My entry to Bionicle Display's Bionicle Farewell Contest.
About this creation
After revisiting my OWNua MOC, I worked on it for a few more hours, and came up with this thing!
I tried to incorporate weapons from all three Onua sets - the Ghost Blaster, the Chainsaws, and a larger version of his claws which is just the right shape to hold a ball.
I kept the original Mata/Nuva mechanism, but reinforced it with a ball joint in his torso to compensate for the weight of his arm. The ghostblaster arm isn't connected to the mechanism.
With it, Ownua can lift objects, and can also dig like the old set does. I'm sure the wrist mounted chainsaws would help with that...
Just look at those thighs (?!). They are a new method, for me, using a series of ball sockets and old Robo-Riders pieces as armour. The pistons and agori arms supporting his legs clip directly into them.
A cutaway shot of the mechanical innards of the MOC.
For his colour scheme, I didn't stay true that much to the originals. I didn't include Mata-Red pieces like on the mistika (but there are mistika pieces), and I didn't add very much silver either. I think the gunmetal shoulders look better, even though Gunmetal was never on any Onua sets. For some reason that colour just looks more... onuaish. Besides, you could say I just combined black and silver, both of which he had.
The onua claw on his back flips down to cover the mechanism cog, and the Mantax claws hold it up when you want to twiddle it... hmm... inuendo?
But that's not the main thing. What I'm really proud about on this MOC is his back armour, wierdly enough. It's made from those gear-rack pieces off the Nui-Jaga. I have tried to use a lot of old 2001 rahi parts in this MOC...
...That's because, story-wise, this iss Onua, in his adaptive armour, adapted for fighting large amounts of fierce, vicious rahi in the Metru-Nui archives, as well as digging through collapsed tunnels.
And of course, his new mask is from Santa :P
Soo... yeah. That's my entry. This time, all of its pieces are Bionicle. :D
Good luck in the contest, everyone else! Except for Harvey Cu and Yuri... they don't need luck. :)
awesome entry! onua was alwas my favorite of the toa, and was my first set. the gun meatl looks great on him and gives him a darker appearance, which in my case would have been ruined with a lot of silver. i am also very glad you did not incorporate any mata red into the revamp, i hated how that was on the mistaka version. also, glad you used the nuva mask instead of the mistaka mask, that makes it look more like onua than the mistaka ever would have. great job on this, and cool gold onua mata mask, i have about three of them but its still cool to see others with cool recolored masks.

DONTNOD Entertainment has released a launch trailer for the first episode of their episodic graphic adventure series entitled ‘Life is Strange’.
The launch trailer episode gives players a taste of the drama-focused storyline featured in ‘Life is Strange.’ With teenaged growing pains and time manipulating powers abound in the midst of some dramatic cinematic gameplay, gamers familiar with titles from Telltale Games might want to look into this one.
The first episode of ‘Life is Strange’, entitled Chrysalis, puts players in the shoes of senior photography student Maxine Caulfield, who has returned to her hometown of Arcadia Bay, Oregon after five years of absence. As she reunites with her old best friend Chloe Price, Maxine soon finds that she has the ability to rewind time after a struggle that nearly ends Chloe’s life. What follows throws both Maxine and Chloe into a much darker side of Arcadia Bay, as they begin to unravel the city’s hidden secrets and the truth behind the disappearance of a girl named Rachel Amber, an old friend of Chloe’s.
Much like games like ‘The Walking Dead’ and ‘Heavy Rain,’ the main gameplay in ‘Life is Strange’ put heavy emphasis on dialogue choices and interactive puzzles. But one of the major focuses is Maxine’s time manipulation abilities. Using her abilities, players can have Maxine rewind time to go back and redo any previous actions or dialogue choices done past a checkpoint. However, whatever choices made will alter and affect the story’s outcome.
Announced only this past August, ‘Life is Strange’ is developed by DONTNOD Entertainment, the same studio behind 2013’s ‘Remember Me’. The game has been in development since April 2013. Including its first episode, the series will feature a total of five episodes.
The first episode of ‘Life is Strange’ is currently available now for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Windows PC.

Video blade laryngoscope
A laryngoscope including a control circuit and a camera having a housing enclosing the camera that is detachably connectable to a handle, where the camera functions and is compatible with a wide variety of displays. The laryngoscope may optionally be used in either the video mode where the user views a display presenting image data of the area ahead of the blade, or the user may use the laryngoscope in the direct visualization where the user uses the laryngoscope in a traditional manner directly viewing the area ahead of the blade during the intubation procedure. When used in the video mode, an LED is positioned adjacent to a window enclosing the digital image sensor to defog the window.
Latest Karl Storz Endovision, Inc. Patents:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a laryngoscope, and more particularly to a laryngoscope that may be used with many differing video monitors and that also may be used as either a video laryngoscope or as a direct visualization laryngoscope having a blade with a smooth upper surface so as not to interfere with direct visualization of a patient's trachea.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A number of medical procedures require ventilation be provided to the patient, which may be provided through an endotracheal tube. This tube may be inserted into the trachea. It should be noted that when the tube is inserted, the patient is asleep hyperoxygenated and then paralyzed for the procedure, and therefore not breathing. As the ventilator is not yet in operation, the physician must work quickly to insert the endotracheal tube.
With the advent of endoscopic equipment and small cameras, instrumentation can enable viewing of the cords and larynx on a video screen facilitating the intubation of the patient in a relatively quick and safe manner. In some instances it has been determined that direct visualization of the cords and larynx is preferred over the video method. However, video laryngoscopes due to their specialized construction, traditionally do not allowed for intubation by direct visualization. Rather, a physician must discard the video laryngoscope and obtain a traditional non-video laryngoscope to perform this procedure. This disadvantageously leads to delay in intubation of the patient due at least in part to the fact that the physician has to change instruments. It is highly desirable to reduce any cause for delay in the intubation process.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,655,377 (“the '377 patent”) and 6,543,447 (“the '447 patent”) disclose video laryngoscopes having a lifter portion that is long enough to extend into the laryngopharynx and operably engage the epiglottis of the patient. One function of the lifter portion is to hold the intubation tube with the video device is positioned on a lower side of the blade opposite to the lifter portion. While this configuration functions as a video laryngoscope, the lifter portion extends upward from the upper surface of the blade such that any direct visualization by a physician is virtually impossible. As such, a physician would have to discard and retrieve a separate laryngoscope to perform this procedure.
Another problem that traditional video laryngoscopes face is the limited interface ability they have with monitors. For example, a video laryngoscope typically is designed and can only be used with a single type of monitor, e.g. either an O.R. monitor or a P.C. This is disadvantageous as the physician may desire to switch monitors, for example, the laryngoscope may be attached to an O.R. monitor but the physician wants to connect the laryngoscope to a relatively small portable computer monitor as the patient is transported. The laryngoscope would then have to be replaced with a device capable of functioning with a P.C. monitor.
Yet another problem associated with video laryngoscopes is the fact that, many imaging chips are positioned in a cavity or enclosure at a distal end of the laryngoscope blade and are enclosed by a transparent window. However, the window often becomes fogged during the procedure thereby limiting the ability of the physician to see clearly.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore desired to provide a video laryngoscope that may be used either as a video laryngoscope or as a direct visualization laryngoscope for intubation of a patient.
It is also desired to provide a video laryngoscope that is capable of functioning with many differing monitors.
It is further desired to provide a video laryngoscope that is compatible with many differing signal formats.
It is still further desired to provide a video laryngoscope that provides for de-fogging to maintain clear visualization for the physician.
These and other objectives are achieved by providing a laryngoscope that utilizes a blade having a smooth upper surface so as not to interfere with the physician's direct visualization of the areas in and around the laryngopharynx during intubation. The laryngoscope is provided with a digital imaging chip and an illumination device, e.g. a Light Emitting Diode (LED) for illumination of an area to be viewed. It is contemplated that the digital imaging chip may comprise, for example, either a CCD, a C-Mos chip, or the like capable of, for instance, generating image data from processing reflected light picked up from an area to be viewed and/or from processing digital images from a camera in order to further improve the quality of the digital images.
Further, it is contemplated that the digital imaging chip may be provided as a “hard-wired” or as a “wireless” device for transmitting image data picked up from the area to be viewed.
In one advantageous embodiment, a digital imaging chip and an LED are positioned in an enclosure that may be detachably connectable to, for example, the laryngoscope blade. The enclosure is provided with an elongated case and be provided with a coupling mechanism for coupling the enclosure to the handle and/or blade. In one embodiment, the imaging chip and the LED are provided at a distal end of the enclosure, while the coupling mechanism is provided at the opposite proximal end of the enclosure such that electrical connections may be provided for the imaging chip and the LED. In this manner, electrical power may be transmitted to the LED to illuminate the area ahead of the blade, while the digital imaging chip may generate and transmit image data back to imaging circuitry positioned in the handle. It is further provided that the LED may be provided as a relatively high-powered LED and is used to heat a window at the distal end of the enclosure such that the window is maintained free of fogging. The LED may be run, for example, at half power.
In addition, the enclosure may be positioned in a channel provided in the blade to securely hold the enclosure.
In another advantageous embodiment, a universal control circuit, such as a camera, may be positioned in the handle of the laryngoscope. The universal camera may be removable and may include a connector to couple to the handle, or may include a connector that couples directly to the enclosure. The universal camera may include many differing configurations including, for example but not limited to, a USB version 2.0 for connection to a Windows XP device over a USB 2.0 cable, a composite video version for connection to a NTSC over a composite video cable, a UWB wireless video version (USB) using a USB 2.0 signal, and/or a UWB wireless video version using an NSTC signal to name a few.
In this manner, any sensitive electronics may be removed from the handle, for example, during the sterilization process so that they are not exposed to the relatively high temperatures encountered during the process.
The blade of the laryngoscope is advantageously provided with a smooth upper surface such that the physician may use the laryngoscope either in the “video mode” or in may intubate a patient by direct visualization as desired. It is further contemplated that a plurality of blades may be detachably connectable to the handle, while the enclosure is detachably connectable to the blade and/or handle.
While it is preferred to locate the digital imaging device and the LED in the enclosure that is attachable to the blade, it is contemplated that one or both of the digital imaging device and/or the LED may be positioned in the removable universal camera, which may, for example, be a digital camera having a dedicated digital imaging chip.
It is still further contemplated that the laryngoscope may be provided with a direct wired connection to, for example, a video monitor, or may be provided with a wireless connection to the display equipment, which may comprise use of Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology.
Accordingly, in one advantageous embodiment a laryngoscope system is provided comprising a handle having a cavity located therein, the cavity having a connector, a blade coupled to the handle and a camera detachably connectable to the connector. The laryngoscope system also comprises a sleeve coupled to the camera, an illuminating device for providing illuminating light to an area in front of the distal end of the blade and a digital imaging device for generating image data of the area in front of the distal end of the blade. In addition, the laryngoscope system includes a display coupled to the camera, the display receiving and displaying the image data.
In another advantageous embodiment a method for intubating a patient with a laryngoscope is provided comprising the steps of coupling a camera to a connector located in a cavity in a handle, coupling a blade to the handle and coupling a sleeve to the camera. The method includes the steps of transmitting illuminating light to an area in front of the distal end of the blade, generating image data of the area in front of the distal end of the blade and transmitting the image data to the camera. The method further includes the steps of coupling a display to the control circuit camera, transmitting the image data to the display and displaying the image data on a display.
Other objects of the invention and its particular features and advantages will become more apparent from consideration of the following drawings and accompanying detailed description.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals designate corresponding structure throughout the views.
One advantageous embodiment of the present invention is variously illustrated in
Laryngoscope 200 generally comprises a camera 202, which is insertable into or detachably connectable to a handle 204 of the laryngoscope 200. In addition, a blade 206 is coupled to handle 204 and a sleeve 214 may be coupled to camera 202 for transmitting image data to the camera, which is in turn, transmitted to a display 250.
It is contemplated that cable 252 may provide electrical power to camera 202 and may also transmit image data to display 250. However, in a wireless embodiment, a battery may be located in handle 204.
In a battery-powered version, the battery may comprise any battery type as is commonly used in industry and is contemplated that it may have a twelve-hour battery life. Further, the battery may in one advantageous embodiment be rechargeable.
Imaging device 260 may pick up reflected light from an area to be viewed and translates the reflected light into image data that is transmitted for display on display 250. This transmission may advantageously comprise a hard-wired connection or may be wireless. For hard-wired connections, the cable may comprise an electrical connection providing power to camera 202 and image data to display 250. It is further contemplated that data signals, control signals and power may all be transmitted over a signal channel thereby minimizing the size of the interconnecting cables.
For wireless transmission, any acceptable transmission means may be used including but not limited to, for example, radio-frequency transmission or the like. In one embodiment, transmission circuitry is positioned in handle 204 for transmission of the image data to display 250.
The coupling between laryngoscope 200 and display 250 is illustrated in
In an advantageous embodiment, wireless transmission may comprise an UWB transmission. As UWB systems transmit signals across a much wider frequency than conventional systems, a relatively large amount of data may be transmitted. This is advantageous for video medical systems, where relatively high resolution is beneficial and signal lag is undesirable. A number of UWB technologies may effectively be used including, for example, Multiband Orthogonal Frequency Division Modulation (OFDM) or Direct Sequence Ultra-Wideband (DS-UWB).
It is contemplated that imaging device 260 may comprise, in one advantageous embodiment, a CMOS chip (e.g. OmniVision's OV7660 VGA CMOS electronic camera sensor). The CMOS chip may be made relatively small in size, utilizes very little power and is inexpensive to manufacture and may be connected to any necessary drive electronics using a flex circuit. In addition, the signal format may be selected to utilize nonsinusoidal signals, which will not interfere with the sinewave spectrum so as to minimize any interference in existing operating room equipment. This advantage may be is achieved, at least in part because the transmitted power may be spread over a relatively large bandwidth such that the amount of power at any one frequency band at any time is relatively small.
In one advantageous embodiment, blade 206 is detachably connectable to handle 204. Advantageously, blade 206 is provided slightly curved upward as a traditional Macintosh style blade, but could be provided relatively straight as per the traditional Foregger-Magill blade. As can be seen in
As seen in
As seen in
A coupler 218 is provided at the insertion end of camera 202, which is designed to engage with a complementary connector (not shown) positioned inside cavity 216 of handle 204. Depending upon the application, the coupler may couple, electrical cables/channels, optical cables/channels and/or combinations thereof. In addition, cable 220 may be provided to channel electrical signals, optical signals/energy and/or combinations thereof between camera 202 and the video system (Display).

With the arrival of James Streckfuss’ EYES ALL OVER THE SKIES: Aerial Reconnaissance in the First World War, we thought we’d take a few minutes to get to know the author.
What fascinates you about revisiting the past and bringing it to life in a book?
Understanding the past, of course, is fundamental to an understanding of the present. But that’s a stock answer for someone with a history degree. When it comes to WWI aviation, the real answer is it’s just great fun! The bravery of men who went into battle in open-cockpit, wood-and-wire airplanes still blows me away. The RFC’s F.E.2b carried an observer who rode in an open cockpit without a safety belt and frequently had to stand on the rim to man his gun and defend the aircraft. Zeppelins had crew members assigned to “patch duty,” i.e. they had to climb out on top of the airship in flight to repair holes in the envelope. German giant bombers carried mechanics whose duties included climbing out on the wing to repair a faulty engine in flight. It’s hard to imagine jobs that required more guts.
When and how did you become interested in Military history?
My parents gave me the old Milton Bradley board game, Dogfight, for Christmas when I was 15. The game included a little booklet about WWI flying aces. I was immediately hooked.
How much research did you do for the book? Can you give us some tips on this?
I’ve been reading about WWI aviation for close to 50 years, but began seriously researching primary sources towards writing the dissertation that became this book 16 years ago. I collected the Gorrell Report (the primary source material collected by Col. Edgar Gorrell immediately after the war) on some 58 rolls of microfilm, staying after work at the university most days to read sections of it on the library’s microfilm viewers. In 2006, I spent three weeks in London reading and photographing records in the National Archives at Kew, the RAF Museum and Imperial War Museum, coming home with nearly 21,000 digital photographs of primary source material. Later that same year, I spent a few days in Paris, which included some time looking at the French war records at Chateau Vincennes. Copies of German records were obtained with the help of several friends and colleagues.
Why did you decide to write this book? What prompted you to put this story down on paper?
WWI aviation historiography published over the near century since the war ended has focused overwhelmingly on the exploits of fighter pilots, particularly the major aces. Very little has been written about the reconnaissance crews who performed the work that really mattered in terms of aviation’s worth to the greater war. That story needed to be told.
How long did it take you to write it?
Serious writing of the dissertation began in the summer of 2006 and continued until December 2011. Revising that manuscript into the final book took about another year-and-a-half. Of course, research began several years before the actual writing.
What do you like most about your book? Why should we read it?
Eyes All Over the Sky tells the story of why airplanes, airships and balloons really mattered to the war. A friend and colleague once told me he knew many WWI aviation historians who knew very little about the overall history of the war. They’d spent too much time reading about the Red Baron and the other great fighter pilots and had never bothered to find out what connected the air war to what was happening on the ground and at sea. This book documents those connections.
Where and when do you usually write?
All times and all places. I have a basement library and sometimes write there, sometimes it’s on the couch in the living room. It all depends. My dissertation advisor quoted a prominent professional to me once who said when asked how he wrote so much he replied, “Got a minute, write a line.” I’ve tried since—though not always that successfully—to follow that philosophy.
Who are your favorite authors, fiction and non-fiction, and why?
Non-fiction writers—historians mainly—are my favorites. I like a lot of people. I spend so much time reading history, I don’t have a lot of time for fiction, but I have to confess to loving a good spy novel. So, John Le Carré and Ian Fleming.
One subject that published authors often claim to be under-discussed is rejection. Could you talk a bit about any of your experiences with rejection and about the persistence and resilience required of authors?
I started sending a brief proposal and a sample chapter to publishers a couple years ago and received rejections from three or four other firms before a friend suggested I try Casemate.
Do you have any advice for budding military history authors wanting to get published?
Hang in there, it gets better.

We’re hoping Scotland misses the forecast showers
Musselburgh is a lot further away from Lambourn than Bath – to be precise it’s six and a half hours in a horsebox and some 385 miles – but weather-permitting Seamus is planning to send last week’s impressive Bath winner High Wells up to Scotland on Friday for the mile and a half handicap, in which he would carry a 6lb penalty.
Seamus said: “It all depends on the ground, but I’d like to run High Wells up there if conditions remain on the fast side.
“He ran a cracker when tried in a handicap for the first time at Bath on July 5, finishing second to one of Mark Johnston’s, and then we ran him too quick when he disappointed at Salisbury 12 days later.
“We then went back to Bath, only for the ground to change and he just could not handle the soft, but the weather Gods were on our side back at Bath last week and he bolted up. Let’s hope they miss the forecast showers through the week.”
Durack has already schooled High Wells – “he jumps very well and the plan is to go hurdling sooner rather than later with his ground preference” – and he is hoping that he might do as well at that game as Plato’s Kode has recently.
He added:”Plato’s Kode is 2-2 since we went hurdling, and, though he looked to make hard work of it at Worcester last time, the runner-up had a soft lead in front and then got first jump on us up the straight.
“Consequently, our fellow has done well to reel him in, and we might now go back to Market Rasen at the end of the month.”
Meldrum Lad is entered over hurdles at Southwell tomorrow, but Seamus is likely to wait for Uttoxeter on September 24 when he can go back chasing.
He said: “He won three off the spin over fences during April and then broke a blood vessel when disappointing at Kempton on May 1.
“However, he has thrived for a midsummer break, and, hopefully, we can get rolling again at Uttoxeter. He has done us proud this year.”
Back on the Flat The Great Dandini, who ran a blinder at Salisbury last time, only his second time on the racecourse, will try and make it third time lucky at Catterick next Tuesday, but Tyrolean, who is also looking a winner waiting to happen, will opt out of his three engagements this week and wait for a bit of soft ground, with Carlisle tomorrow week a possible target.

On Thursday, starting at 19:45, the Austria-Bosnia match will be held in the 5th round of the UEFA League, the 2018-2019 edition.
In the tour, Bosnia defeated Zenica 1-0, through the goal scored by Dzeko, on the final of the match.
Austria gained 3 points in the League thanks to a 1-0 victory over Northern Ireland, pointing decisively Arnautovic. These three points ranked second, six in length away from the leader of Bosnia, who scored the highest score in 3 confrontations. The Austrians have lost one home game in the last 12 matches, an international friendly against Brazil, score 0-3.
Bosnia has “clocked” in Group B, reporting two wins with Northern Ireland, 2-0 on home and 2-1 away, as well as a 1-0 home win against Austria. The Bosnians have not been defeated by five games, when Mexico wins an international friendly score of 1-0.
This group B is particularly pragmatic, with few goals scored. Austria is forced to win for the first position, while Bosnia can also be pleased with a draw.
PREDICTION: Austria to win @ 2.00

Villarreal CF Soccer Academy: e-Player Development Program
Our e-PDP is designed for players who are seeking to complement their training sessions with a different approach that focuses on their ability to understand the game and improve as a player, not only physically but also tactically.
After analyzing the player, the coach will guide them in focusing on some key goals that can be improved. During the online video meetings, together the coach and player will analyze the player's behavior during games and training sessions that have been recorded, and determine how the player can progress. The coach will also use videos and animations to help the player develop the skills that he or she needs to improve.
The main benefits of this program are: -
To enhance the player’s ability to understand the game and see beyond what they are currently aware of -
To assist the player's in modifying certain behaviors so they can improve -
To allow the player to develop their decision-making process during games -
To be customized and focused on the player’s needs -
To develop players that have the strength to act individually while also considering the needs of their team
This program is offered in packs of four individual online video meetings with an assigned Villarreal CF coach. Usually the coach and player will meet once a week for a one-hour analysis session. The player can also use this time to ask any questions he or she might have regarding their training or development as a player. At the end of the session, the coach will assign some tasks for the player to do before the next session.
The player and coach will find a time that is suitable for both of them in advance. This time does not have to be the same every week, but it has to be planned in advance. If you are interested in this program please contact us at email@example.com and cc firstname.lastname@example.org and we will provide you with further information.


The Planning Board held a hearing for community members to share their thoughts about Bulfinch’s updated plan for laboratory, office, and retail space at 557 Highland Avenue in Needham.,
It is just the beginning for a proposal to redevelop the old Muzi Ford site. The Needham Planning Board opened a public hearing to garner community feedback on the plans being proposed for the Highland Avenue property. But while the official process was just launched, the Bulfinch Company’s campaign for the project is already full swing. They have held a number of meetings with their neighbors already, and have altered their plan in reaction to their feedback. But is this enough to gain their support? Yuxiao Yuan reports on the opening of the hearing, and tells us where the process is going to go next.

ERNACT has facilitated a second brainstorming session on the creation of Digital Innovation Hubs in Co. Donegal (Ireland). It is the second of a series of workshops that will tackle one of the main goals of Donegal Digital Action Plan, which is how to build strong Donegal digital communities and made use of the knowledge acquired within the ERUDITE project aimed to increase understanding of the design, operation and impacts of services.
Last month Donegal County Council, Údarás na Gaeltachta and Inishowen Development Partnership attended the meeting to discuss on their needs, challenges and expectations that the Digital Innovation Hubs can provide to give response to them, and to start identifying the expected impact and indicators. This session, however, they have moved one step further: they have finished identifying the expected impact and indicators from the digital services envisaged, and also, proposed methods to collect and analyse them. In addition, they will do a second iteration of the brainstorming and try to identify potential new services, their impact and indicators.
These sessions are guided by the SEROI+ methodology, developed within ERUDITE project, a European project that is assisting regions in the process of selecting and developing effective digital services.

This book is full of twists and tangles of different stories that in the end lead down a road to a single story of simpleness, it is a delight to read.
A story about a Jinni trapped in an oil lamp and a story about a Golem without a master. Also a story about many humans that come in contact with these two fantastical creatures.
The journey for eternal life, the journey for love, the journey to find one's God, the journey for a companion, the journey for redemption...all these journeys are focused on in this book.

This series is enormous in its scope...so many characters, scheming plots, political intriques and pages to read. I definitely give a nod to George Martin and his intellect and ability to pull this series together, a task most could not complete.
All this said, I found the book tiring and kept wishing it was a few hundred pages shorter. I feel that the book could benefit from less rape and less focus on sex, seems like every chapter brings up buggery, rape, incest...seriously please provide more character development. The book has enough entertainment, but it contains little wisdom or insight into what motivates the people in the story.
I need a break from the series, so the other three books will have to wait, I have better offerings to read. ...more

“Fire” by Kristin Cashore is a companion novel to “The Graceling”; they are loosely connected, with “Fire” occurring before “The Graceling”.
Fire has r“Fire” by Kristin Cashore is a companion novel to “The Graceling”; they are loosely connected, with “Fire” occurring before “The Graceling”.
Fire has red hair with streaks of gold and pink in it. She is a monster who can control and read people’s minds; she also has the ability to talk to people’s minds. Strikingly beautiful, she is almost impossible to resist and as a result she must live a life of solitude; people who see her have a great desire to possess her. Only the strong minded have the ability to control themselves around her. Even though she is a monster she is human and has all the emotions and needs of a human.
Raised by a cruel monster father, who she has to destroy, and live with the scarring effects of that event, this seventeen year old girl has lived a long cruel life in such a short time. She is intimate with Archer who is her friend and lover, but not the soul mate Fire needs or wants. The casual relationships in this book and the anti-marriage attitude is a bit hard to digest, definitely not a way to build a strong society. Also the fact that Archer being Fire’s first lover and considerably older than her is disturbing.
Fire’s abilities are needed to help the royal family uncover a plot against the king. Fire travels far from home to help the king, but she has a hard time using her powers and faces many difficult challenges. She does find true love and loses loved ones along the way.
I found many things difficult in this book. The story of the monsters and where they came from and how they came about goes no where, we are told nothing about their origins and why Fire is supposedly the last surviving one. Archer who is intimate with Fire and supposedly her lover is also intimate with any other willing lady; he is not a good role model for the young adult audience that this book is intended for. He fathers two children and basically leaves them to fend for themselves and his disregard for Fire is horrific. Fire’s having her cycle and having to be guarded does not add anything to the story and just seems weird.
The story tends to lag and bounces around and I found the people from the different kingdoms to be confusing. I never bonded with anyone and actually did not even care much for Fire.
The love story between Fire and Brigan does not have much substance and therefore it is hard to tell why they really do fall in love.
I found this a difficult and long read, I would not recommend this book to “Graceling” fans; the two stories are not connected and one could definitely live without reading this book.

A point that I think has been overlooked, is Bounce Rate - if google is using Bounce Rate as a metric in ranking - ie click a link and bounce staright back to the results, then as you would expect Bounce Rate to correlate with page load speed, then by association if google is measuring Bounce Rate, it is measuring page load speed as a factor of Bounce Rate. However, as your results show, there is no correlation between the time a page is accessible and ranking - therefore is this an indicution that Bounce Rate is also NOT a alogrithm factor?

Yes, the rhubarb is up in my garden and now I must be patient for it to grow to maturity. At that point the stalks can be used in tarts, pies, sauces, jams, jellies, puddings and drinks. My favorite way to use rhubarb is to make it into a crisp – it tastes as good as a pie but has far fewer calories since it has no crust. I tend to like my desserts a little less sweet, so feel free to use only as much sugar as you need for your taste.
Wait to harvest your rhubarb until the plant is three years old. This allows the leaves to grow and produce food for good crown and root development. During the third year, harvest only for a four week period. Wait until the stalks are 10 to 15 inches long, then grasp the stalk below the leaf and pull up slightly to one side. Remove leaves by cutting slightly below the leaf and discard them. Since the leaves contain a moderately poisonous oxalic acid, they should never be eaten.
If you have enough rhubarb to freeze, when it comes time to use the frozen rhubarb, measure while it is still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander and use the fruit in your recipe without pressing the liquid out.
The taste alone encourages me to cook with rhubarb, but the nutritional benefits of rhubarb are also significant. Rhubarb is high in calcium, lutein, vitamin k and antioxidants.

Thanks guys. I have turned wood on this but my plan now is to retire it. It’s a novelty compared to modern lathes. I tried selling it locally and the only interest was from a guy who wanted to make a grinder out of it so I declined selling it to him. I have a line on a tool rest which will make it complete then I will probably make a display stand for my office.

That s a good idea, making a variable speed grinder out of an old lathe, not one this nice though.
This lathe came with a work arbor for mounting a grinding wheel or other attachments. They also made a buffing spindle for the outboard side. I’ve considered using it that way but it’s not worth the effort unless you want to make a treadle setup because it takes up a lot of space for the size. The inboard only has a 7” swing so you are limited to a 6” grinding wheel and would need a bushing to adapt to the smaller lathe arbor. But making a multipurpose grinder/buffer/sander from an old lathe is a great idea and you don’t need anything but the headstock.

Rick, late to the party as usual. I just stumbled on this blog today. I was given a 494 a couple of years ago and have occasionally looked for a tool rest for it. Haven’t done anything with it due to the fact I don’t currently have a suitable shop. Here is a view from the backside cause I can’t turn the table around right now
You can see I still have the bolt and knob for the tool rest, but would like to find the rest.You might not be able to see, but the pulleys were changed to v-belt pulleys at some point, probably for ease of replacing belts.Below is the motor that was on it, a Westinghouse 1/4 hp 1725 rpm. Humms nice and quiet :)
The motor was set toward the rear of the table to avoid the chips flying. Your motor must turn the other direction. The piece closest to the camera (broken of course) was bolted to one side of the motor and the little round extensions sat in the cradles thus suspending the motor by one side to provide belt tension. There is also enough forward and back adjustability for all 3 pulley positions.
I got replacement oilers from McMaster Carr. It hase a faceplate screwed onto the headstock.
I think this takes a #1 Morse Taper?
Someday, I plan on getting it cleaned up and in working order, if I can find the toolrest. There was a post in Practicalmachinist.com back in May 2009 by MarcD referring to reproductions being made at Cattail Foundry, wherever that is.

ViA has been a mystery since day one; scheming from the shadows and preparing "the player" for a final confrontation. And now, that time is almost upon us.
The development team hasn't made an announcement yet when we can expect to go toe to toe with ViA one more time. However, considering there will be no maintenance next week and the current DiVE Armor Iris capsule ends on February 1st, it's safe to assume the last Story Mode chapter (and most likely a playable version of the new ViA) will drop on February 1st.
Let us now what you think of this new revelation in the comments!

Mark your calendar now, and plan to join with fellow Harvard alumni in the Northern New England region for a very special and timely virtual event.
As the majority of us are at home socially distancing due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Juliette has become the face of tough-love crisis management. In the process, she is advising mayors, governors, and CEOs and informing millions of viewers on CNN where she serves as a National Security Analyst about the “preparedness paradox” and the need to understand a basic truth of this crisis: “Reality bites, but it is all we got.” A Pulitzer Prize finalist, Professor Kayyem told us in her 2016 best-selling book, Security Mom: “In the struggle for resiliency, there is no finish line. There is only a plan, and a whole lot of learning, followed by a new and better plan.” Juliette helps us understand the “adaptive recovery” of this global pandemic and reminds us regularly that our “now normal” will be a new, different one.
Sign Up! This event is free — BUT space is limited and registration is required. Please register by Sunday, November 29. Please email Doug Chamberlain ’73, Secretary/Treasurer of The Harvard Club of New Hampshire, at email@example.com. If you register, the Club will email you a Zoom link the day before the event.

Please check with the provider for deposits and rates in other amounts and currencies.
How do high interest savings accounts work in Singapore?
High-interest accounts, also called multiplier accounts, often come with strings attached and low base interest rates. To unlock bonus interest tiers, you’d typically need to fulfil a number of criteria, such as meeting a minimum monthly credit card expenditure, salary credit, bill payment or investment requirements.
For instance, the DBS Multiplier Account calculates your interest receivable based on your income, as well as credit card expenditure, home instalment loan payments, insurance costs or investment transactions facilitated through DBS/POSB. The more you transact, the higher the interest rate you’d accrue on your account balance.
How do I know if I’m eligible for a multiplier account in Singapore?
Since most multiplier accounts require specific criteria to unlock higher interest tiers, you’d need to consider if your monthly financial activity meets these conditions. For example, both the DBS Multiplier Account and OCBC 360 Account require a monthly salary crediting of at least $2,000.
So if you’re a student with no monthly salary, you’ll not be able to qualify for the bonus interest that is only awarded for salary crediting.
What fees may apply with high interest rate savings accounts in Singapore?
Here are some fees you may encounter with a high-interest savings account in Singapore:
Fall below fee. If you’re unable to maintain the required average daily balance specified by your account, expect to pay a monthly fall-below fee of around $5. Check with your account provider for the exact fall below fees charged.
Early account closure fees. Some banks charge early closure fees (typically range from $30 to $50) if you close down your bank account within six months of opening it.
Is a multiplier account in Singapore the right savings account for me?
That depends on your personal finances. For example, if you’re using a DBS Multiplier Account only for salary crediting and conducting transactions of less than $2,500 per month, you’ll receive an interest rate of 0.4% p.a.
If you want a higher interest rate for your savings, then this may not be the most ideal account for you. You could find less stringent, more flexible savings accounts in Singapore that offer interest rates of up to 2% p.a.
Frequently asked questions
It depends on your financial situation. Savings accounts could be an effective way to earn interest without limiting access to your funds. Fixed deposits (FD) can also pay more interest than savings accounts, though your money will be locked in for a fixed period.
Some banks have different interest rates depending on how much money is in your account. For example, balances below $10,000 could have a rate of 0.5% while balances that exceed $10,000 have a 1.5% interest rate. With multiple rates potentially applying to your account, the maximum variable rate available will fluctuate with your bank balance.
For most bank accounts in Singapore, both Singaporeans and work-permit holding foreigners are eligible for an account. Be mindful that you need to be at least 18 to get a debit card and between 21 and 65 for a credit card.
The signup process is exactly like signing up for any regular bank account in Singapore. You can read signing up for a bank account in Singapore in our step-by-step guide here.

All My Children Vet Caught Up In Law & Order Backstage Intrigue: ‘I Wanted to Address the Chatter… ‘
Fans want to know if the former soap star was pushed out of her primetime gig.
There are two mysteries unfolding behind the scenes at NBC’s long-running series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. One is how the character of Amanda Rollins will be written out during the upcoming season of the wildly popular procedural. The other is exactly why portrayer Kelli Giddish — remembered by daytime fans for her sometimes controversial stint as Di Henry — is leaving the show in the first place.
“I want to address the chatter I’ve seen online, and let everyone know that this will, indeed, be my last season,” the actress said in an Instagram post on Wednesday. She went on to call playing Rollins for the past 12 years “one of the greatest joys and privileges of my life.”
Certainly this seemed like an open-and-shut case, given how often actors have departed the various branches of the Law & Order franchise. But then rumors began circulating that the decision to leave was not one made by the actress, but rather those further up the proverbial food chain. As angry fans lashed out on Twitter — some using the #NoRollinsNoRatings hashtag to indicate they’d boycott the show unless things changed — incoming showrunner David Graziano suggested cooler heads should prevail.
“You might take a moment to entertain the idea that things are more complex than they appear in a world of emojis and tweets,” he said in the comments section of Giddish’s post. He went on to say that the actress at the heart of the brewing controversy “has handled this with the most incredibly classy comportment.”
All My Children viewers will recall that Giddish’ run on the soap was not necessarily a smooth one. Fans weren’t thrilled at the idea that she’d been brought on as a new Dixie (following the departure of wildly-popular Cady McClain and the character’s presumed death) in 2005. It didn’t help that the actress was the same age as Jacob Young, who played Dixie’s son, JR!
Eventually, it would be revealed that the Pine Valley newbie was actually Dixie’s half sister, Di Henry. Less than three years after Giddish joined the show, Di would meet her maker after winding up on the wrong end of a gun.
As of yet, there’s no word on how Giddish and Rollins will exit SVU or how far into the season either will appear.

I've made a slight alteration to the Mary Go 'Round dress, by adding an extra button. It seemed to need the extra button to make it sit correctly.
After much deliberation and researching, I have finally started my Retro Pillow. There's lots of work ahead for me and still much for me to learn to enable me to finish the pillow. Here's a photo of fabric I'm using as inspiration for my pillow. I forgot to copy the address of the location of the fabric.
I can clearly remember fabric like this from the 70s. In fact, we had curtains that were made from a very similar material. I've chosen a dark navy for the background and will do the flowers in purples and mauves.
When I bought my fabrics, the lady who owns the shop commented on the fact that I was using colours used by the Amish in their quilts. She was extremely helpful in answering my questions on quilting and even talked me out of buying some fabric. I can remember different textured fabrics from the 70s, such as velours and chenille. The shopkeeper felt that for a first time quilting, the chenille would be too difficult. I was impressed that she cared enough to do herself out of a sale.
At the moment, I'm playing with arranging circles and flower shapes on the dark navy fabric. I wonder if what's in my head will translate to the finished pillow....
Thanks for the comment on my pillow project....since I don't ever keep them long enough to need to wash...I dont worry about permanence...so I can't answer the question...I just go for it! Would love to have you as a follower..I joined your wonderful blog!ReplyDelete
I like the fabric and the color choices u r describing sound promising. Curious what u will come up with. The little dress is cute!ReplyDelete
I LOVE that fabric!ReplyDelete
Thanks for linking up at Freestyle Friday and good luck on your pillow!! I have got to get going on mine, sheesh! :)ReplyDelete
Although a bit too colourful I must admit I actually quite like the fabric! it looks very cheerful! Can't wait to see what you’ll make.ReplyDelete
