Selma Stern-Taeubler attended the University of Heidelberg and started working a historian before the outbreak of World War I. By 1938, working on the third volume of her study of Jews in Prussia, she was forbidden access to libraries and had to seek help to save her manuscripts from destruction. In 1941, she fled to the United States on the last ship from Germany. Once there, she became first archivist of the American Jewish Archives at Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati. In 1946, she wrote a novel set during the Black Death, and in a later book she discussed the parallels between the accusations against Jews in that period and the Holocaust. Stern-Taeubler continued her scholarship of Jewish history until her death.
A sage once said: “What one can understand, one can endure.” This adage became the watchword of Selma Stern-Taeubler over the course of her lengthy and productive career as historian and archivist. In the preface to her book The Court Jew (1950), Stern-Taeubler charged her fellow Jews in the aftermath of World War II to use the “tragedy and inexorableness of our present experience … to view our past more objectively than before … [because] understand[ing] our road through the centuries can make our destiny easier to bear.” She herself had been a refugee who escaped Berlin on the last ship headed to America in 1941.
Selma Stern-Taeubler was born on July 24, 1890, in Kippenheim (Baden), Germany, to Dr. Julius and Emilie (Durlacher) Stern. In 1901, the bourgeois family moved to Baden-Baden, where her father developed a medical practice with a swelling international clientele. The middle of three daughters, Selma used the pages of her teenage diary both to ponder weighty philosophical issues such as the existence of God and to try her hand at poetry on themes as wide-ranging as young love and premature death. Her precociousness led her, in 1904, to become the first girl to be accepted to the Baden-Baden humanities gymnasium, from which she graduated in 1908 with honors.
That same year, despite her father’s untimely death, Selma’s mother provided for her daughter to continue her studies in history at the University of Heidelberg. Shortly before the outbreak of World War I, she graduated summa cum laude and moved to Frankfurt-am-Main to live with her mother and younger sister. Her reactions to World War I are captured in her diary. While retaining her admiration for German culture, history, and literature, she also expressed her growing alienation from German politics. Jews like herself, she claimed, were strangers in Germany as well as being estranged from Jewish culture and religion. And, in fact, she ultimately would shift the focus of her studies from German history to German-Jewish history.
To this end, Stern-Taeubler accepted an invitation to become a research fellow at the newly founded Akademie für die Wissenschaft des Judentums in Berlin. She became intrigued with its director, Eugen Taeubler, and his novel historical approach that sought to understand the particularities of the Jewish experience by examining the political and cultural context out of which it emerged. Eventually the two were married in 1927. A series of diary entries from 1944 reveals, however, that as the years passed, Stern-Taeubler felt “psychologically separated” from her husband. Devoted years of service to him had been met with a “lack of love and fits of anger.” As she put it: “What I had initially perceived [in him] to be self-confidence was really selfishness; what I had initially perceived to be the shy disguise of insecurity and apprehension was really arrogance.”
Stern-Taeubler began to compose the first two volumes of her magnum opus Der preussische Staat und die Juden [The Prussian state and the Jews], a study of Jewry in eighteenth-century Prussia, in the late 1920s—a period when the liberalism she described in her book still persisted in Germany. By the time she began work on the third volume, though, her world had changed radically and her belief in tolerance and emancipation could no longer withstand contemporary historical reality. In 1938, when the Nazis forbade Stern-Taeubler to study in the library and archives in Berlin, Leo Baeck and other friends assisted her in copying documents that had become inaccessible to her, as well as helping to salvage her manuscripts from destruction. She immigrated to the United States in 1941 with her husband.
The two became part of the academic community at Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, he as a professor of history, she as the first archivist of the American Jewish Archives of the college. Seeking perhaps to comprehend the tragic events occurring in Europe, Stern-Taeubler turned temporarily to belles lettres, producing a novel set in the period of the Black Death (1348–1349), entitled The Spirit Returneth (1946). (The original German title is better translated as “You Are My Witnesses.”) She dedicated the book to the “martyrs of my people” and explained elsewhere that “it [was] possible to draw a parallel between the host desecration and ritual murder accusations … and the horrors of the gas chambers and concentration camps” (preface to Josel of Rosheim, 1965).
In 1956, the year in which Eugen Taeubler died, Stern-Taeubler received an honorary degree from Hebrew Union College. Four years later, upon retiring from the American Jewish Archives, Stern-Taeubler moved to Basel, Switzerland, where she continued to write until her death on August 17, 1981.
American-Jewish academe has largely undervalued Stern-Taeubler’s contribution to Jewish history. It would seem that Eugen Taeubler’s highly regarded scholarship unfairly overshadowed Selma Stern-Taeubler’s scholarly achievements.

We’re winding down towards the end of the decade. To celebrate, I’d enjoy going through all my favorite shows from this decade. Unfortunately, there are waaaaaay too many shows to talk about! Many of which I’ve discussed before. Others of which deserve their time in the limelight!
So today, I’m going to focus on one show in particular. One that I’ve mentioned in the past, but never in as much depth as it deserves. Today, I’m going to review my favorite anime of all time. It’s finally time to take a good, long look at March Comes in Like a Lion!
This show has everything I look for in a good drama! Story and characters? Depressing, inspiring, and memorable! Animation? Stellar! Music? Catchy as hell! Everything about this show is absolutely incredible!
Which makes it all the more strange that no one has been talking about it! Seriously, why isn’t this show any bigger than it is?!
Story: A Sad Boy and All His Secretly Sad Friends
March Comes in Like a Lion (or MCILAL, as I shall be calling it from henceforth) is a show that masterfully balances two wildly conflicting tones. On one hand, you have one of the most emotionally resonant, heart-wrenching dramas that I’ve ever seen. On the other, you have one of the cutest, most comfortable slice-of-life shows you could ever experience! Neither one of these tones ever come into conflict with one another. Instead, they come together to form a perfectly balanced viewing experience. A Yin and Yang dynamic, if you will.
Rei Kiriyama is a shogi prodigy, having earned pro status while still in middle school. He lives in a small apartment in a river town on his own, having left his adopted family for *spoilers redacted*. We follow him, along with the three Kawamoto sisters who befriended him, throughout his daily routine as he struggles with school, keeping up with his competitors at shogi, and grappling with his depression and the ghosts of his past. All the while, we get a look into the lives and sorrows of all those around him.
This show has all the necessary set pieces that I enjoy in a series. The list of characters is huge, but each one is given more than enough time in the spotlight to get the development they need! Very few characters feel relegated to simple comedic gags, although there certainly are a few of those. But the number of interesting, developed characters far outweigh the number of one-dimensional gag characters.
The story itself is perfectly paced. The initial few episodes are fairly slow and calm, taking their time in introducing new characters and further developing the ones already there. Each event smoothly flows into the next, giving the show a constant sense of progression. Sure, none of the events are really all that big. But each one moves into the next smoothly.
Some of which will make you feel good. Others will make you curl into a ball and cry into your sheets.
Now, there are more than a few scenes where the story grinds to a halt. It’s in these scenes where the characters will simply sit around and talk about food. Personally, I like to think that these were all in the manga (which hasn’t been localized in English, so I haven’t read it) and the writer just got really hungry and translated that onto the page. Still, it does occasionally kill the pacing.
Even with these scenes included, I love every minute of this show! It’s a very simple story, one firmly grounded in reality, that manages to perfectly tackle a large serious of heavy and serious topics. It is depressing, but it never wallows in the tone, using it rather to make the moments of joy all that brighter.
And I still haven’t discussed my favorite part of the show!
Presentation: All the Little Details
In its initial seasons, this show has a very distinct visual style. Particularly with the character designs and their lips. But that design does become a bit more in-line with typical anime as the show goes on. Still, that doesn’t stop it from being the most gorgeous thing I ever did see!
Let’s start with those character designs! I love every single one of them! Each of them is very simple, given the realistic tone of the show, but they’re each still incredibly effective! No one character looks like another. Each design offers subtle insights into their characters, such as Kiriyama’s blank eyes or Nikaido’s round, balloon-like body. Artistically speaking, these characters are as much of a knockout as they are in the writing department!
Now, the environments. Holy shit, these are pretty! They’re all bright, colorful, and extremely detailed! Then, during the night, the scene seems to transform, taking on a whole new color and shine! Sure, there are some corners cut with CGI, but they’re all such little and unimportant details that it doesn’t matter! Never once does the CGI take you out of the show!
Oh, and the music! Holy shit the music is so good! Each track ranges from quiet and melancholic to quiet and oddly intense! Every single piece of music is memorable and catchy! I don’t know where to find this soundtrack, but I need to find it!
And the animation! Oh my god, the animation! In its more calm moments, the show still moves smoothly, with each frame being excellently animated! But then it gets to the more intense moments and the animation completely changes! These uniquely animated scenes have the quality of a high budget animated film, with some of the most imaginative and effective visuals I’ve ever seen! God damn, are they gorgeous! I mean, just look at this shot!
TL;DR: this show looks fucking amazing! Every single animator who worked on it brought their A-game and it is absolutely amazing! Visually speaking, it is a joy from beginning to end!
I could go on and on about everything I love about this show. I could write articles just as long as this one about each character, about each story arc, and break down exactly why they work so well! In fact, I just might sometime in the future! But for now, I’ll leave you off with this.
Watch this god damn show. Please, for the love of God, watch this show! It is an absolute accomplishment, one of the best anime ever produced! If you love quiet, character-driven drama, this is the perfect show for you!
Also, I want a season three. Like, really badly.

Love Illuminated: Exploring Life's Most Mystifying Subject (with the Help of 50,000 Strangers) Hardcover – February 4, 2014

“A provocative, insightful, and deeply humane meditation on ‘life’s most mystifying subject’... Jones ... proves an exceptional guide -- droll, compassionate, nonjudgmental -- through all of love’s many phases.” (Elle)
From the Back Cover
Love is unrivaled in its power to thrill, crush, and sustain. No subject in human history has been more thoroughly examined. And yet, as desperately as we have tried to unlock love's mysteries—to "decode" it through scientific experimentation, philosophical inquiry, and even mathematical algorithms—do we really understand love any better today than Shakespeare did nearly five hundred years ago?
As the editor of a column about love in the New York Times, Daniel Jones has been privy to the deepest personal revelations of tens of thousands of strangers. Deluged with stories of scheming cheaters, hopeless romantics, racy texts, and fierce devotion, he has spent much of the past decade wading through love's muck and majesty—and has taken plenty of notes along the way. In Love Illuminated, he uses his unique perspective to tease apart life's most mystifying subject.
Drawing from the 50,000 tales of love that have crossed his desk, Jones traces the arc of human relationships through ten phases, starting with the pursuit, destiny, vulnerability, connection, and trust of new love, and then turning to the practicality, monotony, infidelity, loyalty, and wisdom of love matured. With empathy and wry humor, he takes readers on an enlightening journey through the highs, lows, and enduring unknowns of this universal experience that rattles the head and stirs the heart.
As Jones explains, "Love is about curiosity, not certainty. It's about tossing oneself overboard into the wild seas, not remaining safely on deck."
In Love Illuminated, he pulls us into the depths of love in all its contradictions and complexities, offering glimmers of understanding along with the comforts of shared experience.
Top customer reviews
Reading this book was extremely enlightening, in that it points out the realism of love and marriage very bluntly. The author doesn't try to sugarcoat things or make things sound better than they seem - he writes it as he sees it. The truth is, relationships are hard. Love is hard. Marriage is hard. But, like all things in life, a little effort every day goes a long way. Daniel Jones talks about each stage of a relationship, and illuminates certain truths with anecdotes and stories from his stint as the editor of a relationship column on the NY Times.
I think it's important to go into this book with a positive mindset; there is a lot to be learnt about how to be a better partner (or a better person in general), as long as you don't let the depressing undertones of the book get to you.

Status / Details
- Courtesy Post
Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue is helping facilitate the adoption of this cat. We take no responsibility for the health and medical records of this cat. It is the responsibility of the owner and adopter to discuss this. Kyna is not in a Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue foster home but residing with her current owner in Sacramento, CA. Find out more about Courtesy Post Cats here.
2-3 Year Old, F, Nebelung/Russian Blue Mix
Kyna is a sweet, pretty and still a bit shy little Nebelung/Russian Blue mix with medium haired soft fur. Her current owner couldn’t leave this precious girl behind in the shelter because the shelter decided that Kyna was too shy to get adopted. They put her with the indoor feral colony and poor little Kyna became very depressed.
When her owner first brought her home, Kyna was of course scared but with love and patience her current family has helped her become a new cat. The only reason they need to rehome her is because both husband and wife are suffering from severe cat allergies.
Kyna is still scared of loud noises (although she is ok with the vacuum cleaner) and please expect her to be nervous around new people, but when she starts trusting you, she is quite a loving little bear who enjoys playing with string toys and wrestles with small plush toys. She is a loving cat and has a cute meow!
Her ideal home will be with a mature person or a loving couple who have a mellow cat or who had a shy cat before and understand that Kyna needs patience to evolve and to become comfortable in her new environment. There is something so very special when we humans get to enjoy the progress a shy kitty makes when we are able to provide her or him with love, affection and patience. Just gazing at such a perfect little being makes caring for a kitty something very magical and rewarding.
Her current owners want Kyna’s new family to know that although this little lady prefers not to be picked up, she likes to cuddle next to you. At first she might be quite scared and will try to hide but if you are gentle and patient, she will let you pet her (you can expect her purr motor to start at that time) and later on she will come out to see you.
She eats high quality grain free dry and wet food, which is a mixture of Acana Meadowlands dry food (Champion Pet Foods) and Nulo turkey and salmon medal series wet food.
Please note that Kyna is not in a Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue foster home but residing with her current owner in Sacramento, CA.

Steamboat Springs Sunday marked the return of Steamboat's commercial tubing fleet to the Yampa River. Operators were in a buoyant mood as they anticipated the return of revenues following a 2002 season wiped out by drought.
This week also marks the first time the tubes have been on the water since tension surfaced in the Dream Island neighborhood along the river on Steamboat's west side.
"We're excited. It's good to be back on the water. Everybody is getting dumped out of their tube in the C-Hole right now," said Randy Pruitt of Buggywhips at Blue Sky West. "It really is a huge revenue generator for many businesses in town."
Tubing companies took themselves off the river last summer after less than two weeks of operation because of extremely low flows in the Yampa.
Still, opposition to commercial tubing surfaced in the Dream Island mobile home park last fall when heavy equipment entered the river to carry out city-funded river improvements.
The city's strategic placement of rocks is intended to make the river better for fishermen, kayakers and tubers. The residents, many with decks cantilevered out over the rive bank, saw it as an invasion of their privacy.
One man was arrested after he fired two shots in the general direction of the equipment working in the river, another lay down in front of the trackhoes and a third posted no trespassing signs along the river.
This summer, tubing companies placed a large sign in the river below the 13th Street Bridge reminding their clients that Dream Island is a quiet zone.
Resident Don Woodsmith is dubious about how effective the sign will be.
"I woke up Sunday and I could hear a guy shouting, 'Do you believe that sign that said quiet zone? Ha, ha, ha, ha.' I had my slider open and I had just pulled on my underwear when they floated by. They were waving at me!" Woodsmith said.
The city of Steamboat Springs regulates commercial activity along the river, largely because it owns the put-in and take-out points. Chris Wilson, director of parks, recreational services and open space for the city, said his department doesn't regulate private tubers.
They are free to purchase their own flotation devices and use them on the upper town section of the Yampa. He said it's been his casual observation that commercial tubing clients are likely to be more educated about river etiquette and the need to respect private property. He added that a city ordinance does prohibit anyone from carrying open containers of alcoholic beverages on the river.
Wilson said the tubing industry is in the midst of a two-year trial period for the regulations. The operators formerly operated further upstream, but the city resolved that in the future they would put in at the Fifth Street bridge and lower. That step was taken to clear up a dispute with fly fishing interests.
"This year will give us a lot more data," Wilson said.
The city has hired a consulting firm to study recreational use of the river. The current phase calls for it to survey residents about their preferences.
The results of the survey will be analyzed in a public and well-publicized manner, he said. Ultimately, the information will be used by the Parks and Recreation Commission to make a recommendation to the City Council about the future of recreational activities on the river.
"If somebody wants to put their two cents into the discussion, this summer is a good time," Wilson said.
Again this summer, the city will monitor the industry to ensure it is adhering to the limits and other regulations. The total number of commercial tubes allowed on the river is 433 on weekdays, and goes up to 500 on Fridays and 915 on weekends, Wilson said. That doesn't mean the quotas are full every day.
Wilson said the companies may not send trips down the river before 10:30 a.m. and may not send them off later than 4 p.m. The intent is to have them off the river before residents get home from work.
John Kole of One Stop Ski Shop said his tubing clients are asked to read and sign a copy of tubing regulations and etiquette.
Kole is not the largest tubing operator on the river -- he is permitted about 30 tubes on weekdays and 55 on weekends. Still, he missed the cash flow that evaporated with last year's drought.
"We got through by the grace of God," Kole said.
Pruitt's company faced a double whammy as it lost both tubing and guided fishing revenue. He said the loss was in the thousands of dollars.
"We're fortunate to have patient investors," Pruitt said.
Pruitt added that several tubing operators have combined to share shuttle vans this year, reducing the amount of vehicle trips their clients generate.
Woodsmith acknowledges that plenty of good-hearted tubers will show some level of respect for his home this summer.
But even friendly tubers can represent an intrusion on his peace and quiet.
"Today, some people came down and they were quiet. But every other person wants to say hello," Woodsmith laughed.

Perhaps the best known of the Tales of the Thousand and One Nightsare those about Sindbad the Sailor. For centuries, people have been fascinated by the stories of a simple, sometimes confused, sailor who mistakes a giant whale for a lovely island and the egg of the Roc (a bird so huge that she can carry an elephant in her talons) for a mountain. Sindbad encounters many dangers, but he prevails in this irresistible trilogy, thanks to nothing but his own wits. Ludmila Zeman’s exciting text and lavish illustrations have made Sindbad, Sindbad in the Land of Giants, and Sindbad’s Secretan international and critical success.
About the Author
Accomplished filmmaker, author, and illustrator LUDMILA ZEMAN was born in the Czech Republic. She is the daughter of well-known Czech film director Karel Zeman.

It is well-known that composite bonding in Turkey cost is the most affordable, competitive, and beneficial for international patients, especially those from the UK. Dentistry does not stand still and is constantly evolving, thanks to which the texture and colour of composite materials have been significantly improved and bring flawless results while enhancing the aesthetics of patients’ smiles. Composite bonding (veneers) helps to correct small dental defects, such as chips, cracks, stains, discolouration, and interdental spaces. Sign up for an inspection with a highly qualified specialist at FindGlob right now!
With the help of a smile design, you can permanently get rid of dental defects such as chips, cracks, stains, yellow teeth, interdental spaces, malocclusion, and unsatisfactory shape and size of teeth.
Table of Contents
A Composite Bonding: What Is It?
Composite bonding teeth Turkey (also known as composite veneers Turkey or composite restoration) is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that uses a special composite material to improve the smile aesthetics.
The composite material can mimic the natural colour and texture of tooth enamel, so it can correct a variety of cosmetic problems, such as:
- tooth cracks and chips;
- uneven shape or size of teeth;
- interdental gaps;
- stains and pigmentation on the teeth;
- the unhealthy smile appearance.
The dentist applies a composite material layer to the tooth surface and models it to create the desired shape and colour during dental bonding. Then the material is fixed on the tooth using a special light device.
How Much Is Composite Bonding in Turkey?
As a rule, composite bonding Turkey price ranges from £140 to £160. However, these are only indicative figures, and the final dental bonding cost Turkey can only be determined after consultation with a doctor. It is important to note that the teeth bonding Turkey price is usually lower than in the UK. It is due to differences in the level of costs for medical services and the general level of prices in different countries.
In addition, the teeth bonding Turkey cost may also vary depending on the chosen clinic and its reputation, the materials and cutting-edge technologies used, and additional services that may be included in the composite bonding Turkey package.
Composite Bonding in Turkey: Indications
Teeth bonding Turkey is a procedure that can be recommended for different patients and cases. The indications for composite bonding at FindGlob are as follows:
dental defects such as chips, cracks, bumps, and small holes, because the treatment allows the doctor to restore the shape and natural appearance of the tooth;
uneven or misaligned smile (composite restoration can create a more even and symmetrical smile);
interdental gaps (diastema);
stained or discoloured teeth;
improving the smile aesthetics (the treatment allows the doctor to change the shape, colour, and texture of the teeth to create a more attractive and natural-looking smile).
How Is the Composite Bonding Treatment Performed?
The cosmetic bonding Turkey procedure is restoring dental treatment using a special composite material. Below you can find the order in which the treatment is carried out.
- Conducting an examination and assessment of the condition of the teeth. If necessary, the teeth can be lightly prepared.
- Choosing a composite material that is closest to the patient’s natural teeth.
- Mixing resin and stain (if needed) to match the exact tooth shade.
- Applying the composite to the tooth surface and carefully modelling it to create the desired shape and contour.
- Using a special UV lamp to cure the material.
- Carrying out polishing to give the tooth a natural shine and smoothness.
- Final check.
Composite Veneers Advantages and Disadvantages
Turkey teeth composite bonding has several benefits making it a popular method of restoring teeth. Also, this procedure has a few minor drawbacks, like any other dental treatment.
Composite Veneers Advantages
the natural appearance and the ability to shade the composite material following the colour of the patient's natural teeth;
minimal loss of enamel, unlike other methods such as crowns or veneers;
fast execution from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the restoration's complexity;
the ability to perform bonding in one visit;
relatively low cost compared to crowns or veneers;
restoration of small defects such as chips, irregularities, gaps between teeth, or changes in the shape of teeth.
Composite Veneers Disadvantages
As with any treatment, dental bonding has some of the following disadvantages to be aware of:
composite materials can be prone to staining and discolouration over time, especially if you have a habit of consuming foods that can stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, or smoking;
composite materials can wear down over time, especially if they are subjected to heavy chewing or if you grind your teeth, which can lead to small chips or loss of shine;
composite materials may be less durable than other materials, such as ceramic;
composite materials may be less effective in correcting severe tooth defects or reshaping teeth.
Composite Bonding vs. Porcelain Veneers: What Is the Difference?
Composite bonding veneers Turkey and porcelain veneers at FindGlob are two different cosmetic dentistry procedures that improve the appearance of teeth.
- Dental bonding uses a special composite material, and porcelain veneers are made from thin ceramic plates created in a dental laboratory.
- Porcelain veneers are made from ceramic, which is long-lasting. They will usually last much longer than composite bonding and are less prone to staining and wear.
- The procedure for installing porcelain veneers requires several visits to the specialist. Dental bonding can be completed in one visit.
- Porcelain veneers are usually more expensive than composite bonding as they require fabrication in a dental lab and more complex treatment.
How Long Does Composite Bonding Last?
Composite dental treatment Turkey durability depends on several factors. Cosmetic bonding can last 5 to 10 years on average. However, the duration may be even longer.
Regular and proper dental care and oral hygiene can significantly affect the duration of cosmetic bonding. Regular brushing and visiting the dentist will help keep your bonding in good condition.
Consumption of colouring drinks, coffee, tea, or smoking can cause discolouration of the composite bonding and reduce its durability.
FAQs About Composite Bonding in Turkey
Yes, teeth are usually partially ground before the composite bonding treatment. This procedure creates enough space for the composite material layer applied to the teeth.
Grinding the teeth also helps to ensure good adhesion (bond) between the tooth and the composite material, providing the durability and stability of the bonding.
As a general rule, tooth grinding for dental bonding is minimal and too much dental tissue is not removed. The dentist will make the tooth surface grinding using special tools and abrasive materials.
Yes, composite bonding can be removed if needed. The procedure for removing cosmetic bonding is called debonding.
Debonding can be performed by a dentist using special tools such as dental burrs or bonding tools. The dentist will carefully separate the layer of composite material from the tooth surface, minimising possible damage to the tooth enamel.
However, it is essential to note that debonding should only be performed by a qualified dentist, as improper removal of dental bonding can damage tooth enamel or cause discomfort. Remember that you should not try to remove composite veneers yourself.
After a composite bonding treatment, there are a few things to avoid for the long and quality result. Here are some recommendations:
- avoid the consumption of colouring products (coffee, tea, red wines, and berries, and smoking) during the first 48 hours after the bonding treatment;
- avoid hard and sticky foods (hard meats, nuts, hard candies, and chewing gum) in the first few days after the treatment;
- be careful when brushing your teeth after the bonding treatment: avoid strong pressure on the teeth and use a soft toothbrush;
- try not to use your teeth to open packages or bite on hard objects like pencils or pens, as this can damage the composite or even break teeth.

 1. Statement of the Technical Field
 The present invention relates to storage system caching and more particularly to the management of cached data in a storage system.
 2. Description of the Related Art
 The vast majority of network devices process device requests indiscriminately. That is, regardless of the identity of the requestor or the type of request, each device request can be processed with equal priority. Given the exponential increase in network traffic across the Internet, however, more recent network-oriented computing devices have begun to provide varying levels of computing services based upon what has been referred to as a “policy based service differentiation model”.
 In a policy based service differentiation model, the computing devices can offer many levels of service where different requests for different content or services which originate from different requesters receive different levels of treatment depending upon administratively defined policies. In that regard, a service level agreement (SLA) can specify a guaranteed level of responsiveness associated with particular content or services irrespective of any particular requester. By comparison, quality of service (QoS) terms specify a guaranteed level of responsiveness minimally owed to particular requestors.
 The policy based service differentiation model is the logical result of several factors. Firstly, the number and variety of computing applications which generate requests across networks both private and public has increased dramatically in the last decade. Each of these applications, however, has different service requirements and differentiated business value. Secondly, technologies and protocols that enable the provision of different services having different levels of security and QoS have become widely available. Yet, access to these different specific services must be regulated because these specific services can consume important computing resources such as network bandwidth, memory and processing cycles. Finally, business objectives or organizational goals can be best served when discriminating between different requests rather than treating all requests for computer processing in a like manner.
 As device requests flow through the network and ultimately, to a file system communicatively linked to a storage system, the storage system can provide the terminal point of data access. More particularly, in response to many data requests originating in a network, a file storage device such as re-writable media ultimately physically retrieves the requested data. Accordingly, data caching systems at all levels of the network replicate data that ultimately can be physically retrieved from file storage. Like other elements of the network, however, In high request volume circumstances, response times attributable to file storage access can add considerable costs to the overall response time, as compared to responses generated from cache retrievals.
 The present invention overcomes the limitations of conventional, non-discriminatory storage systems and provides a novel and nonobvious discriminatory storage system and method for enforcing a service discrimination policy within a storage system. In particular, in accordance with the present invention, a discriminatory storage system can include re-writable storage; a storage system controller; a cache; and, a QoS enforcement processor configured to selectively evict entries in the cache according QoS terms propagated into the storage system through the storage system controller.
 In that regard, a cache eviction method can be performed in the storage system. The cache eviction method can include categorizing entries in a cache according to common QoS metrics. Categorizations whose entries consume an excessive portion of the cache can be identified. For example, a weighted average of entries in the cache can be computed for each of the categorized entries. Subsequently, categorizations can be identified which have a weighted average which exceeds a corresponding preferred allocation. In any case, an entry can be evicted from among one of the identified categorizations. In particular, the evicting step can include evicting an entry from among one of the identified categorizations whose weighted average most exceeds the corresponding preferred allocation. Moreover, the entry can be evicted according to a cache replacement methodology selected from the group consisting of least recently used, first-in first-out, last-in first out, and least frequently used.
 In a preferred aspect of the present invention, the computing step can be performed for each category. Mathematically, then, for each category from among “j” total categories, an average can be computed according to the equation: Requests(QoS Metricj)/Requests(Total). Subsequently, each computed average can be weighted by QoS Metricj. Importantly, to prevent disk thrashing which can result from those instances where the computed weighted average marginally exceeds the corresponding preferred allocation, a threshold hysterisis value can be established. Subsequently, only those categorizations which have a weighted average which exceed the corresponding preferred allocation by at least the threshold hysterisis value can be identified.
 There are shown in the drawings embodiments which are presently preferred, it being understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities shown, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a data communications network employing both network attached storage (NAS) and a storage area network (SAN) to which QoS data can be propagated in order to enforce QoS terms in the NAS and SAN; and,
FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating a process for enforcing QoS terms in a caching component of a storage system, such as the NAS and SAN of FIG. 1.
 The present invention is a system and method for enforcing QoS terms in a caching component of a storage system. In accordance with the present invention, QoS information specifying the QoS terms can be propagated from the data communications network to the storage system. In particular, the QoS information can be included as part of a request to retrieve data from the storage system. Upon receipt, the storage system both can retrieve the requested data and also the storage system can manage associated caching components using the QoS terms as a criteria for performing cache eviction. In this way, the caching components of the storage system can be optimized not absolutely, but according to the QoS terms.
 Though the cache eviction policies of the present invention can be applied to the caching components of any particular storage system, including direct attached storage (DAS), in accordance with the present invention, the QoS oriented caching policies can be applied to the caching components of a NAS or a SAN. In that regard, FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of an exemplary data communications network employing both a NAS and a SAN to which QoS data can be propagated in order to enforce QoS terms in the NAS and SAN. The data communications network 105 can include both a multitude of client computing devices 110 communicatively linked to server computing devices 115.
 In operation, client 110 requests for data can be forwarded to the servers 115. The servers 115 can respond to individual requests from the clients 110 in part by retrieving the requested data from a storage system. In the exemplary configuration, the storage system can include a SAN 150 having associated therewith one or more controlling SAN servers 130 and associated storage devices 145, each server 130 and storage device 145 potentially having a corresponding cache 135, 155. According to the exemplary configuration, the storage system alternatively can include a NAS 120 having a corresponding cache 125. Of course, as one skilled in the art will recognize, the invention is not limited to any particular arrangement of NAS and SAN components. In fact, DAS can be provided in lieu of or in combination with the NAS 120 and SAN 140 systems of FIG. 1. Thus, any arrangement of storage systems can suffice so long as the requested content can be retrieved from at least one storage system.
 Data can be stored in the storage system, whether the storage system includes a DAS, NAS, or SAN architecture, according to the identity of the provider of the data. More particularly, in accordance with the inventive arrangements, QoS terms, which differentiate among different requestors of data or different types of data requested, can provide guidelines for caching data in the storage systems, for instance the NAS 120 or the SAN 140. To facilitate the identification of the requestor or the type of data requested, an associated QoS metric 150 can be included with request for data.
 Responsive to receiving requests to retrieve data from storage, controlling components in each storage system 120, 140, such as a storage system processor or RAID controller, can cause the retrieval of the requested data from their respective caches 125, 135, 155 where available. When the requested data cannot be located in a corresponding cache 125, 135, 155, the controlling component can retrieve the requested data directly from re-writable media. In that case, once retrieved the data can be stored in the cache 125, 135, 155 as a new cache entry.
 Importantly, though illustrated in a simplified manner in FIG. 1, the skilled artisan will recognize that caching components 125, 135 and 155 need not be directly linked to any one particular storage component in the storage system 120, 140. Rather, it will be understood that storage systems such as the NAS 120 and the SAN 140 can include a multitude of nested or parallel storage components and corresponding caching components. In consequence, it is expected that the QoS metrics can be propagated throughout the storage systems 120, 140 to the extent necessary to enforce the QoS terms within corresponding caching components as desired by the configurator of the respective storage systems 120, 140.
 Returning now to FIG. 1, as is well known in the art, where a cache has been completely, or nearly completely populated with data, stale cache entries ordinarily are removed according to the proven cache eviction techniques in an effort to make room for new cache entries. Conventional cache eviction techniques include least recently used (LRU), first-in first-out (FIFO), last-in first-out (LIFO), and the like. In the present invention, however, cache entries are removed according to a modified cache eviction process 200 which removes cache entries not only according to conventional cache eviction rules, but also in consideration of the priority of the cached data in relation to the QoS terms associated with the cached data.
FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating a process for enforcing QoS terms during a cache eviction process in a caching component of a storage system, such as the NAS and SAN of FIG. 1. Beginning in block 205, a request can be received in the storage system to retrieve data stored therein. In this regard, the request can be received either in a storage controller directly associated with the storage media as would be the case with a NAS or DAS, or in a storage controller remotely associated with the storage media, as would be the case with a SAN. Of course, in each case of the DAS, NAS and SAN, multiple storage controllers can provide caching and, in consequence, the request can be propagated to selected storage components in the DAS, NAS and SAN.
 Notably, the request can include a QoS metric identifying the requestor of the data and/or types of data requested for retrieval or the priority of the requestor of the data and/or types of data requested for retrieval. For example, the QoS metric can include an integer number within the range of one and ten indicating that data having a QoS metric of ten will receive ten times better service in the storage component than data having a QoS metric of one. Of course, it will be understood that the invention is not strictly limited to the nature of the QoS metric so long as the QoS metric indicates a relative priority of the requestor of the data or the type of data requested either through an identification of the requestor or the type of data requested, an association between the QoS metric and a level of service, or a direct indication of the level of service to be provided to the requester or the type of data requested.
 To ensure backwards compatibility with storage systems which do not support the cache eviction policy of the present invention, optionally in decision block 210 the storage system component can ignore the QoS metric. Otherwise, in decision block 215 in can be determined whether the requested data has been previously cached. If so, in block 245 the data can be served from the cache and no further action will be required. If, in decision block 215, however, the requested data cannot be located in cache memory, the data can be retrieved and served from fixed storage in block 220.
 Importantly, as in block 220 the requested data will not have been located in cache memory, the retrieved data can be stored in cache memory in block 240 if, in decision block 225, it is determined that the cache can accommodate the new entry without requiring an eviction of existing data in cache memory. If, however, in decision block 225 it is determined that a cache eviction must occur to accommodate the new entry, the cache eviction process of the present invention not only can perform a cache eviction according to conventional cache replacement methodologies, but also the cache eviction process can select certain groups of data to be considered by the conventional cache replacement methodologies according to the propagated QoS terms.
 Specifically, in one aspect of the present invention, cache eviction can be performed according to a weighted average of requests for data associated with a particular QoS metric when compared to all data requests received over a fixed period, whether the period is computed temporally or by numeric limitation. Thus, the weighted average can be computed according to the following equation:
 To select particular data in the cache for eviction, in block 230 the most “overweighted” group of data associated with a particular QoS metric can be identified. Specifically, the QoS metric having the most data stored in the cache in excess of the optimal preferred proportion of data for that QoS metric can be considered the most overweighted. Once identified, in decision block 250 it can be determined whether to perform a cache eviction. If so, in block 235 a data element associated with that QoS metric can be evicted from the cache according to the selected conventional cache eviction methodology. Where no overweighted groups of data can be identified, data associated with the same QoS metric as the new entry can be subject to eviction.
 Significantly, it is to be understood that the cache eviction policy of the present invention need not be applied rigidly. Rather, in a preferred aspect of the invention, hysterisis can be incorporated into the cache eviction logic. In particular, certain tolerances for overweighting can be considered in order to avoid unnecessary cache evictions. In this way, it will be permissible for the caching component of the storage system to remain somewhat out-of-balance in order to avoid disk thrashing.
 In consequence of the cache replacement logic of the present invention, storage system components and, indeed, entire storage systems, can provide the advantages of differentiated service which, heretofore, had not been applied at the storage system level. Thus, QoS terms which can be enforced at the higher, network level, now too can be enforced at the lowest levels of the enterprise. The present invention can be realized in hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software. An implementation of the method and system of the present invention can be realized in a centralized fashion in one computer system, or in a distributed fashion where different elements are spread across several interconnected computer systems. Any kind of computer system, or other apparatus adapted for carrying out the methods described herein, is suited to perform the functions described herein.
 A typical combination of hardware and software could be a general purpose computer system with a computer program that, when being loaded and executed, controls the computer system such that it carries out the methods described herein. The present invention can also be embedded in a computer program product, which comprises all the features enabling the implementation of the methods described herein, and which, when loaded in a computer system is able to carry out these methods.
 Computer program or application in the present context means any expression, in any language, code or notation, of a set of instructions intended to cause a system having an information processing capability to perform a particular function either directly or after either or both of the following a) conversion to another language, code or notation; b) reproduction in a different material form. Significantly, this invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof, and accordingly, reference should be had to the following claims, rather than to the foregoing specification, as indicating the scope of the invention.

It is essential for a modern person that the elements around him work quickly and efficiently, which will allow him to spend his time on more important things. Cars have already become an indispensable way of moving between home, work, and other places, providing maximum comfort. In order for the car to operate as long as possible, it is necessary to create suitable conditions for it. It often needs a garage because it is not advisable to leave a car in the open air or under a shed.
The choice of garage doors and the method of opening them are especially important. Mechanics is a common and cheap option, but it is with the help of automation that a person can experience the high level of comfort that he deserves.
How To Choose Automation For Garage Doors?
- An automatic garage door opener is designed to lift a certain weight, so for less wear, give preference to a model that will be able to handle a heavier door.
- To minimize the risk of mechanical damage to the drive, consider the potential frequency of use. If the opener is intended for permanent use, then order the product with an intensity of 100%.
- A big advantage is the ability to switch to manual control if a power outage occurs.
- Automation for garage doors must be made of quality materials and have quality control certificates.
- Consider an important aspect: what type of fencing system the equipment is intended for, since the opening mechanism differs significantly between designs.
5 Advantages Of Automatic Garage Door Openers
The ability to stay in the car while opening and closing the door is the main thing. Just press one button on the remote control, and the door will open or close. The advantage of automatic doors over manually opening ones is especially well felt in the cold season or in strong winds. For drivers with disabilities, door automation is a must.
A powerful electric drive allows you to free the exit from the garage or adjacent territory very quickly. For example, sliding gates’ leaf speed is about 10-12 meters per minute. Swing gates require approximately 15 seconds to open fully. In industrial facilities, high-speed automatic rolling doors are often used, the speed of which can be 2.5 meters per second.
Gate automation manufacturers guarantee the high-quality performance of their products for a long time. The simplest garage doors can easily withstand up to 25 thousand open/close cycles. Automation for industrial gates provides up to 100 thousand such cycles.
You may not have known, but it is quite challenging to hack modern automatic gates. If an intruder wants to illegally enter the territory of your garage, then you will know for sure about this and will be able to take all the necessary measures. So your car will be completely protected from criminals.
Variety Of Options
In the modern automation market, you can find openers for swing, sliding, up-and-over, and sectional doors, for domestic and industrial models of any size and weight, control units programmable according to customer requirements, and other useful accessories. You can find out more about each model in the National Garage door openers catalog.
Automatic garage doors are gaining popularity as more and more people realize how practical they are. Automation can be easily installed even on ready-made gates. The whole process takes from 5 to 10 hours, depending on the type of doors. Do not deny yourself the comfort – if you have a garage, this is already the number 1 reason to buy an automatic garage door opener.

Have brands lost sight of their power to shape consumer demand?
The majority of interactions with a brand are now initiated by consumers, not by their marketing, according to over half of CMOs. The result? Many brands are diluting their own identity in the pursuit of personalisation and meeting consumer demand.
So how can brands reaffirm their personality to connect with consumers?
Our latest report, developed in collaboration with Longitude (a Financial Times company) and drawing on interviews with industry experts, finds many bold brands are now reasserting themselves, across five key dimensions:
- Create shared experiences: brands steer customer purchasing by capitalising on shared experiences and the power of influencers.
- Make it easy: brands offer bundled products and services to lower the ‘decision’ barrier to purchase.
- Solve human problems: brands reassert their value by anticipating consumer needs.
- Choose words carefully: brands retain control by talking to consumers as well as listening.
- Open up: brands utilise transparency to forge closer consumer relationships.
To retain credibility as a source of problem-solving, brands need to keep hold of the personality and human traits that distinguished them in the first place. In this fast-changing and customer-driven environment, there is still an opportunity for brands to combine responsiveness with calm authority and cut through the noise.


Perhaps more than any other state, Hawaii has significant GIS needs. Rich geographic, cultural, and economic diversity presents statistical challenges that GIS can answer. Their statewide GIS program outlines a whopping 20 focus areas, ranging from analysis of hazards such as hurricanes to planning efforts in transportation. And as communities seek to address a pronounced housing shortage without compromising the environment, the need for Hawaii GIS degree program graduates will only continue to grow.
Hawaii’s institutions of higher learning will play a critical role in answering this burgeoning demand. Whether seeking a certificate undergraduate program, the Hawaii GIS degree programs below are a fantastic place to start.

There were many truths about yesterdays iPhone 4S launch, it did come with the new dual-core A5 processor, better 8 megapixel camera with 1080p HD recording and “Siri” the Voice Assistant. Some major missings were the complete thinner “teardrop” redesign and the lack of NFC and LTE capabilities. Today, the next-gen iPhone rumours have started up once again, first up is research first IHS who says we can expect an LTE-capable iPhone 5 late 2012 or mid-2013:
“This confirms the IHS outlook issued in July that the new iPhone introduced by Apple in 2011 likely would not include the next-generation 4G technology known as LTE,” the research firm said in a statement. IHS expects the LTE-capable iPhone 5 to arrive in late 2012 or mid-2013, when an affordable chipset solution allowing a thinner form factor is available.”
If this holds true, Apple will have had the same general iPhone 4 design for just under 3 years.

Changes in the market environment, door and window companies need to speed up the pace of adjustment
In recent years, under the influence of the comprehensive factors of the whole market, the market of aluminum alloy doors and windows has also fallen. This year is different from previous years. In previous years, it was “industry heat, market fever”. This year is “industry hot, market cold”; aluminum alloy Door and window companies and businesses have launched a number of activities, but the market performance is not satisfactory. After years of development in the industry, various problems have become increasingly exposed, and many companies have begun to think about new directions for future development.
Affected by China's economic development, the development of aluminum alloy doors and windows industry has also slowed down. The market's coldness makes the aluminum alloy doors and windows enterprises feel like "the ants on the hot pot", which is suffering. It is better to act than to wait and see the enterprise. Only by making changes with the pace of the times can we change the bleak status quo.
Comply with the trend of the trend, grasp the key to make adjustments
The industry generally believes that the industry still has no absolute advantage in production design process, and brand development is an important way to promote and sustain the development of aluminum alloy doors and windows. The brand covers everything from production to packaging to service. In the end, it is the “comprehensive national strength” of a corporate empire and must be given full attention. In fact, the choice of focusing on “brands” is actually focusing on the brand of the product. To this end, aluminum alloy doors and windows enterprises in the development process should be their branded branding in a timely manner, so that the brand to play a driving role.
Although the standards for green products determined by countries are not the same, they will emphasize the characteristics of the products that are conducive to human health and environmental protection. The harmful gases in the air in 2/3 of the world's buildings exceed the standard, and more than 64% of the pollution sources come from wood products. The green development direction of implementing aluminum alloy door and window products is in line with the interests of market consumers and the direction of sustainable development of the industry. It is imperative to benefit the country and the people. Therefore, aluminum alloy doors and windows enterprises adhere to the development theme of “green, environmental protection” and can achieve better development.
In short, in the current market competition situation, the aluminum alloy doors and windows enterprises can not stand still, waiting for the improvement of the external environment. In the process of enterprise development, only when we start from ourselves and understand the external environment, we will make reasonable adjustments to our own strategic policies, and then implement them into practical actions. Only aluminum alloy doors and windows enterprises can achieve in the white-hot market. Greater development.

About the Vendo Coin Changer
Vendo Coin Changers are one of Vendo’s ventures into different markets – this time around improving sales and value of their soda vending machines. The Vendo Coin Changers were meant to increase sales and create “goodwill” in different areas where it was hard to get change. Change was always crucial before the 1950s because vending machines didn’t take anything else than nickels – so you were doomed if you had only quarters. This machine was the perfect solution for high-volume locations and vendors would usually have them installed around vending machines or even attached to them in some cases.
- Vendo Coin Changers were produced from the late 1940s to the mid-1950s to respond to the common problem of wanting a coke and not having change.
- According to marketing brochures, these machines would increase sales by 22%, which meant more cokes could be sold in the same location.
- Also, they were marketed as a tool to build goodwill with customers, who were supposedly attracted to the locations that used these machines because they were more convenient.
- Their design was reminiscent of vending machines, usually having a red body with chromed embossed details like the coin entry, coin return plate embossed with “Coin Changer” and “the Vendo Company” below, and a plexiglass panel.
- The plexiglass panel could hold advertising for anything, though it usually was reserved for Coca-Cola.
- They were mechanical machines, so you didn’t have to plug them in.
- These were very small machines that could be placed on walls, attached to machines, and some even had a stand to place them around vending machines.
Vendo Coin Changer Specs:
- Size: 15 ½” tall, 11½” wide, 5” deep
- Capacity: $20 in nickels or 400 nickels.
- Weight: 21.4lbs
These machines are highly sought after by avid collectors, mostly because they can complement the appearance of any vending machine, whether it’s placed around or attached to it.

Long story. The X Axis quit on me, which for as long as I’ve had my laser, it was not completely unexpected.
I tried a new motor, but it just stuttered when I tried to move the laser module. So $10 fix didn’t work, so not a huge deal.
I decided to order the 5w laser assembly and use my 40w laser on it. Not only do I know everything is new and should work, but now it would be pretty and red. Win win.
Except it isn’t. My laser module has an 8 pin connector and the main board on the new assembly has a 9 pin connector.
I really can’t drop another $1200 replacing a laser module that is working perfectly. Does anyone know if/where I can get an 8 pin to 9 pin adapter, or which of the pins I would disregard if I tried to put a 9 pin connector on my old cable?
