1. Field of the Invention
The invention pertains to a method for an imaging ultrasonic inspection of a three-dimensional workpiece, in which ultrasonic waves are coupled into the workpiece with one ultrasonic transducer or a number of ultrasonic transducers and ultrasonic waves reflected within the workpiece are received by a number of ultrasonic transducers and converted into ultrasonic signals forming the basis of the non-destructive imaging ultrasonic inspection.
2. Description of the Art
The non-destructive inspection of a test body by means of ultrasound, for example, for testing materials for material defects such as cracks, inclusions or other material nonhomogeneities comprises the coupling of ultrasonic waves into the test body, the detection of the ultrasonic waves that are transmitted through the test body or reflected, diffracted, scattered and/or refracted within the test body, as well as the evaluation of the ultrasonic waves that are converted into ultrasonic signals.
The above-described known inspection method makes it possible to determine and evaluate the ultrasonic transmission properties and reflection properties of a test body. In this method that was originally developed in medical engineering (ultrasound diagnostics), defective spots such as material cracks, foreign inclusions or material boundaries situated within a test body can be illustrated in the form of regions with different reflection properties by evaluating the received ultrasonic signals accordingly. The position, shape and size of the defective spots can be illustrated three-dimensionally with a high resolution.
It is quite obvious that this method is used in numerous fields of application. For example, this method is used for testing and measuring homogeneity or stability properties of structural components (concrete walls, ceiling or wall elements, etc.) or for detecting cracks, for example, in wheels of rail vehicles or aircraft parts.
A number of ultrasonic transducers that are combined into a so-called ultrasonic probe or array probe in order to simplify their handling are used in many instances of non-destructive material testing by means of ultrasound. There basically exist two types of ultrasonic probes. A pulse-echo probe is used if the probe couples an ultrasonic wave packet into the test body and then receives the ultrasonic waves reflected within the test body. Probes with separate ultrasonic transducers for coupling in and for receiving ultrasonic waves are referred to as transmitting-receiving probes.
In all ultrasonic test systems with sound field control known to date, the individual ultrasonic transducers are acted upon in a time-coordinated fashion such that the ultrasonic transducers can be activated independently of one another in a time-controlled fashion and, for example, serve as ultrasonic transmitters or receivers. Such a separate activation makes it possible, in particular, to respectively operate the individual ultrasonic transducers with different phase position and amplitude.
Array probes, in which a number of individual ultrasonic transducers are provided in order to realize a controlled emission and detection of ultrasonic waves, are able to stimulate ultrasonic waves in a test body under arbitrary acoustic irradiation angles and in any predefined focusing ranges and to receive ultrasonic waves from these acoustic irradiation regions. In order to carry out such a measurement for investigating the ultrasonic transmission capability of a test body, a control device acts upon at least one ultrasonic transducer of the array probe, usually several ultrasonic transducers of the array probe for a limited, brief time interval in order to couple ultrasonic waves into the test body. The thusly created ultrasonic wave packets being coupled in are reflected, for example, on material discontinuities within the test body and returned to the ultrasonic transducers that now operate as receivers in the form of reflected ultrasonic waves, wherein the ultrasonic transducers convert the reflected ultrasonic waves into ultrasonic signals and transmit these ultrasonic signals to the control device for evaluation purposes. The time period between the beginning of the transmission process and the end of the reception process of the ultrasonic signals is usually referred to as a measuring cycle.
In many instances, it is important to determine the transmission and reflection properties of a test body with the highest possible resolution within the test body volume. To this end, the time delays for the transmission cycles are adjusted accordingly in order to predefine the acoustic irradiation direction as well as the depth of field. The received ultrasonic signals of the individual ultrasonic transducers of the array probe are added up with corresponding phase delays such that an ultrasonic signal for a certain acoustic irradiations angle and, if applicable, a certain depth of field is generated in a transmission cycle, wherein such instances are referred to as so-called A-images. The A-image represents the ultrasonic echo along a predefined “viewing or sound propagation direction” through the test body. Such an image can be considered as a 1-dimensional sectional image similar to a line of section through the test body, along which ultrasonic echo signals are illustrated in a spatially resolved fashion. If the ultrasonic transmission through the test body takes place at different angles, that is if the sound beam is pivoted in the test body, preferably within a uniform pivoting plane, it is possible to reconstruct a so-called sector image that is composed of a number of individual A-images.
The disadvantages of utilizing the phased array method for a non-destructive material inspection on a test body, however, can be seen in the expenditure of time and the metrological expenditure until a test body is inspected in a largely complete fashion, namely because it is essential for a complete signal evaluation to obtain sufficiently reliable measuring signals from all regions of the test body volume. For example, only information on the reflection properties along a predefined acoustic irradiation direction of the test body can be obtained in one measuring cycle or a number of individual measuring cycles with identical phase control of the ultrasonic transducers. Consequently, an inspection of the entire test body volume requires a very large number of measurements with respectively different phase controls such that the expenditure of time for the complete material test is quite high. The adjustment of a new acoustic irradiation angle or a new focal position also requires a labor-intensive and time-consuming reprogramming process.
Another disadvantage can be seen in that a predefined acoustic irradiation angle specifies the probe aperture, that is, the aperture cannot be optimally chosen for all acoustic irradiation angles such that the resolution of the measurements deteriorates.
If controls with respect to the manufacturing quality of industrial products should be carried out online by means of currently available ultrasonic test techniques, that is, as an integral part of the manufacturing process, the measures required for the quality inspection should not have any effects that impede or slow down the manufacturing process. The manufacture of workpieces realized in the form of extruded profiles, for example, steel billets, rods or profiles of any type such as, in particular, rails manufactured in an extrusion moulding process requires reliably operating test methods in order to fulfill the strictest quality requirements. As initially mentioned, online inspections of workpieces in the form of extruded profiles that are transported or conveyed along production lines with speeds of a few meters per second by means of ultrasonic test techniques known so far are not sufficiently fast and associated with excessive costs and device expenditures. Even imaging reconstruction methods that are based on the so-called synthetic aperture technique (Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique—SAFT), in which all ultrasonic signals received at different measuring points of the test object are projected back into the material, require a substantial expenditure of time for the measurement and the image reconstruction such that they are completely unsuitable for an online inspection. The reasons for this substantial expenditure of time can be seen in the recording of the ultrasonic signals with a moving ultrasonic transducer and the time-consuming evaluation of the recorded ultrasonic time signals for the image reconstruction.
Another disadvantage of thus far known ultrasonic test techniques that utilize array systems can be seen in the restricted mutual spacing between the ultrasonic transducers that should be smaller than half the wavelength of the ultrasonic waves to be coupled into the respective test body so as to prevent false echoes or artifacts in the reconstructed ultrasonic image.
The invention is a method for an imaging ultrasonic inspection of a three-dimensional workpiece, in which ultrasonic waves are coupled into the workpiece with one ultrasonic transducer or a number of ultrasonic transducers and ultrasonic waves reflected within the workpiece are received by a number of ultrasonic transducers and converted into ultrasonic signals forming the basis of the non-destructive imaging ultrasonic inspection, namely such that it is possible to realize a fast and online-compatible inspection of workpieces that preferably should be carried out during their manufacturing process. The required expenditures with respect to devices, evaluation technology and ultimately costs should be maintained as low as possible and costly and bulky sensor carriers should be largely eliminated. Furthermore, it should be possible to carry out the inventive method independently of the manner in which the ultrasonic waves are coupled into the test body.
The invention is based on a novel metrological approach in connection with algorithms for reconstructing ultrasonic images while simultaneously suppressing artifacts at imperfect apertures in the physical-mechanical sense.
The method therefore comprises the following steps: n ultrasonic transducers are arranged around a workpiece to be inspected which is realized in the form of an extruded profile or rod, for example, a rail track, in a cross-sectional plane of the workpiece, preferably along a line. The ultrasonic transducers preferably are arranged around the workpiece in a uniformly distributed fashion, that is, with a respectively identical spacing between two directly adjacent ultrasonic transducers referred to the circumferential direction. In such a measuring constellation, a first ultrasonic transducer or the first group i of ultrasonic transducers that are preferably arranged adjacent to one another is activated in order to realize the acoustic irradiation of a first ultrasonic field or of i ultrasonic fields into the workpiece. When activating a group i of ultrasonic transducers, the number i needs to be chosen smaller than the number of all ultrasonic transducers arranged around the workpiece.
In contrast to the generation of ultrasonic waves, a number m of ultrasonic transducers, preferably the entire number n of ultrasonic transducers that are three-dimensionally distributed around the workpiece, is available for receiving the ultrasonic waves that are reflected within the workpiece or transmitted through the workpiece. This means that the ultrasonic waves coupled into the workpiece by at least one ultrasonic transducer are received by a number of ultrasonic transducers, preferably by all ultrasonic transducers arranged around the workpiece. The ultrasonic time signals that are detected by the ultrasonic transducers and contain amplitude information in a temporally resolved fashion are correspondingly stored for subsequent reconstructive processing or immediately fed to an evaluation, in which a 2-dimensional ultrasonic image, that is, a B-image, is reconstructed or an A-image in the form of a one-dimensional ultrasonic echo signal is reconstructed along a predefined acoustic irradiation angle in a temporally and spatially resolved fashion, namely by utilizing the stored or prepared ultrasonic signals only.
Since the reception apertures of the ultrasonic transducers arranged around the workpiece overlap, namely at least the reception apertures of two ultrasonic transducers that are arranged directly adjacent to one another, the central region of the workpiece volume can be surveyed in its entirety. This is referred to as a so-called closed aperture which ensures that all ultrasonic waves emerging from the workpiece can be detected from different directions in space after being reflected on material discontinuities in the workpiece or after being transmitted through the workpiece in an unhindered fashion.
It would be possible, in principle, to obtain sufficient information for generating a B-image or an A-image from the ultrasonic echoes detected during the course of a single measuring cycle, that is, during a single activation of an ultrasonic transducer or a group i of ultrasonic transducers and the reception of the ultrasonic echoes. Depending on the type of workpiece to be inspected, the defined measuring task and the required recording quality and image resolution, it is advantageous to acoustically irradiate the workpiece from different directions in space in several measuring cycles, namely with differently positioned ultrasonic transducers or differently positioned groups i of ultrasonic transducers. However, all ultrasonic transducers grouped around the workpiece preferably serve as receivers in each measuring cycle. Due to this measure, possible material discontinuities within the workpiece are acoustically irradiated in a cyclic fashion with ultrasonic fields from different directions in space, wherein the respectively reflected ultrasonic waves are detected and correspondingly stored by all ultrasonic transducers, namely with consideration of the respective ultrasonic transit times and amplitude information. Based on the stored ultrasonic transit time signals, B-images for the respective test position of the workpiece to be inspected relative to the ultrasonic wave arrangement are reconstructed with the aid of special reconstruction modules and reconstruction techniques. The main aspect forming the basis of the reconstruction therefore takes into account the ultrasonic transit times from each individual ultrasonic transmitter to a certain point in space within the workpiece to be inspected and back to each individual ultrasonic receiver. Such a transit time-related reconstruction makes it possible to divide the volume of the workpiece to be inspected into a multitude of individual small volume regions or so-called voxels, to which ultrasonic echo signals are respectively assigned in dependence on amplitude information and transit time information. In this respect, the transit time-related reconstruction results in a focusing effect, wherein the focal point lies in each individual voxel of the workpiece volume to be inspected. Due to the uniform spatial distribution of all ultrasonic transducers provided for the transmission and the reception of ultrasonic waves along a linear arrangement around the workpiece to be inspected, the multitude of individual voxels, to which corresponding ultrasonic transit time signals can be assigned, preferably lies in a two-dimensional plane of section through the workpiece. Due to the directness of the ultrasonic time signals detected by the ultrasonic transducers as well as the fast assignment of individual time and amplitude information to the individual voxels by means of corresponding evaluation technology, it is possible to obtain a sector image or B-image through the workpiece online. In this case, the ultrasonic information that can be assigned to the individual voxels is illustrated on an image plane that represents the acoustically irradiated plane of section through the workpiece, for example, by means of numerical data or color coding, such that it is also possible to visually evaluate the ultrasonic signals obtained online.
An improved sectional image or a material discontinuity that is acoustically irradiated from all sides in space is respectively realized by carrying out a number of individual measuring cycles in rapid succession, wherein all ultrasonic transmitters distributed around the workpiece respectively serve as transmitters. The sectional images or A-images obtained in each individual measuring cycle are combined in order to thusly obtain a largely complete view of possible material discontinuities within the workpiece.
The high measuring and evaluation speeds achieved with the invention also make it possible to acoustically irradiate workpieces that move along a production line with transport speeds of a few m/sec, for example, up to 10 m/sec, in the above-described measuring mode, that is, the workpieces are acoustically irradiated by all ultrasonic transducers in individual successive measuring cycles in order to obtain meaningful sectional images that form the basis for evaluating the workpiece quality.
If several sectional images are produced sequentially due to the self-movement of the workpiece to be inspected, the combination of a multitude of individual sectional images recorded in the longitudinal direction of a workpiece makes it possible to realize a 3D reconstruction of the complete workpiece by means of a corresponding interpolation between the individual B-images.
The method of the invention is described in greater detail below with reference to concrete embodiments.
The invention is described in an exemplary fashion below with reference to embodiments that are illustrated in the figures, namely without restricting the general object of the invention. The figures show:
With respect to a pictorial explanation of the invention, reference is made to the transmission cycles 1 to 4 according to the illustrations shown in
In a first transmission cycle that is illustrated in
The number and the size of the ultrasonic transducers to be provided along the workpiece to be inspected results from the respectively required defect detection limits and the spatial geometry of the workpiece to be inspected. It is also possible to utilize the method of the invention in connection with suitable coupling mediums between the individual ultrasonic transducers and the workpiece to be inspected, for example, within a water bath 5 illustrated in
In comparison with conventional techniques for coupling in ultrasonic waves, the method of the invention provides the following advantages:

Overcome Nervousness in Your Video-Conference MeetingsJuly 20, 2020
“Anxiety is essential for creativity.” –Soren Kierkegaard
Have you ever been stressed in your sleep?
Perhaps you tossed through a restless night of dreams, finding that, when you were most physically exhausted, you ended up “working hard” all night. Common anxiety dreams include arriving late to the airport (without a passport or luggage), laboring at work with frustrating results, arriving for a huge test and realizing you never did any prior homework or studying, or falling, being chased, or losing something.
Anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worry, and physical changes like increased blood pressure. Whether you sense foreboding about the future or you’re responding to the trauma of the past, everyone deals with stress or anxiety sometimes.
And while most of us dread the pangs of anxiety, it can actually be a productive and inspiring muse.
Keys to Harnessing Your Mental Energy
Neuroscientist and author Joseph LeDoux called anxiety, “the price we pay for an ability to imagine the future.”
“That’s what anxiety is,” he told the New York State Writers Institute in 2016, “an imagination of a future that hasn’t happened yet, but that you are concerned with, worried about, dreading, and so on.”
If you find your worries sometimes kick into overdrive, remember that every artist is blessed with an active imagination, and your mental energy is something that can be harnessed for everything from your next poem to your solution for today’s biggest obstacles.
Want to conquer stress before it conquers you?
In his book, “Mastering Creative Anxiety,” creativity coach and psychologist Dr. Eric Maisel lays out 22 different anxiety management tools (enough that everyone can find at least one or two that may work well!).
Here are just three he recommends:
1. The simplest is to remember to breathe; a few deep cleansing breaths can do wonders for reducing anxiety.
2. The most important anxiety management tool is probably cognitive work, where you change the things you say to yourself, turning anxious thoughts into calmer, more productive thoughts.
Want ideas? Here is a free PDF from The Creative Independent on how artists deal with creative anxiety.
3. Creating a lifestyle that supports calmness is also very important: if the way you live your life produces a lot of anxiety, that’s a tremendous extra burden on your nervous system.
A Time for Creativity and Strategic Marketing
Many entrepreneurs believe that mastering professional anxiety involves focus.
While some things are beyond your control, worrying about these can make you crazy. Instead, focus on what is within your influence: like creativity, productivity, and strategic marketing. As you hit reset in your summer or fall season, now is the time to push ahead on new projects, get strategic about networking, or to establish self-care habits that maximize energy while inspiring great ideas.
While you can’t take the anxiety of life, you can see it for the positive aspects it brings. For example, the two characters that make up the Chinese word for crisis, when taken separately, mean “danger” and “opportunity.” We’ve all felt the alarm of the COVID-19 season, but now it’s time to embrace the opportunities and innovation this reset may bring.
Want to see some examples of how other businesses are approaching marketing at this time? Give us a call to chat about strategic print options!

Amsterdam, The Netherlands; 15 March 2016
AerData, the provider of lease management, records management and engine fleet planning software, are delighted to announce the integration between two AerData software products; a seamless, two-way ’Connector’ between GEARS and STREAM.
GEARS (Global Electronic Asset Review System), is a digital tool designed to standardize data collection for routine audits and inspections.
STREAM (Secure Technical Records for Electronic Asset Management) is the industry’s foremost web-based solution used by some of the world’s largest airlines, lessors and MROs to manage aircraft and engine records.
Commenting on the announcement, Justin de Looper, Manager Technical Services & GEARS Support Team, said, “Following customer feedback and a rigorous testing period, we are excited to bring to market the STREAM to GEARS connector. This will enable customers to realize the benefits of automated audit and inspection data transfer from GEARS to STREAM, contributing to a centralised archive in STREAM. In addition, it will allow convenient document linking from STREAM to GEARS so that inspectors can simply populate their audit reports with data that has already been collected and still valid. For customers using GEARS, this will improve the quality of data entry in their technical audits, reduce the time required for on-site presence and reduce the overall costs and risks normally associated with manual data entry.”
AerData provides lease management, records management, engine fleet planning and audit and inspection software as well as technical and back office services for aircraft and engine operators, lessors and MROs. With a strong customer focus, AerData delivers a reliable and secure service to its clients using latest technologies and state of the art infrastructure.
AerData was acquired by The Boeing Company and became part of Boeing Commercial Aviation Services in May 2014. These include parts, training, engineering, maintenance and software solutions that increase the efficiency and profitability of airlines and leasing companies.

Double take on Woodside logo
Subscribe to Business News.
Woodside Petroleum’s impending move to its new offices has provided an unexpected visibility and branding boost, with the oil and gas company’s logo appearing on two prominent Perth CBD skyscrapers.
While its new headquarters at the AAIG-developed Capital Square is not expected to be complete before the end of the year, the Woodside logo has already been installed atop the building.
The oil and gas giant’s mark remains on Woodside Plaza, and will remain there until its lease expires in early 2018.
It is not the first time an office move in Perth has resulted in a company logo featuring on two buildings at the same time.
The Bankwest logo remained on the office tower at 108 St Georges Terrace after the bank shifted to its current headquarters at Raine Square in 2012.
However, the most prominent sign in the city belongs to BHP Billiton, with its sign at the top of Brookfield Place a dominant feature of Perth’s skyline.
JLL Western Australia managing director John Williams said it was likely no accident that the Woodside sign was installed so far ahead of the company’s move, with signage rights an increasingly important part of any major firm’s business development strategy.
“I think there is a real value in it,” Mr Williams told Business News.
“We’ve just put a sign up on the largest building in Adelaide, we would do it here but Rio Tinto has signage rights on our building.
“It’s all about perception; you have a thumping big building there and people now drive in and see Woodside’s name on that great thumping big building, and they immediately have an image of the size of the organisation.
“It’s a psychological impact.”
Mr Williams said WA’s sixth biggest law firm Lavan Legal’s new sign on The Quadrant at 1 William Street was another example of how having a name up in lights can alter the public’s awareness of a company.
“Lavan Legal is a classic example of a mid-sized legal firm that immediately has increased the market’s perception of its size and importance because it is the only legal firm with a sign up,” he said.

Fine art painting and contemporary practice, Limerick School of Art and Design
New Generation Gallery 2020
My practice steams from contemporary fine art painting and has expanded to include photography both analogue and digital, video, animation, and sculpture. I create from my surroundings either taking photography of different architectural spaces and deriving works from the history of the space or my own interaction with the space itself. I believe painting is at a time where it is post medium.

Rolls-Royce shrugs off turbulence as profits jump 4%
The civil aerospace and defence firm yesterday said success in winning new customers and orders, as well as its ongoing focus on costs, meant annual underlying profits improved to 915 million in 2009. Revenues increased 14 per cent to 10.4 billion, while the final dividend was increased by 5 per cent to 9p per share. .
It expects 2010 trading conditions to remain challenging, but stressed it was confident of matching last year's revenues and profits. Chief executive Sir John Rose said: "Rolls-Royce has delivered solid results, despite difficult trading conditions. This demonstrates the resilience of our business."
The company's order book stood at 58.3bn at the end of the year after new business intake of 13.4bn during 2009. This included growth in the civil aerospace division's order book to 47bn after new orders totalling 9.4bn in the year.
However, volatile trading conditions and the continuing effects of major programme delays hit profits, which fell to 493m from 566m a year earlier.

There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.
The comic is the perception of the opposite; humor is the feeling of it.

A blood cancer diagnosis like multiple myeloma can leave you feeling overwhelmed and full of questions. We hope this guide can help ease your mind a little and provide you with enough information to prepare for your first appointment with the medical oncologist who will create a treatment plan for you.
Different types and subtypes of multiple myeloma exist, which are based on the immunoglobulin (protein) produced by the myeloma cell. Your doctor will be able to tell you more about your specific type and how it will affect the kind of treatment you receive.
Your myeloma diagnosis may have come from your primary care physician (PCP) or another doctor who cared for you when you noticed symptoms. However, you’ll need to see a medical oncologist or hematologist for cancer treatment.
Oncology is the medical study of cancer, and a medical oncologist is a doctor of oncology specializing in cancer care, including treatments. Hematology is the branch of medicine focused on blood diseases, and a hematologist is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of blood diseases.
Most medical oncologists are also hematologists and fully qualified to care for multiple myeloma patients. As a patient of Willamette Valley Cancer Institute and Research Center, your physician will spend time with you and your family to understand your specific situation.
Once your hematologist-oncologist has learned more about your specific diagnosis, he/she will consult with you and the rest of your care team to develop a personalized treatment plan. Your care team might include additional specialists, such as:
You might have many other specialists on your treatment team as well, including physician assistants (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs), nurses, psychologists, nutritionists, social workers, and other health professionals.
Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that begins in the bone marrow, specifically in plasma cells (white blood cells that produce antibodies). Myeloma begins when healthy plasma cells change and grow out of control. This may result in multiple bone lesions that increase the risk of bone fractures, hence the phrase “multiple myeloma.”
Multiple myeloma affects the places where bone marrow is active in an adult. The bones of the spine, skull, pelvis, rib cage and the areas around the shoulders and hips are the most common sites to be affected.
After a multiple myeloma diagnosis, a lot of information will be coming your way from your cancer care team— much of which can be hard to remember. Therefore, before meeting your oncologist, we recommend that you determine the best way to write it down. For some, a notebook for notes and a folder for paperwork is best. For others, the “notes” feature on their smartphone is enough. Pick what works best for you and then be diligent at using it.
You should start taking notes as soon as you’re diagnosed, regardless of what type of medical professional you are seeing. Keep track of any questions, dates, medicine schedules, and how you are feeling. All of this important information will be helpful to your cancer care team.
During your first appointment, there will be a lot of information reviewed, and it can be hard to process everything if you’re alone. Therefore, we encourage you to bring a relative or friend along. Read our recommendations on preparing for your first visit at Willamette Valley Cancer Institute and Research Center.
Willamette Valley Cancer Institute and Research Center is fortunate to be a member of The US Oncology Network, one of the nation’s most extensive community-based cancer treatment and research networks. Through our partnership with The US Oncology Network, we can provide many investigational drugs through clinical trials, so that patients have access to treatment options that are not fully available to everyone yet. We are currently offering multiple trials for eligible blood cancer patients, including those with multiple myeloma. Learn more and view open myeloma clinical trials in our area. Be sure to ask your physician if any current trials are a good fit for you.
It’s important that you feel confident about your diagnosis. Therefore, you may want to get a second opinion before beginning any treatment plan. At WVCI, our oncologists provide many second opinions— for all types of cancer diagnoses and treatment plans. Most insurance companies will cover a second opinion assessment, but you should always check with your insurance provider to check your coverage before making an appointment.
To schedule a second opinion with one of our physicians, please choose the location that is convenient for you and call our office to make an appointment. WVCI has offices located in the Corvallis, Eugene, and Florence areas.
At Willamette Valley Cancer Institute and Research Center, we understand this is a difficult time. However, you can do this, and the WVCI team of physicians and cancer care specialists are ready to help you every step of the way. You might also find comfort by visiting our Resources page. You can also check out our list of support groups that you may find helpful.

What is PRP therapy?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy for hair loss is a three-step medical treatment in which a person’s blood is drawn, processed, and then injected into the scalp.
Some in the medical community think that PRP injections trigger natural hair growth and maintain it by increasing blood supply to the hair follicle and increasing the thickness of the hair shaft. Sometimes this approach is combined with other hair loss procedures or medications.
There hasn’t been enough research to prove if PRP is an effective hair loss treatment. However, PRP therapy has been in use since the 1980s. It’s been used for problems such as healing injured tendons, ligaments, and muscles.
PRP therapy process
PRP therapy is a three-step process. Most PRP therapy requires three treatments 4–6 weeks apart.
Maintenance treatments are required every 4–6 months.
Your blood is drawn — typically from your arm — and put into a centrifuge (a machine that spins rapidly to separate fluids of different densities).
After about 10 minutes in the centrifuge, your blood will have separated into in three layers:
red blood cells
The platelet-rich plasma is drawn up into a syringe and then injected into areas of the scalp that need increased hair growth.
Benefits of Sunetics for Hair Regrowth
Hair loss is a progressive problem, which means it worsens over time, and it can negatively affect your self-esteem, confidence, personal relationships and career. Every year, thousands of patients start to feel the effects of this problem, and it’s not uncommon for people to try many non-invasive treatments.
Prescription drugs are popular, but they’re not very safe for some women, and they can cause significant sexual problems for some men. Gels and topical solutions require a lifetime commitment and may still not be effective.
The Sunetics laser serves as a better solution for hair loss, and it doesn’t involve side effects, surgery, drugs or discomfort. Since the Sunetics laser heals the follicle, it offers long-lasting results. After undergoing laser therapy, 99 percent of patients experience less shedding, and the problem begins to stabilize.
Over time, 90 percent of patients enjoy measurable hair regrowth. A major benefit of this laser treatment for hair loss is the lack of discomfort, and the Sunetics laser doesn’t use consumable products.
Benefits of PRP for Hair Loss
Another great treatment option for hair loss is PRP, and it uses your own platelet-rich plasma. The science behind this treatment is regularly used for plastic surgery, orthopedics and dentistry.
In fact, some of the most well-known athletes have used PRP therapy for hair loss, and for many years, platelet-rich plasma has been a popular treatment option for progressive hair loss. During this treatment, a sample of your own blood is drawn and modified, and it’s used to activate the blood that flows around your scalp.
Before the procedure, your scalp will need to be numbed, which eliminates unwanted discomfort. Depending on the situation, other ingredients might be added to the PRP mixture. When used for hair regrowth, this treatment option has several benefits to offer.
A major benefit of PRP is that it uses your own blood. After a centrifuge is used to separate the different components of your blood, the platelet-rich plasma is injected into your scalp. Another major benefit of using PRP for hair regrowth is the success rate, which is very high.
In many cases, the platelets can reverse or stop a patient’s hair from thinning, and results from the treatment appear over the span of multiple months. A gradual process is better for hair regrowth because it gives you time to adjust to your new hair. It also provides natural-looking results.

The opening of a new school building in Barry will be delayed by a year due to negotiations with developers “taking longer than expected”.
The new building for Ysgol Sant Baruc was due to open in September, 2021, but that has now been pushed back to September, 2022.
The school, currently in St Paul’s Avenue, will move to Barry Waterfront where its capacity will double in size: from 210 places to 420.
The three developers who built the Waterfront — Persimmon, Taylor Wimpey and Barratt — will build the school and then give it to Vale of Glamorgan Council.
The deal was part of a Section 106 agreement, where developers must help local councils to fund vital infrastructure, like schools.
However, the council and the developers have been renegotiating the deal over the past year, and have only just come to an agreement on money and timescales.
A spokesperson for the council said: “These negotiations have taken longer than originally anticipated.
“Due to the delay in reaching this agreement with the consortium, construction of the new school building will unfortunately not be completed for September, 2021.
“The council has reviewed demand for Welsh-medium primary school places, and is satisfied there is sufficient capacity to meet demand for the September, 2021, intake.”
Rob Thomas, managing director of the council, approved the new timetable under emergency powers granted to him during the coronavirus lockdown.
The Waterfront is a huge housing development on land previously used by the docks, to the south-west of the town centre.
The Welsh Government aims to have one million Welsh speakers by 2050.
Councillor Ian Johnson, whose ward includes the current school site, said: “Ysgol Sant Baruc’s move is a once in a lifetime opportunity for a brand new 21st century community school that will be at the heart of the Waterfront.
“It will be the chance for more children in Barry to have a bilingual education so they will be fluent in both Welsh and English.
“I look forward to the council delivering on the proposals, which were supported by almost 90 per cent of responses to their consultation last year.”

Beat Lease – Buy your Beats today | Hip Hop, Trap, Rap Instrumentals.
Discover the latest Beats and purchase your license today.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the beats still tagged when I purchase a license? No, licenses come with untagged files or one tag at the beginning of the beat only.
Will I own the beat once I purchase it from your store? No. All purchases made from the Beat Store are non-exclusive. This means that the producer still owns the rights and we will still be able to license it to other artists.
Can I download the files directly after I make the payment? Yes. After you've made the payment you will be redirected to a secure download area where you can instantly download the files. A confirmation email, which includes the download links, will be sent as well.
Can I upgrade my license later? Yes, you can request a license upgrade any time. We will send an invoice for the difference between the standard prices of the licenses. Please Note: If a beat is sold exclusively, you are no longer able to upgrade your license.
Non-Exclusive Beat Licensing Non-Exclusive licenses grant you specific user rights to the beat that you are about to record your lyrics and vocals on. It doesn’t mean that you own it (exclusively). The producer of the beat still retains copyright ownership of the beat. It means that the producer has the right to license the beat to whomever he wants to, until someone purchases an Exclusive license. With a non-exclusive license, you get 0% publishing rights.
Non-Exclusive Copyright Information After you have recorded your vocals to one of our beats, you have created a derivative work. You have copyright over the lyrics that you recorded over the beat but you don’t have copyright to the music used for your song. Upon submitting your song to TuneCore or CDbaby they ask you who the copyright owners of the song are. In that case, you’ll have to tell them that you only have copyright over the lyrics and that you’ve created a ‘New work’ with copyright protected audio that has been non-exclusively licensed to you by the producer.
Exclusive Beat Licensing When you own the Exclusive rights to a beat, you can use the master (your song) without limits on user rights (in comparison to beat licensing). Meaning that you can exploit your song to the fullest. You may exploit the master without any limitations in way or territory of use. So if you think you can get your record on #1 in ten different countries and sell millions of copies, then you are allowed to do so. Beat licensing is no longer an issue because you will own the exclusive rights to the song you created with our beat. That also means that after you have purchased the exclusive rights, we will no longer sell or license the beat on our website.
Exclusive Copyright Information Producers differ in how they define ‘Exclusive.’ In our case, we always ask to execute a 50/50 split-sheet and we retain copyright ownership over the music we created (The way it should). We negotiate a fair split of publishing rights with the artist (or their representatives) and work together with the artists to maximise the song’s potential. As that would benefit us both. Some of the terms in an exclusive license can be discussed or negotiated, as we always advise artists to contact the producer first before purchasing an exclusive license.

Defensive duo sit out for Dons
AFC Wimbledon will still be without defenders Jack Smith and Andy Frampton for the home game against Hartlepool.
Smith misses out again with the knee injury he suffered at MK Dons earlier this month, although he could be back in action next week, while Frampton is still recovering from a broken ankle picked up in pre-season.
Teenager Will Nightingale is fit after a thigh injury while fellow defender Adam Barrett has extended his loan spell from Gillingham until January.
But winger Chris Arthur, who has made just one substitute appearance so far this season, has been loaned out to Conference side Woking.
Hartlepool will have Charlie Wyke in their squad after bringing the Middlesbrough striker back to the club for a month-long loan spell.
The 21-year-old netted twice in 26 appearances for the club when at Victoria Park for the 2012-13 season and has since spent three months with Saturday's opponents last term, bagging another couple of first-team goals in 17 games, including a debut strike at Wycombe.
Stuart Parnaby is a doubt after coming off in Tuesday's loss to Dagenham with a hamstring problem and Lewis Hawkins has sustained an ankle injury in training, but Tommy Miller could be fit to return after missing the midweek match.
Manager Colin Cooper said of Miller's absence: "Tommy's back went into spasm after the game on Saturday. He wasn't able to play on Tuesday night but the physio is pretty confident he'll be okay for Wimbledon so we will wait and see."

The classic pasta and bean soup, pasta e fagioli, is one of the best known soups in Italian cooking. It’s found all over that country, and is prepared in countless ways depending on the region or town. About the only thing the different versions have in common: They use beans and pasta.
This rustic, meatless soup is popular stateside, too. It makes a perfect winter meal. Our featured version comes from Brooke Jackson, a food writer and recipe developer in San Rafael, Calif. We met Brooke when she attended our recent Harvest Retreat. Brooke — introduced to us by our friend Marie Simmons, the award-winning cookbook author — later wrote a nice article about the Retreat.
Brooke told us her pasta e fagioli is “designed to showcase the wonderful flavors of this year’s newly harvested olive oil” — namely, our Limited Reserve extra virgin olive oil. (Click here to get the recipe.)
She also notes the soup is healthful. The cranberry beans are a good source of fiber. And the leafy greens — kale or Swiss chard — provide healthy doses of vitamins K and C. Moreover, a new study found that Italian women who ate plenty of leafy greens and olive oil appear to face a significantly lower risk of heart disease.
“One thing that I especially like about using greens in soups is that eaters can’t tell they are hiding in there,” Brooke says. “So I can fool my kids into getting their daily dose of greens and they don’t even know it.” In addition to kale and Swiss chard, Brooks says she’s used escarole to make the soup.
Brooke says you can use cranberry beans, also called borlotti beans, or you can substitute red beans, pinto beans or cannellini if they aren’t available.
“Adding a piece of the rind from a wedge of parmesan adds a creamy, rich flavor to the soup,” Brooke says. She also recommends each bowl of soup get a drizzle of EVOO just before serving.

The show featured a competition in which Counties compete to show the best Agricultural products, Tombura County received the first prize and was awarded a new motorcycle. Yambio Nangbimo honey processing association came second and received a bicycle and big Panasonic music system while Ibba County was in the third position receiving a bicycle.
While delivering his speech, the WES Governor Hon. Bangasi Joseph Bakosoro appreciated the initiative and the farmers from the various Counties who positively responded following a mass campaign carried out at the beginning of this year.
Bakosoro said that the State government in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture will plan to reward the hard working farmers with vehicles as a motivation next time.
The Director General of the Ministry of Agriculture, Mr. Ahmed Labi said that the show was successful despite the limited period of time.
The show provided an opportunity for farmers to display their agricultural commodities, compete with each other, learn new ideas and acquire new skills from other farmers, exchange information, establish networks, discover markets and identify suppliers.
The Minister of Agriculture Mr. Charles Yore said, “the show will give an opportunity for the Ministry to learn about the conditions facing the farmers because farmers need empowerment and such will be done through the show.
The WES Legislative Assembly Speaker Mr. Bukulu Edward said that the Agricultural show should be done at the right time when farmers can show enough produces in order to compete with other States’ farmers at National level.
Governor Bakosoro said that next year people should compete from the top government officials to the ordinary civilians in order to produce enough food.
Bakosoro advised farmers to use the right agricultural approaches and plan earlier before the rain season.
This is the first time an Agriculture show is conducted in WES bringing together farmers from the 7 Counties in the State.

The first place I head in an op-shop (thrift shop) is the haberdashery section, you never know what you'll find. Not only fabrics but vintage trims, dress shields, shoulder pads, ribbon, etc.
|Left - 1940s cotton pique, etsy. Right - 1940s rayon, opshop.|
I'm always a bit afraid of using my vintage fabrics though - what if I mess up? I'll never find the same fabric again!
|Left - 1930s rayon crepe. Right - 1940s cold rayon, both from Retro Station|
Hopefully this is the year I overcome my fabric fears.
|Left - 1950s mayan influenced cotton, friends stash. Right - 1950s polished cotton roses, op-shop|
My tips for Vintage Fabric
1. Visit your local thrift or op-shop, and ask where their fabric is.
Have the patience to go through it all.
(side tip - if its a small store ask them if they have anything that's 'really old' from the 50s. It might be out the back and I've found some awesome things just by asking).
|Left - 1950s atomic cotton. Right - 1950s polished cotton.|
2. Make sure you look at the fabric carefully.
Look for fade lines on the folds, thread bare patches, light stains. This is especially important with rayons.
Stains might shift with a soak on cotton, but I've had rayon disintegrate from the stain removing chemicals.
Fade lines can be often be dyed over on cotton, but some rayons oxidise when they fade and the lighter areas won't take the colour.
|Left - 1940s cotton challis. Right - 1930s rayon chiffon, both from Retro Station.|
3. Size matters.
If you find fabric that is 90 cm wide (36 inches) you're probably holding something vintage. The standard 115 cm/45 inch we're familiar with now wasn't common at all in Australia during the 30s, 40s and 50s.
If you need to quickly measure a piece try holding it at arm's length, and across your chest (to your opposite arm pit). On most people that's roughly a yard/meter.
|Left - 1940s birdie and blossom chiffon (rayon), op-shop. Right - 1940s puppy cotton, Etsy.|
4. Etsy and eBay are your friends, and try different searches.
I've always got my eyes peeled searching for '1940s fabric' or 'vintage western fabric', but have you tried searching under other fabric types? Searching for 'vintage rayon', 'novelty fabric', 'pineapple fabric' and 'vintage pique' turns up some interesting results.
5. How much are you happy paying?
I'm not comfortable paying much more for vintage than I am for modern fabrics (although we pay through the nose here in Australia). Roughly $10-12 per meter is my limit.
Online listings have a great range - but sometimes hefty postage costs to match.
I know I sound like a broken record, but it doesnt hurt to develop a relationship with your vintage sellers.
Some of my best dealers have now become close friends - and once they know you're after certain things they'll always keep an eye open.
Talking about cost though - sometimes, you just find a fabric that's too fabulous for words.
With a heft price tag to match!
This 1940s puppy fabric cost a lot more than I would normally spend - but puppies!
Ribbons around their neck!
And enough to make a dress!
Sometimes, a girl's just gotta have it...
Have you ever used your vintage fabric? What are your tips for finding it?

Why Is the American Dream Dead in the South?
Interesting findings, at least as presented here. The map is interesting to me, too. Often, maps seem to end up looking like population density maps because the underlying data don’t seem to have been adjusted for that. So it will seem to look, for instance, that people seem to have more blue cars in NYC than they do in Kallispell, Montana, when really, it’s just because there are more cars in NYC because there are more people there.
The map here isn’t so bad. The writer of the article (not the paper) almost comes off like he’s blaming “the blacks” (he isn’t) but he doesn’t go very far beyond that, like looking at overall poverty instead of just race.
What the map shows, or tries to show, is the probability that kids born into the lowest income quintile will make it to the highest quintile.
I suspect that that the “problem” is that the people in certain areas are poor, not that they are black (or white or hispanic or native). And I can’t tell if they tried to adjust for regional disparities in income — someone in the top quintile of income in New Mexico likely has less income than someone in the top quintile of income in New York.
But I’ve only read the abstract of the paper. Maybe if I read it, I’d answer my own questions? 🙂 It’s a “working paper” from the National Bureau of Economic Research (Paul Krugman says all the research in econ is coming out as “working papers” since the traditional journals take a very long time to publish anything).
One thought on “Poverty, Mapping”
http://measureofamerica.org/maps/ is a fascinating supplemental website for this topic.

Despite the hard work of the 170 employees who helped build the company, their jobs are being sent to China. (The factory is set to close December 2012). The move of the factory from Freeport Illinois to China is projected to generate modest profits for Bain partners. Additionally under current corporate taxes laws, they will get a small tax break for relocating to China.
(US workers protesting a factory closing, moved to China)
Companies that send US jobs over seas should not get any tax breaks. Additionally, it is projected that some taxes will be deferred on income generated over seas. The fact that some US companies have no goodwill towards it workers should not be over looked. The executive teams, stock holders, and investors who influence these decisions need to be held accountable. US workers and citizens need to continue to protest such actions, publicize such actions, and vote with your dollars where possible. As people who are being affected by such decisions say, "enough is enough".
In the current economic climate, the US economy needs to produce more jobs and sustain growth. We need to support corporations that value their workers as opposed to those who value cheap profits at the expense of the US as a whole.
