The present invention relates to a method and means for providing a uniform exposure for printing, and in particular to a printing means comprising a single row of light-emitting elements which are constructed in the form of parallelograms of unequal lengths with the shorter sides being perpendicular to the image-wise exposure and the corners of the short side being aligned with corners of the opposite short side of an adjacent light-emitting element.
It is well known to use light-emitting elements, such as LED's, in printing devices, see U.S. Pat. No. 4,780,731 and European Patent Application A-0189664. Typically, two rows of LED's are used to achieve a uniform exposure, see NL-A 8300111. However, using two rows requires specialized synchronization between the data for the first and second rows.
The use of a single row of light-emitting elements has resulted in nonuniform exposures. See, for example, Japanese Application 60-99672, 63-309476 and 63-57262.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,553,148, there is disclosed an exposure device comprising one straight row of light-emitting elements disposed with fixed spacing b between them in one plane. In this case the LED's are disposed in a straight row to image, by means of a Selfoc array, onto a moving photoconductor. In order to increase the light Yield, the LED's are constructed in the form of elongate rectangles or parallelograms. By disposing a cylindrical lens between the row of LED's and the photoconductor, the elongate LED's are imaged as small squares or diamonds.
A disadvantage of these known devices is that the light distribution on the photosensitive medium as considered in the direction of the row is not equal, and between two image dots there is a zone where there is distinctly less light. To enable the photoconductor to be exposed at these places too, the total light level has to be increased, e.g. by increasing the LED's energization current, and this increases the heat development and reduces the LED life.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a means for achieving a uniform exposure using a single row of light-emitting elements.
Generally, the present invention overcomes the disadvantages normally inherent in single row LED sources (LED'S). According to the invention the disadvantages of the prior art are overcome by means of an exposure device, in which all arbitrary imaginary strips of equal width situated in the plane of the photoconductor and extending perpendicularly to the row always contain an equally large area that is exposed by the light-emitting elements or LED'S. This is achieved by means of an energization device for energizing the light-emitting elements in such manner that each zone of the photoconductor receives exactly the same amount of light in the exposed areas.
More particularly, the present invention provides an exposure device which comprises a plurality of light-emitting elements aligned in a row in spaced apart relationship. The distance between elements is defined herein as "b." Each of the light-emitting elements is configured in the shape of a parallelogram having two long parallel sides positioned generally in the direction of exposure and two parallel short sides on the leading edge and trailing edge, respectively, of the image. The corners of the leading short edge of one element are disposed to align with corresponding corners of the trailing edge of an adjacent element.
Consequently, for a given printing speed it is possible to use a minimum energization current and non-exposed zones which would otherwise cause dark strips in the direction of transit of the photosensitive medium are effectively obviated in the print.
These and other advantages will be apparent from a perusal of the following description of presently preferred embodiments of the invention taken with reference to the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a printing device using a row of LED's.
FIG. 2a is a top plan view of a row of LED's according to the prior art.
FIG. 2b shows the light distribution associated with FIG. 2a.
FIG. 3a is a top plan view of an exposure device according to the invention.
FIG. 3b shows a light distribution associated with FIG. 3a.
FIG. 4 shows a number of image dots formed with an exposure device according to FIG. 3a.
FIG. 5 is a top plan view of another exposure device according to the invention.
FIG. 6 shows a number of image dots on the photosensitive medium produced by means of an exposure device according to FIG. 5.
FIG. 7 is another embodiment of an exposure device according to the invention, and
FIG. 8 shows an image dot obtained with an exposure device according to FIG. 7.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a printing device in which an electrophotographic belt 11 is trained about three rollers 12, 13 and 20 in the direction of arrow 14 (auxiliary scanning direction). A belt of this kind provided, for example, with a zinc oxide layer or an organic photosensitive layer, is charged in known manner by means of a charging unit 1 and then exposed image-wise. Those places which have not received any light are developed with toner powder by means of developing device 2. The resulting powder image is transferred in known manner to a heated silicone rubber belt 3. A sheet of receiving material is fed from a sheet tray 6 between rollers 4 and 5, the powder image being transferred from the silicone rubber belt 3 to the receiving sheet and fused thereon. The resulting print is deposited a receiving tray 7. An exposure device 19 comprises a substrate or support 15 having a row of LED's 16 thereon extending perpendicularly to the direction of advance 14 of the belt 11 above the latter.
An array of imaging glass fibres 17, also known as a Selfoc array is disposed between the exposure device 19 and the belt 11 and images each LED on the electrophotographic belt 11 with an imaging ratio of 1:1 (position 18). An image signal is fed via line 23 to an energizing device 22. A pulse disc is disposed on the shaft of roller 13 and delivers a signal in proportion to the movement of belt 11. This signal is fed to a synchronization device 21 in which a synchronization signal is generated. In response to the synchronization signal the image signals are fed to exposure device 19 so that the electrophotographic belt 11 is exposed image-wise line by line to form a row of image dots on belt 11.
FIG. 2a is a diagrammatic top plan view of an LED array as known, for example, from U.S. Pat. No. 4,553,148. A number of parallelogram-shaped LED's 24-28 are disposed in a row in a spaced apart relationship on support 15. A photosensitive medium passes the row of LED's in the direction of arrow 14 (auxiliary scanning direction). The axis 29 along which the row of LED's extends indicates the main scanning direction.
The light distribution forming in a plane through the main scanning direction and perpendicular to the drawing plane is shown in FIG. 2b. In this graph the x-axis is drawn to the same scale as that of the row of LED's in FIG. 2a. Thus, point 31 of light distribution curve 34 in FIG. 2b indicates the amount of light received by a point on the photosensitive medium if that point is fed in the auxiliary scanning direction 14 over the broken line 30 along the row of LED's in FIG. 2a. The amount of light received by a point on the photosensitive medium fed along line 32 past the row LED's is also denoted by point 33 in the light distribution curve 34.
In areas situated directly above the LED's the light distribution curve 34 has a maximum (Lmax) while in the areas between the LED's it has a minimum (Lmin).
Since a specific quantity of light is necessary to expose the photosensitive medium, Lmin will have to be at least such that this specific quantity is met. As a result, areas on the photosensitive medium fed, for example, over broken line 30 along the row of LED's will receive too much light.
FIG. 2a shows a number of imaginary strips 35, 36, and 37 of equal width dx and situated in the auxiliary scanning direction 14. A small surface on the photosensitive medium having width dx passing strip 35 receives light, if LED 27 is energized, only during the period when said surface is situated opposite zone 38. An equally wide surface on the photosensitive medium passing strip 36 receives a quantity of light during the period that LED 28 is energized and this surface is situated opposite zone 39.
It will be apparent from the drawing that this is a maximum quantity of light. A surface on the photosensitive medium passing the strip 37 receives a minimum quantity of light. This surface receives light only when it is situated opposite the zone 41 and then when it is situated opposite zone 40.
Accordingly, the amount of light that a surface on the photosensitive medium receives during the passage of said surface along the row of LED's is proportional to the area of the traversed light-emitting surface of the LED.
FIG. 3a is a diagram of an exposure device according to the invention. A row of parallelogram-shaped LED's 45-49 is disposed on a support. Each LED is so constructed that the corner points 50, 51 of one short side of an LED 46, as considered in the auxiliary scanning direction 14, are in line with the corner points 52, 53 of the other short side of a neighboring LED 47. Thus corner point 50 of LED 46 and corner point 52 of LED 47 are on the same straight line 59 as considered in the auxiliary scanning direction, and corner point 51 of LED 46 and corner point 53 of LED 47 are on the same straight line 60 as considered in the auxiliary scanning direction.
Here again, as in FIG. 2a, a number of imaginary strips 54, 55 are shown with equal width (dx) and extending in the auxiliary scanning direction 14. A surface on the photosensitive medium having a width dx passing the strip 54 in the auxiliary scanning direction 14 receives light during the period that LED 48 is energized and said surface is situated opposite the zone 56. A surface of equal width on the photosensitive medium passing the strip 55 receives light during the period that LED 49 is energized and said surface is situated opposite zone 58 and during the period that LED 48 is energized and said surface is situated opposite zone 57.
As a result of the specific geometry of the light-emitting surfaces (the LED's) the area of zone 56 is equal to the sum of the areas of the zones 57 and 58.
This relationship will apply to any arbitrary imaginary strip of width dx so that each arbitrary surface in the exposed part of the photosensitive medium will receive exactly the same amount of light. In FIG. 3b this equal light distribution is shown by curve 61. The quantity of light is equivalent to the minimum quantity Lmin in FIG. 2b.
The advantage of this equal light distribution is that the amount of light required becomes as small as possible, so that the energization current becomes a minimum and overexposure of specific zones is avoided.
An additional advantage is that the influence of stray light is also small and the exposure latitude increased.
Exposure latitude in this context denotes the ratio between the minimum quantity of light falling on the photosensitive medium locations requiring to be exposed (Lmin), and the quantity of stray light (Lst) that the photosensitive medium receives in those zones which are not exposed image-wise.
In the exposure device according to the invention, this ratio is at a maximum as a result of a distribution which is as uniform as possible. Other steps to make this ratio as large as possible are based on further reducing the quantity of stray light. Thus in an array of LED's the surface or zone 15A (FIG. 1) surrounding the LED's which does not emit light may be provided with a non-reflecting layer. The LED connecting leads, which are partially depicted in FIGS. 2a, 3a and 5 and designated by reference character "L" frequently make a considerable contribution to stray light; Hence they may also be provided with a non-reflecting layer, or be disposed so far away from the light-emitting surface that the reflections meet the Selfoc array 17 disposed above the LED's at too large an angle of incidence, so that these reflections are not imaged on the photosensitive layer.
Another step to further reduce stray light is to dispose a diaphragm 62 (FIGS. 1 and 3a) preferably having a substantially rectangular slit between the row of LED's and the Selfoc array 17. With approximately 5 mm to 7 mm spacing between the LED's and the Selfoc array 17 a diaphragm 62 having a slit width of of about 150 μm at a distance S (FIG. 1) of about 0.5 mm from the LED's is sufficient to reduce the stray light considerably. The slit width d is a compromise between, on the one hand, the need to admit as much direct light as possible through the Selfoc array 17 and, on the other hand, the need to keep back as much as possible that stray light which would meet the Selfoc array 17 at the correct angle of incidence. The distances between the diaphragm 62 and light-emitting elements, and the slit width d of the diaphragm, as considered in a direction perpendicular to the row, is so selected that rays of light which are emitted by the light-emitting elements (LED's) at an angle greater than the maximum angle of incidence β (FIG. 1) of the focussing glass fibres of aray 17 (about 24°) are held back by the diaphragm 62. Given a light-emitting element length c considered in the direction perpendicular to the row, then the optimal relationship between the diaphragm slit width d and the distance S measured from the LED to the diaphragm 62 for a maximum angle of incidence β of the focussing glass fibres, is given by:
In FIG. 3a, the distance b between two LED's 45,46 is equal to the width a of an LED. Under the conditions drawn, the angle α is equal to 45°. In the embodiment illustrated, a=30 μm, b=30 μm. For the dimension c of an LED as considered perpendicular to the main scanning direction, c=60 μm. It will also be clear that any other dimension can be adapted to specific needs.
An image that has to be depicted on a photosensitive medium consists of a large number of image dots which must adjoin one another accurately in order not to leave any unexposed portions. FIG. 4 shows a number of image dots on the photosensitive medium obtained with an exposure device according to FIG. 3a. The main scanning direction 29 is shown in the drawing and the row of LED's (not shown) is situated directly above this. The photosensitive medium moves in the auxiliary scanning direction 14.
The instant zone 65 is directly opposite LED 45 (FIG. 3a) LED 45 is energized pulse-wise with a first image signal and thus exposes zone 65. Similarly zone 69 is exposed with LED 46 and zone 73 with LED 47. The instant that the photosensitive medium has been conveyed on over a distance of 1/2 c, or 30 μm, LED 45 is again energized with the same first image signal and thus exposes the zone 66. This zone 66 exactly adjoins zone 65 as a result of the geometry chosen for the LED's.
Accordingly, LED's 46 and 47 expose the zones 70 and 74 with the first image signals for the LED's 46 and 47. After the photosensitive medium has again been conveyed over a distance 1/2 c=30 μm a second image signal is fed to LED 45. This second image signal energizes LED 45 so that zone 67 is exposed. This zone again exactly adjoins zone 66. After another movement of 1/2 c=30 μm LED 45 is again energized with the same second image signal and zone 68 is exposed. Similarly, zones 71 and 72 are exposed by means of LED 46 with the same image signal and zones 75 and 76 by means of LED 47.
An image line is a row of image dots situated adjacent one another as considered in the main scanning direction. An image dot is a zone on the photosensitive medium obtained by exposing such zone with one and the same image signal. This is shown in FIG. 4 by means of zones 77 and 78. The dimension of this image dot in the main scanning direction p and auxiliary scanning direction q is 90×90 μm.
As will also be seen from FIG. 4, all the exposed zones adjoin one another exactly in the main scanning direction and in the auxiliary scanning direction so that there are no unexposed zones left.
FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the exposure device according to the invention. Here again the corner points 86, 87 of an LED 81 are in line with the corner points 88, 89 of a neighboring LED 82. However, the distance b between two LED's 80, 81 is exactly twice that of the dimension a of the LED's 80, 81. In the embodiment illustrated a=15 μm, b=30 μm and c=60 μm.
FIG. 6 illustrates a number of image dots on the photosensitive medium obtained with an exposure device according to FIG. 5.
By analogy with the printing device shown in FIG. 4, the auxiliary scanning direction is denoted by arrow 14 and the main scanning direction and the position of the row of LED's by line 29. The instant that zone 90 is directly opposite LED 80 (FIG. 5), LED 80 is energized pulse-wise with a first image signal. When the photosensitive medium has been conveyed on over a distance of 1/3c=20 μm LED 80 is again energized with the same first image signal and zone 91 is exposed. After the photosensitive medium has again advanced 1/3c=20 μm, LED 80 is energized for the third time with the same first image signal and zone 92 is exposed. Each time that the photosensitive medium has moved 1/3c=20 μm, LED 80 is then energized three times with the next image signal so that zones 93, 94 and 95 are exposed. In this way, a photosensitive medium is exposed to light accurately without any holes or overlaps.
The size of an image dot 96 is p×q or 60×100 μm. Thus many other dimensions are possible to obtain accurate exposure of a photosensitive layer, according to the idea of the invention. Provided that the condition is satisfied to the effect that the corner points of two adjacent parallelograms are situated perpendicularly above one another, exposure can always be obtained so as to fill the image completely. After each movement of the photosensitive medium over distance k, where: ##EQU1## an LED must be energized in order to obtain complete filling of the image. Here, a is the width of an LED measured in the main scanning direction, c is the dimension of an LED measured in the auxiliary scanning direction and b is the distance between two adjacent LED's, also measured in the main scanning direction. D is a distance (preferably the largest distance) of which both a and b are complete multiples. If, for example, a b, then for the maximum value of D, D is equal to a or b. Alternatively, D may be made equal to 1/2 a or 1/3 a for example.
In an exposure device according to the invention the distance b between two LED's can be selected to be smaller than the width a of an LED. In order to obtain complete filling of the image in this situation, an LED must just as well be energized after each movement of the photosensitive medium over a distance k in accordance with the same formula. For a row of LED's having the dimensions a=45 μm, b=15 μm, c=60 μm and D=15 μm applies k=15 μm. In these circumstances each zone on the photosensitive medium is exposed three times by an LED with pulse-wise energization of the LED's, while here again all the exposed zones receive exactly the same amount of light. Since these zones overlap to some extent, some unsharpness occurs in this way at the edges of an image to be depicted. In the above described example, therefore, an adjoining strip of 15 μm will be exposed twice at the edge of an image and a strip situated between 15 μ m and 30 μm from the edge of an image will be exposed once. After development, the result is an edge which terminates via two grey steps, so that in particular, oblique lines on the photosensitive medium have a more uniform less sharply graduated appearance.
In the examples described it has always been assumed that an image dot is formed by energizing a light-emitting element a number of times with the same image signal. It is equally possible, for example, with an exposure device according to FIG. 5, not to energize an LED 80 three times successively with the same image signal to form an image dot, but, for example, only twice so that only the zones 90 and 91 (FIG. 6) are exposed. Zone 92 remains unexposed. The result is an image dot of which two-thirds is white and one-third is black. This is a form of image dot size modulation with which a number of grey tints can be obtained.
The same technique is also applicable with light-emitting elements satisfying the relation a>b, in which each image dot is obtained by a number of overlapping exposures. Here again by applying for each image dot less exposures (energizations) than is necessary for a complete exposure, image dots are formed with a specific grey tint.
However, it is always a requirement, for complete exposure of image dots as considered in the main scanning direction, that such image dots should exactly adjoin one another so that a flat light distribution is obtained in the main scanning direction too, so that there are no unexposed zones left on the photosensitive medium.
FIG. 7 shows a further embodiment of a row of LED's. Light-emitting zones 98, 99 are disposed on a substrate 106. Electrodes 102, 105 are then vapor-applied thereover to energize the light-emitting zones 98, 99. As a result each LED comprises two partial zones 100, 101 and 103, 104, respectively which are energized simultaneously when an image signal is applied. For each of these partial zones the corner points of one short side of a partial zone as considered in the auxiliary scanning direction must again be in line with the corner points of the other short side of an adjacent partial zone. In the embodiment illustrated, the width of a partial zone is the electrode width, and the distance between two LED's is in each case 15 μm, while the length c of the LED's measured in the auxiliary scanning direction is 30 μm, so that applies k=15 μm.
FIG. 8 shows an image dot formed with this array. The dimension in the auxiliary scanning direction is q=45 μm and in the main scanning direction p=75 μm.
The description of the images on photosensitive medium is based on ideal optics and the use of pulses of very short duration for control purposes. However, the inventive idea can be applied equally to a system in which the optics are not ideal and with any arbitrary pulse duration, an equal light distribution always being obtained.
The invention is not restricted to the embodiments described. The one skilled in the art will be able to apply several variations thereto, all of which will however come under the following claims.

Hon Gboyega Adefarati, Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Labour, Employment and Productivity.
— Asks Resident’s doctors to consider plight of Nigerians
— Tinubu will bring succour
By Dayo Johnson, Akure
The National Assembly has made a passionate appeal to Organised Labour to reconsider the decision to embark on a national industrial action on Wednesday.
Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on
Labour, Employment and Productivity, Hon. Adegboyega Adefarati, made the appeal during a chat with newsmen in Akure, the Ondo state capital.
Adefarati, is representing Akoko South West/South East federal constituency in the green chamber.
He expressed concern over the potential severity of negative impacts the industrial action could have on ordinary Nigerians, particularly those who are already grappling with the economic situation.
The lawmaker noted that President Bola Tinubu and the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abass, are fully aware of the prevailing circumstances.
Also, speaking on the doctors strike, Adefarati emphasised that the President of the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) should take into consideration the plight of Nigerians while pressing forward with their demands.
He said that there was the need for a balanced approach that considers both the welfare of doctors and the well-being of the populace.
The House Committee Chairman assured the public that the government is actively engaged in addressing the pertinent issues in a comprehensive manner.
He said: “My appeal to organised labour is for them to shelve the planned protest slated for August 2nd.
“This is a new administration and I can assure you that My president belongs to the progressive group. He has set up a committee headed by the Chief of Staff, and they have been meeting and interacting with the workers.
“Workers should look into the option of negotiation and dialogue rather than protest. A stable industrial and harmonious relationship is sine quo non to development.
“So, we are appealing to them to shelve the idea and wait for the outcome of the meeting. I believe that it will be a win-win situation for the country, even for the workers.
“I can assure them that any input they need from the House of Representatives, we are ready. Any agreement reached will be given swift and prompt action by the House.
“Like the issue of palliative bill. When the bill of N500 billion was brought to the House, it was given speedy approval because we are there to serve our people.
“This government will look critically to their demands. Asiwaju is known to everybody in Nigeria; when he was governor of Lagos State, we knew what he did, even concerning workers welfare. I can assure you that at the end of the day, everyone will laugh.
“There are so many initiatives they are planning that will give succour to the effect of the subsidy. In all honesty, subsidy is like cancer we must do away with it.
“Like last month, about 1.9 trillion was shared among the three tiers of government, which has never happened before. Subsidy has been a scam, and the only way to curb it was to remove it in the interest of our people. If there is no pain, there is no gain.
“On the issue of the National Association of Resident Doctors, I want to appreciate my Rt. Hon. Speaker, Tajudeen Abass. He interacted with them and went to the President concerning their issue.
“It is better to dialogue and negotiate than protest because, at the end of the day, it won’t do anybody any good. By going on strike, it means the problems being faced by the people are further compounded.
“What we all should be concerned about is the way forward with the necessary solutions and not condemnation all the way.
Adefarati said that “I think the direction we ought to be looking is at how social services in the areas of education, transportation, and health can be improved.

Tea Party Patriots, an organization with more than 1,000 affiliated groups across the nation that proclaims itself to be the "Official Home of the Tea Party Movement".
A 2011 investigation by the magazine Mother Jones found that the Tea Party Patriots organization was using its 501(c)(4) status to avoid disclosing its expenditures both to the IRS and to local contributors. The magazine reported that when local Tea Party groups pressed for more details on the group's expenses, they were removed from the umbrella organization and threatened with legal action.
Americans for Prosperity, an organization founded by David H. Koch in 2003, and led by Tim Phillips. The group has over 1 million members in 500 local affiliates, and led protests against health care reform in 2009.
FreedomWorks, an organization led Dick Armey. Like Americans for Prosperity, the group has over 1 million members in 500 local affiliates. It makes local and national candidate endorsements.
Tea Party Express, a national bus tour run by Our Country Deserves Better PAC, itself a conservative political action committee created by Sacramento-based Republican consulting firm Russo, Marsh, and Associates.
Tea Party Nation, which sponsored the National Tea Party Convention that was criticized for its $549 ticket price and because Sarah Palin was apparently paid $100,000 USD for her appearance (which she put towards SarahPAC).
“It won’t happen,” said Stuart Appelbaum, president of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union and one of the first labor leaders to embrace the Occupy movement. “They are not working with the unions in a serious way yet; nor are the unions working with them in a serious way. And it is the wrong strategy.”
The difference isn’t just one of tactics: Despite public expressions of solidarity, labor leaders say privately that they’ve been frustrated by their inability to build a long-term relationship with the leaderless movement. Instead, they’re beginning to plan a day of protest later this year in support of the right to organize.
None of the union leaders BuzzFeed spoke with said they’d been contacted by occupiers about plans for a strike, a silence that has made the grand talk of a general strike even more puzzling to people whose members are familiar with picket lines.
“A general strike is a very specific thing,” said Bob Master, co-chairman of the Working Families Party and the legislative and political director of Communication Workers of America District 1. “It’s when all the workers in a city decide that they’re not working. It’s not when an outside group says, ‘How about we stop working for a day because we’ve got a set of demands that you weren’t part of formulating.’”
“Frankly there's not enough union people in this country anyway, so even if you made every union person strike, you still couldn’t have everyone not working,” said Jeff Smith, an organizer since the beginning of Occupy.
“It’s about getting enough people to opt out of what their normal equation is,” Smith said. “Even if you just stay home and watch TV, in some ways you'll have participated in this.”

Alison Sweeney has signed a major deal with Hallmark Media. Sweeney’s fans are celebrating the welcome news and hoping it means they’ll get new installments of the Hannah Swensen mystery series.
Sweeney Signed a Multi-Picture Deal with Hallmark
Sweeney has signed a multi-picture deal with Hallmark Media (formerly called Crown Media), Deadline reported. The news was announced on Sweeney’s birthday. The article didn’t reveal if this is an exclusive contract or not.
Sweeney wrote about the announcement on Twitter, sharing with fans: “So grateful to team up with all the talented people at @hallmarkchannel!!!! Thank you 🙏 💕 🎥”
Sweeney’s fans are hoping this news means she’ll be making more “Hannah Swensen” movies (formerly called “Murder She Baked.”)
Lisa Hamilton Daly, Executive Vice President, Programming, Hallmark Media, told Deadline about the deal: “Alison Sweeney has been an incredible creative partner for us over the years – both on screen as well as behind the camera as a producer. She’s long been a fan favorite and we can’t wait to continue our work together as we bring new stories to life.”
Sweeney told Deadline about the deal: “I am thrilled to continue to work with Hallmark as they continue to support my work as an actress and as a producer. I’m very proud of our Christmas movie and excited for the future projects to come!”
The last “Hannah Swensen” movie aired over a year ago in August 2021. It was the sixth movie in the series, but also marked a rebranding after the first five were called “Murder She Baked.”
Her Contract Begins with ‘A Magical Christmas Village’ Opposite Luke Macfarlane
Sweeney’s first movie that’s part of her new deal is “A Magical Christmas Village,” where she will star opposite Luke Macfarlane, Deadline revealed. In the movie, Sweeney portrays an architect named Summer who is living in a small town and raising her daughter, Chloe (Maesa Nicholson.) Her mother Vivian moves in (Marlo Thomas) and brings a Christmas village with her that’s known for granting wishes — perhaps including meeting Ryan, played by Macfarlane. Sweeney is executive producing the Christmas movie.
“They’ve been very good to me, but I think I’ve told my story for now with those folks,” Macfarlane told LA Times. “I mean, how many firefighters can I play?”
This will be Macfarlane’s 14th movie with Hallmark.
He told Yahoo in an interview: “Hallmark gave me jobs for a long time. And not only just the gay best friend — they let me be a leading man. I’m always going to be very grateful to them for that.”
Vanity Fair reported that Macfarlane’s multi-movie contract expires this fall.
Sweeney’s deal follows previous announcements about multi-picture deals with Hallmark Media. Some of the stars who signed deals include Lacey Chabert, Holly Robinson Peete, Brennan Elliott, Jonathan Bennett, Andrew Walker, Taylor Cole, Heather Hemmens, Tamera Mowry-Housley, Aimee Teegarden, and more.
Other Hallmark stars have signed deals with Great American Family, including Danica McKellar, Jen Lilley, Trevor Donovan, Susie Abromeit, Jessica Lowndes, and Candace Cameron Bure.

I haven't enjoyed a movie like this in a long time. And, I've never seen a movie quite like Sukiyaki Western Django. If I could, I would give a review of the movie, but I've never seen a spaghetti western, my knowledge of cult films and Japanese films is minimal--therefore I am unqualified. I leave it to rottentomatoes.com:
Synopsis: SUKIYAKI WESTERN DJANGO is prolific Japanese cult director Takashi Miike's samurai tribute to the Spaghetti Western genre. With an irreverent style and an obvious knowledge of the oater canon, Miike sets out to celebrate the factory... SUKIYAKI WESTERN DJANGO is prolific Japanese cult director Takashi Miike's samurai tribute to the Spaghetti Western genre. With an irreverent style and an obvious knowledge of the oater canon, Miike sets out to celebrate the factory line artistry of films such as Sergio Leone's A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS and Sergio Carbucci's DJANGO, while fully embracing the dazzling, post-modern aesthetic of movies such as KILL BILL and DESPERADO. And while homage and cinematic genre mash-ups can both be high on genuine artistic vision, it's clear from the supremely stylized opening prologue--with its transparent set pieces, outrageous kill shots, and cameo from that anointer of cult films himself, Quentin Tarantino--that Miike is out to have fun above all. The story follows a Man With No Name gunfighter brought to a small village in Nevada to protect the townspeople from two rival gangs at war over a treasure hidden in the nearby hills. Themes of honor, tradition, loyalty, and family give the film some dramatic weight, but SUKIYAKI WESTERN DJANGO primarily works as a high-octane action flick, albeit one made by a director with style and smarts. The samurai sword lust, kung-fu bar brawls, and John Woo-style operatic gun play remain completely gripping regardless of plot. Yet though the basic story has been told by everyone from Dashiell Hammett to the Coen Brothers to Akira Kurosawa, it's one that has clearly worked its way into the pantheon of contemporary myth and makes for solid dramatic ground on which an entertaining spectacle can unfurl.Next stop at the Kaohsiung Film Festival: some movie about a Michael Jackson impersonator meeting a Marilyn Monroe impersonator, moving to an impersonation colony with her and throwing a ball? I hope you're as pumped as I am.


One of today’s vainest of guilty pleasures is our follower count or the number of likes we get on social media.
Don’t pretend a chill doesn’t run down your spine when your “likes” reaches a new high or someone new follows you. We can’t help it, it’s just the times we’re in.
While it’s often seen as shallow or self-indulgent to chase followers and likes—as a modern business or brand—there is value in follower count. In the age of the Internet, followership impacts how expansive your reach is and how far your message spreads.
The main reason a brand is followed is because people like the brand and also wish to keep abreast with the latest updates on the brand and its promotions, products and services.
So simply, a brand needs to be likeable and attractive to consumers in order to amass a large follower count. The question, as always, is: How?
The science of social media
Here are a few research-backed ways according to Rutgers University, Nielsen Researchers, and Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) researchers, and social media analytics company, Beevolve:
1. Keep it upbeat
Users respond to positivity and are more likely to follow an account that is uplifting and gives out good vibes.
2. Stay connected
Create a consistent, dependable strategy so you stay fresh in people’s newsfeed and the “explore” section. Users appreciate when you maintain a flow as it makes them feel more familiar and connected to the brand.
Conversely, be mindful to not spam with multiple posts, consecutively. Schedulers like Buffer can make managing posts easier.
3. Be an expert
Your social media platforms are reflective of you as a brand and your posts and strategies reflect how good you are as a company.
So be authentically great at what you do. Being top of your industry means people will be inclined to keep up with your company and lifestyle. Keywords like author, expert, founder and official are powerful tools for growing followership.
4. Informers vs ‘Meformers’
Meformers: Users who post social media updates, predominantly self-related.
Informers: Users who post updates that predominantly share pertinent updates and information.
When it comes to brands and follower counts, informers > meformers. So, keep your posts relevant to your brand and align yourself as an informer to users.
5. We all get freebies!
Who doesn’t love free stuff? Add giveaways, discounts and freebies as a compliment to your content strategy and branding. Users follow brands for their goods and services.

I realize I should've posted this earlier, but rumor has it that I'll be appearing on The Morning Ticket with Pat and Todd on Saginaw's FM Talk 100.5 tomorrow morning. I'm scheduled to be on the show around 7:10 a.m. EST. (I'd better get the coffee brewing early.)
With Spring Training coming in about five weeks, Pat and Todd wanted to get some baseball talk fired up, and I'm flattered they asked me to participate in the discussion. Hopefully, they'll prevent me from whining for 10 minutes about the Tigers not signing a reliever yet.
You can listen to a live stream of the show at the FM Talk 100.5 website. And if they offer a MP3 of the show or if I can somehow make a recording (and they allowed me to post it), I'll see if I can get that done. Otherwise, maybe we can do a transcript or something like that.
And fingers crossed, this could be a weekly thing. If so, I'll be sure to give a bit more advanced notice.

30 Cal flex so today is the review of the 30 Cal flex travis whitney builds one amazing gun well I did some testing already we’re going to shoot 50 yards do a five shot group at 50 yeah I I started testing this I was like are you kidding me it blew me away just the trigger itself I couldn’t believe how beautiful the trigger was the trigger you sent it to me it said it one pound and this thing is just flawless it’s tight everywhere tolerances everything about it I did shot string and shot 14 shots last night and it just kept right in why needed it to be from 9 to about 8 90 something and it was just gorgeous I mean it’s a shot amazing so today what we’re going for the review 50 yards and of course we’ll throw some trick shots in too but we just want to show everyone how accurate this gun is and you can see the Picatinny rail I’m shooting at Asko 6 to 24 there’s nothing wrong to scope it really shoots really well here it is a mil dot scope it is the AR stock you can adjust it to whatever you need it to be the one thing I really really want to be clear on how tight things are and number one just so everybody knows it’s american-made that’s it baby USA all the parts on here

that’s amazing yeah that’s really nice that’s a really nice group I mean we know it’s tight it can be tighter than that you know what I mean yeah we can have a lot tighter than that but it’s also 50 yards with an air gun – yeah this is a special air gun and I’ll say that Travis’s build I mean man a man kind of walked around there a little bit sorry the stock a couple just in the stock but that faux max yeah hey if we had that thing locked down I guarantee you if we had it locked in now this is now you’re gonna remember that whole thing’s moving back there was me if we had down locked in I bet you I think shoots one hole oh yeah I’m not kidding oh yeah the way he set the trigger and stuff it’s it’s just amazing Wow we ought to try and drop some in at 102 and just see what happens at 100 yeah one two a couple 100 will shoot the same target and see where we’ll just see what happens I’ll hold the scene in point see if she drops in there yeah let’s let’s drop back to a hundred and see what happens okay yeah we’re going to do something a little different here as you can see this target this is going to be this is pretty much there’s my hand shows that size of the target it’s not that big we’re going to shoot this at 115 maybe 120 yards and we’re going to see what kind of grouping we get and we’re gonna see what happens and we’re shoot five shot seven shots whatever we can with the Flex I know this this thing’s hammering so plus we want you to hear the energy the impact that you’re having on steel about it is 120 about 120 yeah from other bunch of setup well say well shoot the laser and give you an exact measurement down but 120s good distance so let’s see what group it shoots at 120 I I can tell you this I wonder when I’ve been him you see that so by using this X you know we’re trying to get this in there the buffer tube was rolling left and right and it 110 if we shot this way that way I actually have three shots like this I’m telling you we locked this gun down it it’ll shoot in the same hole even at 110 yards like I have three shots touching the other ones are because I had this thing roll in here Wow drawn a smiley face pretty good shooting for 110 like I said if we lock it down we get even a better group you all right let’s go to you well here we are down at 110 yards and I mean there you go Bing Bing Bing Bing no problem here what I was noticing was when I was using this x-mount foam on the buffer tube I’m kind of not settled yet so you can see the rolling that I did but this is what happens when I locked it the whole way back in I had two together and then drop this next one in there so I’m gonna I’m just going to spray paint over this and maybe shoot another group maybe not we got other things to do so we’ll take a look and see what we come up with the wing kicked up winds blowing left to right you can see that what the winds doing [Music] why we always gotta have one bird want to cause trouble look at the size of him get ready here he comes wildlife in PA hooter dactyl was that pterodactyl was I was a pennsylvania terror doc it was indeed that tree falls i guess you see it look at the size that i trees it just fell one of those days are you so i guess they didn’t make a sound yeah beautiful shot group even at 110 we got we got three touching too low when that wind pulled up I get to see what to win how it even affected a 30 Cal pellet I’m pretty happy with what we just saw a good hits downrange even though we got attacked by a pterodactyl you know middle of our shooting there huh you got words for that no I don’t think was that’s why we need big bore air guns and PA so I guess we get attacked by pterodactyls but anyway did you think he knocked that tree down down there I think you did can you that’s ridiculous the size of that tree it just fell all right I’m so glad the cameras were rolling yeah same here people never believe us do you know if a tree does fall in the woods does anybody hear it

shooting nice tight groups thanks for watching well here we are downrange for a little school shop with the Flex kind of getting a lot are you here what we’re going to try to do this is crazy I don’t know if it’s gonna work or what’s going to happen and I want to try and ricochet the boy out of the Flex the 30 Cal flex ricocheted off the steel and pop the bloom and trust me I did check to see if it is possible what would happen the bullets are staying flat so what we’re going to try and do is ricochet and get to the balloons if we can pop this balloon we do have the target far enough away that we’re getting away from the splatter of the lead okay yeah any Spalding we’re not yeah the problem was so what we did we did check to see if that was the effect and stuff so I’m going to try and do a free hand shot at 100 ricocheted off of here and pop the bloom this the distance between the balloon and the target right now is about two and a half feet so freehand shot with the Flex at a hundred yards ricochet off the steel and pop the blue what do you think right let’s give her a shot Wow attack 100 we’re going to give us a shot with the 30 Cal flex and tell you this this gun is

If you’ve had a Shih Tzu for very long you know they can have issues with tear stains. This can lead to a build-up of bacteria which can then cause an unpleasant smell. It is best for your Shih Tzu and for you to keep their face as clean as possible, but what are the best face wipes for Shih Tzus? Here are some great options.
What Are The Best Face Wipes for Shih Tzus?
I’ve tried a lot of different face wipes over the years.
Both of my Shih Tzus tend to have a lot of issues with tear stains.
It’s pretty common with Shih Tzus.
So, to keep them looking, smelling, and feeling better, I do what I can to keep their faces clean.
I also want to make sure that the pet wipes don’t irritate or hurt my dog in any way.
It can be a balancing act, but using a face wipe each day is a quick and easy way to keep their cute little faces clean and looking their best.
Here are some tear stain removers, or pet wipes that I can personally recommend for Shih Tzus that have sensitive skin and any eye issues.
I’m only going to list three options because I have used all three of these and they have all worked well for me.
I don’t think you could go wrong with any of them.
1. Healthy Breeds Dog Tear Stain & Facial Wipes
- Mild and fragrance-free formula
- Made in the USA
- Wipes are made in federally regulated manufacturing facilities
These are the ones I use for both of my Shih Tzus, and they work really well.
2. Pogi’s Grooming Wipes
- Large Pet Wipes (8 x 9 inches)
- Made with 100% sustainably harvested bamboo fiber.
- Hypoallergenic – Completely free of parabens, alcohol, and harsh chemicals
- Conditioning Ingredients – Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, and Hawaiian Awapuhi
I’ve used these as well and they work really well. I like that they are hypoallergenic and the size is nice too.
- Reduces eye irritations and itching in your pet
- Contains no bleach, antibiotics, or harsh chemicals
- Gentle on the sensitive skin around the eyesPresoaked and textured wipes used to remove dried mucus, secretions, and tear stains
Finding and using face wipes or tear stain wipes is really important if you have a Shih Tzu.
Those tear stains aren’t just unattractive to look at, they are full of bacteria.
That bacteria can cause an eye infection and that’s the last thing you want.
If you haven’t been using tear stain wipes, the best time to start is after you have your Shih Tzu groomed or you give them a bath.
That way, any build-up they might have around their eyes will have been taken care of.
From there, you can use the wipes daily or even twice a day to keep any buildup from coming back.
My groomer has told me you can also use baby wipes and that they work well. That’s what she uses, but I have to admit that I prefer using wipes made specifically for this problem.
Just be sure if you go the baby wipe route that they are hypoallergenic and unscented.
You might also enjoy:
To Sum it All Up:
Tear stains are a common problem for Shih Tzus. It is best to use some sort of gentle face wipe or tear stain wipe daily to keep their face clean and free of nasty bacteria that can lead to health issues. The wipes are reasonably priced, so they are definitely worth the cost. Your Shih Tzu will thank you for using them.

To view my currently available Glass Landscapes, click here. Free shipping offered on all pieces.
Shadows and texture. Transparency and fluidity. Color and light. These are the qualities of kiln-fired glass that inspire my art. Using sheets of clear glass and finely crushed colored glass, I develop intimate landscapes and fire them at high temperatures in a kiln. Kiln-fired glass provides for limitless exploration, combined with the uncertainty of the heat to create magical floating images. A background in watercolor painting inspires my approach. I use dozens of colors of powdered glass, carefully sifting color upon color to create my complex images. Each art glass piece is fired between 8 and 10 separate times and will spend up to 300 hours in the kiln. With this technique, I develop unique art pieces filled with multifaceted, layered images and shimmering light.
To view my currently available work, click here. To see a short video about my unique process, click here. Or select an option from the above menu. Please contact me if you would like to inquire about my glass jewelry.
I am very pleased and honored to show my glass landscapes at ViVO Contemporary Gallery, 725 Canyon Road, Santa Fe, NM


Ohio law requires that when children are in foster care they be assigned a surrogate parent. Surrogate parents are community members who have been trained by the SST and appointed by the district superintendent to act as a parent in all matters related to education for that particular child. The Region 2 SST offers annual surrogate parent trainings. Please contact your local district if you are interested in being trained to serve as a surrogate parent. Remember that it takes a village to raise a child.


text: So for the past 3 weeks, I have been experiencing burning in my upper abdomen to the point of feeling like I am going to throw up. I end up gagging but not throwing up. It’s incredibly uncomfortable. I feel better once I eat something but sometimes after I eat, the burning comes back. And it occurs multiple times a day. I went to the doctor and they said it might be an ulcer. I am getting an endoscopy done next Thursday to see. I’ve also been told to not take any more ibuprofen and to only take Tylenol if needed. One of my other doctors a while ago told me the same thing but I couldn’t remember why, so stupid me decided to take ibuprofen again because it works better than Tylenol and I think that’s when the burning pain started. I wonder if this has been working up to this burning, meaning that all the times I sat trying to eat lunch but couldn’t because I thought it was my anxiety, could’ve been caused by the same thing that I’m dealing with now. I am currently trying to make sure I don’t eat things to trigger it and I am avoiding all alcohol. I would just like suggestions and recommendations on what to do in the meantime before I get this endoscopy done. Thanks.

MUMBAI, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Exports by India’s IT outsourcing sector are expected to rise 13-15 percent in the fiscal year starting April, an industry lobby group said on Tuesday, as an improving global economy encourages banks and companies to boost spending on technology.
IT services exports in 2014-15 are forecast to rise to as much $99 billion, according to the National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom).
The increase in growth rate compares with an estimated 13 percent rise in fiscal 2014, the lobby added.
“Clearly compared to what we saw in the industry 12 months ago to now, we are seeing a far more positive momentum in our major markets,” Nasscom Chairman Krishnakumar Natarajan, also chief executive of IT firm Mindtree Ltd, told reporters.
Last month, the International Monetary Fund raised its global economic growth forecast for the first time in nearly two years.
India’s biggest IT services outsourcing firms, Infosys and Tata Consultancy Services, have forecast stronger growth for IT spending in the next fiscal year by their main customers in Europe and the United States.

Curious about alternate universes, Batman agress to give Lois Lane the opportunity to travel to alternate realities in the form of an invisible hologram via her mind, and memorizes everything she learns for her perfect science fiction novel: The Lois Lane Chronicles.
Earth 1.AEditIn one universe, Lois relieves the day that an enemy of Comet the Super Horse turned her into a horse herself, but in this universe, nobody else ever knew. Her counterpart here than began her new permanent life as Comets mate and the mother of his son Silver Hoof and daughter Shadow Rain.
Earth 1.BEditIn the next universe, Lois sees herself changing back from a horse but stuck as a female centaur. Unlike her, this Lois Lane never returned to full human form, but that didn't stop Superman from marrying her and having centaur children.
Earth 1.CEditThe 3rd reality made Lois relieve the day that she entered an experimental deageing machine in order to win back the affection of Superman, only to be turned into a six month old or so baby, unlike in her home dimension, this Lois Lane stayed a baby and lost all of her adult memories and was adopted by Superman and his wife Lana Lang Kent.
Earth 1.DEditThe following dimension reveals that in this universe, Lois Lane is an African-American woman who was never ever white, but Superman loved her and married her despite what some people thought about Clark Kent's decision.
Earth 1.EEditThe fifth universe that Lois traveled to is when she got soo badly injured during a deep water dive, that she had to surgically be turned into a Mermaid. Unlike her, this Lois Lane was forever a Mermaid, and grew to love her new life. She and Superman still got married and had a family, and their children were also merpeople.
In this universe, Lois saw her time displaced self from a future timeline raise and adopted a baby Clark Kent/Superman after his Rocket Ship crash landed and accidentally killed Mr. and Mrs. Kent, raising on the Kent farm as her own son. In this new timeline, Lois Lanes younger self was killed by a drunk driver, and Superman married Lana Lang. The reason why the much older Lois still exists in this new timeline is due to the result of a paradox. This Lois never told this Superman that they were originally ment to be husband and wife, especially since raising him as a baby made her instead love him like a mother loves her own child. Eventually, she grew to except Lana as her daughter in law and the mother of her two grandsons and granddaughters.
Back to Earth 1Edit
After returning to her reality and informing Batman of everything she had learned, she later wrote and published her book entitled "The Lois Lane Chronicles", but left out certain part that would've revealed Superman`s secret identity. It later became a #1 Best Seller and turned into a movie also named The Lois Lane Chronicles. Her next noval as called "When Lois met Superman".
Notes and TriviaEdit
- The first five dimensions that Lois travels to are all based on original DC Comicbooks from the 1960s and 1970s.
- Earth 1.F is the only universe in this comic not based on an original comicbook.
- Lois' 2nd book, "When Lois met Superman", has its tital baced on the movie "When Harry met Sally.

My first thought when I saw this was: wood cutting? Then I saw the notebook and realized that it was just a very clean ink drawing. I think I'm seeing some Tetsuya Nomura influences in the design--its very The World Ends With You, Final Fantasy XV or Kingdom Hearts in terms of the faces and the jagged lines between. This is one of those drawings that should encourage the rest of us to do more with less in our artwork. There's not a whole lot actually going on in this shot, but it gives the illusion of busyness and motion because of the clever placement of the jagged lines dividing the two faces. In terms of its themes, I'm guessing its some sort of angst related, and that the lines symbolize a gulf between the two individuals that is not easily crossed. Great stuff!
This looks like it was very carefully made! It sure must took you alot of time to make this, and it sure was worth it! I love the way you draw, I've seen your other art and I absolutely loved them! You draw so carefully, it's very amazing! There are a few people with your talent and i'm sure dA is glad your one of those people! Your art is three words: Amazing, Awesome, Astonishing. I really enjoy watching your speed draw videos, they inspire me to draw more and more. Great job, please continue drawing. I look up to more of your art.
Although it isn't my style,i like it.I think it would look better with the facial structures being more real. Anyway,your style is different and thats what matters the most. The shapes are very sharp looking.That's my two cents.


Following his critically-acclaimed Elgar Cello Concerto recording with Alisa Weilerstein, Barenboim turns to the symphonies. The Second Symphony is released first, in a 2013 recording with the Staatskapelle Berlin. The First Symphony will follow in 2015.
As the present principal conductor of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Sakari Oramo has chosen works by Edward Elgar, a composer whose music he has been a fervent advocate of since his tenure at the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. Oramo’s commitment to Elgar has been rewarded with a medal of honour from the British Elgar Society.
Daniel Barenboim continues his acclaimed Elgar series with the landmark First Symphony. These new issues mark the first time that indefatigable maestro Barenboim has returned to recording Elgar’s symphonic works since the 1970s.
This recording is the latest step in maestro Barenboim’s Elgarian journey with the Berlin Staatskapelle, following on from well-received performances of Elgar’s Dream of Gerontius, the Cello Concerto (recorded live with Alisa Weilerstein for Decca), and Elgar’s Second Symphony – about which the Guardian wrote: “The surging, unquenchable energy of this account is obvious from the opening bars, which are borne on an irresistible flood of sound from the Berlin Staatskapelle
In the decades since its founding, the Scottish National Orchestra has earned a reputation as a distinguished ensemble with an extensive concert schedule, wide-ranging repertoire, and a significant representation on recordings. The SNO is the direct descendant of the Scottish Orchestra, founded in Glasgow in 1890; with the establishment of the Scottish National Orchestra Society in 1950 with monies from Glasgow, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and Dundee, the SNO became a permanent ensemble. Throughout its first 40 years, the Scottish Orchestra had no permanent principal conductor, instead relying on a series of eminent guest conductors.
Gustav Mahler’s epic Symphony No. 2 ‘Resurrection’ with Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker, the Rundfunkchor Berlin and star soloists Kate Royal and Magdalena Kožená was recorded in concert at Berlin’s Philharmonie in late October 2010. The Symphony, scored for orchestra, soloists and chorus, tackles the great mysteries of life and death and was already among the most successful and popular of Mahler’s symphonies during his lifetime. Not only was the work premiered by the Berliner Philharmoniker (in 1895) but it is an important work in Simon Rattle’s musical trajectory. The partnership of Sir Simon and the BPO in Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 portends a ground-breaking new recording.

Last week, the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group (HSTCSG) took part in the first-of-its-kind major exercise in the Atlantic. From May 28 to May 31, the U.S. Northern Command led a major homeland defense drill, known as Operation Eagle, that was conducted in partnership with North American Aerospace Defense Command, U.S. Transportation Command, U.S. Strategic Command and U.S. Space Command.
This was the first such large-scale exercise that involved four combatant commands and NORAD. It involved homeland defense operations, joint integration exercises and multinational operations. It also was meant to strengthen the interoperability in command and control.
“Leading complex multi-combatant command operations across multiple domains demonstrates our readiness to defend our homeland regardless of COVID-19,” said General Terrence J. O'Shaughnessy, commander of NORAD and USNORTHCOM. “The high-end training we are conducting enables integration between strategic-level organizations who all play a significant role in the most important mission for our nation – defending our homeland.”
The exercise was as much about the ability for the various commands to work together and the new technology that is helping tie such diverse groups together. The participants taking part in the drills utilized the Link 16 tactical data system, which enhanced the tactical capabilities by allowing the individual players to share real-time situation awareness and command and control data.
The U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM) provided a B-1B Lancer long-range bomber to simulate an enemy and attempt to penetrate U.S. airspace to provide realistic training to the forces during the training. The B-1B was likely selected for its “Red Team” role as the multi-mission, supersonic bomber can rapidly deliver massive quantities of precision and non-precision munitions against an adversary anywhere in the world at any time.
To defend the skies of North America from the simulated threat, NORAD conducted air defense exercise drills that included CF-18s from the Canadian Air Force and U.S. F-15s, which were fueled by a U.S Transportation Command KC-135 Stratotanker, which remain the most numerous Air Force tanker in U.S. service.
The NORAD aircraft conducted air intercept exercises in conjunction with F/A-19 fighters from the HSTCSG. The carrier strike group (CSG) is comprised of the flagship Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) and the embarked squadrons of Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 1, and the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Normandy (CG 60). HSTCSG has remained at sea a combat-ready global response force throughout the coronavirus pandemic. In April the Pentagon announced it would stay at sea, despite the fact it had conducted two deployments in a row without any major maintenance period. HSTCSG has remained the only on-call strike group on the East Coast.
The exercise was a show of power and demonstrated the U.S. Northern Command ability to deter, detect and notably defeat threats to the United States, as it conducted its primary mission of defending the homeland.

Larry Pantuso has been named vice president of planning and business development at Washington Health System.
Pantuso, 46, previously directed cardiovascular services at Washington Hospital, a position that he held for about a year. Pantuso served as director of emergency services at West Virginia University Hospitals and director of the interventional cardiac laboratories at West Penn Allegheny Health System.
Pantuso’s appointment comes within months of the hospital launching a branding program, which focuses on the full array of health care services provided by the hospital network. Greenbrier Treatment Center and the Wilfred R. Cameron Wellness Center are among the system’s programs.
“A lot of people think the health system is a red brick building at 155 Wilson Ave.” Pantuso said. “There is so much more to the Washington Hospital than the name, but you would never know that.
“It’s really a system.”
Among his responsibilities is service line enhancement and collaboration. In the new world of health care reform, medical services have to be developed almost before they’re needed, he said. “The key to the future of health care is to expand service lines not only for tomorrow, but five years down the road,” Pantuso said.

The Art Spirit – Robert Henri (1865-1929)
A serendipitous moment in a public library led me to discover one of the best art instructors I have ever had. While browsing through the art section I glanced at the bottom shelf where I saw a small blue-covered book entitled The Art Spirit. Those were the days when one could see the due dates of previous readers of each book. Checking the date due page I saw that this one had not been checked out for twenty years!
At that point, I had never heard of the artist and teacher Robert Henri but the book seemed promising. Since then it has become my favorite book and one that I can pick up, open to any page and be reminded of why art is so important in our lives. I have since seen Henri’s work in many large museums all over the world. One can recognize his portraits at a glance for they embody his ideal of “the art spirit.”
This is a book not only for the artist but for anyone who appreciates art and its value in our lives. More importantly, it is a book that encompasses the philosophy of living life to its fullest. I am always discovering words of encouragement, which continually help me to persevere in making art.

text: COPD is a condition characterized by progressive airflow obstruction which is rather insensible to bronchodilators. The pathogenetic mechanisms of this disorder are multifaceted, encompassing pulmonary inflammation, small airway remodelling, emphysema and mucous hypersecretion. As our comprehension of the heterogeneous pathology of the disease has improved it has been recognized that the ongoing inflammatory process in COPD is correlated with the relentlessness of this condition. Therefore, the scientific interest has been directed in the development of new anti-inflammatory drugs targeting pulmonary inflammation. In this survey, we will try to evaluate current treatment options and the potential and efficacy of new treatment modalities.

Some seventy-five years after the boundaries of the British Mandate for Palestine were set, the State of Israel still lacks a defined territory and agreed-upon boundaries, except for its boundary with Egypt. This book examines this unusual situation, concentrating especially on the perceptions of territory and boundaries within the Zionist movement.
Galnoor discusses the period from the first territorial decision in 1919 up to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, placing special emphasis on the relatively unknown Zionist, Palestinian, and Arab positions regarding territorial partition in 1937. And he argues that although dramatic changes have occurred in the international and regional arena, the partners to the conflict, the security considerations, and the international dilemmas, the 1937 decision contained the parameters of the choices that have confronted Arab and Israeli leaders ever since. His findings are of direct relevance to the ongoing Arab-Israeli peace negotiations, which once again revolve around the trade-off between national goals and territorial aspirations.
Itzhak Galnoor is Professor of Political Science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and editor of the Eshkolot Library, a book series on society and politics in Israel. He was awarded the Naftali Prize in Social Sciences in 1987 for his book Steering the Polity—Communications and Politics in Israel.
"The merits of this study are of an uncommon order. It is an impressive use of rich historical materials by a political scientist to clarify crucial concepts — state, nation, territory, sovereignty, boundaries — and to probe fundamental issues. Galnoor examines the relative importance of geography and politics, pragmatism and ideology, in the choice among options on a fateful issue that is suffused with passion; the decision process; coalition-building; and the role of perceptions and attitudes in political behavior, in this case a turning point vote by a national movement. It is a highly analytical work, with a well-articulated framework and clearly defined categories, concepts, and research questions." — Michael Brecher, McGill University
"I found this book fascinating. As I read, I was constantly discussing it with those around me. It illuminated the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict from a perspective I had not thought much about." — Joel S. Migdal, University of Washington
