The invention generally relates to an apparatus which is used with a moving vehicle to provide an alarm when a radar signal impinges on the vehicle. In particular, the invention relates to such an apparatus in which the alarm is responsive to both radar signals impinging on the vehicle and a signal representative of the speed of the vehicle.
Radar detectors are well known in the prior art. In general, such detectors generally provide an alarm indication when a radar signal is received. Recent developments in radar detectors have focused on the sensitivity of the detectors and the various bandwidths within which radar signals are detected. However, there is a continuing need to improve the accuracy of alarms provided by radar detectors.
Some recent developments have suggested using a radar detector in combination with a speed measuring device and printer for verifying vehicle speed. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,510,793, incorporated herein by reference, discloses such a system which enables the user to verify the speed of the vehicle responsive to sensing that a radar device has been used to measure the speed. Other developments, such as U.S. Pat. No. 5,485,161, incorporated herein by reference, disclose a vehicle speed control based on GPS/MAP matching of posted speed limits. This system actually limits the vehicle speed based on its position.
None of these developments address a common problem with many radar detectors, i.e., false alarms. In general, detectors tend to indicate false alarms in response to signals which appear to be but are not radar signals. In addition, radar detectors tend to provide alarms whenever a radar signal is received, even in situations where the vehicle is at rest and no alarm is really necessary. Therefore, there is a need for an apparatus including a radar detector which minimizes false alarms and only provides alarms when necessary.
It is an object of the invention to provide an apparatus for alerting vehicle operators of radar signals only when the vehicle is being operated above a preset speed above the speed limit specified for the road on which the vehicle is being operated.
It is another object of the invention to provide a radar detector which cooperates with a vehicle speed signal such as provided by a global positioning system to provide a radar alarm in response to both a detected radar signal and additionally in response to the speed signal of the vehicle.
It is another object of the invention to provide a global positioning system apparatus which may be used in combination with a radar detector for selectively providing radar alarms only when the vehicle speed is greater than a preset maximum speed indicated by the operator.
It is another object of the invention to provide a radar detector in combination with a global positioning system which can be manufactured by modifying and retrofitting existing radar detectors with a global positioning system receiver.
In one form, the invention comprises apparatus for use on a vehicle. A radar detecting circuit adapted to be on the vehicle detects a radar signal and selectively provides a radar detect signal in response to detecting the radar signal. A global positioning system (GPS) receiver adapted to be on the vehicle determines a speed of the vehicle and provides a GPS speed signal representative of the vehicle speed. An alarm responsive to both the radar detect signal and the GPS speed signal provides an alarm indication.
In another form, the invention comprises an apparatus for use on a vehicle and for use with a speed signal representative of the speed of the vehicle. A radar detector adapted to be on the vehicle detects a radar signal and selectively provides a radar detect signal in response to detecting the radar signal. An alarm provides an alarm indication when energized. A circuit connected to the alarm and receiving the radar detect signal and the speed signal, selectively energizes the alarm in response to both the radar detect signal and the speed signal.
In another form, the invention comprises an apparatus for providing an alarm indication for a vehicle. A detector detects a radar signal impinging on the vehicle. An input device responsive to operator input defines a maximum acceptable speed of the vehicle. A speed circuit determines an actual speed of the vehicle. An actuating circuit selectively energizes an alarm to provide the alarm indication when a radar signal is detected by the detector and the speed circuit determines that the actual speed of the vehicle equals or exceeds the maximum acceptable speed of the vehicle as defined by the input device.
The invention also comprises a method of providing an alarm indication for a vehicle comprising the steps of:
detecting a radar signal impinging on the vehicle;
defining a maximum acceptable speed of the vehicle;
determining an actual speed of the vehicle; and
actuating an alarm to provide the alarm indication when a radar signal is detected and the determined actual speed of the vehicle equals or exceeds the maximum acceptable speed of the vehicle.
Other objects and features will be in part apparent and in part pointed out hereinafter.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one preferred embodiment of the apparatus according to the invention. In this embodiment, it is contemplated that a standard automobile radar detector would be modified and retrofitted to work in combination with a global positioning system (GPS) receiver 102 and other associated hardware and software. In general, a standard automobile radar detector is generally illustrated by the upper portion of FIG. 1. Such detectors usually include one or more band detecting circuits 104 which include various antennas and/or circuits for detecting various bandwidths such as X band, K band, KA band or laser band radar devices. Although these circuits are separately illustrated, they may share components or be constructed as multiband circuits. The outputs of these radar detecting circuits 104 are provided to a processor 106 which generally processes the output signals to determine whether or not an alarm indication should be activated. For example, processor 106 may compare the output of each band to a particular threshold level and only indicate or actuate an alarm in the event that a particular output is above that level. Furthermore, some radar detectors have redundant radar detecting circuits 104 and will only operate when both radar detecting circuits for the same band indicate receiving a signal greater than a threshold level.
In the event that the processor 106 receives signal which warrants energization of an alarm, the processor 106 generates a radar detect signal via line 108 which is normally directly provided to an alarm 110 to energize the alarm and provide a radar indication. Alarms 110 may be audible or visual or other types of alarms which would indicate to a driver of the vehicle that a radar signal has been received. An audible alarm such as a beeper would provide a sound as an alarm indication whereas a visual alarm, such as a flashing LED, would provide light as an alarm indication.
According to one preferred embodiment of the invention, an AND gate 112 is positioned between the processor 106 and the alarm 110 and would have two inputs, one of which receives the radar detect signal via line 108. As a result of the positioning of AND gate 112, alarm 110 would not be activated to provide an alarm indication unless both inputs of AND gate 112 receive signals. According to the invention and as described in more detail below, the second or lower input of AND gate 112 receives an overspeed signal via line 114 which is generated by additional hardware and software according to the invention which is added to the standard radar detector.
In particular, the added hardware includes GPS receiver 102 which complies with NMEA 0183 which is the standard for interfacing marine electronic devices. Such receivers generally have a VTG output which provides "course over ground and ground speed" information. In particular, the VTG output indicates the actual course and speed relative to the ground of the GPS receiver 102. The VTG signal is provided to a standard message decoder 118 which decodes the signal to determine the speed of the GPS receiver and hence the speed of the vehicle on which the receiver is mounted. This speed may be indicated in knots or kilometers per hour. In either case, the speed signal is then provided to a logic converter 120 which converts the speed signal into a miles per hour signal. The converter 120 is unnecessary for a system which is operating in kilometers per hour only.
As a result, a GPS speed signal is provided via line 122 indicating the speed of the vehicle. The GPS speed signal is provided to a comparator 124 which compares the GPS speed signal via line 122 to a maximum speed signal provided via line 126. The comparator 124 along with a memory 128 and an input device 130 constitute a speed threshold circuit responsive to operator input for indicating a maximum acceptable vehicle speed. The speed threshold circuit is associated with the GPS receiver 102 by receiving the GPS speed signal via line 122.
The speed threshold circuit includes an input device 130 such as a keypad, mouse, track ball or voice actuated module which allows the driver or other operator of the apparatus of the invention to indicate a maximum desired speed. It is also contemplated that the input device could be a receiver which communicates with a transmitter indicating the speed limit of the road on which the vehicle is located. For example, the GPS or a transmitter along the roadway could broadcast a signal indicating the maximum desired speed.
Generally, the maximum desired speed would be the speed limit of the road on which the vehicle is being operated. However, the operator may choose to indicate a maximum speed which is greater than or less than the speed limit. This maximum speed essentially is the speed above which the radar detector alarm will be permitted to operate, as will be described below in further detail. The maximum speed as input by the operator via input device 130 is stored in memory 128 and provided to comparator 124 as a maximum speed signal via line 126. The comparator compares the maximum speed signal to the GPS speed signal provided by the converter 120 via line 122. In other words, the comparator is determining whether or not the actual speed of the vehicle is greater than, less than or equal to the maximum speed as set by the operator. If, and only if, the actual speed of the vehicle as indicated by the GPS speed signal is equal to or greater than the maximum speed as indicated by the operator, comparator 124 provides an overspeed signal via line 114 to AND gate 112. This overspeed signal is continuously provided to the AND gate 112 as long as the actual speed of the vehicle as indicated by the GPS speed signal is greater than or equal to the maximum speed as indicated by the operator. Essentially, this lower input of AND gate 112 functions as an enable input. In other words, the overspeed signal enables the alarm 110 or provides an input to AND gate 112 so that whenever a radar detect signal generated by processor 106 is provided via line 108, alarm 110 would be actuated or energized to provide an alarm indication. If the vehicle speed is less than the maximum speed, AND gate 112 is disabled and will not actuate alarm 110 even when a radar detect signal is provided via line 108.
FIG. 2 illustrates in flow chart form a logical diagram of one preferred embodiment of the operation of the apparatus according to the invention. The logic of FIG. 2 can be implemented in hardware or software or a combination of both. For example, the logic may be implemented by logic circuitry according to the embodiment as illustrated in FIG. 1 or may be implemented by software according to the embodiment as illustrated in FIG. 3 discussed below. After being energized at step 202 by the operator, the apparatus first determines whether or not a preset speed threshold has been indicated or is ON at step 204. This step can be implemented in a number of ways. For example, the apparatus of FIG. 1 may include a switch which would selectively activate the speed threshold circuit. When the switch is OFF, a continuous overspeed signal 114 would be provided to the AND gate 112 so that the unit would always be enabled to operate whenever a radar detect signal was generated by processor 106 via line 108. By providing a preset speed threshold, the operator has indicated a maximum speed above which an alarm indication should be provided if radar is detected.
If no preset speed threshold has been indicated or the threshold is not ON, the logic proceeds to step 206 to determine whether or not a radar signal has been detected. If a radar signal has been detected, the logic proceeds to step 208 to energize the alarm. If no radar signal is detected or the alarm has been energized, the logic then proceeds back to step 204 to again determine whether or not the preset speed threshold is ON. Those skilled in the art will recognize that timers and delays may be used between these steps to implement this logic in a particular manner. For example, one way of implementing this logic is to program memory 128 to have a zero maximum speed signal unless otherwise programmed by the operator via input device 130. In this case, if no maximum is specified, the comparator would always be providing an overspeed signal 114 since any speed of the vehicle would be equal to or greater than zero.
In the event that the logic determines at step 204 that the speed threshold is ON, the logic then proceeds to step 210. For example, the speed threshold would be ON if the operator had indicated a maximum speed via input device 130. Alternatively, the preset speed threshold would be ON if the speed threshold circuit had been placed in the enable position. Step 210 essentially illustrates in logic form the function of comparator 124. If the actual vehicle speed is greater than or equal to the maximum speed or threshold as set by the operator via input device 130 and stored in memory 128, the logic proceeds to step 206 to determine whether a radar signal has been detected. On the other hand, if the actual vehicle speed is less than the threshold or maximum speed set by the operator, the logic proceeds to step 204 to again begin the process to determine whether or not the preset speed threshold has been set to be on.
In summary, the apparatus of FIG. 1 would operate according to the logic of FIG. 2 in the following manner. The apparatus, including the processor 106 and the GPS receiver 102, would always be operating when the unit was turned on. Radar detecting circuits 104 would be looking for various radar signals which may be impinging on the vehicle as the vehicle is being operated. Simultaneously, the GPS receiver 102 would be providing a corresponding GPS speed signal to comparator 124 indicating the actual speed of the vehicle. If the operator had indicated a maximum or threshold speed via input device 130 which maximum was stored in memory 128, the comparator 124 would compare this maximum speed signal to the actual speed of the vehicle as represented by the GPS speed signal. When the actual speed is greater than or equal to the maximum speed, an overspeed signal would be provided by comparator 124 via line 114. If the vehicle never reaches a speed greater than or equal to the maximum speed, an overspeed signal 114 would never be provided to AND gate 112 and the alarm 110 would never be enabled or permitted to operate.
During periods when the operator operates the vehicle at a speed greater than the maximum speed, an overspeed signal would be provided via line 114 to AND gate 112 essentially placing the AND gate in an enabled state. During the enabled state, if any of the detecting circuits 104 detects radar impinging on the vehicle, processor 106 would process such signals and provide a radar detect signal via line 108 in the event that the processor 106 determines that an alarm should be indicated. The combination of the radar detect signal 108 and overspeed signal via line 114 provided to the AND gate would energize the alarm 110 to provide an alarm indication. If the operator does not indicate a maximum speed via input device 130 so that the memory 128 essentially has stored in it a zero maximum speed, comparator 124 would continuously output an overspeed signal 114 which would continuously enable AND gate 112. As a result, the apparatus would function as a standard radar detector and would provide an alarm indication whenever any of the radar detecting circuits 104 detected a radar signal which according to processor 106 required a radar detect signal to be provided via line 108.
FIG. 3 illustrates in block diagram form another preferred embodiment of the apparatus according to the invention in which a processor for a radar detector is modified by additional circuitry and/or software to operate in accordance with the logic of FIG. 2 described above. As with the embodiment of FIG. 1, the FIG. 3 embodiment includes one or more radar detecting circuits 302, one for each band for sensing radar beacons impinging on the vehicle. When any one or more of these circuits receives a radar signal, a signal is provided to a processor 304 which determines whether or not to actuate an alarm 306 to provide an alarm indication. As with the FIG. 1 embodiment, this alarm may be visible, audible or some other type of indication which will get the operator's attention.
Preferably, the processor includes either a built-in or add-on memory 308 which receives information from an input device 310. This memory 308 and input device 310 correspond to the memory 128 and input device 130 of FIG. 1. The purpose of the memory and input device is to indicate to the processor the threshold or maximum speed above which the alarm 306 should be activated if a radar signal is detected. In addition, the processor 304 has an input for receiving a speed signal 312. This speed signal may be provided by a GPS receiver such as illustrated in FIG. 1. Alternatively, the speed signal may be a signal which is available from the electronics of the vehicle itself such as a tachometer signal or speedometer signal which would indicate vehicle speed. Alternatively, the vehicle could be equipped with a speed sensing device which separately determines the speed of the vehicle and provides a speed signal to the processor 304.
It is contemplated that the input device 310 may allow the operator to operate the apparatus in two modes of operation. In a first mode, the processor 304 would be operable in situations where no maximum acceptable vehicle speed has been indicated by the operator via the input device 310. In this first mode, the alarm 306 would be responsive to only the radar detecting circuits 302 which would be providing detect signals to the processor 304. In this first mode, an alarm indication would be provided by energizing alarm 306 whenever a radar signal is detected by any one or more of the radar detecting circuits 302 and the processor determines that such detected signals fall within the parameters of a signal which should be brought to the operator's attention. Essentially, the first mode corresponds to the standard operating mode of a standard radar detector. Alternatively, the processor 304 would have a second mode of operation which would be operable when the operator has used input device 310 to indicate a maximum acceptable vehicle speed which would be stored in memory 308. In the second mode, the alarm would be responsive to both the radar detecting circuits 302 and the speed signal 312 and provide an alarm indication by energizing the alarm 306 when both the signals from the radar detecting circuits indicate a detected radar signal and the speed signal corresponds to a vehicle speed equal to or greater than the indicated maximum vehicle speed stored in memory 308.
In view of the above, it will be seen that the several objects of the invention are achieved and other advantageous results attained.
As various changes could be made in the above products and methodswithout departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description and shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Ukip and Tory voters show strong support as 75% of population back new garden cities

Ukip and Tory voters show strong support as 75% of population back new garden citiesImage: Housing via Shutterstock
Three-quarters of Brits support the creation of new garden cities to tackle the country's housing crisis, a national survey has found.
And the poll, which was commissioned by the Wolfson Economics Prize, found that support for new garden cities is stronger among older people, homeowners, and Conservative and UKIP voters than among the population generally.
Over two thirds of the public also said that building new garden cities would better protect the countryside from development than the alternatives for delivering new housing.
Carried out by polling firm Populus last month, the survey of over 6,000 people was the first-ever large scale canvassing of attitudes towards garden cities.
Populus found a huge groundswell of support for garden cities and a clear understanding of the role that they could play as a means of solving the country’s housing shortage:
• 72% of those asked agreed that there is a serious shortage of good housing in Britain which people like them could afford – only 19% disagreed.
• 74% of those asked agreed that it is a good idea to build new garden cities to help meet Britain’s need for more housing – only 13% disagreed.
• An encouraging 79% of over-65s agreed that it is a good idea to build new garden cities, a figure higher than the average for the population as a whole; and the older the respondent, the stronger the support they gave.
• Support for the principle of garden cities was strongest in London, the South East and the West Midlands, though regional variations were not particularly strong.
• Support for the principle of garden cities was strong across the political spectrum, with around three-quarters of every major party’s supporters agreeing that it is a good idea to build garden cities; 4 in 5 Conservative voters agreed – higher than the average (Liberal Democrats 82%, Conservative 80%; Labour 77%, UKIP 73%, undecided 73%).
• Levels of support for garden cities do not decline in rural areas – while 74% of all respondents agreed that it is a good idea to build new garden cities to help meet Britain’s need for more housing, the corresponding figure for rural respondents only was very similar at 72%, a similarity which is repeated no matter what question is asked (‘rural’ means that the respondent says that they live in a village, hamlet or isolated dwelling).
• Homeowners were more likely to agree with the principle of garden cities than renters, with 75% of homeowners agreeing that it is a good idea to build garden cities compared with 71% of renters.
• 70% of those asked agreed that building garden cities would be a better way of delivering new housing compared with how and where housing is delivered now – only 13% disagreed, and rural respondents were just as likely to agree with this statement as urban dwellers.
• 68% of those asked agreed that garden cities would protect more countryside from development than the alternatives for delivering the housing we need – only 14% disagreed.
• 78% of those asked agreed that it is important to provide private gardens in new homes that are built in Britain; older people typically felt this more strongly but 75% of 25-34 year olds also agreed;
• 58% of people agreed that there is plenty of land on which we could build if it were allowed – with older people again being most certain about this.
• More than two thirds of those asked said that free or cheap energy, council tax discounts, or a promise of improved local services would make them more likely to support a garden city in their area. A guarantee to protect homeowners against property price falls was equally popular, and more two-thirds of those asked said that significant cash sums would also make them more in favour (with never more than 15% saying that such incentives would make them less in favour).
Simon Wolfson, founder of the Wolfson Economics Prize, said: “This is a very encouraging poll. It demonstrates how popular garden cities would be as a solution to Britain's mounting housing crisis. It is particularly interesting that older generations, more than others, support the building of new homes with gardens. Naturally, they aspire for their children and grandchildren to live in the quality of homes they themselves have enjoyed."
Miles Gibson, Prize Director, said: “This poll is the largest ever conducted into attitudes towards the garden city concept, and it challenges the conventional wisdom in almost every respect. We found widespread support for new garden cities especially among older people and homeowners.
"Garden cities are perceived as a rational alternative across the country, across the generations, and across the political spectrum. The poll also shows that, when people are asked individually how they would react, distaste for better and more direct compensation for the costs imposed by new development is much less evident than might be thought.”


Al-Zindani’s alliance lacks the front [Archives:2006/927/Opinion]
The U.S. demands Yemen arrest Sheikh Abdulmajeed Al-Zindani, included in a United Nations list issued under international decision, and freeze his assets on suspicion of funneling money to terrorism while the Yemeni side released the U.S. letter in neutral language, closer to defaming Al-Zindani and exerting pressure on the Islah Party.
This past week witnessed escalating charges against Al-Zindani, Islah's Shoura Council chairman. Yemeni army mouthpiece September 26 weekly and the official Al-Jumhuriyya and Al-Thawra daily published a letter from U.S. President George W. Bush to his Yemeni counterpart, Ali Abdullah Saleh. The letter contained an official U.S. protest against President Saleh's accompanying Al-Zindani in Yemen's delegation to last year's Muslim Countries Summit in Mecca.
The U.S. letter demanded Al-Zindani's capture, seizing his property and preventing him from traveling abroad. The demands were based on a UN resolution accusing Al-Zindani of funneling money to terrorism.
Al-Zindani has been considered one of the prominent militants, in addition to other American nationals, who fought hard in Afghanistan. For two years, the U.S. Department of Treasury and other official parties charged Al-Zindani with funding terrorism, mainly supporting Islamic groups in Iraq.
The file of charges against Al-Zindani later was forwarded to the UN, which officially took up the issue along with others regarding names contained in its terrorist list. The issue is troubling relations between the U.S. and Yemen, which joined a terrorism fighting coalition and signed a security agreement following the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the U.S.
The matter of extraditing terror suspects and locating their trials remained ambiguous while Yemen refused to surrender any Yemeni citizen to a foreign force, as such harms Yemen's sovereignty. Yemen vowed instead to try any suspect based on sufficient evidence. This matter also raises tension in different political aspects due to Al-Zindani's status as a great Islamic scholar. During 1994-95, he was a member of the Presidential Council. Most important is that he has relationships with those in power both inside and outside Yemen due to his previous activities. So, targeting Al-Zindani is bound to open a never-ending file.
Al-Zindani's case was in a position to tighten and attract Yemen and the U.S. over the past two years, but U.S. demands were confined to freezing his assets and preventing him from traveling abroad. There was no demand for his capture. It is of crucial importance that Al-Zindani and several parties cast doubt on the published letter's authenticity, particularly the demand for his capture, considered a type of pressure by Yemeni authorities for political purposes.
Despite confessing to the significance of development in the U.S. stance, in case the letter with all its demands is proven authentic, another more important thing is reflected in the way Yemen dealt with the letter. Although Yemeni authorities have been enthusiastic enough to defend Al-Zindani, taking into account that the state is responsible for his case, the situation differed this time and no attention was paid to the issue.
The letter was leaked to the official press, despite media silencing imposed on letters like it. Authorities become angry when the U.S. Ambassador is subjected to issues like this in public or when he talks about demands for political reform, which is a local matter.
Authorities never commented on the letter, published in a neutral manner closer to defaming and pressuring Al-Zindani and the Islah Party, unless it paves the way for more centrist stances to be discovered in coming days. Yemen's stance was limited to asking the U.S. Administration for clear-cut evidence in order to hunt for Al-Zindani and bring him to trial in Yemen.
The issue developed because Al-Zindani, Iman University rector, resumed pursuing his activities publicly by giving sermons, holding symposiums and leading huge protests against the Prophet Mohamed cartoons published by a Danish newspaper. The new climate and popular feelings constituted a suitable opportunity for Al-Zindani to get rid of the solitude imposed on him for nearly four years. Islah is said to be the first party that demanded Al-Zindani restrict his activities following the 9/11 terrorist attacks before others restricted them.
Remarkably, Al-Zindani has become a burden to the Islamist Islah Party with its judicial policies that bring it closer to, or rather to top, the forces of democracy and the civil community. The party has broader alliances with the leftist and liberalist opposition, as well as channels for dialogue and deliberation with the U.S. Al-Zindani is believed to be closer to Salafi groups than to Islah. Multiple doubts emerge regarding authorities' stance toward Al-Zindani after they supported him along with Iman University over the past time period and tightened the noose around Islamic politicians in the Islah Party.
The situation indicates that political motives, not the War on Terror, are behind pressuring Al-Zindani. Pressure is being exerted upon him to back President Saleh in September's presidential elections, as well as on the Islah Party that joined the JMP calling for political reforms. The JMP is expected to nominate a single candidate to compete against President Saleh in the upcoming presidential elections. Al-Zindani's alliance with the authority and several other parties is broader than his relationship with the Islamic movement.
Al-Zindani is viewed as a religious hardliner, but disputes with him proceed to the advantage of the Islah Party to peacefully attract Al-Zindani and integrate him into the political movement. External targeting of Al-Zindani helps him gain strength and power.
Two political sides are racing to win Al-Zindani, but both evade any harm associated with him. The authority defends him as a terror suspect to gain his trust, while the Islah Party views him as a burden on the judicial Islamic movement.

When using most machines, one of the common problems that might pop up is structural vibration. Vertical vibration are not an exception. Most of them have a motor on the upper side and stand suspended from the discharge elbow of the pump setup. Essentially, this configuration means that they have some room to vibrate, meaning that it is harder to damp and stiffen them. Low levels of damping and stiffening implies that the pump experiences natural vibrations.
There are various advantages associated with using scaffolds over conventional ladders. One of the major advantages is that a scaffold will provide a wider work platform, which provides greater stability and makes it easier to access hard-to-reach areas without adjusting the position of the scaffold every so often.
As is the case when using ladders, you should be concerned about your safety when working with a rental scaffold. This article provides three tips on how to improve your safety when using scaffolds for demolition or repairs.

In the fight against the coronavirus, a sewing machine probably wouldn't make the short list of life-saving instruments.
But as supplies of personal protective equipment dwindle in hospitals at the epicenters of the U.S. outbreak, medical professionals are sounding the alarm about a lack of surgical caps and face masks to protect their patients and themselves in contaminated environments.
Melanie Coakley, owner of Ready Set Sew in East Ridge, is answering the call.
On Saturday, she had begun the first steps in an assembly line that she said would eventually produce stacks of masks for local doctors and nurses to use when the need arises in the Chattanooga area.
"Everybody's stressed," she said. "This is something I can do to keep my mind off things and actually do something productive."
Coakley said she was asked to start producing the masks by a couple of nurses who work in local hospitals.

Kennards Lift & Shift , specialists in hire equipment, has opened a new hire centre branch in Queensland.
The equipment hire centre at Rocklea in Brisbane fills a gap in the network of the company’s hire centres, making it easier to service all areas of Australia.
Kennards Lift & Shift hire centres are already operational in Sydney, Wollongong, Adelaide, Melbourne, and Perth.
Allen Besseling, Managing Director, explained, “This gives us a national distribution network, which will be helpful to many of our customers who operate in several states and have been keen for us to expand into Queensland.”
He continued to explain that Kennards Lift & Shift offer lifting solutions for numerous markets, and offer a variety of specialist equipment for hire, a lot of which was formerly difficult to hire in Queensland.
“It includes hydraulic jacks and props, trolleys, skates and pallet trucks, chain blocks and winches, hoists and conveyors, cable hauling equipment, ramps, rigging accessories and general lifting items.”
David Fellows heads up the Queensland operation and has over 22 years experience in the lifting equipment industry in the UK, including management roles with Lifting Gear Hire and Speedy Lifting.
“Someone with that sort of experience doesn’t come along every day, and we are very excited about David joining us and taking this branch forward,” Allen Besseling said.
“David and his team can provide the right advice, as well as the right equipment for all sorts of jobs.”

Clockwork River, by J.S. Emery
Recommended by Iris W.
A sister searches for her missing brother as a new power rises amid the splendor and the squalor of a once great city in this steampunk fantasy epic. Time is running out for the Clockwork River.
Lower Rhumbsford is a city far removed from its glory days. Its founding fathers channeled the great river Rhumb’s mighty flow into a subterranean labyrinth of pipes, valves and sluices, a feat of hydraulic prowess that would come to power an empire.
But a thousand years have passed since then, and something is wrong: the pipes are leaking, the valves stuck, the sluices silted and the once torrential Rhumb has been reduced to a sluggish trickle.
The fortunes of the Locke family, descendants of the city’s most celebrated engineer, are similarly reduced. In a former fashionable quarter of the once great city, siblings Samuel and Briony Locke distract themselves: Sam devotes most of his time to his lock collection, instead of finishing his engineering thesis; facing the prospect of a disagreeable marriage, Briony occupies herself with alchemical experiments.
One night, Samuel leaves the house carrying five of his most precious locks and doesn’t come back. As she searches for her brother, Briony will be drawn into a web of ancestral secrets and imperial intrigues as a ruthless new power arises. If brother and sister are to be reunited, they will need the help of a tight-lipped house spirit, a convict gang, a tribe of troglodytes, an association of antiques enthusiasts, a traveling theatrical troupe, the Ladies Whist Club, the Deep State, and a lovesick mouse.
Epic, rollicking and in love with language, Jacob and Sara Emery’s sprawling debut novel of humble kitchen magics and awe-inspiring civil engineering is a rare and delicious commodity – the world’s first hydropunk novel.
Music is History, by Questlove
Recommended by Max W.
Questlove collects the 500 songs that have changed not just popular music, but also the world. In other words, Music Is History is an in-depth look into the 500 most influential songs in the history of music. Most famously known as the drummer and joint front man for the Grammy Award-winning band The Roots, Questlove is also an astute musicologist and voracious historian. In this book, Questlove dives into musical history from every decade of the twentieth century, choosing one essential track from each year.
The author thoughtfully and insightfully unpacks each song’s cultural significance by placing it in its historical context, discussing real world events that shaped both the song’s creation and its lasting impact. Analyses of iconic classics like “Sir Duke” by Stevie Wonder include investigations into the histories of science, politics, and pop culture. Questlove moves fluidly from the personal to the political, from Curtis Mayfield to the history of Black representation in cinema, to musings on the Nixon presidency.
Complete with comprehensive playlists organized around personal, playful themes like “Songs That Got Shafted” or “Songs With a Part I Really Like Even Though I Don’t Like the Whole Song,” this book is so full of Questlove’s essential recommendations that it feels like a conversation with the industry’s coolest music obsessive. Music Is History is a masterclass in music by a contemporary icon – a new American musical canon from one of music’s most influential and unique voices.

To Paradise, by Hanya Yanagihara
Recommended by Reinoud and Klaartje
From the author of the modern classic A Little Life (shortlisted in 2015 for the Man Booker Prize), To Paradise is a bold, brilliant novel spanning three centuries and three different versions of the American experiment, about lovers, family, loss and the elusive promise of utopia. In an alternate version of 1893 America, New York is part of the Free States, where people may live and love whomever they please (or so it seems). The fragile young scion of a distinguished family resists betrothal to a worthy suitor, drawn to a charming music teacher of no means.
In a 1993 Manhattan besieged by the AIDS epidemic, a young Hawaiian man lives with his much older, wealthier partner, hiding his troubled childhood and the fate of his father. And in 2093, in a world riven by plagues and governed by totalitarian rule, a powerful scientist’s damaged granddaughter tries to navigate life without him – and solve the mystery of her husband’s disappearances.
To Paradise is a fin-de-siècle novel of marvelous literary effect, but above all it is a work of emotional genius. The great power of this remarkable novel is driven by Yanagihara’s understanding of the aching desire to protect those we love – partners, lovers, children, friends, family and even our fellow citizens – and the pain that ensues when we cannot.
We hope you enjoyed this month’s staff picks. See you soon for exciting tips from your favorite book lovers!

Apple iPhone 5s is an iconic device, no doubt. It is beautifully crafted and some people still believe it is the best iPhone ever designed, but why would a museum housing movie-related objects have the iPhone 5s on display? Well, the iPhone 5s served as the only piece of camera equipment for shooting an entire movie.
The iPhone 5s will be among the many movie-related objects that will be on display at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences museum when it opens to the public because the rear camera on the iPhone 5S was used by Director Sean Baker to film his movie Tangerine.
Baker shot and edited the entire movie using just his iPhone 5s and nothing else. The film was a big hit at Sundance Film Festival and was screened at various other International film festivals elsewhere. The movie also went on to gross seven times its making cost when it released in theatres.
The Academy released a video (above) announcing Baker's decision to give the iPhone 5s used for filming Tangerine over to the organization. Baker used the Filmic Pro app that cost him a mere $8 to edit the entire movie.
The iPhone 5s will be placed alongside memorabilia from some of the most famous films ever made including The Wizard of Oz (1939 original) and Jurassic Park in the 300,000 square foot museum.

Cars could be banned from six Oxford roads as part of a plan to introduce six new traffic filters in the city. Under the proposals drivers would need a permit to take private vehicles down six streets.
Permits would be available for blue badge holders, health workers and professional and non professional care workers. All other vehicles including buses, coaches, taxis, vans, mopeds and HGVs will be allowed at all times.
Four of the traffic filters would be located on St Cross Road, Thames Street, St Clements and Hythe Bridge Street and these will operate seven days a week from 7am to 7pm. The other two filters would be on Marston Ferry Road and Hollow Way and will not operate on Sundays.

A consultation on the scheme is running until October. There would be a six month trial in August.
Councillor Louise Upton, Cabinet Member for Health and Transport, Oxford City Council, said: “The traffic filters aim to allow buses and taxis to flow more freely, and will reduce the number of cars on the roads making it safer and more pleasant for people travelling by bike or walking.
“We are not saying that people need to give up cars completely, and permits will be available to local residents and businesses. We want to achieve a better transport mix which improves our air quality, encourages active travel, and ensures all those that do not have access to a car have a better bus service. We want to help everyone to travel safely and on time. Let’s get Oxford moving.”
Councillor Duncan Enright, Oxfordshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Travel and Development Strategy, said: “Traffic filters are an important part of the central Oxfordshire travel plan, which aims to reduce the need to travel in private cars and make walking, cycling and public transport the natural first choice.”
“Currently traffic congestion is delaying bus journeys. Cycling is becoming less attractive due to traffic levels. People traveling by taxis get stuck in jams – a costly situation for both passengers and taxi firms.
“Traffic filters will help us achieve a sustainable transport system. Such a system can play a leading role in improving air quality, providing better connectivity particularly for buses, pedestrians and cyclists, and improving the health and wellbeing of our communities. We are committed to listening to you as we make our transport system fit for purpose.”
Councillor Andrew Gant, Oxfordshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Highways Management, said: “We all want bus services to continue to get better as they can make excellent use of limited road space. The proposed traffic filters will make our buses faster, bus operators will be able to introduce new bus services and electric buses, and essential journeys will be faster.
“This is just the start of the conversation. If implemented, the traffic filters will be introduced under an experimental traffic regulation order during summer next year. This means that we will have six months to see how they work, monitor their impact and make any changes, if necessary, before making decisions about the long-term future of the scheme.”

When shopping for bathroom lighting, striking the perfect balance between bright and flattering is tricky. Not to mention, with so many different products on the market, choosing light bulbs can be overwhelming. Even the language surrounding them is confusing. Shoppers can easily get caught up in trying to decipher all of the numbers and terminology on the side of the box. It can be confusing to ponder whether watts or lumens matter more when it comes to brightness or if LEDs really last for 30 years. In this article, learn more about how to choose the best light bulbs for bathroom spaces.
- BEST OVERALL: GE Relax 8-Pack 60 W Equivalent Dimmable Warm White
- BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK: OHLUX Smart WiFi LED Light Bulbs (No Hub Required)
- BEST FOR VANITIES: Sunco Lighting 10 Pack G25 LED Globe, 6W=40W
- BEST FOR VINTAGE LOOK: Ascher Dimmable Vintage LED Edison Bulbs, 6W
- BEST INCANDESCENT: GE Incandescent Light Bulbs, A21, 150-Watt, 6-Pack
- BEST CFL: Sylvania 13W CFL T2 Spiral Light Bulb, 60W Equivalent
What to Consider When Choosing the Best Light Bulbs for the Bathroom
Before you shop for bathroom light bulbs, weigh some key considerations. Though it would be easy to assume that all light bulbs will deliver a similar result, keep these factors in mind when shopping for the best light bulbs for your bathroom.
- LEDs (light-emitting diodes) have quickly taken over the market because they’re eco-friendly, energy-efficient, and ultimately help save money on electricity bills. They also last about 25,000 hours—or more than 30 years. Their brightness is measured in lumens, and modern LEDs can produce a wide range of color temperatures. They’re becoming increasingly affordable, and when you consider the fact that each bulb costs an average of $1.19 per year to run, they’re actually an economical choice.
- Incandescent lights are becoming less popular because they require more energy to produce the same amount of light as LEDs. Much of the energy they use is wasted in producing heat. Because of that, they each cost about $7 per year to power. Incandescent lights typically have a lifespan of approximately 1.5 years. One advantage, however, is that they tend to have a flattering effect on the skin, making them a good choice for vanity lighting around a bathroom mirror.
- CFLs (compact fluorescent lights) have a coiled design and are a middle ground between LEDs and incandescent lights. They’re significantly more energy efficient than incandescents and have a lifespan of 10,000 hours, or 14 years. The downside is they don’t render color as well as LEDs and tend to emit a harsh, sterile light. That makes them less desirable in bathrooms.
Every light fixture has a maximum wattage rating, and it’s important to ensure that the bulb chosen is compatible with the fixture. If a fixture has a maximum wattage of 60 watts, using a bulb that requires more energy risks causing the fixture to overheat. Luckily, this is only a concern when dealing with incandescent lights. Because CFLs and LEDs use energy so efficiently, there are very few instances where their wattage will exceed the maximum rating.
Brightness and Color Temperature
When it comes to LED lights, brightness is measured in lumens rather than watts. In a bathroom, it’s ideal to have 75 lumens per square foot for task lighting. Once the size of the space is calculated, establish how many cumulative lumens would work best.
The color temperature of the bulbs is a matter of preference. Light temperature is measured in Kelvins (K). The higher the number, the cooler the light will be. A bulb with a 5,000K color temperature will give off a brighter white hue, while 2,700K bulbs emit a warmer, orange glow. Warmer lights are more flattering for most skin tones, so they’re a good choice if you need a confidence boost before starting your day. Cool-toned lights, on the other hand, give a room a clean, crisp feel.
Choosing dimmable lights for a bathroom offers several advantages. The strongest setting is ideal when bright light is required for shaving or applying cosmetics, but they can be dimmed for middle of the night bathroom visits. Dimmable bulbs also save energy in the long run if they’re frequently used at lower brightness levels. If there’s a dimmer on the light fixture, it’s important to choose compatible dimmable bulbs.
There are countless different light bulb shapes, but the ones most often used in bathrooms are A-series, globe, and Edison bulbs.
- A-series bulbs are the classic light bulb shape that is most popular for home use.
- Edison bulbs have exposed filaments and typically produce an ultra-warm light temperature of between 2,200K and 2,400K. They have a vintage look and provide an antique aesthetic.
- Globe or G-series bulbs are suitable for decorative fixtures where the bulb will be on display, making them a great choice for bathroom vanities.
Smart light bulbs are a great way to introduce smart technology into the home. By connecting them to an app, they can be controlled from the phone or by using voice commands, allowing users to turn off the light while away from home—or from the comfort of the bed or couch. Some models change color, allowing users to create different lighting aesthetics depending on the mood they want to set. Smart bulbs take a little more effort to set up than standard bulbs. After they’re screwed in, individuals must link to an app in order to get the most out of them, so they’re great for tech-savvy users.

A battle over disclosure of climate research documents could produce new law on the public’s right to access government records in Virginia.
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear three freedom-of-information issues arising from efforts by conservatives to examine the basis of climate change studies at the University of Virginia.
Circuit Judge Paul Sheridan ruled last year that many emails from climate researcher Michael Mann were exempt from disclosure under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act.
The records were sought by the American Tradition Institute, a group which rejects the assertion by Mann and other scientists that carbon gas emissions are responsible for global climate change.
The Supreme Court Monday agreed to consider when university documents are considered “proprietary,” whether U.Va. could charge for reviewing documents, and whether the school met its burden of showing the retained records met the standard for exclusion under the FOIA.
Sheridan ruled last September after examining a number of examples of withheld emails between Mann and other scientists discussing climate research. U.Va. produced about 1,800 emails in response to the request, but claimed another 12,000 emails were exempt because they were of a “proprietary nature” under the FOIA law.

BACOLOD City – The Negros Occidental Police Provincial Office (Nocppo) presented on Thursday afternoon three persons of interest tagged in the killing of a former village councilman at Barangay Kumaliskis, Don Salvador Benedicto town.
Police Colonel Romeo Baleros, Nocppo director, said they were arrested by the San Carlos City Police in a checkpoint at the national highway of Sitio Medina, Barangay Rizal an hour after the killing.
One of the three alleged suspects was identified as Armando Larida, 42, of Barangay Bagong-Silang, Don Salvador Benedicto. He allegedly yielded a .45-caliber pistol with five standard magazines, 30 rounds of live ammunition, a sling bag, and a holster.
Larida was driving a motorcycle, along with his nephew and another companion, when they were arrested by police around 9:15 a.m.
Baleros said they cannot yet conclude if the three are responsible for the death of Fernando Toreno who was gunned down by five unidentified armed men at Barangay Kumaliskis 8 a.m. Thursday.
Toreno was riding a motorcycle when he was waylaid by the assailants who were on board a red sports utility vehicle. He suffered gunshot wounds on the head and was declared dead in a hospital.
Baleros said the assailants fled towards San Carlos City, thus a dragnet operation followed, which resulted in their arrest.
Baleros said the three persons of interest will be subjected to paraffin tests to find out if they have direct involvement in Toreno’s murder. The recovered firearm will also be subjected to ballistic examination, he added.
“We will give them due process, as we conduct in-depth investigation to determine if they are the same perpetrators who killed Toreno,” the provincial director said.
Baleros said Larida will be charged for illegal possession of firearm and ammunition, and will be detained at San Carlos City Police Station while his two companions will be placed in the custody of Don Salvador Municipal Police Station for further investigation.
Meanwhile, Police Captain Jerald Muya, chief of Don Salvador Municipal Police Station, said they have a witness who identified the three arrested persons as among Toreno’s assailants based on the clothes they were wearing.
Muya, however, said they will still have to investigate further and gather more evidence to confirm their identities.
Muya said they are eyeing grudge as possible motive behind Toreno’s murder, but they cannot give details in the meantime.
Also, Muya said that they are tracing the persons who rented the SUV which was used in the crime.
When sought for reaction, Larida and his two companions denied their involvement in Toreno’s murder case, saying they were supposed to go to work for a roofing installation at the said town when they were arrested.
Larida, however, refused to comment about the firearm recovered from his possession.

Jean Marsilli was a new college graduate in 1970 looking to support the troops when she volunteered to go to Vietnam to be an American Red Cross “Donut Dolly.” From the DMZ to the Mekong Delta she traveled by chopper deep into the jungle to remote fire bases to cheer up the soldiers with games, snacks and warm smiles. She would sometimes see napalm burning in the distance when she landed, surrounded by snipers, as the rotors kicked up the hem of her blue Red Cross dress.
The retired teacher and grandmother is still an active Red Cross volunteer. She distributed food to flood-stricken homeowners on Long Island after Hurricane Sandy in 2013, and worked at an emergency shelter in Baton Rouge after a catastrophic flood in 2016, putting in 12-hour shifts “with 300 of my new best friends.”
At 68, she never seems to get tired of helping, and today drives a bus to help homeless people get around. She remains ready to travel if misfortune strikes.
What keeps her going? Giving back.
“We all had our own reasons for going to Vietnam,” she says. “I went because the guys were going and I thought it was important to be there. I volunteer today because I’ve always done it. It’s not something we should do - it’s something we have to do. We have to help each other. It’s an obligation like voting.”
The Vietnam years remain vivid to her. Unlike the USO shows that the late comedian Bob Hope used to do, flying in and out for a whirlwind tour, the Donut Dollies remained in-country. They traveled to remote mountaintops with a 1-acre patch of cleared jungle. The only other visible landmarks were guns and sandbags. The cheeky pilots would keep the rotors going as the dollies would exit the chopper, sending their skirts up in the air in the style of the iconic Marilyn Monroe photo. “I sent home for some colored underwear,” she says with a laugh. But the mood would turn serious when there was word of Viet Cong in the area and the chopper would have to use its long-range gun. The dollies would put their fingers in their ears until the firing stopped.
“We were morale boosters,” she says simply, shrugging off the danger. “I have always tried to lead my life by helping, and I have tried to instill that in my children and my grandchildren. I try to help people who need it the most. It’s the right thing to do.”
