, or the gene, or the human chromosome, or the human genome can possibly evolve randomly §Neither can such complex ingenious design simply "happen"
27 Cells §Human body has 100 trillion cells l All the cells in the human body lined up side-by-side would encircle the earth 200 times. §Each cell contains enough information to fill 10 million volumes. §Probability of a single bacteria evolving calculated by Yale physicist Harold Morowitz to be 1 in 10 100,000,000,000 ! Yet another impossibility! Let alone the different types of sophisticated human cells.
28 The Eye §The human eye can handle 1.5 million simultaneous messages. §In a day, the eye moves 100,000 times l The body would have to walk 50 miles to exercise the leg muscles at an equal amount. §137 million nerve endings pick up every message the eye sends to the brain.
29 The Eye "To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest sense." (Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species)
30 The Heart §The human heart beats about 40 million times a year §In a lifetime, the heart will pump 600,000 metric tons of blood §All veins, arteries and capillaries lined end- to-end would travel 80,000 miles. §The entire circulatory system can be serviced in 20 seconds
31 The Brain §The brain has 10 billion circuits, each one being 5-10 times more complex than any computer ever built §Has a memory of 10 21 bits with information capacity of nearly 20 million books l A machine matching the human brain in memory capacity would consume enough electrical energy at the rate of 1 billion watts – it would cost $10 billion and fill the Empire State Building. §Science cannot explain consciousness in the brain
32 Probability of Man's Evolution §Probability for the evolution of man calculated by Carl Sagan to be 1 in 10 2,000,000,000 §Mathematics clearly stand against the "fact" of spontaneous generation and the evolution of higher life forms So why does atheism still persist?
33 An im-Probability "The more statistically improbable a thing is, the less we can believe that it just happened by blind chance. Superficially, the obvious alternative to chance is an intelligent Designer." (Richard Dawkins, Professor of Zoology, Oxford University, atheist) That paradigm issue, again
34 More Unexplained Mysteries
35 The Bombardier Beetle §Drives away enemies by squirting very hot (higher than 100 o C) liquid with very bad smell l Body contains hydrogen peroxide dissolved in water, and hydroquinine l Adds inhibitor to prevent reaction inside body l When faced by its enemy, chemicals are mixed in a combustion chamber l Adds catalysts to start reaction and produce quinine - bad smell - and heat l Then it opens its valve and squirts at the enemy
36 The Bombardier Beetle §How in the evolution path did the B/Beetle know what chemical is needed as the inhibitor and what as the catalyst? Cannot be by trial and error §Cannot be explained by Darwinism §Many other species that have unique capabilities - all cannot be accounted for by Darwinism ?
37 The Archer Fish §Feeds on bugs by aiming and spitting at them from under the water §Able to spit with great accuracy §Problem: from under the water, light is refracted (bent) §How did this fish evolve its senses to be so skillful to compensate for the refraction? - No room for trial and error to evolve!
38 Other Unique Creatures §The giraffe l Long neck presents special difficulties for heart to keep right blood pressure to the brain -especially when the giraffe lowers its neck §The bat l How did this blind creature come to possess its highly accurate sonic radar? §Others l The kangaroo's reproductive system l Migratory patterns of birds and other animals l Cooling system of the gazelle
39 Symbiosis §Greek word meaning "life together" §"Any mutually beneficial association between two or more dissimilar organisms" §Example: The sea anemone protects the clown fish which is protected from its sting. The clown fish attracts predators to the anemone which stings them and feeds on them.
40 Symbiosis More Examples §The mimosa girdler (a beetle) and the mimosa tree l The insect prunes the tree branches and allows it to scatter its eggs while the pruning enables the tree to live to 40-50 years §The Large Blue Butterfly and the Red Ants l The ants feed the caterpillar with their larvae while milking it of a sweet fluid - without the larvae the caterpillar remains a caterpillar!
41 Symbiosis §Even more examples: l The honeypod ants and aphids l Figs and wasps l Devilfish and Portuguese man-of-war l Leave bug ad bacteria l Cleaning symbioses to keep free of parasites and fungi §Darwinism would have required both species to evolve in tandem. But if evolution in random, how can this happen?
42 The Atheist's Blind Spot
43 The Atheist Response Darwinism defies logic and reason §Yet, in spite of recent findings invalidating Darwinism, the atheist paradigm continues to be stubbornly held §One possible rationalisation may be the "Barrow & Tipler" type of response: l "So what? That's just how things happen to be. No need for surprises. No need to explain." l That's how the river flows
44 The Atheist Blind Spot But we need to be amazed: §Cannot explain the origin or the mechanics l Life from non-life, intelligence from non- intelligence l As with some creatures, cannot explain the sequence by which they acquired their unique characteristics (eg the bombardier beetle)
45 The Atheist's Blind Spot §Cannot explain order and design l Randomness cannot produce any order on any appreciable scale l Design never arises out of chaos l Not simple designs but highly complex and ingenious design – look at the Human Genome l Cannot explain the huge gap between man and the next most intelligent creature
46 The Atheist's Blind Spot §Mechanism can never explain beauty l "Why are there flowers?", Immanuel Kant, 18th century German philosopher Above are intuitive and yet consistent with observations in nature – and verified by recent scientific discoveries To deny them is to choose the atheist paradigm by blind faith

Celebrities of Gemer Štefan Sokoly Štefan Sokoly Pavol Jozef Šafárik Pavol Jozef Šafárik Pavol Dobšinský Pavol Dobšinský
Štefan Sokoly We want to introduce the powerlifter Stefan Sokoly, and recorded his significant achievements in Slovakia and abroad. Sporting career began under the leadership of his father in football, in athletics /he was the junior of Slovakia. The dynamics of both sports succeeded in strengthening the power. He has remained in powerlifting, and built a career of one of the most successful athletes not only in Gemer, but in Slovakia and he is one of the most successful powerlifter nowadays. The first success he achieved after two months of an intensive training at the SR Championship in 1995, being among the best four. 1998 was a breakthrough, since from that year Števo Sokoly has been a holder of the title European Champion, 11 years continuously in 3-phase weight categories. In June 2008 in Latvia, he earned a Master of Europe, defeating an excellent competitor from Russia Šarapov.
Štefan Sokoly In October 2008, at The World Competition in England, Stefan Sokoly earned the title of The Master of Europe, lifting 872.5 kilograms, defeating the English competitor.
Štefan Sokoly In April 2009 at Championship of Slovakia he broke the Slovak records: pressure - 216 kg and a dead pull - 315 kg. In May 2009 European Championship, he defended his title of The European Champion. His future goal is to be the best and lift 900 kilograms, which would overcome the world record. His final thought, to the followers is: "if the dream of a childhood, if getting a gold medal, if you are the best in the world, it takes just a little time more, to get it and to hold it at the highest winner step. " GOOD LUCK IN YOUR FUTURE CAREER!
Pavol Jozef Šafárik His spent his childhood in the region of Kobeliarovo (situated in northern Gemer ) characterized by attractive nature and rich Slovak culture. He gained his basic education from his father. By the age of eight, he had read the whole Bible twice. In 1805-1808 Šafárik studied at a "lower gymnasium"in Rožňava, where he learned Latin, German and Hungarian. Since he did not have enough money to finance his studies, he continued his studies in Dobšiná (Dobsina) for two years, because he could live there with his sister. Since the school in Rožňava specialized in Hungarian and the school in Dobšiná in German, and Šafárik was an excellent student and both schools had a good reputation, his successful career were fulfilled as early as at the age of 15. In 1810 - 1814 he studied at the "lyceum" of Kežmarok. He graduated from: philosophy, Latin style, history of the Kingdom of Hungary, politics and law, theology and medicine. Since this was a largely German school, he was able to get a scholarship for a university in Germany. His first bigger production was a volume of poems entitled The Muse of Tatras with a Slavonic Lyre published in 1814. The poems were written in the old-fashioned Slovak and some from the Polish language.
Pavol Jozef Šafárik
Pavol Dobšinský Pavol Dobšinský, a Slovak Evangelical priest, a member of the young Slovak national-awakening generation, a translator, a publicist and a folklorist was born on March 16, 1828 in Slavošovce, in what is present-day Slovakia. He attended junior high school in the town of Rožňava in what is now Slovakia and in Miskolc in Hungary. After the revolution of 1848 he acted as a secretary with Samuel Reuss in Revúca and then he was a chaplain with Ján Chalupka in Brezno. In 1855 he changed this position and was working at the parish in Bystré for three years.

Others think any war is bad for people (especially innocents) in general...and for the most part they are correct. Well, this is far from over. What you saw today was simply a Middle East political ploy. The folks in that region do things a bit differently than we (the west) do. As westernized as Israel is they must think and act politically as their "enemies" do. There it is all about saving face and of course losing face. Israel knows very well how to play the diplomatic game, the Israelis are survivors in the region because they always put some sort of a twist into the cease fire requirements. I think that the twist here will allow the 3rd world terrorists to gather enough rope to hang themselves, throw the rope over the branch and place their necks in the noose. Israel will be there to give the rope a jerk at the appropriate time and when they do [b][color=red]world public opinion will be more on their side[/color][/b]. The ME idea of diplomacy evolves at a much slower pace than here so we kinda need to operate at their pace because they sure in the hell ain't gonna speed up just because we need instant gratification. This situation continues to evolve...watch.

Original Message
In continuation of a series of years of World at War,THIS IS A SPECIAL EDITION BASED UPON URGENT PENDING MATTERS, the following was the 2011 thread.
Thread: The World at War, Official 2011 war thread for North Korea, Iran, Israel, China, U.S.
The following is the 2012 Thread up to the end of August.
Thread: World at War, Official 2012 Thread for Israel, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, PA, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, India, North Korea, Russia, China, U.S.
Now we enter into the last four months of 2012. Follow the past year to see where we are at. I try not to give much BS and only ask that if you do not care for the topic or format, do not visit this thread.
Trolls, you will be deleted or blocked, you can start your own thread if you wish, just leave us alone!
As stated at the start of 2012, 2012 will be the start of much chaos economically as well as militarily. We have gone through much doom and gloom already. But now, it is of urgency that we wait to see whether Iran goes nuclear, whether Israel takes it upon herself to attack Iran, whether the US leaves Israel to fend for herself, what the results of the US election have in store for Israel, the Mideast and the US, and what will happen in Syria.
Israel must face the challenge of a nuclear Iran with or without the U.S. to protect her. Further, Syria feels threatened as did Libya where Assad may lash out at Israel. The Hezbollah may too jump on in. Lebanon and Jordan may face their own arab spring. Egypt may tear up the Israeli peace treaty any day. Turkey looks as Israel with jealousy for Israel's gas and oil reserves in the Med.
China and Russia wish to impose retrictions on America's once global dominance where there will be more challenges to U.S. interests leading to possible military blows.
North Korea's tender young leader has no fear in challenging U.S. might and may cause further military adventurism.
Pakistan has nukes that could be stolen and/or Pakistan and the U.S. may enter into more vis a vis hotile interactions.
Iran is threatening to challenge the west and is due for a nuclear detonation soon. What the U.S./and or Israel do to stop Iran is worthy of watching every day.
Iraq is now under Iran's thumb and likely will further become a feifdom of Iran.
Afghanistan is soon to force the withdrawal of U.S. forces.
India and Pakistan may soon come to blows.
Will the global economic crisis resolve itself, will the crisis collapse the world economy, or whom may come forward with some new currency?
Further, spiritually, 2012 looks to be a year of turmoil.
There are seers warning of some type of sign from God this coming year. The Mayan's seemed to predict something. The Pope may flee Rome? A comet in the sky? Great earthquakes? Signs in the sky?
Look further at bug-outs or going grey, everyone should be prepping by now in case things really do go bad. I am just saying.
So, if you wish to discuss the above mentioned or wish to hear it from others, feel free to drop in and leave some good 5 stars if you find this inforomation either entertaining or productive.

N'Faly Kouyaté
?Jimi Hendrix of the kora.?
N'Faly was born in Guinea and now lives in Brussels, Belgium.
N'Faly's natural exuberance and big smile are larger than life. As one concert reviewer wrote, "N'Faly's smile and demeanor, not to mention the kora, lit the crowd up like a bong at a Grateful Dead show."
He plays the kora (a harp-lute), balafon (African xylophone) and standing n'goma drum - - all very old traditional instruments. The kora is the national symbol of culture for Gambia.
His mastery of the kora and dynamic showmanship on stage have led to his recognition as the "Jimi Hendrix of the kora?.
He is a descendant of the Griot storytellers of the Mandinka (West African Empire of Guinea, Mali and Gambia), the son of Konkoba Kabinet Kouyate of Siguiri in the Republic of Guinea.
Konkoba is a rare grade of griot, that was acquired by him through achieving difficult tests and gaining a perfect mastery of the secrets of life, composed of its deep occult secrets and also all of the magic of the Mandingue world.
Through N'Faly's success with the Afro Celt Sound System he has managed to get electricity supplied to the school in his village.
N'Faly has a CD out called "Kora Grooves" with his band Dunyakan.

This invention relates to liquid crystal display cells and more particularly to an improved construction and method of manufacture for such cells including the capability of coincident selection addressing within such a cell.
For many years it has been known that certain classes of liquid crystal compounds, primarily nematic materials (though cholesteric and smectic materials possess some of the same properties), have the property that when an electrical field of sufficient magnitude is impressed across them, the fluid becomes turbulent with its molecules having dipole moments at various angles. This results in a dynamic scattering of light applied to the crystal giving the normally transparent material an opaque appearance. In recent years, attempts have been made to utilize this property of liquid crystal materials for display purposes. Typical liquid crystal cells presently being utilized for this purpose consist of two parallel glass plates with a drop of liquid crystal material sandwiched between them. A thin conductive coating such as tin oxide, on the plates inside surfaces insure a uniform electric field across the cell. Polymeric spacers (Teflon or glass frit, for example) maintain the desired thickness for the active area, this thickness being between 6 and 25 microns. Electrodes attached to each glass place complete the fabrication.
The construction described above has a number of limitations. First, since the spacers are only along the edge of the cell, it is difficult to maintain uniform spacing between the plates for cells of any appreciable size. This effectively limits the size of liquid crystal cell which can be constructed, and, even for cells of moderate size the separation between the electrodes can vary appreciably leading to uneven illumination of the display. Additional separators placed in the cell would interfere with the capillary retention of the liquid crystal material between the plates. Problems such as those described above make it difficult and expensive to manufacture high-quality uniform liquid crystal cells.
One suggested application for liquid crystal displays has been as a substitute for cathode ray tubes (CRTs) particularly in alpha-numeric display applications. However, in order to achieve the character densities of CRT displays, utilizing a single cell for each index point of a character as is presently done, very small cells would be required. It is both difficult and expensive to fabricate cells of such size. A preferrable means of display would be to provide a cell with coincident selection capability so that a number of index points within the cell might be selectively excited. By making the resolution within each cell small enough, it may be possible to draw pictures, graphs, or any other desired configuration within a single cell or group of cells.
The potential difference, and thus the current, required to cause dynamic scattering to occur within a liquid crystal compound is a function of both the area and thickness of the compound. Thus, if the amount of liquid crystal compound within a liquid crystal cell could be reduced, the current drawn by the cell would likewise be reduced. A means for effecting such a reduction in liquid crystal material without adversely affecting the quality of the display would therefore be desirable.
Finally, a problem which has been primarily responsible for preventing liquid crystal displays from being more widely accepted has been the relatively poor contrast which has been obtainable in these cells. Thus, a need also exists for a means to improve the contrast within liquid crystal cells.
It is thus a primary object of this invention to provide an improved liquid crystal cell and a simplified method for the manufacture thereof.
A more specific object of this invention is to provide a method of manufacturing liquid crystal cells which yields cells of uniform liquid crystal thickness regardless of the cell size.
A further object of this invention is to provide a liquid crystal cell in which a large number of index points may be individually addressed by coincident selection.
Still another object of this invention is to provide a liquid crystal cell with lower current requirements without reducing either cell size or display quality.
A still further object of this invention is to provide a liquid crystal cell having an improved contrast ratio.
In accordance with these objects this invention provides a liquid crystal cell which includes first and second flat substrates or plates which are oriented parallel to each other. A means is provided for impressing a potential difference of selected magnitude between at least selected portions of the substrates. A strip of microglass paper such as TISSUGLAS (a trademark of Pallflex Products Corporation) impregnated with liquid crystal material is sandwiched between the substrates and a means is provided for sealing the edges around the strip. If coincident selection addressing is desired, a layer of variable resistance material is provided between the potential applying means for one of the substrates and the microglass paper. TISSUGLAS is a paper of uniform, matted, submicron borosilicate fibers of very low density having over 90% voids, and is available from Pallflex Products Corporation in thicknesses from 0.6 mil to 12 mils in rolls of any width up to 40 inches wide.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of preferred embodiments of the invention as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a front view and schematic block diagram of a liquid crystal cell of a first embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a cut-away perspective view of the liquid crystal cell of the first embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 3 is a front view and schematic block diagram of a liquid crystal cell of an alternative embodiment of the invention having coincident selection capability.
FIG. 4 is a cut-away perspective view of the liquid crystal cell shown in FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a flow diagram of a method of manufacturing the cells shown in FIGS. 1-4.
Referring first to FIG. 2, it is seen that a liquid crystal cell 10 for a first embodiment of the invention consists of a substrate 12, which may for example be a glass plate, with a conductive coating 14 deposited thereon. The coating 14 may be uniform over the surface of plate 12 and can be of a known conductive material such as aluminum. If the cell is to be back lighted, a transparent conductive coating, such as one of tin oxide, would be utilized. This coating would typically be relatively thin, its thickness being for example 0.05 mils. Electrical connection of a lead 16 to this coating may be made by standard printed circuit techniques. The lead 16 is connected to a source of ground potential.
A strip 18 of microglass paper, such as TISSUGLAS, forms the next layer of the cell, the strip of TISSUGLAS being saturated with a liquid crystal compound of, for example, the nematic type. The TISSUGLAS acts like a sponge to hold the liquid crystal material by capillary action. The thickness of the TISSUGLAS strip 18 is determined primarily by the thickness of liquid crystal required for effective display and would normally be about one-half mil. The final element of the display cell sandwich 10 is upper substrate 20 which substrate has conductive material 22 etched or deposited thereon in a predetermined pattern. Substrate 20 and conductive material 22 would be transparent regardless of whether the cell is front or back lighted. For the embodiment of the invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this pattern consists of seven strips which form a standard character matrix utilized to display numeric characters. Each conductive strip 22 has a lead 24 connected to it which lead is energized from a cell drive circuit 26. The drive circuit would typically include a character generator which receives inputs from a keyboard, a transmission line, or directly from a computer and, for most applications, the character output from the generator would be applied through a multiplexing switching network to a number of cells forming a display device. The particular nature of circuit 26 does not form part of the present invention and will therefore not be described further. The final element of cell 10 is a epoxy or glass frit fillet 28 which is applied around the outside of the cell to seal it.
In operation, a positive potential of, for example, 20-50 volts is selectively applied by circuit 26 to leads 24. The liquid crystal material impregnated in TISSUGLAS strip 18 under the conductive strips 22 which have a positive potential applied to them is subjected to a potential difference equal to this positive potential. The resulting changes in the dipole moments of the crystal material in these areas causes dynamic scattering of incident light in these areas giving these areas an opaque appearance. A character, such as for example the numeral 5 shown in FIG. 1, will thus be formed for display in the cell.
In the embodiment of the invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an area of the cell 10 which is to be displayed is selected by applying a potential of predetermined magnitude to an electrode positioned over the selected area. This is practical where the number of areas which are to be addressed within a single cell is relatively small. However, where the number of index points in a single cell is to be relatively large, addressing by coincident selection becomes desirable. FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate an embodiment of the invention wherein addressing by coincident selection is possible.
Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 4 and using like reference numbers for like elements in the two embodiments of the invention, it is seen that the cell 10' for this embodiment of the invention includes a substrate 12 on which is deposited or etched a plurality of parallel conductive strips 30. The number and width of these strips would vary with the application with five horizontal strips being shown by way of illustration in the figures. As with ground strip 14 in FIG. 1, the strips 30 could be of aluminum or some other conducting material and would be in the order of 0.01 mil thick. A key element in the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4 is a coating for layer 32 of a non-linear resistance material such as silicon carbide in a plastic binder which is deposited over the conductive strips 30. The material of layer 32 has the property of presenting a virtual open circuit to signals having a potential less than a predetermined voltage constant value Vc and of presenting uniform potential drop of Vc to signals having a potential exceeding Vc. The value V c required for this application will be discussed shortly. The thickness for non-linear resistance layer 32 would typically be about 1 mil. A strip of liquid-crystal impregnated microglass paper is laid over coating 32 and the cell 10' is completed by a substrate 20 having transparent conductive strips 34 deposited and/or etched on its underside. Strips 34 are oriented perpendicular to the strips 30 with their number and width again depending on application. Five strips have been shown for purposes of illustration. Strips 34 would be of the same material and thickness as strips 22 in FIG. 2. Electrical leads 36 and 38 are connected by standard printed circuit techniques to the strips 30 and 34 respectively with the leads 36 being connected to horizontal or X control gates 40 and the leads 38 being connected to vertical or Y control gates 42. X and Y selection logic 44 and 46 respectively are provided to selectively energize one X and one Y gate at any given time to apply a positive or negative potential respectively to the corresponding conductive strip.
In operation, assume that it is desired to cause the spot shown in FIG. 3 to be opaque. Under these conditions, logic 44 would apply a signal to enable the second of the gates 40 causing a positive potential to be applied to the second of the lines 36, and logic 46 would apply a signal to enable the fourth of the gates 42 permitting a negative signal to be applied to the corresponding fourth vertical line 38. For purposes of this discussion it will be assumed that 50 volts are required across the liquid crystal material in order to obtain sufficient dynamic scattering for high contrast display and that Vc for the non-linear resistance material of layer 32 is also 50 volts. Thus, if the positive and negative voltages on the lines 36 and 38 respectively are also 50 volts, most of this potential drop will be dissipated in the non-linear resistance layer at index points along a strip 30 or 34 where coincidence does not occur. However, at the intersection of two strips having signals applied to them, a 100 volt potential difference will exist. Since only 50 volts of this potential difference will appear across the non-linear resistance material the desired 50 volt potential will appear across the liquid crystal material resulting in dynamic scattering of light at the selected index point. Since the potential required to obtain optimum dynamic scattering in the liquid crystal material is a function of the thickness of the liquid crystal layer, the input potentials and Vc may be reduced by decreasing the thickness of the microglass paper layer. If the liquid crystal material is of the type having storage characteristics, or if a number of index points in a selected pattern are sequentially energized at a rate which is faster than the decay time of the liquid crystal material, a display having the selected pattern may be maintained in the cell.
The method of manufacturing liquid crystal display cells of the type described above will now be described with reference to the flow diagram of FIG. 5. The first step is to deposit, etch and/or otherwise form the desired conductive pattern on lower substrate 12. The electrical connections required to this substrate may also be made during this step. The desired conductive pattern for the upper substrate 20 is similarly formed. If a cell of the type shown in FIG. 4 is being formed, the next step is to deposit a layer of variable resistance material on the lower substrate utilizing standard printed circuit techniques such as screening or spraying. This step would, of course, be bypassed if a cell of the type shown in FIG. 2 is being fabricated. A strip of microglass paper such as TISSUGLAS, of proper size and thickness is then laid on the lower substrate and is impregnated with the liquid crystal material. The impregnating may be done by placing a capillary tube such as an eye-dropper filled with liquid crystal material on a surface of the microglass paper or a pinch seal input-glass to metal part and permitting the microglass paper to absorb as much of the liquid crystal material as it can. The upper substrate which has the desired conductive pattern formed on it is then laid on the impregnated microglass paper and the cell is sealed by spreading an epoxy material or glass frit seal around the edges of the cell. The epoxy material is air cured completing the assembly operation. If glass frit is used, it is sealed in the conventional way by local firing.
From the above it is apparent that the thickness of the liquid crystal material over the entire area of the cell is controlled by the thickness of the microglass paper strip which thickness may easily be controlled to be uniform over the entire area. Uniform thickness of liquid crystal material is thus assured. Further, the capillary retention of the liquid crystal material within the microglass paper is easily obtained as contrasted with the difficulty of achieving capillary retention between the glass plates in existing liquid crystal cell manufacturing. The manufacture of the cells is thus substantially simplified. Further, since a portion of the space between the plates is taken up by the microglass paper material the total amount of liquid crystal material required for a cell is reduced. As was indicated previously, this reduction in liquid crystal material results in a corresponding reduction in the current requirements of the cell. This reduces the cells power requirements and thus decreases the cost of operation. The microglass paper can be dyed a dark color to yield a dark surrounding which provides for higher contrast in the liquid crystal cell than is presently obtainable. Finally, a simple mechanism has been provided through the use of a non-linear resistance layer to permit coincident selection of index points within a liquid crystal cell thus permitting a higher density of index points than is presently obtainable.
While specific materials and dimensions have been indicated in the description above, it will be understood that these are provided by way of example only and that other materials or dimensions suitable for the intended functions may be utilized. Thus, while the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing and other changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Lowest temperatures in decades in parts of eastern Europe
BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) -- Authorities dug out stranded residents as heavy snow blanketed Eastern Europe Wednesday and people struggled with travel delays, power outages and subzero temperatures. Homeless people and migrants were among those most at risk.
The recent cold snap has now been blamed for at least 73 deaths, and seen the lowest temperatures for decades in some parts.
Poland, the country hit hardest by the deep freeze, reported two more deaths Wednesday as havoc spread to many countries across the region.
Greece's navy sent a ship to the island of Lesbos to house some 500 refugees and migrants. A medical association on the island said conditions at the main camp there were "inhuman," with migrants in tents exposed to freezing temperatures.
Rights group Amnesty International urged the European Union and the Greek government to move migrants from the Greek islands to the mainland and launched an online petition.
Swaths of northern and eastern Bulgaria were paralyzed by snowdrifts that blocked roads and left 117 towns and villages without electricity. The main highway linking the capital Sofia with the Black Sea port of Burgas was closed.
Bulgarian soldiers used heavy machinery to clear major roads, rescue stranded people and supply remote villages with food and water. The energy ministry said that it had turned down emergency requests for power from neighbors Greece and Turkey to avoid the possibility of having to ration electricity for domestic customers.
In Kosovo, police said a homeless man was found dead, apparently from hypothermia, the second cold-related fatality reported in that country. As temperatures plummeted to minus 25 Celsius (minus 13 Fahrenheit), there were power outages in many areas. Meteorologists said it was the coldest weather since 1963.
Snow continued to cut off communities in southern Albania where the death toll since the cold snap began stood at nine, most of them homeless people. Army helicopters and emergency authorities were distributing aid to remote mountain areas, while military and civil heavy vehicles helped clear snowbound roads.
In Romania, blizzards closed more than 130 roads and caused huge delays and cancellations on the railways.
Thousands of commuters rode the Bucharest subway, while others walked on the streets as snow piled high on the sidewalks. Several people were seen skiing.
In Serbia, where six deaths were blamed on the recent cold, authorities evacuated 130 snowbound residents. Dozens of vehicles rescued people stuck in snowdrifts. In Bosnia, authorities said four elderly people had died of hypothermia since Jan. 2
Moldova border police temporarily closed seven border crossing points with Ukraine because of heavy snowfall.
Schools were closed in the worst-affected areas of Serbia and Romania and also on the Greek island of Lesbos.
Monika Scislowska, in Warsaw, Poland; Jovana Gec in Belgrade, Serbia; Llazar Semini in Tirana, Albania; Derek Gatopoulos in Athens, Greece; Sabina Niksic in Sarajevo, Bosnia; Veselin Toshkov in Sofia, Bulgaria; and Dmitry Vlasov in Kiev, Ukraine, contributed to this report.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.
Got it!I have a 12 yr old daughter and need to file for child support. The father lives in another state. I need help with medical and dental. We have never been married and I tried once to file for child support but the attorney general told me they can't get his income because he lives in another state. So if I got custody first would they then be able to get his income?
As the mother you should have custody already. You also can try to start a child support proceeding and if necessary both states need to work together for collection and enforcement. How this goes will depend on the facts of your case.
Disclaimer: This email message in no way creates an attorney client relationship between Majeski Law, LLC and the recipient. Responses are general in nature and do not constitute legal advice. You should consult a lawyer regarding any specific legal matter.
If I send her to him to visit could he keep her and not send her back? That's what I'm scared of also.
YES!!!! You do not have custody by virtue of being the child's mother! You need to have an order in place.
Thank you.
You do not need to file for custody, but you should file a suit for paternity and hold support. Please consult a Family attorney in your local area. Many attorneys, like myself, give a free initial consult and can give you clearer guidance based on all the specific facts of your case. Take all documentation with you for review by any attorney you contact, you will get a better assessment of your possible options and outcomes
This answer is general information which does not establish any attorney-client relationship between the person asking a question and the person answering, or a duty to respond to ongoing questions; nor is it intended to replace competent legal assistance in the jurisdiction where the matter/issue arises or is before a Court.
You need to have an attorney file what's called a parentage action. This would establish paternity, custody, visitation and child support. An attorney who specializes in family law can easily take care of this for you. To establish his income we can request discovery or subpoena his work records. He is also required to provide his last 2 years tax returns an last 2 paytubs in accordance with Harris county local rules

PAAHE and Ranking CHE and PAAHE, developed the first ranking process in Albania. (October 2010 – June 2011) Main purpose: Giving information to prospective students: informed choice Information to academics in higher education institutions: Comparison and positioning, strengths and weaknesses Information for deans / rectors. Benchmarking, strengths and weaknesses Information for policy makers APAAL
CHE MODEL APAAL labour market, employability city, university students study outcome teachingresources research overall assessment (students, professors) internatio- nalisation DATA SOURCES 50 PAAHE External peer review experts survey Academic staff data (300 Full time academic staff of each HEI) Student data (7500 Student questionnaires for 2 & 3 year student of each program ). NOT VALID INFORMATION FOR THIS RANKING Program data (200 Survey for programmes involved in ranking) Faculty Data (55 Survey for each faculty of HEI University Data (33 University survey) Rank Groups top middle bottom Multi-dimensional ranking Field-based ranking
Selection of institutions Only 33 institutions fullfiled these criteria and participatein this proces (7 public universities, 26 private HEIs) Only 33 institutions fullfiled these criteria and participatein this proces (7 public universities, 26 private HEIs) Criteria for participation : 1.

Number of students per field > 15 5. Programmes have to be full time programmes 6. Different branches/campuses treated as separate units 4 Study Fields, 22 programs: 1.Law (3 programs) 2.Healthcare (3 programs) 3.Social sciences (6 programs) 4.Economy- business (10 programs)
Ranking 2011 Ranking was based on self declaration of data from HEIs PAAHEs staff collected data from HEIs (University data, faculty data, programs data, student data, staff data, APAALs experts data). In this process, participate 33 HEIs (universities, Higher educations schools, branches etc) in 4 field: 1-Social sciences, 2-nursing, 3-economy and law. In this fields study more than 65 % of Albanian students Are interviewed more than 7500 students, 100 rector and deans, about 3000 academic staff and more than 50 APAALs external experts. PAAHE s Statistics and Analyses Sector, was responsible for data collection and CHE for analyzing with our staff APAAL
Results Results of this process are made public on final report (July 2011- (http://www.ireg- observatory.org/pdf /Ranking_Albania_F inal_report_1307.p df)http://www.ireg- observatory.org/pdf /Ranking_Albania_F inal_report_1307.p df www.albranking.com www.aaal.edu.al APAAL
Problems and recommendations Big differences between HEIs: 100 students in small HEIs – 30000 students UT Most of private HEIs are new ( 3- 5 year old) Not all HEIs have institutional accreditation, not all programs are accredited Missing data for research & projects, graduate students, employability for many HEIs Low level of reliability of the data collected by questionnaires, (student survey, research, facilities etc) Insufficient knowledge from HEIs about the ranking Low credibility of HEIs to organizers (PAAHE / SAS) PAAHE / SAS had no proper infrastructure for the development of future processes APAAL
Recommendations CHE recommendations: Establishing a special ranking unit within APAAL separate from the accreditation staff. This is important to avoid misunderstandings about the different roles and functions of ranking and accreditation. Re-design of student survey – Design of a new student survey – Elements: US Survey of Student Engagement, Ranking of dimensions within faculties by students – New issues Feedback on indicators Feedback on data collection instruments Establishing of an advisory board which should be composed by members representing different stakeholders APAAL
SAS Recommendations… After analysis of the first ranking process from July to October 2011, Statistics and Analyses Sector recommended to PAAHE- MoES: Improvement of legal documentation in the context of ranking Institutional accreditation for all HEIs, accredited programs Information, consultation, discussions with all stakeholders and HEIs Collaboration with experts and stakeholders for development of some questionnaires Transparency and independence of the process at any stage Appropriate infrastructure (software, server, website for ranking) Sufficient financial support to SAS (financial support from the PAAHEs budget, registration fee in the process of ranking, fee per program, fee per student) APAAL
Improvements of ranking model SAS is based on CHE ranking Model. After 2 years of experience and work, we have design a new ranking model fully adapted to the context of higher education in Albania. The model uses a large number of questions, grouped according to the indicators of each study field. For qualitative or quantitative data, weight factors are used for analysing and processing in statistical data software. we designed new questionnaires for: institutional organization, academic staff (part time and full time), students, research – projects-publications, graduate students, We are based on Multi-dimensional ranking for different preferences, priorities and profiles The methodology of publication and giving results for prospective students is included with a web application module on website dedicated only for ranking (www.albranking.com) APAAL
Improvements on infrastructure Regulations and procedures for ranking processes We developed a software ( APAAL Management Software) dedicated for accreditation and ranking processes This program will manage all data from HEIs, questionnaires etc APAAL
Infrastructure Web & mobile application version of APAAL Management software Website dedicated for ranking process and publication of results www.albranking.com www.albranking.com On Line portal for PAAHE staff, surveys, importing data etc APAAL
Conclusions… After 2 year, staff of SAS and PAAHE, has the experience to develop the new ranking process in Albania for other study fields and programs This sector has the right infrastructure and support to continue in other ranking processes Database of HEIs, research, academic staff, students, alumni etc, is verified and now completed. We have the possibility to check the data declared by HEIs through questionnaires Institutions are now more sensitive to the importance that is ranking in informing of prospective students PAAHE will require collaborations with other international organizations in the field of ranking, especially with CHE APAAL
Acknowledgment … We thanks CHE (Center for Higher Education), Germany: For trainings of our staff For supporting us in all steps of the ranking process For methodology and documents, APAAL

Whether you plan to enjoy the recreation of Taos Mountain or the unique shops and dining on the plaza. This is the place to unwind and relax. Southwest elegance. There is really no other way to describe this private Taos home. You will receive an authentic Southwest mountain experience with 3 kiva fireplaces and soaring 12 foot authentic viga beamed ceilings; all professionally decorated in New Mexico-themed decor. This home also features a covered 800 ft. outdoor living space with incredible views, outdoor grilling and kiva fireplace; all next to a large outdoor hot tub. Without a doubt you will know you are in a Southwest mountain retreat but also surrounded by elegant luxury.

Secondhand Maternity Style - 27 Weeks..
Dress: Thrifted Shirt: Cotton On
Scarf: Market find Belt & Tights: Kmart
Boots: Rivers
Wow, the last few weeks have just flown by! I'm 27 weeks today and can't believe how fast my third trimester has come around. It's such an exciting time for us, as we begin to get settled into our little home, explore the area, meet with our new midwife and get started on some delightful nesting. I think the countdown is on!
The winter days here on the Sunshine Coast have almost been too lovely for scarves and boots, but a little wander to the beach in the late afternoon requires a few extra layers and I'm loving rediscovering my much loved brown boots and pashminas. Thank goodness for soft jersey fabric and my faithful chambray shirt which has become one of my must have maternity wardrobe staples. And to all the gorgeous mamas out there, what were your maternity staples? As I peer into my wardrobe and begin to get a bit creative with my everyday clothes, I'd love to hear what favourites got your through your third trimester.
Wishing you a beautiful week ahead! Have you got anything lovely planned? I'm packing my bag and taking a little weekend trip to Sydney on Friday and I am beyond excited! My dear friend Steph and I are off on an adventure to join Jodi, Gaby and Luisa on a fabulous day of wandering with the gorgeous and ever inspiring Pia Jane Bijkerk. It's sure to be an unforgettable celebration of everyday beauty.
Much Love
Maternity Style,
What I Wore
