i don't think that [packOSC] and [unpackOSC] should handle these.
the OSC-specs say: "The underlying network that delivers an OSC packet
is responsible for delivering both the contents and the size to the OSC
[packOSC]/[unpackOSC] could be seen as the "OSC application" part,
whereas [tcpsend]/[tcpreceive] could be seen as the "underlying network"
part (or part thereof).
however, i _do not_ propose to add the length prefix to the
[tcpreceive]/... part, as this will make it less useable in any other
personally i think it is a design flaw in OSC, to have stream-based
transmission differently from package-based transmission.
claiming that the "underlying network" has to take care of it, is in
contradiction to the claim of being "transport layer independent" (but
then, the specs doesn't explicitely say so, and i probably just make it
up myself; one could also argue, that OSC does not directly build on top
of the transport layer and that there should be something inbetween OSC
and the transport layer)
i think, the sending of "plain" OSC-messages should probably have been
unsupported from the beginning, with eventually having a stripped down
"bundle" that just has the message-length.
but anyhow, OSC has been around for quite some time, it's most likely
useless to hope for a change.
as (imho) the re-packaging should be neither part of [unpackOSC] nor
[tcpreceive], i would suggest using intermediate objects that handle the
re-packaging of streams.
for now, zexy's [repack] should be able to do it.
on the long run: shouldn't Pd's [list]-family contain an
atom-accumulator of this kind?

- The results of a new Aon research study show pay increases will remain largely stagnant next year, per an email provided to HR Dive. According to Aon's U.S. Salary Increase Survey, workers saw a 2.9% raise in base pay in 2017. In 2018, workers are projected to see a 3% increase in base pay.
- The projections come as other reports reveal the strengthening of the economy and optimistic job numbers, showing the pressure companies are under to focus on results and efficiency. Workers who expect to receive sizable performance-based bonuses next year will be equally disappointed; employers plan to spend only 12.5% of payroll on bonuses — the lowest increase since 2010. Only high performers can expect to receive significant raises next year, Aon said.
- Meanwhile, more than two-thirds of organizations plan to increase pay differentials in 2018. The research results show that 40% of employers are reducing or eliminating pay increases for less-than-stellar performers and 15% are setting performance targets that are more stringent, Aon found.
Other studies, including a recent one by Willis Towers Watson, show similar projections that pay increases are holding steady into 2018 at about the same rate, 3% on average. Only managers and high performers can expect to see raises at higher percentages.
While the economy is churning out bigger job numbers, wages aren't increasing as fast. Some employers might have raised wages to meet the U.S. Labor Department's now-abandoned overtime rule threshold. Others might have anticipated that they'd have to make substantial wage increases and held off making large interim increases.
This year's college graduates expected significantly higher starting wages, but they may be disappointed by what employers are actually paying in starting salaries and next year's annual increases. To offset this stagnation, employers may want to emphasize their benefits or perquisites to attract new talent.

As tenants prepare to return to their buildings on a more consistent basis, office reconfiguration on and fitouts are top of mind. While updating spaces for less density and more social distancing, with more sensors and less recirculated air, owners and tenants have a prime opportunity to optimize their space for sustainability and energy performance, in addition to health and wellness, at the same time.
Historically, a new lease or a tenant improvement (TI)—either of which could trigger a fitout—is a tremendous opportunity not only to upgrade and adjust interior spaces to better address occupants’ needs and desires, but also to embed new sustainability and health-focused technology. As building occupants begin to factor in upgrades to their leased spaces now deemed essential due to COVID-19—such as better heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, more air filtration, and access to outdoor space where possible—it is crucial that overall sustainability be considered, too. ULI’s Greenprint Center for Building Performance has a number of tenant-focused resources that can help guide interested parties toward more efficient and sustainable leased space fitouts.
“While sustainability should be a continuous focus for owners and tenants, fitouts offer a unique opportunity to really focus on and optimize the energy efficiency of a space.” — Dana Schneider, senior vice president, director of energy, sustainability, and ESG for Empire State Realty
Cost-Effective Office Fitouts for Health and Sustainability
An increased focus on air filtration needs and overall health and wellness concerns has driven many building owners to upgrade base-building HVAC systems. Other improvements in buildings’ leased spaces are being implemented to enable a safer, more-distanced work environment. While addressing the overall sustainability of a leased space can be difficult, when tackled in a systematic manner it is easier to achieve and increasingly important for owners to stay ahead.
Whether a fitout is spurred by a response to COVID-19 and a pending return to the office, or through a typical TI, sustainability and health can go hand in hand. When one is broadly considering the sustainability of a space, energy efficiency is a great place to start analyzing opportunities in leased spaces during fitouts. ULI’s Tenant Energy Optimization Program (TEOP) offers tenants in leased spaces a 10-step guide to achieve higher energy efficiency—and, in turn, sizable savings—in a leased space. Spaces following TEOP’s 10 steps can achieve 30 to 50 percent energy savings and a 25 percent internal rate of return.
TEOP is broken down into three phases (pre-lease, design and construction, and post-occupancy) and uses data, financial and energy modeling, and proven best practices to guide fitout teams through steps to optimize energy efficiency. Analysis and implementation of proven technologies and building features are coupled with smart planning to ensure that the space is occupied and maintained in an efficient manner.
Dana Schneider, senior vice president, director of energy, sustainability, and ESG for Empire State Realty, explains the importance of maintaining energy and sustainability not only during the fitout but also throughout the operation of a space. Schneider said, “While sustainability should be a continuous focus for owners and tenants, fitouts offer a unique opportunity to really focus on and optimize the energy efficiency of a space. The pandemic has placed an even more critical focus on indoor environmental quality. Through the TEOP process, we have demonstrated the ability to balance health, wellness, sustainability, and efficiency in all both new and existing office spaces. This has a major impact on the health and satisfaction of occupants, and also drives measurable returns on investment.”
Even owners and occupants aiming for net-zero energy (NZE) can use the process. More information on the Rocky Mountain Institute’s leased space in Boulder Commons, one of the only multitenant aspiring NZE buildings in the United States, can be read here. Cara Carmichael, principal at the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), explains why recognition was so important for them: “RMI has an organizational focus on carbon emissions reductions, and we’ve always been very motivated to translate that mission to our offices, both leased and owned. Our current space in Boulder, Colorado, in a net-zero building was made possible through open and transparent communication with our landlord, Morgan Creek Ventures, a carefully crafted green lease, and a motivation to lease space in a building we see as the future of commercial offices. To also now have recognition programs like EPA’s Energy Star Tenant Space has been a great way for us to bring all of this full circle and acknowledge the importance of landlord/tenant relationships in energy efficiency and sustainability.”
Architects, engineers, and other members of the design team play an important role in any fitout, and have the opportunity to scale the TEOP best practices across a multitude of projects. As such, it becomes critical for fitout project leads to select experts who are well versed not only in design and construction, but also in energy and sustainability. A guide to help architects and engineers encourage sustainability in fitouts through the TEOP process can be read here.
Sustainability in Multifamily Residential Units
The multifamily sector must tackle its own set of challenges and opportunities. Due to the combination of potentially dozens of individual resident leases in a multifamily building, sustainability considerations are typically confined to common areas. Multifamily building owners usually only have control over the building envelope, shared buildings systems, and large appliances chosen for individual units. Even so, many opportunities for energy and financial savings emerge in the residential units themselves.
As an addendum to TEOP for office, ULI published 10 Steps for Multifamily Owners, Operators, and Investors to Achieve Energy Optimization in Residential Units. This guide walks multifamily building owners and managers through a multifamily-specific version of the process to implement during unit turnover. Aimed at the same outcome—i.e., optimizing and increasing overall energy efficiency and sustainability of a leased space—these steps can help owners and residents find more harmony in sustainability endeavors.
“RMI has an organizational focus on carbon emissions reductions, and we’ve always been very motivated to translate that mission to our offices, both leased and owned.” — Cara Carmichael, principal at the Rocky Mountain Institute
Recognition Opportunities for Leased-Space Efficiency
In addition to the financial benefits of a more sustainable fitout, there is the benefit of market recognition. Leased spaces can apply for recognition to acknowledge improvements to energy efficiency and sustainability. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star program has one of the only leased-space sustainability recognition programs on the market. Those offices achieving a high level of energy efficiency and meeting the criteria outlined by the EPA can apply for Energy Star Tenant Space recognition. An office fitout that follows TEOP is well positioned to earn that recognition—more details on how the two pieces align are available here. Even for those spaces not ready for recognition, the program’s criteria can help guide tenants toward steps that will increase the overall efficiency of their space.
As building occupants orchestrate their return-to-office fitouts, now is the time to pull together the right project team, plan out both health and sustainability improvements, and ensure that the space is recognized for its leadership. The resources listed in this article should give both building owners and tenants a good head start, no matter what is spurring the fitout.

A group of fundamentalist Catholics prevented Anna Von Hausswolff from playing a concert in Nantes last nigh (7 December).
Last night (7 December) Swedish artist Anna Von Hausswolff was due to play a show in a church in Nantes, but a group of fundamentalist Catholics demonstrating outside the venue, calling the music "satanist", prevented the musician from playing.
As Le Monde reports, the first deputy mayor of Nantes tweeted, "A handful of intolerant radicals causes the cancellation of a concert in ND du Bon-Port scheduled in agreement with the bishopric. Nothing authorized the expression of such censorship. This is not our conception of a social project based on dialogue and cultural openness."
Une poignée de radicaux intolérants provoque l’annulation d’un concert à N-D du Bon-Port programmé en accord avec l’évêché. Rien n’autorisait l’expression d’une telle censure. Ce n’est pas notre conception d’un projet de société fondé sur le dialogue et l’ouverture culturelle.— Bassem ASSEH (@3asseh) December 7, 2021
The sold-out show was scheduled to begin at 9pm local time, and Ouest-France shared a video of the demonstrators outside the venue, shouting, "Saint Mary mother of God, pray for us poor sinners."

Eli Commins, the director of the Lieu unique - who organised the concert - told Ouest-France, "It has already performed in about forty churches or cathedrals and there has never been a problem. There is no religious inspiration, no violence! It just plays the organ, and the organs are found in churches. It's post-metal influenced music. There weren't even any lyrics in the planned performance."

Advantages of Casino Online
Online casinos may seem similar to their real-world counterparts, but there are subtle differences that can make a significant difference in the gambling experience. For example, many online casinos allow players to try games before betting real money, which can help to familiarize them with the rules and mechanics of the game. This is especially helpful for new players who want to test their skills without the risk of losing cash. In addition, online casinos offer loyalty bonuses to reward players for their continued play. These can range from free tournament entry, event tickets and merchandise to cash and credit prizes.
The variety of casino online games is also a major advantage. Unlike brick-and-mortar casinos, which typically limit their selection to the most popular titles, online casinos can change up their offerings on a regular basis. This gives them the freedom to explore new games and find out what their players like, as well as provide plenty of old favorites. Moreover, online casinos are able to update their software frequently, resulting in an even better user experience.
Another benefit of casino online is that it allows players to gamble on their own time frame. While a live casino can be an exciting and sociable place to gamble, it can take time for the dealer or other patrons to get involved in the action. Online casino games, on the other hand, operate on a much faster schedule, which means that you can enjoy more hands or rolls of the dice in a shorter period of time.
Lastly, online casinos are very easy to use and can be accessed from a range of devices. Most online casinos have websites that are optimized for mobile play, and they typically feature a wide range of games, secure transactions and full account management. In addition, some online casinos have dedicated apps available for download on iOS and Android devices.
When choosing a casino online, it is important to consider the security and safety of the site. Look for a website that offers a variety of payment methods, including credit and debit cards, e-wallets such as PayPal, Skrill and Neteller, prepaid cards and cryptocurrencies. Also, look for fast withdrawals and zero or minimal transaction fees.
A comprehensive FAQ section is also a must for any casino online. This can save you time and effort by allowing you to quickly resolve any issues that you may be experiencing. It is also a good idea to look for an online casino that provides detailed information about its ownership and operational practices.
While there are many benefits to playing casino games online, it is important to remember that gambling should always be conducted responsibly. Be sure to set a spending limit before you begin and stick to it. Additionally, be sure to monitor your bankroll and never deposit more than you can afford to lose. It’s also a good idea to play with friends and beware of peer pressure, which can easily lead to expensive bets that you can’t afford to win.

Exporting America: Why Corporate Greed is Shipping American Jobs Overseas
Warner Business, August, 2004.
Hardcover, 208 pages.
Lou Dobbs, host of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, has been a lifelong Republican and fiscal conservative. So when he began his series entitled "Exporting America" he not only shocked the business world, he infuriated the current White House administration (Condi Rice refuses to set foot on his show now). But Lou says he's just being a fiscal conservative and standing up for what's right, and his viewers agree. Dobbs has stated repeatedly that he is not a protectionist, and that he knows that globalization is a trend that cannot be stopped. But that doesn't mean that the U.S. government had to make the process happen ten times faster by giving tax breaks to companies who outsource. He argues that outsourcing of American IT , manufacturing, programming and call center jobs is being done solely because of corporate greed and short-term thinking, and that it is destroying the American middle class. Applications to MIT and other similar schools are down 30%; in twenty years America won't even turn out enough scientists and programmers to do much of anything. The privacy and security implications of processing of medical, legal and financial records overseas are staggering. And even our state governments are outsourcing jobs that could go to state residents. Lou Dobbs is a brave man for speaking up. His book provides some interesting analysis and facts that should be required reading for everyone in this election year.

Fa la la la la la la la la
Well it has already started...the search for new and wonderful Christmas songs! Now I am completely obsessed with Christmas songs in particular, and I enjoy listening to them from about October until January---some people think the "Christmas Spirit" including movies, music and decorations should only last between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, but I disagree. It has always been one of my favorite times of year, and I want to celebrate it as long as possible!!
One of my most recent finds of a fantastic new Christmas song is:
Hallelujah by Darlene Zsech (or however you spell it)
and I just heard
Sing by Josh Wilson which was also pretty powerful!
Anyways, I'm always interested in hearing what other people are finding---anyone find anything interesting???

Paramount+ has released the first trailer for their upcoming “genre-bending” drama-comedy series Guilty Party, coming to the streaming service in October. The series stars Kate Beckinsale as Beth Burgess, a once highly regarded journalist whose life has spun out of control. This is depicted in the brand new trailer as it opens with her receiving an award for her journalism.
One year later, she has become discredited, though the reason why is still unknown, and has been building a reputation that has become fairly damaging to her, something her editor Amber is not afraid to remind her of. The trailer shows her getting into fights, breaking and entering, and getting arrested along with wrestling with a number of personal issues.
A glimmer of hope shines from an unlikely place when she learns the story of Jules Latimer‘s Toni Plimpton, a young mother who was arrested three years ago for the murder of her husband, a crime she still says she didn’t commit, Burgess sees this as an opportunity to revive her career, though is that the right motivation if she truly wants to help Plimpton? Along the way, she will find herself in a world of corruption, gun-smuggling, injustice, and murder — aka the perfect headline story.
The director of Guilty Party is Trent O’Donnell, who will also act as a producer alongside Jimmy Miller, Sam Hansen, Beckinsale, Joe Farrell, Jim Ziegler, Mike Farah, and the show’s writer Rebecca Addelman. Addelman said at a recent panel that they “do leave the season in a place that is begging for a Season 2” and that she “keeps getting pitched non-stop by the boy actors about the next eight seasons.” The show also stars Geoff Stults, Laurie Davidson, Andre Hyland, Tiya Sircar, and Alanna Ubach.
Guilty Party premieres with the first two episodes of its 10-episode first season on Paramount+ on October 14. Watch the new trailer for Guilty Party and read the synopsis of the series down below.
Guilty Party follows Beth Burgess (Beckinsale), a discredited journalist desperate to salvage her career by latching on to the story of a young mother, Toni Plimpton (Latimer), who has been sentenced to life in prison for maiming and murdering her husband, crimes she claims she did not commit. In trying to uncover the truth, Beth finds herself in over her head as she contends with Colorado gun-smugglers, clickbait culture, the doldrums of marriage and her own tarnished past.

UNITED STATES PATENTS 1,195,996 8/1916 Leitch ll9/14.3 7 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures 1 PULSATOR FOR MILKING MACHINES The invention relates to a pulsator for milking machine, having a control piston valve which is reciprocatingly driven and a milk collecting chamber which is periodically connected to a milk collecting line maintained under vacuum, wherein a valve body is located in the milk collecting chamber and is carried by a flexible membrane to periodically close the milk collecting line, this membrane being alternatingly subjected to vacuum and pressure by the control piston valve.
In known pulsators of this type (German Utility Model No. 1.997.538) the milk collecting chamber is periodically connected to the atmosphere through the control piston valve, while the milk collecting line is simultaneously closed. Thereby it is possible for residues to penetrate into the control device and thicken therein, thus inhibiting the accurate functioning of the control piston valve. In addition, lubricants used in the control device may also reach the milk conducting portions of the pulsator, which, of course, is undesirable for sanitary reasons.
The object of the invention is, therefore, to overcome these drawbacks and to avoid the entry of the milk into the control device, on one hand, and a flow of lubricants from the control device into the milk, on the other hand.
This object can be realized, according to the invention, by completely isolating the milk conducting portions of the pulsator from the control system. In a preferred embodiment of the invention this separation is achieved by the fact that the milk collecting chamber is in communication with the atmosphere only through a throttle. In another embodiment of the invention a separate pipe can be provided which connects the milk collecting chamber to the atmosphere by means of a valve which is independent from the control system.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description in connection with the attached drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view of a pulsator according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the pulsator, along line 2-2 in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the invention, in a partially schematical form.
FIG. 1 shows a, pulsator for milking machines, according to the invention, which comprises a multi-part housing 1 provided with a plurality of hose nipples 2, 3, 4, and 6. During operation of the pulsator the hose nipple 2 is permanently connected to a source of pres surized air while the hose nipple 3 is permanently con nected to a vacuum line. The two hose nipples 4 and 5 are connected to respective lines which lead to the usual teat cup which is to be applied to the udder of an animal to be milked. The withdrawn milk is led away through the hose nipple 5. The hose nipple 6 acts as milk collecting line and leads to a milk collecting vessel (not shown) via an interconnected hose or a similar duct.
A control device is located in housing 1 of the pulsator. This device includes a control piston valve 8 which is reciprocatingly driven in a centrally located bore 7. Piston valve 8 is fixedly connected at its upper end to a flexible membrane 9 which divides a space, formed by a cover 10 in the upper part of housing 1, into two chambers 11 and 12. Thesechambers are alternatingly subjected to pressure and vacuum by means which are we'll known in theart as described in my prior US. Pat. No. 3,610,266, granted Oct. 5, 1971, so that the control piston valve 8 is reciprocated vertically by the membrane 9. FIG. 1 shows the control piston valve in its lower position.
The bore 7 is defined by a bushing 13 which is part of the control device and which is fitted into a bore provided in housing 1. The bushing 13 is provided on its outer surface with three annular grooves l4, l5, 16, of which the grooves 14 and 16 are connected to the hose nipples 2 and 3, respectively. The ring groove 15 is connected to the hose nipple 4. In addition, all the grooves 14, 15 and 16 communicate with the bore 7 by means of radially arranged ports 14a, 15a and 16a, respectively. The control piston valve 8 is provided with an annular control groove 17, such that in the upper position (not shown) of the piston valve the two annular grooves 14 and 15 communicate with each other through the groove 17, whereas in the lower position (FIG. 1) of the piston valve the two grooves 15 and 16 are in communication with each other. In addition, housing 1 is provided with a channel 22 extending substantially parallel to the direction of movement of the control piston valve 8, commencing at a transverse bore 23 connected to the hose nipple 4 and ending at the dished under surface of housing 1.
A bottom enclosure 25 is detachably secured to the under surface of housing 1 by means of clamps (not shown) and is provided with the hose nipples 5 and 6. A flexible impermeable membrane 26 is fixedly clamped between bottom part 25 and housing 1 and an elastic valve body 28 is secured thereto, for example by means of a rivet 27, or may be molded integrally with the membrane. The valve body 28 serves the purpose of closing the opening 40 of the milk collecting line 6. The valve body 28, made for example of rubber, closes the opening 40 tightly even if no special valve seat is provided on the latter.
As it can be seen in FIG. 1, relatively narrow gutterlike channels 41 which extend longitudinally of the housing 1 are provided around the lower margin of the housing and lead into an annular space 42located be tween the housing 1 and the bottom part 25. The annular space 42 communicates with the milk collecting chamber 29by means of additional narrow radial chan nels 43 which are located on a horizontal surface of the bottom part 25 (FIG. 2). Thus, the milk collecting chamber 29 is always in communication with theatmosphere through the channels 41, 43 and the annular space 42. However, the channels 41 and/or 43 are so narrow that they act as throttles and only permit a delayed pressure compensation between the atmosphere and the milk collecting chamber 29.
The effect of these channels 41 and 43 is that, in contrast to other embodiments of milking machinepulsators, the milk conveyingparts of the pulsator, that is, the hose nipple 5, the milk collectingchamber 29 and the milk collecting line 6, are completely isolated from the control piston valve 8 of the control device, since the necessary communication. of the milk collecting chamber 29 with the atmosphere is not established through the control piston valve 8. Thus, in the pulsator of the invention the milk cannot reach the control device nor can the lubricant flow from the control device into the milk.
During the milking process thepulsator according to the invention operates as follows: The control piston valve 8 is pulsatoryly driven by the membrane 9 which is controlled by pressurized air. In its upper (not shown) position it connects the hose nipple 2 which is subjected to pressurized air with the hose nipple 4 through the annular groove 14, the groove 17 and the groove 15. The pressure built up in the transverse bore 23 which is connected to the hose nipple 4 extends through channel 22 into the space above membrane 26 and presses this membrane downwards, so that the valve body 28 hermetically closes the opening 40 of the milk collecting line 6 in the milk collecting chamber 29. Simultaneously, the milk collecting chamber 29 is connected with the atmosphere through the channels 41, 43 and the annular space 42.
In the lower end position of the control piston (FIG. 1) the groove 17 connects the two annular grooves 16 and with each other. Since the groove 16 is connected to a vacuum line through the hose nipple 3, a vacuum is also produced in the space located above membrane 26, through channel 22 and transverse bore 23, so that the membrane 26, because of its elasticity, lifts up the valve body 28 from the opening of the milk collecting line 6. In this working phase the milk collecting chamber 29 remains in communication with the atmosphere through channels 41 and 43. However, since these channels act as throttles, the outside air can only slowly penetrate into the milk collecting chamber 29 and does not substantially reduce the vacuum exerted through the milk collecting line 6. Under the effect of the vacuum existing in the milk collecting line the milk is sucked into the milk collecting chamber 29, through the hose nipple 5, and further into the collecting vessel connected to the collecting line 6.
FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of the invention, in which the milk collecting chamber 29 is also completely isolated from the control device. In this case the bottom part of the pulsator is provided with a radial bore 45 entering the milk collecting chamber 29, which is connected by a pipe 46 to a valve 47. Due to hygienic reasons the valve 47 is preferably a membrane valve. The opening and closing of valve 47 is positively controlled by an actuating device 48 and is in communication with the atmosphere through a line 49 and an air filter 51. In the position of the membrane 26, which is shown in FIG. 3, the actuating device 48 keeps the valve 47 closed. Thus, in that position the milk collecting chamber 29 is cut off from the atmosphere. When the valve body 28, which is secured to the membrane 26, closes the opening 40 of the milk collecting line 6, under the effect of the control piston valve 8, the device 48 opens the valve 47, so that now the milk collecting chamber 29 will be connected to the atmosphere through lines 46 and 49, and the air filter 51 prevents dirt particles from entering intothe system. In case the air filter 51 produces a pressure drop which is too high' with respect to the operation of the pulsator,
a pressure source 52 can be coupled to the air filter, as indicated by dotted lines in FIG. 3.
Furthermore, an air filter can also be coupled to the throttles 41, 43 described with relation to the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2 in order to also prevent dirt particles from entering into the system.
In the embodiment of FIG. 3 the valve 47 is controlled by a separate actuating device 48. This device can be omitted if the valve 47 is directly controlled by the control piston valve 8, provided that the control piston valve 8 is correspondingly modified to provide suitable control channels. In this case, the construction of valve 47 as a membrane valve is particularly advantageous, for sanitary reasons.
Other modifications and improvements may be made by those skilled in the art which would come within the scope of the annexed claims.
1. In a pulsator for milking machines, comprising a housing, a control system including reciprocating pneumatically operated control piston means contained in said housing, a milk conveying system including a milk collecting chamber contained in said housing, said milk conveying system including an inlet to be collected with a teat cup and a milk collecting line maintained under vacuum and communicating with said milk collecting chamber said chamber also being provided with a throttled opening in communication with the atmosphere, said control system and said milk conveying system being isolated from each other by means of a flexible impermeable membrane in said housing and common to both systems, one surface of said membrane defining a portion of the wall of the milk collecting chamber, and a valve body secured to said membrane and movable therewith to open and close said milk collecting line in response to the reciprocating movement of said control piston means, whereby contamination of the milk by the lubricant of the reciprocating control piston means is prevented.

A month has passed since Hurricane Maria left Puerto Rico in ruins. Now, the island is facing a multi-pronged health crisis. And people need hospitals.
Enter the the Navy’s East Coast Hospital Ship. The U.S. Department of Defense recently dispatched the ship to care for patients while Puerto Rico’s hospitals get back on their feet. Unfortunately, poor communication has kept residents and doctors from knowing how to access the ship—and heavy rains have limited the island’s use of helicopters to transport ready patients to it.
The barco hospital, as it’s referred to in Spanish, arrived in Puerto Rico on October 4, according to the Department of Defense. It offers emergency facilities capable of basic surgery and postoperative treatment. Since 1987, the USNS Comfort has been to Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean, to provide medical care during humanitarian assistance missions like Continuing Promise 2011. It also supported rescue efforts in New York City after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
The ship is now off the northern coast of Puerto Rico. On Monday, a mother gave birth to a girl, making baby Sara Victoria Llull Rodriguiz the first Boricua born on the ship. Few others, however, have been lucky enough to board the ship and receive its aid, according to a CNN report.
As of Tuesday, per the CNN report, just 33 of the 250 beds available were being used after the ship’s arrival two weeks ago. Meanwhile, 70 assisted hospitals are serving the island’s population of more than 3 million, but just 45 hospitals have electricity.
A big part of the problem is that locals haven’t known how to access the hospital. In response to this confusion, Jorge Matta Gonzalez, the executive director of the Puerto Rico Medical Services Administration, launched a bilingual call center Monday to bring Puerto Ricans to the hospital ship, as well as connect the U.S. citizens to medical professionals who can offer a phone consultation.
Anyone can call the center free of charge, Jesús Vélez, communications director of the health services administration, told Earther. If family members in New York, for example, know that their loved one in Ponce, Puerto Rico, needs medical aid, they can dial the number to request help.
“Once we have a patient’s info, we communicate that with health personnel on the ship and become the referral for the patient,” Vélez told Earther in Spanish. “Then, the clinical personnel and professionals on the boat determine whether to receive the patient and get involved to find the patient, wherever they are, and bring them to the boat if their condition merits it.”
After the boat has decided to receive a patient, the trick is actually getting that patient to the USNS Comfort. What’s reassuring is that patients don’t have to worry about transportation payments; federal relief funds are covering this cost. Once patients are picked up, they’re taken to the Puerto Rican Medical Center in San Juan. From there, doctors make a final decision on whether they need the USNS Comfort.
If they do, they’d fly over via helicopter. Rainy weather conditions are making that tough, though. Helicopters can’t conduct lifts past 4 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time in severe rain, Vélez explained to Earther, but the call center lines are open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week.
The Puerto Rican government is using the press and radio to let its residents know the call center is now available. They’ve also informed hospitals about this new process, Vélez said. Before the Puerto Rican government opened the call center, Gov. Ricardo Rosselló admitted to CNN that the island needs to improve the communication system to bring patients to USNS Comfort.
“The disconnect or the apparent disconnect was in the communications flow,” he told CNN. He requested that the territory revise the situation, and now the call center system exists.
The boat has primarily kept to the northern part of the island, but Vélez speculates it could head south any day now for easier access to those regions. The wait time for pick-up really depends on the situation, Vélez said. The government is offering this service across the entire island, so it might take a while to find people in remote villages. He couldn’t give a rough estimate for what average pick-up times have been for the 150 calls the center received between Monday and Tuesday.
President Donald Trump deployed the hospital ship after receiving criticisms for not doing so—most notably from his former opponent Hillary Clinton.
Tuesday, after CNN published its report on the USNS Comfort’s beds remaining empty, Clinton returned to Twitter with even more thoughts on the crisis.
While the new call center is supposed to help bring Puerto Ricans most in need to the boat, authorities need people to call first. People in Puerto Rico can dial 787-777-3535 extensions 3711, 3712, 3713, 3714, 3715, and 3716 to request immediate medical help.
What remains to be seen is if their requests will be answered. These U.S. citizens can call all they want, but their pleas will amount to nothing if authorities can’t reach them in time.

Many TV shows struggle when their will-they-or-won’t-they characters get together. Where’s the drama if they’re supposed to live happily ever after? Unfortunately, this often means that the writers break those couples up under very dumb, anger-inducing circumstances.
Here are 11 TV couples who split for all the wrong reasons.
11 of the dumbest TV breakups
Willow and Oz, Buffy the Vampire SlayerYes, we know, Willow and Oz splitting up paved the way for Tara to show up, but it was still frustrating to see sweet, caring Oz suddenly get swept into the "allure" of creepy werewolf Veruca. As if he'd turn his back on Willow for that moody girl! No wonder Oz left town afterwards - he must have been so embarrassed.The WB
Casey and Dana, SportsnightAfter finally getting these two together, Sportsnight concocted a ridiculous plot in which Dana asked Casey to date other women for six months before they made their relationship official. Surprise! Her plan backfired, Casey met another woman he liked, and he and Dana never found their way back to each other.ABC
Julie Taylor and Matt Saracen, Friday Night LightsMatt and Julie's romance in the first season of FNL was one of its sweetest plot lines. Which was why it was so frustrating when Season 2 came along and Julie broke up with him out of nowhere for a not-that-cute lifeguard. Yes, Julie finally came to her senses and Matt forgave her, but viewers never really did.NBC
Kelly and both Dylan AND Brandon, Beverly Hills, 90210Midway through 90210's run, Kelly found herself torn between both Brandon and Dylan, and had to choose. Her final choice? Neither of them! "I choose me," she said. No woman is ever required to date anyone, but after weeks of build up, viewers wanted a better resolution than "I refuse to make a decision."FOX
Ross and Rachel, Friends"WE WERE ON A BREAK!" Everyone knows exactly what you're talking about when you say that. Ross and Rachel's breakup split viewers on who was in the right (did Ross cheat? Or were they broken up at the time?), but mostly it annoyed fans by splitting up the characters for YEARS afterwards. Break or not, just get them back together already!NBC
Felicity and Ben, FelicityAt the end of Felicity's run, she and her longtime, on-and-off beau Ben finally seemed to make things work, and it seemed like all was well in the world. Then the show unexpectedly received an extra five episodes to fill, which meant the show had to break them up again, and then actually send Felicity back in time to try to fix her mistakes. (Yes, really.)The WB
Ted and Tracy, How I Met Your MotherOK, technically Tracy actually died at the end of HIMYM, but what made it so maddening was that she clearly died so the writers could get Ted back together with Robin - you know, after the show had spent several seasons showing that he and Robin had grown apart and were no longer right for each other. Fans deserved better, and so did Tracy, who was easily the best part of the show's final season.CBS
Ann and Tom, Parks and RecreationNobody actually wanted Ann and Tom to get together (not even the other characters!), and it just seemed like the writers had run out of ideas. So it was impossible not to roll your eyes when the characters did realize they were wrong for each other, but decided to fake a relationship just so they could prove their nay-sayers wrong. Dumb, dumb, dumb.NBC
JD and Elliot, ScrubsScrubs never made it a secret that JD was kind of an idiot sometimes, but never was it more clear than in season 3 when he decided he was still in love with Elliot. After weeks of pressuring her to break up with her hot boyfriend (played by Scott Foley, for goodness sake!), JD gets Elliot to relent - only for him to immediately decide he doesn't actually love her or want to be with her. Yeesh.NBC
Joan and Adam, Joan of ArcadiaJoan and Adam's sweet, innocent romance was a highlight of Joan of Arcadia's first season, and the show made sure we all knew Adam was a kind, loyal boyfriend. Which is why it made absolutely no sense that in season 2, he began cheating on Joan simply because she wasn't ready to sleep with him yet. The show ended their relationship and destroyed one of their best characters.CBS
Schmidt and Cece, New GirlBesides Zooey Deschanel, these two are one of the most delightful parts of the FOX sitcom, which was why it was so frustrating to see them break up over nearly nothing at the end of season 1. Couldn't they have just talked out their problems? Luckily for fans, eventually they figure it all out and got married at the end of season 5.FOX

Major League Soccer is not the most confrontational of professional sports organizations, but commissioner Don Garber showed this week that he is prepared to fight if his league has been slighted.
Garber came out swinging following the ill-thought criticism of MLS supporters by television pundit Michael Wilbon, co-host of ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption." Wilbon's case was that the practice of throwing streamers onto the field before corner kicks, which happens with regularity at Toronto FC's BMO Field and sporadically elsewhere, is "minor league" and "garbage" and harmful to soccer's reputation.
Now, it would have been easy for Garber to ignore these comments and go about his business of trying to continue MLS' recent and ongoing growth. However, the issue of fan involvement is one guaranteed to raise the ire of those at MLS HQ, as the powers-that-be realize how crucial the phenomenon is to the league's future.
Heavily borrowed from European and South American examples, the involved and interactive fan experience that soccer provides is unique and undeniably special. It is a huge part of why the game is by far the most popular in the world and a factor that Garber and his colleagues believe will, over time, give their league a crucial edge over competing sports.
Garber did not come from a soccer background, but in this episode he showed he firmly is in tune with his fans and the unique selling point that soccer offers. In his weekly blog, he stormed back at the criticism, defending the fans' right to express themselves.
"This is a unique phenomenon that happens all over the soccer world," he said. "We're playing soccer, not baseball, football or basketball. Our fans are a part of the game experience. That's one of our points of difference and part of what will drive our future success.
"There are plenty of sports leagues in the U.S. and we are not trying to offer the same in-stadium experience. We need to embrace the passion and electricity that makes soccer the world's most popular sport."
There are some who will claim that the practice of throwing items – even tiny pieces of paper – simply is a prelude to some of the less savory aspects of soccer fandom around the world, namely hooliganism. But it is a ridiculous stretch to try to draw a link between the two.
All the marketing companies and demographics experts can do as much planning and research as they like. The simple fact is that if fans enjoy themselves they will return.
Toronto FC fans took no time at all to learn how to express themselves once their franchise was founded in 2007, and that example is rubbing off around the league.
They have built their own traditions and superstitions and turned their club into an integral part of the city's sports landscape in about a year. The critics need to calm down and get used to it.


Shriram Alluri aka Alluri is a musician in the midst of a cultural renaissance in Hyderabad's music evolution. Shuttling in between Italy, UK and India, Alluri's musical style is inclusive of Indian vocals coupled with Western compositions. Some of his notable performances at the international stage include the Cambridge Folk Festival in July 2017, Sofar Sounds X Amnesty at Milano in Sep 2017, Transmusicales at Rennes, France in Dec 2017, Tallinn Music Week 2018 at Estonia in April 2018 and at London in 12 June 2018. He was also part of the NH7 Weekender Pune in 2017.Radio City Freedom caught up with the musician ahead of his Indian tour that is scheduled to be held on August 10, 2018 at Hard Rock Caf, Mumbai and Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad on August 18, 2018.A recent website headline hails you as the revolutionary of Telugu rock. How far do you agree with that?Alluri: I will defer to this response: They might very well say that but I could not possibly comment. I do what I do with conviction and leave it all on stage. I can39t influence opinion. In a recent interview, you said that you would ask people to come and watch you play, but instead you were asked about which film you are composing music for. Why do you think are most people not aware about the concept of making music independently unless it does not carry a credible validation?Alluri: Every industry needs a hero. There isn't anyone for music that unifies a massive nation such as India. So I get why the average music consumer might ask that question. But I have met a few ardent music listeners who don't react that way.Is it an instinctive choice to fuse Western elements in your music or is it strategical to widen your audience?Alluri: If I was a strategic person I wouldn't be in the music industry. If I was asked to write Telugu songs before I had actually written them, I would have laughed it off.Why do you think Hyderabad is still at a nascent stage in terms of receiving independent music? Or if you feel the dynamics have changed, how far is the city away from a complete change of perspective?Alluri: Apart from Punjab and few states in the North East there isn't a thriving independent music scene in any other state in India. In Hyderabad there is a small scene where live music is gaining momentum but mostly when the band or artist covers songs. Remains to be seen how perspectives will actually change. But it looks promising currently. Ask me again in five years.Your thoughts about sharing the stage with former Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock.Alluri: I will be playing with him for the first time. The teenager in me is very excited. I hope to tap into that energy on stage. We are already on familiar terms. We recorded a song in Milan earlier this year with Muse39s Producer Tomasso Colliva. He came to watch my gig in London in June this year. So everything is in place for a fun evening at Hard Rock in Worli.What's the set list for the scheduled concerts in Mumbai and Hyderabad?Alluri: I kick the evening off with my Italian band. We play a few of our Telugu and English tunes. Glen will then take the stage and do a brief solo set. We then take the stage and join Glen to finish the set off. A few covers will be played too, to make sure the audience are with us at all times and a Sex Pistols song too to finish!It is a different setlist for Hyderabad with more Telugu songs being played. I can't wait to play the songs from my album on a big stage at Gachibowli Indoor Stadium. We have a Tabla and a Flute player from Hyderabad joining us.

Waring, Sara (2011) An examination of the impact of accountability and blame culture on police judgments and decisions in critical incident contexts. Doctoral thesis, University of Liverpool.
|PDF - Accepted Version |
Available under License Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives.
The following thesis examines the impact of accountability on police judgments and decisions within critical incident contexts. Previous accountability research has often failed to balance experimental control with naturalistic context, thereby preventing the development of an integrated socio-cognitive model. Despite the increase in police accountability over the last few decades (Punch, 2009), there has also been a lack of systematic focus on the influence this evaluation mechanism has on policing. Level of risk posed to public safety in critical incidents and the potential for police actions to increase as well as decrease this risk heightens the importance of identifying and understanding factors that influence police judgments and decisions (Ask & Granhag, 2005). Overall, the thesis seeks to both advance theoretic development and highlight practical implications for policing using a combination of experimental and naturalistic methods and theories from traditional, organisational and naturalistic decision paradigms. Research conducted therefore acknowledges the complexity of policing contexts whilst distinguishing the influence of accountability from other factors. In total, five data chapters are presented that comprise of both qualitative and quantitative data. Qualitative data consists of transcripts from electronic focus groups, debriefs and questionnaires that are analysed using thematic analysis. Quantitative data consists of police responses to a vignette and a simulation. Findings indicate that accountability may influence police judgments and decisions by altering emotions, motivational goals and attention focus. The influence of this social mechanism may depend on police perceptions of the organisational culture driving the form accountability takes. This thesis will highlight that accountability is most likely to encourage optimal performance when police view the organisation to provide a supportive environment with legitimate and fair appraisal mechanisms. This is in contrast to an unfair, illegitimate environment driven by a culture of blame. Within a supportive environment, police are more likely to be motivated by accuracy than self-preservation. A supportive environment also encourages attention to remain focussed on providing judgments and decisions suitable for the situation rather than becoming distracted by anxiety over the potential to be blamed and punished.
