Rated 4 out of 5 by Mdw77 Really nice stay
Great friendly attentive staff really make you feel welcome. Bellhops were swamped during busy times but staff was apologetic for any waits. Upgraded both stays to a suite which was much appreciated. Room was perfect. Good location near nice market and very short walk to downtown. Good jumping off point to quainter Yountville and St. Helena etc. Fitness area being renovated but these things happen.

Rated 4 out of 5 Service has improved
I have always enjoyed the rooms at this hotel and the meeting facilities are great. I have visited this hotel twice a year for the last four years. The valet and bell boy desk were very helpful this visit. The bartender/bar manager(Bobby) made our visit particularly better this time. He made recommendations on great restaurants and provided better more personal service than our group has ever received.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Whiskeyboy11 Great repeat experience
This is the 2nd year we've stayed here with friends. Garth, at the Bank Bar, immediately remembered us and made us feel at home. The valet staff is amazing and immediately brings your car when they see you. The property is wonderful, close to several restaurants, the market, and an easy drive to the wineries. We are looking forward to returning next year and receiving the warm welcome from Garth again!

Rated 3 out of 5 by garyj Beware room 2094
My wife and I used points for a five night stay. We were not pleased with room 2094.Not much larger than a broom closet.
Looking at the evacuation plan on the door, this is possibly the smallest room in the whole hotel. We do not believe a Gold member using points should be stuck in such a room. The room put a damper on the whole stay and minimized what otherwise would have been an enjoyable five days.

I had made reservations for myself and some friends for two nights, our room was ready on time but our friends was not ready until 4:45pm. A cheese platter and wine was ordered by our friends daughter for our arrival but was not delivered until the next day after many conversations with the hotel staff. After a day of wine tasting we returned to find our room cleaned but again our friends room was not.

Rated 5 out of 5 Extremely welcoming staff at the Verasa
besides all the positive goodness, My wife and I were really impressed with how overly welcoming the staff was from the valet/bell boys the reception and the restaurants/bar was. We really liked walking distance of the location, being close to the farmers markets and 5 minutes from downtown where a good choice of the restaurants and shops where. This was the best experience we've had at Westin Verasa.

Rated 3 out of 5 by jrmew00 Fitness Facilities
This hotel has inadequate fitness facilities. Very small and not enough cardio machines. Also, do NOT get a room with pool exposure--this is a family hotel and there are many children at the pool and pool is very noisy. Finally, this hotel does not provide self parking availability and guests are compelled to use the valet service. Parking is covered in the $20 per day per room facilities charge.

We had stayed at this hotel previously and enjoyed it as much this time as the previous stay. Great location is central located to wineries and wonderful restaurants.Also enjoyed the complimentary wine tasting in the evening and the free shuttle to downtown. The staff are so friendly and helpful.
The only downside is the $10 parking and $20 resort fee. Also the internet did not work in our room.

We arrived a day early for our stay, and were welcomed and upgraded to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Every person of staff were very attentive to our every need.
We really felt like a true guest. I think that is the best way to explain, so many other resorts make you feel like your a bother, not here. There is some specific trainiing going on here at this establishment. Thank you all!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Bj75 Great overall
Other than the shower door not staying closed completely and having an extra charge on the bill from the hotel bar (which the staff is looking-in to), I would say this stay was great and each departments' staff was excellent. I would especially like to thank each and everyone of the valet team... They were amazing in every way! Our car was pulled to the drive in 5 minutes or less every time!

Rated 3 out of 5 by harris44 Housekeeping
Housekeeping needs new management (not staff). On one day we left our room at 8:00 am and returned at 5:00 to prepare for the evening. Our room had not been made up yet. The enxt day we had an afternoon wedding to attend so we asked that the room be made up EARLY. We were gone for the morning and returned at 1:00 pm and of course the room was not made up.
This is unacceptable Westin service.

The hotel and staff are wonderful. Just one complaint, the sheets are itchy. The bed is cozy and the very comfortable, the sheets are crisp but not soft. My husband and I both were slightly uncomfortable all night. Had we stayed more than the one night we would have made the housekeeping staff aware of this. Otherwise, wonderful hotel and we will stay again next trip to Napa.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Jimsept2012 Service charge policy
The policy of adding a service charge to every bill, irrespective of whether the customer agrees with the adequacy of the delivered service or not has a negative effect...it means that *some* staff don't make the effort, such as the humourless surly waiter in La Toque (called Tom), while other staff were delightful and one would happliy give them more than the mandatory service charge.

Front desk staff was very kind...upgraded our room since it we were on our way to Tahoe to get married. It was just one of those things where they didn't have to do it...we didn't expect it...but it made it very memorable! The valet guys even offered to give us pointers on what to see and where all the good local spots were. We are now hooked on Starwood!

Staff is very welcoming- Lobby and pool area are very comfortable- be careful when you are offered an upgrade. We had a deluxe room booked with a high floor. Our upgrade was in part of the hotel that appeared to be an annex of the hotel for handicap access on the first floor and little privacy if you wanted the curtains open. It did not make you feel like you were part of the hotel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by kam35rdm Great stay from start to check-out!!!
We selected Napa and this hotel as our first stop of our two week trip to Napa/Sonoma to celebrate our 35th Wedding Anniversary. From our arrival at the front doors, to the time we checked out, the entire staff was wonderful. David one of the valet was super great with providing wonderful suggestions and tips on things to do, restaruants and place to pick up some groceries. As we were there for a week we asked for a room with a refrigator and the very next day we received a room upgrade with a kitchenette. All the staff were super great from the valets that were fast, courteous to housekeeping that provided everything needed during our stay. The hotel was well kept, modern and updated. The rooms were clean, and the furniture and decor were pristine. We enjoyed the wine and hors d'ouerves served by local wineries. Dinner we had one night at the on-site hotel was very good and the wait staff we terrific.

My nephew Derwin and his wife Tanya gave us a gift certificate for a one night stay for our 50th wedding anniversary. When we checked in, the front desk clerk told us our room was upgraded.

Great location to the new revitalized Downtown Napa Waterfront. Within walking distance to shopping and excellent restuarants. We had the 2B/2B corner suite and it was great for 2 couples sharing the unit. If afforded privacy yet had common areas for enjoying a glass of wine and conversation. Also, the deck overlooking the river was a real plus. Very tranquil and wonderful setting.

Hotel is good. The restaurant is good not great as advertised. Also, small portions, expensive and a mandatory 18% gratuity added for all restaurant and bar services. Don't like that choice being made for me. The Oxbow market is a short walk down the street. We will go there for breakfast, lunch or dinner next time. Great choices to eat there and save the forced 18% service charge.

Stay clear of the valet, every time we did we waited well over 20 minutes to retrieve our vehicle even when it wasn't that busy. Then the valet boys are waiting for a tip. I learned to park across the street for free a 10 second walk and had my car much easier than the valet made it.
The location of the hotel in napa is great and the room was nice. Would stay here again.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Robert350 Lovely property, bad dates..
I was looking for a weekend getaway from another long term stay property in Nor Cal. The Westin is a lovely property in the historic part of old Napa. The location is a great starting point for those looking for a more corporate retreat rather than the "Inn" or "B and B" type of lodging in the valley. I used points for my stay and unfortunately, as the property was over-sold was given a room that was entirely way too small for me. I decided to stay at another property as it was just not comfortable. Overall I think this property has VERY large rooms, so do not base your decisions solely on my experience. Generally as a Platinum member I am spoiled and receive a nice upgraded room even when using points. In any case, what should be commended here is the AWESOME staff..to the valets, the front desk, and the management team. Everyone is service oriented and they authentically want to go out of their way for you.

Rated 3 out of 5 by LenL Poor front desk service
Arrived at the hotel at 1 AM. No one greeted us to valet the car so had to self park the car on the street. Upon check-in the front desk did not mention the car valet service , nor the wi fi in the room. Used the gym the next morning and it was awful. Very small with too many guests on top of each other in the gym. Upon check out I asked why I was charged an amenity fee of $20 per room (had two rooms). Front desk said it was for free valet parking, free wi fi in the room and for the gym facility. I informed the front desk that valet service was not available when we checked in, no one told us about the wi fi or the $20 amenity fee. After providing feedback about the small gym the front desk explained it is a temporary facility while the hotel is renovating the main gym. In conclusion I was charged $40 for amenities I did not use or for a gym that was awful for the size of the hotel and the many guests using the gym.

Rated 3 out of 5 by WineLover Needs some Improvements
Beautiful hotel located in a great spot in downtown Napa. A few short comings dampened our complete enjoyment. On our first day we ate the 'Express' Lunch at the Bank Cafe. Service was anything but Express. Later in the week trying to grab and pay for self service coffee at the Bank Cafe also was anything but Express. Trying to find someone to pay was a challenge and the way it was laid out is simply very difficult. Overall food was good at Bank just not Express as advertised and we all found the staff there missing on service. Only other negative comment is the size of the fitness room given the size of the hotel - it is tiny and every morning was packed. Front desk was also a bit slow on check-in. Only one person working the desk and also working the conceirge desk meant a long check-in. Downstairs needs to improve their customer service and if the fitness center was bigger this would be an outstanding hotel.

Rated 2 out of 5 by EastCoast Very disappointing
I have stayed at Westin properties throughout the world and this was one of the most disappointing hotels that I can remember. The hotel and staff failed to get many things right in terms of responsiveness to service requests, room preparation, platinum member recognition, etc. While the hotel was decent, it certainly did not meet expectations. Avoid the hotel if possible.

Rated 4 out of 5 by RobbinH How do you get a nicer room?
This is the second time we have stayed at the hotel, both times on a sold out weekend. Even though we made reservations months in advance, both stays were in tiny rooms. As a gold member, I am often upgraded to a nicer room and this was not possible either time. The hotel is gorgeous and the staff very nice but we were in very small rooms, how do you avoid this next time?

Earlier this week, I highlighted three Providence Bruins forwards who have the best shot at cracking the Bruins’ NHL roster directly out of training camp this fall. Today, I’m taking a look at which P-Bruins defensemen could do the same.
As of now, it’s tough to tell exactly how much space the Bruins will have on their blue line next season. Many people believe that one of their defensemen will be taken in this summer’s expansion draft.
It’s pretty safe to assume that Zdeno Chara, Charlie McAvoy, and Torey Krug are safe. Behind them, Adam McQuaid, Colin Miller, and Kevan Miller are all at risk of being taken by Las Vegas.
Regardless of what happens, there will be at least one spot up for grabs this preseason, and the B’s will have a number of players from Providence fighting for that position.
Matt Grzelcyk will be one of the front-runners to make Boston’s roster out of training camp next season. After four seasons at Boston University, Grzelcyk headed to Providence for his rookie season, where he was one of the Baby Bruins’ best defensemen.
In 70 games with Providence this season, the 23-year-old notched 32 points — a very solid total for a defenseman. Of his 32 points, 26 were assists. That should be no surprise for those who have seen Grzelcyk play — his playmaking abilities are one of his best assets, and will be the key to success for him in the NHL in the coming years.
Unfortunately for Providence, Grzelcyk struggled a bit in the playoffs, tallying just three assists in 17 postseason games.
He also appeared in two games with Boston this season and showed off his puck-moving skills in the limited ice time he had.
At just 5 feet 9 inches, Grzelcyk is small for an NHL defenseman. Like Torey Krug, however, who is the same height, Grzelcyk can make up for his size with his puck skills. If the former Terrier can prove that his talent can outweigh his size, then he’ll have a solid shot at starting the season with Boston in the fall.
Former Yale standout Rob O’Gara is another Providence defenseman who will contend for a spot on the roster next season.
O’Gara began his professional career with Providence last season when Yale’s season was ended. He only managed to appear in five games that season but scored his first professional goal during the stint.
This season, O’Gara appeared in 59 games with Providence, earning 13 points and a plus-11 rating. He also played three games with Boston and boasted a plus-1 rating.
A 2011 draft pick by the Bruins, O’Gara will turn 24 years old before the start of next season. At 6 foot 4 inches, O’Gara has the size to bully forwards in the defensive zone, and while he won’t wow you with his point totals, he will serve as an effective two-way defenseman.
Bonus: Zane McIntyre, Goalie
Of the many questions the Bruins have to answer this offseason, the backup goaltender position will be one of the most important. The B’s have several options to fill the crease behind Tuukka Rask next season, and Providence Bruins goaltender Zane McIntyre is an intriguing option.
McIntyre was unbelievable with Providence this season, posting a league-leading .930 save percentage, accompanied by a 2.03 goals-against average in 31 AHL games.
He struggled a bit in the eight NHL appearances he made this season, posting a pedestrian .858 save percentage and a 3.96 goals-against average. But, for a 24-year-old goaltender who was getting his first taste of NHL hockey, those numbers aren’t outrageously bad.
McIntyre has demonstrated a very strong ability to improve his game – his .930 save percentage was .032 higher than his save percentage from last season. If McIntyre can bump his numbers up next preseason, then he’ll certainly be a contender for the backup role next season.

Who wants to be a millionaire?
Yes, it's reached the Czech Republic, the quiz show that has had viewers the world over glued to their TV screens. "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" has now been launched in its Czech version, by the independent TV station NOVA, and Czechs too can enjoy that minute chance of becoming an instant millionaire. The prizes may not be quite on the scale seen in some countries, but it's clear that despite--of perhaps because of--forty years of communism, Czechs are as keen on speculation, risk-taking and gambling as any of their neighbours. But it's precisely this new gambling culture that's at the centre of a growing row. A financial scandal has erupted involving the multi-billion-crown Czech lottery, run by the private company Sazka, and as David Vaughan reports, some of Sazka's practices are beginning to raise eyebrows even in the corridors of power:
Czech TV, Sunday evening and the news has just ended: the winning numbers in the Sazka lottery are announced. This week we're told that the jackpot is a huge 26 million crowns. The lottery is big business, and last year Sazka's total turnover was a staggering 12 billion Czech crowns. So it's hardly surprising that heads turned when a few days ago Czech Television broadcast a programme suggesting the lottery's management was riddled with corruption and malpractice.
Ever since, the air has been filled with rumour and speculation: was it really true that top Sazka executives were paying themselves up to a million crowns salary a month? was some of the revenue earmarked for advertising really being ploughed into firms closely connected with the management? and why was only fourteen crowns in every hundred going into supporting Czech sportsmen and women, the purpose for which the lottery was set up in the first place?
Sazka's management has not hesitated to defend itself. It says it puts more money into Czech sport than outlined by the law, and last week it put out full-page ads in Czech papers explaining its position. In fact even some of Sazka's fiercest opponents think it's unlikely that any illegal practice will actually be pinned to the company.
Culture Minister Pavel Dostal argues that it is simply a question of ethics, and in this respect, he blames his own colleagues in parliament. In 1998 they passed legislation that in effect took all control of lotteries out of the hands of the state and into the hands of the private sector, giving the managers a degree of freedom unparalleled even in that haven of free markets, the United States.
A number of Czech MPs have now decided to launch their own investigation into the way Sazka is run, but they will face the almost impossible task of putting the genie back in the bottle. The Czech Republic is paying the price for naivety and inexperience in a market that depends on personal greed for its very existence.

First and most important pray to GOD in Jesus Christ name to help your mind stay positive and ask GOD for favor, blessings, health, wealth, and a positive mind. The bible is still the best book to read it never goes out of style and every time I pick it up GOD points me to the verse I need. I suggest getting Joyce Meyer bible or the NIV bible as each important verse is written so we can understand the meaning.
I recently started back to my chiropractor of five years praying for help with the pain from the Semi-truck accident last April. The first thing my chiropractor http://www.gaitlink.com said to me was “How was your relationship with GOD before the semi truck accident?” Tears started running down my face as I worked to say OUTSTANDING – I think it would have been easier to die and go to heaven with Jesus than endure that pain, with GOD I had no doubt I would go home and be healed.” My prayer immediately was for GOD to send the right doctors to heal me and give them the wisdom needed and give me the strength to endure the physical pain and go home to my husband, pets, family and friends. Additionally I prayed GOD would release his angels in Jesus Christ name to protect me and my family two and four legs.
While I was in Harborview Critical Care trauma hospital my orthopedic surgeon who gave me the ability to walk by inserting the screws into my pelvis said “We can tell within twenty-four hours if a patient is a fighter or a whiner, you are a fighter!” We must stay strong and never give up even when life seems to be at the end as nothing is over until GOD says it is over.
Keep “The Secret Power Of Speaking GODS word” http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Power-Speaking-Meyer-Joyce/dp/0446577367 with you at all times. This is a wonderful little pocket-book that is organized on each problem or delight we have in life and it really helps keep our mind positive when we can read scripture from the bible; GOD is taking care of us in each obstacle and test of life. Download the bible onto your I-Pod http://www.listenersbible.com/free-download If your really having a hard time with anxiety, depression try listening to Psalm before going to sleep every night. Read Joyce Meyers “The Battlefield of The Mind” http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=battlefield+of+the+mind&hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=18271462276167127854&ei=RLQkTcfZE4OqsAPO2_WTAQ&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CE8Q8wIwAQ# this is a powerful tool.
If you are a person who has no animals around you try to visit a friends animals or donate time at a shelter for animals, you will be amazed how good you will feel and it costs nothing other than your time. Animals know how to live in the moment they are great teachers! Our brain is the most important organ we have and we must put a negative anti-virus in our brains. Just like our computer has anti-virus we need to mentally add one for our brains. Try to control your thoughts and do not let negativity stay in your mind put all negative thoughts and experiences in the trash just like you do with your computer. It is my opinion our brain is just like a computer and we can learn how to strengthen the muscle in our brain by mentally controlling what we are thinking about each day.
How To Program Your Mind To Be Positive:
1. When you open your eyes in the morning thank GOD in Jesus Christ name for this new day and anything you can think of to be grateful for
2. Write down five things you are grateful for and place them on the fridge or a mirror you see every day
3. Write down your goals for 2011 and a five-year plan and place these goals where you can see them – Every day counts as we do not know when our time is up
4. Donate your time to help another living person, animal or business get connected with others – If you are physically limited use the internet to connect
5. Be flexible if your goals change pray about the change and walk the direction GOD sends you in peace and harmony
6. Expect miracles, goodness, mercy, favor, blessings, increase, love, peace and health from GOD
7. Live in the moment – Let go of the past and do not run too far ahead of GOD as each day is precious and a gift from GOD
8. Forgive people immediately after being offended
9. When you look in the mirror each day love yourself say good things to yourself
10. Never give up, keep pushing forward everything changes this is just a season
11. Treat everyone how you want to be treated
12. Forgive yourself when you make mistakes in life and do not repeat that mistake
13. Enjoy the gifts GOD has placed in your life
14. Take at least twenty minutes a day to pray and marinate with GOD
15. Lighten up life is short and we are not in control GOD is – Smile and laugh more!
16. If you are in chronic pain keep pushing forward to find the medication to give you some relief. Suffering from pain robs each of us from joy, love, and life keep pushing to find a way to not have pain and still have a quality life.
17. Thank GOD for all of the good things in your life and the blessings GOD is sending your way
18. Be humble
19. Walk in love, don’t judge people, be jealous of them as each of us has special gifts designated by GOD for all of his children
20. Live in peace within yourself and say NO to people when you feel it is best for you; time, values, religious belief, money etc. or try this way; let me pray on this and I will get back to you
GOD bless you and your family two and four legs!

Opossum Joey #1
Print of original pen & ink drawing printed on acid free high quality fine art paper. 5" x 5"
One summer evening while I was alone, sitting on the floor watching an episode of Twin Peaks on the projector in my (at the time) attic bedroom in Asheville, NC, I was visited by this small creature. She sat on the pillow next to me, unafraid and seemingly transfixed by the flashing lights. I let her stay with me for a while and eventually she fell asleep in my sock basket.

Mindful Self-Compassion is an empirically-supported, 8-session, training program designed to cultivate the skills of self-compassion. Based on the groundbreaking research and clinical work of Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer, Mindful Self-Compassion teaches core principles and practices that enable participants to respond to difficult moments in their lives with kindness, care and understanding. The program integrates cutting-edge understanding of human growth and thriving based on neuroscience, positive psychology, physiology and human development. At the same time, the Mindful Self-Compassion course teaches simple, concrete and practical skills that participants can use to support and guide themselves in their everyday lives.
Anyone can learn self-compassion, even those who didn’t receive enough affection in childhood or people who feel uncomfortable when they are good to themselves. It’s a courageous attitude that stands up to harm, including the harm that we unwittingly inflict on ourselves through self-criticism, self-isolation, or self-absorption. Self-compassion provides emotional strength and resilience, allowing us to admit our shortcomings, motivate ourselves with kindness, forgive ourselves when needed, relate wholeheartedly to others, and be more authentically ourselves.
Rapidly expanding research clearly demonstrates that self-compassion is strongly associated with increased resilience and emotional wellbeing, less anxiety, depression and stress, maintenance of healthy habits such as diet and exercise, and satisfying personal relationships. And it’s easier than you think.
This online Mindful Self-Compassion course includes many hours of learning and skill development together, plus many additional opportunities for growth and contact!

This application is a U.S. National Phase Application under 35 USC 371 of International Application PCT/JP2004/003380 filed Mar. 12, 2004.
The present invention relates to a radio wave receiver, a radio-controlled timepiece and a tuning capacitance setting method.
At the present day, there is known a so-called radio-controlled timepiece which receives long-wave standard time radio waves with time data, i.e., a time code transmitted in respective countries (e.g., Germany, United Kingdom, Japan and others) and corrects time data of a clocking circuit based on the received radio waves.
Meanwhile, when radio waves are received by using, e.g., a bar antenna, there is used a tuning circuit which receives radio waves by causing an inductance of the antenna, a capacitor and the like to be resonant with radio waves having a desired frequency. In such a tuning circuit, tuning with radio waves having a desired frequency is effected by changing a capacity to be connected to the antenna.
It is general that a conventional radio-controlled timepiece comprises a radio wave receiving circuit including such a tuning circuit. As one of such circuits, there is known a radio wave receiving circuit which performs tuning with long-wave standard time radio waves by using a method to attach a plurality of chip capacitors.
That is, at the time of industrial assembly, an inductance of an antenna is measured, and chip capacitors whose capacitances are not more than a desired capacitance are first attached by soldering. Then, a resonance frequency is measured, an insufficient capacitance is calculated, and a chip capacitor whose capacitance is slightly smaller than the insufficient capacitance is further attached by soldering. Furthermore, operations to measure the resonance frequency and adjust the tuning capacitance are repeatedly carried out according to needs, and adjustment is effected in such a manner that the radio wave receiving circuit performs optimum tuning with respect to the long-wave standard time radio waves.
Moreover, Japanese Patent Application KOKAI Publication No. 6-125280 discloses a radio wave receiving circuit which comprises two capacitors included in a tuning circuit in parallel and can select a resonance frequency by switching a connection of one of the capacitors based on ON/OFF of a switch and changing a tuning capacitance. However, this is used to switch a resonance frequency to be selected, but it is not intended to change a capacitance in order to tune with radio waves having a desired frequency.
The method for attaching the plurality of chip capacitors requires adjustment of a tuning capacitance when assembling a product, but operations to measure a resonance frequency and attach capacitors must be repeatedly carried out in that adjustment. Therefore, the number of working steps, a working time, a cost and others are taken. Additionally, capacitors, a switch element which switches the capacitors and others are required in accordance with the number of frequencies of radio waves to be received. Therefore, when receiving a plurality of radio waves, applying the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application KOKAI Publication No. 6-125280 increases the number of components or a substrate area, and hence a reduction in size of the circuit is difficult.
Further, if tuning adjustment is performed only in a circuit substrate for tuning having an antenna and capacitors mounted thereon and then the adjusted circuit substrate is set in a radio-controlled timepiece and connected with a timepiece circuit substrate, a resonance frequency deviates due to an IC other than the tuning circuit substrate, an input capacitance of the timepiece circuit substrate or the like. Therefore, when trying to perform complete adjustment of the tuning capacitance, tuning adjustment must be again performed in the entire radio-controlled timepiece.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a radio wave receiver which can be automatically set in a tuning state optimum relative to radio waves having a predetermined frequency, a radio-controlled timepiece and a tuning capacitance setting method.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a radio wave receiver for receiving radio waves having a predetermined frequency, the receiver comprises an antenna, an variable capacitor connected to the antenna, a memory, and a controller which determines an optimum capacitance of the variable capacitor with which the radio wave receiver is in a predetermined reception state and writes optimum capacitance data into the memory and, controls the variable capacitor based on the optimum capacitance data.
Additional objects and advantages of the present invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the present invention.
The objects and advantages of the present invention may be realized and obtained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out hereinafter.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate presently preferred embodiments of the present invention and, together with the general description given above and the detailed description of the preferred embodiments given below, serve to explain the principles of the present invention in which:
An embodiment according to the present invention will now be described hereinafter with an illustrated example. Although a description will be given as to an example in which a radio wave receiver according to the present invention is applied to a radio-controlled timepiece in each embodiment, the example to which the present invention can be applied is not restricted thereto as long as it is an apparatus used to receive radio waves.
In Japan, long-wave standard time radio waves of 40 kHz and 60 kHz subjected to amplitude modulation with a time code having such a format as shown in
The CPU 101 reads various kinds of programs stored in the ROM 105 and develops them in the RAM 104 in accordance with a predetermined timing or an operation signal or the like input from the input device 102, and performs instruction or data transfer to each function portion based on the programs.
The CPU 101 executes receiving processing of long-wave standard time radio waves by controlling the reception controller 106 every, e.g., predetermined time, corrects current time data counted in the clocking circuit 108 based on a standard time code input from the time code generator 107, outputs a display signal based on the corrected current time data to the display device 103, and performs various controls such as updating of a displayed time. Moreover, the CPU 101 outputs a signal indicative of one of two operating modes, i.e., a tuning mode and a receiving mode to the radio wave receiver 200.
The input device 102 comprises switches or the like which cause the radio-controlled timepiece 1 to execute various functions. Additionally, when these switches are operated, operation signals of corresponding switches are output to the CPU 101.
The display device 103 comprises a small liquid crystal display or the like, and digitally displays data from the CPU 101, e.g., current time data or the like obtained by the clocking circuit 108.
The RAM 104 is used to store data processed by the CPU 101 and output stored data to the CPU 101 under control of the CPU 101. The ROM 105 mainly stores a system program concerning the radio-controlled timepiece 1 and an application program.
The reception controller 106 comprises the radio wave receiver 200. The radio wave receiver 200 takes out a corresponding frequency signal by cutting an unnecessary frequency component of the long-wave standard time radio waves, converts the frequency signal into a corresponding electrical signal, and outputs it.
The time code generator 107 generates a standard time code including data required for a clock function such as a standard time code, an integration code, a day code and the like based on the signal output from the radio wave receiver 200, and outputs it to the CPU 101.
The clocking circuit 108 counts signals input from the oscillation circuit 109, and obtains the current time data and the like. Then, it outputs the current time data to the CPU 101. The oscillation circuit 109 is a circuit which constantly outputs signals with a fixed frequency.
The antenna ANT can receive the long-wave standard time radio waves, and it is constituted of, e.g., a bar antenna. The receive radio waves are input to the capacitor array 201.
Furthermore, the capacitor array 201 includes connection terminals J1 and J2 so that external capacitors Cex1 and Cex2 attached to the outside of the IC can be connected. The external capacitors Cex1 and Cex2 are respectively connected with transistors Tex1 and Tex2 in series, and further connected to the capacitors C1 to Cn in parallel. The external capacitors Cex1 and Cex2 are capacitors which have relatively large capacitances as compared with, e.g., those of the capacitors C1 to Cn, and they are added according to circumstances.
The capacitors C1 to Cn are combined with each other by the switching operations of the corresponding transistors T1 and Tn, and a capacitance of the entire capacitor array 201 is controlled. In the later-described tuning mode, since the transistors T1 to Tn are sequentially switched so as to increase a capacitance of the entire capacitor array 201, the capacitors C1 to Cn are arranged in a predetermined order, e.g., an ascending order of capacitances.
A capacitance selection signal S1 output from the control circuit 206 is input to a decoder 300. The decoder 300 decodes the capacitance selection signal S1, and outputs switching data used to control ON/OFF of each transistor. Switching data D1 to Dn, Dex1 and Dex2 output from the decoder 300 are respectively input to gates of the transistors T1 to Tn, Tex1 and Tex2.
For example, when the switching data D1 is “1”, the transistor T1 is turned on, and the capacitor C1 is connected to the antenna ANT in parallel. When the switching data D1 is “0”, the transistor T1 is turned off, and the capacitor C1 is electrically disconnected from the antenna ANT. The same operation is carried out with respect to the other transistors.
The decoder 300 is not restricted to the above-described structure as long as it is a circuit (e.g., a multiplexer or a ring counter) which outputs a signal which can control ON/OFF of each transistor in accordance with the capacitance selection signal S1.
A tuning frequency is controlled based on an inductance of the antenna ANT and a capacitance of the capacitor connected to the antenna ANT in parallel, and radio waves received by the antenna ANT are converted into an electrical signal and output as a signal S2.
The signal S2 and a signal S5 are input to the front-end circuit 202. The front-end circuit 202 applies predetermined signal processing to the signal S2, and outputs the processed signal as a signal S3.
When the radio wave receiver 200 is formed as a straight type, the front-end circuit 202 includes an amplification circuit which amplifies the signal S2, a filter or the like. When the radio wave receiver 200 is constituted as a super heterodyne type, the front-end circuit 202 includes, e.g., an oscillation circuit which generates a signal having a local oscillatory frequency, and a frequency conversion circuit which generates an intermediate frequency signal by combining a signal generated by the oscillatory circuit with the signal S2.
The front-end circuit 202 performs adjustment (AGC or the like) of an amplification of the amplification circuit included in the circuit based on the signal S5 which is an AGC feedback voltage in such a manner that a signal level of the signal S3 to be output is changed to an optimum level.
The signal S3 is input to the detection-and-rectifying circuit 203, and this circuit 203 detects a base band signal from the signal S3. The detection-and-rectifying circuit 203 outputs the detected base band signal as a signal S4. The detection-and-rectifying circuit 203 outputs the signal S5 to the front-end circuit 202 and the reception level detection circuit 205 in accordance with a signal level of the signal S3.
The signal S4 is input to the waveform shaping circuit 204, and this circuit 204 performs waveform shaping of the signal S4 so as to obtain a signal optimum for the time code generator 107 and outputs a result as a signal Sd. The signal S5 is input to the reception level detection circuit 205, and this circuit 205 performs processing by, e.g., amplifying the signal S5 and outputs a result as a reception level signal S6.
The reception level signal S6 and a signal S0 from the CPU 101 are input to the control circuit 206. The signal S0 is a signal indicative of one of the tuning mode and the receiving mode. When the signal S0 is indicative of the tuning mode, the control circuit 206 outputs the capacitance selection signal S1 used to control ON/OFF of the transistors T1 to Tn, Tex1 and Tex2 in the capacitor array 201. Combinations of ON/OFF of the transistors T1 to Tn, Tex1 and Tex2 when indicating optimum tuning with the received radio waves are stored in the memory 207 based on the reception level signal S6.
When the signal S0 is indicative of the receiving mode, the control circuit 206 reads a set value is corresponding to a frequency of the received radio waves from the memory 207, and outputs the set value as the capacitance selection signal S1 to the capacitor array 201. A detailed flow of operations in the tuning mode and the receiving mode will be described later with reference to a flowchart.
The control circuit 206 includes a set value memory 2061 and a reception level memory 2062. Each memory is constituted of a temporary memory such as a RAM.
The set value output from the control circuit 206 is stored in the memory 207. The memory 207 is constituted of a nonvolatile memory such as an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) which can read/write data, and stores a set value data table 2071 or the like therein.
Giving a concrete description, in regard to the switching data D1 to Dn, Dex1 and Dex2 output from the decoder 300, assuming that n=6, there can be obtained eight sets of switching data D1 to D6, Dex1 and Dex2, and the eight sets of data are used to control ON/OFF of the eight transistors T1 to T6, Tex1 and Tex2.
For example, in the receiving mode, when the set value of the capacitance selection signal S1 output from the control circuit 206 is “14H”, this value is decoded as “00010100” by the decoder 300. The switching data has values corresponding to respective bits in the decoded value. For example, the switching data D1 to D3, D5, Dex1 and Dex2 are “0”, and the switching data D4 and D6 are “1”. They are input to the gates of the respective transistors T1 to T6, Tex1 and Tex2. Then, since the transistors T4 and T6 are turned on, the capacitors C4 and C6 are connected to the antenna ANT in parallel.
For example, in the receiving mode, when trying tuning to the radio waves having a second frequency, the control circuit 206 reads a set value “30H” corresponding to the second frequency from the set value data table 2071. Then, it outputs the set value as the capacitance selection signal S1 to the decoder 300 of the capacitor array 201.
In this case, the value of the capacitance signal S1 is decoded as “00110000” by the decoder 300. For example, the switching data D1, D2, D5, D6, Dex1 and Dex2 are input as “0” and the switching data D3 and D4 are input as “1” to the gates of the respective transistors. Then, the transistors T3 and T4 are turned on, and the capacitors C3 and C4 are connected to the antenna ANT in parallel.
Each set value is set in the tuning mode, and stored in the set value data table 2071. The set values differ from each other depending on each radio-controlled timepiece based on characteristics of the radio wave receiver 200 or affections of any other circuits.
A description will now be given as to a method for setting a tuning capacitance with respect to a predetermined frequency of the capacitor array 201.
The tuning mode is carried out, e.g., before factory shipment after the radio wave receiver 200 is assembled as an internal circuit of the radio-controlled timepiece instead of an elemental unit formed of only the radio wave receiver 200.
The control circuit 206 outputs a capacitance selection signal S1 instructing to turn off all the transistors T1 to Tn, Tex1 and Tex2 included in the capacitor array 201 (step A1). The control circuit 206 stores a set value of the capacitance selection signal S1 output at step A1 in the set value memory 2061 (step A2).
The control circuit 206 stores a value of the reception level signal S6 in the reception level memory 2062 (step A3), changes the set value of the capacitance selection signal S1 so as to increase the tuning capacitance of the capacitor array 201 by one level, and outputs a result (step A4).
The control circuit 206 compares the value of the reception level signal S6 with the value stored in the reception level memory 2062 (step A5). When the value indicated by the reception level signal S6 is larger than the stored value (step A6; Yes), the operation is repeated from step A2.
When the value indicated by the reception level signal S6 is smaller than the stored value (step A6; No), the control circuit 206 stores in the set value data table 2071 the data stored in the set value memory 2061 (step A7). At this step, the set value is stored in association with the frequency of the received radio waves. Then, the tuning mode is terminated.
A comparison judgment of the reception level at step A6 will now be described in details.
For example, a reception level X for a tuning capacitance C of the capacitor array 201 is stored in the reception level memory 2062. The control circuit 206 outputs the capacitance selection signal S1 so as to increase the tuning capacitance of the capacitor array 201 by one level (corresponding to step A4) and the tuning capacitance is changed to C′. The reception level signal S6 at this moment indicates a reception level X′. Since the reception level X<the reception level X′ is achieved, the set value of the capacitance selection signal S1 is stored in the set value memory 2061 (corresponding to step A2). The reception level X′ is stored in the reception level memory 2062 (corresponding to step A3).
Subsequently, the control circuit 206 again outputs the capacitance selection signal S1 so as to increase the tuning capacitance of the capacitor array 201 by one level (corresponding to step A4) and the tuning capacitance is changed to C″. The reception level signal S6 at this moment is indicative of the reception level X, the reception level X<the reception level X′ is achieved. That is, the set value of the previously output capacitance selection signal S1 derived the reception level higher than that of the set value of the currently output capacitance selection signal S1.
Therefore, it is determined that the combination of ON/OFF of the transistors T1 to Tn, Tex1 and Tex2 indicated by data stored in the set value memory 2061 corresponds to a state that optimum tuning for the received radio waves is performed, and the data stored in the set value memory 2061 is stored in a set value data table 2071 (corresponding to step A7).
The control circuit 206 reads a set value corresponding to a frequency of received radio waves from the set value data table 2071 (step B1), and outputs the read set value as a capacitance selection signal S1 to the capacitor array 201 (step B2). Upon receiving the capacitance selection signal S1, the capacitor array 201 decodes it in the decoder 300, and outputs switching data to a gate of each transistor. As a result, a capacitor to be connected to the antenna ANT in parallel is determined, and a tuning capacitance optimum for the received radio waves can be obtained.
As described above, the tuning capacitance of the capacitor array 201 is increased in increments of one level (capacitance is enlarged) in the tuning mode, and a value of the reception level signal S6 at that moment is compared with a value of the previous reception level signal S6. If a value of the previous reception level signal S6 is larger, a set value of the capacitance selection signal S1 indicative of a combination of the previous capacitor connection of the capacitor array 201 is stored in the memory 207.
As a result, a combination of the capacitor connection used to perform optimum tuning with respect to the received radio waves (tuning capacitance) can be readily known. Further, since set values of the plurality of capacitance selection signals S1 can be stored in the memory 207, a radio wave receiver capable of receiving radio waves having a plurality of frequencies can be realized.
Furthermore, in the receiving mode, when a set value corresponding to a frequency of the radio waves to be received is output to the capacitor array 201 as the capacitance selection signal S1, it is possible to readily set a tuning capacitance indicative of optimum tuning with respect to the received radio waves.
According to the radio wave receiver of the embodiment, since a capacitance which should be connected in order to cause a reception state of radio waves having a predetermined frequency to enter a predetermined receiving state is determined and stored, tuning with the radio waves having the predetermined frequency can be automatically effected.
Although the embodiment to which the present invention is applied has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the foregoing embodiment, and various modifications can be of course added without departing from the scope of the invention.
For example, as shown in
A capacitance selection signal S1 output from the control circuit 206 is input to the D/A converter 801. Moreover, D/A conversion is carried out based on a set value of the capacitance selection signal S1, and a signal having a predetermined voltage level is output. A capacitance of the variable capacitance diode D is varied in accordance with a voltage level of a signal output from the D/A converter 801. As a result, a tuning capacitance of the capacitance array 800 is changed, and it is possible to set a tuning frequency used to perform optimum tuning with respect to received radio waves.
Additionally, although the description has been given as to the case in which the tuning mode and the receiving mode are carried out as different modes, these two modes may be performed simultaneously as one mode. For example, the tuning mode is effected before performing the receiving mode, and a set value indicative of optimum tuning relative to received radio waves is obtained. Thereafter, the receiving mode is performed, thereby realizing the radio wave receiver effecting tuning always optimum with respect to received radio waves.

John Legend is clearly in the holiday spirit, as just announced a new Christmas release. Today (November 8th), the Grammy winner issues a deluxe edition of his first-ever holiday album, A Legendary Christmas, and it boasts a noteworthy reimagining of “Baby It’s Cold Outside”.
This expanded version comes with three new recordings, “This Christmas,” “My Favorite Things”, and “Christmas in New Orleans”. These trio of tracks join the album’s original 18 songs, which feature guest contributions from Stevie Wonder and Esperanza Spalding.
Also new to the deluxe reissue is a modernized rendition of “Baby It’s Cold Outside”, featuring Kelly Clarkson. Its new lyrics, penned by Legend and Insecure comedian Natasha Rothwell, specifically rework the problematic lyrics of the seasonal classic. Late last year, in the wake of the #MeToo movement, the 1940s track was shut out of radio rotation due to its verses, which some have construed as sexist and a possible recounting of date rape.
The updated lyrics are as follows,
I really can’t stay (BABY IT’S COLD OUTSIDE)
I’ve gotta go away (I CAN CALL YOU A RIDE.)
This evening has been (SO GLAD THAT YOU DROPPED IN)
So very nice (TIME SPENT WITH YOU IS PARADISE)
My mother will start to worry (I’LL CALL A CAR AND TELL ‘EM TO HURRY)
Update: Take a listen to the new version of “Baby It’s Cold Outside” below.

text: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is certainly traditionally thought as an operating disorder because it lacks demonstrable pathological abnormalities. IBS. Furthermore, therapies concentrating on mast cells, such as for example mast cell stabilizers (cromoglycate and ketotifen) and antagonists of histamine and serotonin receptors, have already been attempted in IBS sufferers, and have partly exhibited considerable efficiency. This review targets recent advancements in the MMP14 function of mast cells in IBS, with particular focus on bridging experimental data with scientific therapeutics for IBS sufferers. strong course=”kwd-title” Keywords: Innate immunity, Irritable colon symptoms, Mast cells, Mucosal hurdle, Visceral pain Launch Irritable bowel symptoms (IBS) is among the most common useful gastrointestinal disorders world-wide, using the prevalence which range from 1.1% to 29.2% in the overall population diagnosed with the Rome III requirements.1 Multiple factors donate to the pathogenesis of IBS, such as for example increased intestinal permeability, visceral hypersensitivity and dysmotility, intestinal dysbacteriosis, food intolerance, brain-gut axis dysregulation, and emotional stress, which are essential biomarkers of IBS.2 However, the era and association of the biomarkers are incompletely understood. Lately, IBS is significantly seen as a low quality inflammatory disorder,3 and attentions have already been centered on the jobs of mast cells (MCs) in the gut wall structure, accounting for the close relationships of MCs with main intestinal functions, such as for example epithelial secretion, epithelial permeability, blood circulation, neuroimmune connections, visceral feeling, and peristalsis.4 MCs hyperplasia and activation result in abnormal gastrointestinal awareness, motility, and secretion, which donate to the hallmark symptoms of IBSabdominal suffering and/or discomfort, bloating, and abnormal bowel function (diarrhea and/or constipation).5 Moreover, therapies concentrating on mast cells, such as for example mast cell stabilizers (cromoglycate and ketotifen) and antagonists of histamine and serotonin receptors, have already been tried in IBS sufferers in several research, and partially exhibited good efficacy in indicator improvement.6,7 It even more supported the main element role 480449-71-6 of MCs along the way of IBS. Within this review, it talked about the systems of MCs 480449-71-6 in the gut dysfunctions of IBS. Most of all, in addition, it summarized potential medications concentrating on MCs, including advancement and migration, activation and secretion, and mediators, for the scientific therapy of IBS sufferers. Mast Cells in the Individual Gut MCs will be the 480449-71-6 progeny of Compact disc34+ hematopoietic stem cells and also have a stringent requirement of stem cell aspect, the ligand for the c-kit receptor (Compact disc117), for differentiation.8 These cells widely deliver in tissue that form host barriers like the pores and skin, respiratory and intestinal mucosa, peritoneum, and meninges.9,10 In the human gastrointestinal system, there may be the highest density of MCs in the lamina propria mucosae (2C3% of most cells), and slightly much less (about 1% of most cells) in the submucosa,4,8C10 but MCs could be recruited in good sized quantities in response to a range of stimuli.8 Furthermore, sporadical MCs also can be found in the muscle levels and in the serosa.9 Most MCs in the gastrointestinal mucosa are MCT (containing only tryptase), whereas the dominating phenotype in submucosa is MCTC (containing both tryptase and chymase).11 Generally, MCs could be activated by an IgE reliant way via the high-affinity receptor Fc?RI which play an integral role in allergies. Besides this traditional & most effective method, IgG, IgA, Ig-free-light stores (IgFLC) as well as suits (C3a and C5a) may also are likely involved via binding towards the related receptors indicated on MCs.4 Moreover, levels of immune-independent stimulus could result in MCs activation, such as for example neuro-hormonal stimuli including neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, human hormones and growth elements, particularly material P (SP) or calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) released from nociceptive endings and corticotropin releasing element (CRF) induced by psychological tension, which are essential in the rules of gut features.9,11,12 Other biological elements such as bacterias parts (via Toll-like receptors or other design 480449-71-6 recognition receptors), plus some physiochemical elements also may lead to MCs activation.11,13 Upon activation, MCs.

text: The principal class of progenitor cells in the developing rodent forebrain are the radial glia. During embryogenesis, these cells predominantly generate neurons through the production of intermediate neuronal progenitors (IPCs). Recent reports have begun to elucidate the factors that drive the progression of radial glia into IPCs, highlighting that proteins such as Inscuteable, a regulator of spindle orientation, are central to this process. However, despite these advances, our understanding of the transcriptional regulation of IPC production remains limited. Here, we examined IPC production using mice lacking the transcription factor nuclear factor one x (Nfix). Previous work has demonstrated that mice lacking Nfix display defects in astrocytogenesis. Here, we demonstrate that, within the dorsal telencephalon of Nfix-/- mice, the radial glial population was expanded, and that there was delayed generation of IPCs. Moreover, the expansion of the radial glial pool and delayed generation of IPCs in Nfix-/- mice prolonged the neurogenic window and led to an increased number of neurons in the CA regions of the postnatal hippocampus as well as within the neocortex. Furthermore, double Nfix-/-Nfib-/- conditional knockout mice demonstrated a more severe phenotype, supporting a cell autonomous role for NFIs in promoting IPC production. Mechanistically, bioinformatic analyses, coupled with the investigation of spindle orientation during radial glial cell division, implicate NFIX-mediated inscuteable expression as a critical factor in the generation of IPCs during cortical development. Our results indicate that the transcriptional regulation of inscuteable by NFIX plays a central role in orchestrating the transition of radial glia into IPCs during the development of the mammalian brain.

A perfect storm of rising inflation, the war in Ukraine and soaring house prices and rent, have turned London in to a pressure cooker of expense, making it the fourth most costly place to live in the world.
London move up one place according to new research about cost of living for expatriates around the world, by mobility group ECA.
Last month, inflation rose to nine per cent and looks set to hit double digits, while interest rates were upped to one per cent.
The study uses metrics in a ‘cost of living basket, such as a cup of coffee, tomatoes, cooking oil, rent and petrol, highlighting how major population centres have been impacted by drivers of the cost of living, such as war, shortages and fuel price-rises.
Key indicators of the spike in expenses include the price of cooking oil, up 25 per cent globally but only four per cent in Britain.
The war in Ukraine has led to a shortage of cooking oil in the UK, leading to some fish and chips outlets to struggle, even asking Norwegian neighbours for more fish, while industry leaders said they felt “abandoned” by the UK government.
“The rise of cooking oil prices has not been very significant in the UK so far, but the impact is likely to be felt later in the year” said Steven Kilfedder, production manager at ECA International. “We’ve already seen some retailers impose restrictions on the number of bottles of oil per customer to manage limited supplies.”
Rent and petrol
According to the data, London rents are up by 20 per cent, while New York, which is ranked second on the overall list, had a 12 per cent spike.
London motorists are paying 23 per cent more for their petrol than last year, with it surpassing an average of £100 a litre today, with diesel passing that grim milestone earlier in the week.
The most expensive place to fill up your tank is Hong Kong, where a it will set gas-guzzlers back a cool £2.26 per litre, up £1.87 from last year.
War in Ukraine
The war in Ukraine has had a devastating effect on Russia’s economy – and many European countries which have had to find alternative fuel sources.
Many counties are also struggling with soaring prices for food, and in particular grain and wheat, with Russia preventing its export in a bid to put continued economic pressure on Kyiv.
The result has been a 37 per cent rise in fuel globally year-on-year, in addition to cooking oil prices increasing by an average of 25 per cent, owing to shortages.
Russian cities have however not suffered as much as it was perhaps, despite prices soaring 17 per cent in the sanctions-hit capital Moscow. The Kremlin’s seat fell just one place to 62nd most expensive, owing to a weak rouble.
Kilfedder commented that “as sanctions on Russia start to hit, imports have become scarce and costs have risen significantly and are likely to rise further. While the currency fell in the survey period, capital controls to stop money fleeing the country, have stopped the slide of the rouble.
“The full, long-term impact of the war and foreign businesses pulling out of Russia on the cost of living in the country will likely not become apparent for some time.”
Most expensive and cheapest outside of London and UK
While London is the UK’s major economic hub, UK cities rose up the rankings by an average of six.
Edinburgh is now 83rd, Manchester 84th, Birmingham entered the top 100 in 99th, while the Welsh and Northern Irish capitals Cardiff and Belfast were 101st and 106th
Outside of the UK, Hong Kong, New York and Geneva are the three cities which are ahead of London in the list, with the former maintaining the top spot, and the latter rising from fourth in 2021.
Tokyo on the other hand dropped to five from second place last year, but did have the highest inflation rate in three decades, due to the Yen remaining weaker than other currencies.
Israel’s coastal hub Tel Aviv climbed to sixth place, but its strong currency and high-tech economy helped weather the impact of the pandemic.
The city’s shift to more remote working made it a hub for international companies and a target for foreign investors, including with a post-Brexit Britain, and the Gulf, following the signing of a number of agreements, including with the UAE.
Istanbul however was one of the cheapest major cities in the world to live in, sitting at 203rd on the list, dropping 42 places.
