When We Had Sled Dogs
Your Nickel's Worth Publishing / 17 June 2019
When We Had Sled Dogs: A Story from the Traplineby Ida Tremblay and Miriam Körner Published by Your Nickel's Worth PublishingReview by Shelley A. Leedahl$19.95 ISBN 978-1-988783-39-0 Searching for a book that's educational, Woodland Cree/English bilingual, and specifically Saskatchewan? If you'd also appreciate that the story be packaged in a beautifully-illustrated hardcover, then When We Had Sled Dogs: A Story from the Trapline, should fill your desires. This upbeat and colourful book was inspired by the life of La Ronge, SK Elder Ida Tremblay, who shared her memories of "growing up following the seasonal cycle of trapline life" with Miriam Körner. Körner – also from La Ronge – wrote and illustrated the book, which, sadly, Tremblay never got to see, as she died shortly before it was published. During the summer, while Tremblay's father worked as a fishing guide, the rest of the family camped at McKenzie End, close to La Ronge. Before winter froze the lake, Ida's family would canoe for five or six days to their cabin on the Churchill River and tend the trapline until spring. Körner's had the privilege of accompanying Tremblay "up north and back to the past," and thus veracity is maintained through first-hand…
When The Trees Crackle with Cold Activity Book
Your Nickel's Worth Publishing / 12 July 2018
When the Trees Crackle with Cold: A Cree Seasons Activity Book By Bernice Johnson-Laxdal and Miriam Körner Review by Michelle Shaw Published by Your Nickel's Worth Publishing $12.95 ISBN 9781988783161 Created as a companion activity book to the award-winning When the Trees Crackle with Cold: A Cree Calendar, this book could equally stand alone as a wonderful introduction to the Cree language and culture for readers of all ages. The first book by co-authors Bernice Johnson-Laxdal and Miriam Körner was a beautifully illustrated narrative of Bernice's Cree childhood in northern Saskatchewan. The narrative of their book is based around the Cree calendar, which consists of six seasons divided into twelve moons, and Bernice's family's activities associated with each moon. The activity book follows the same format with simple projects which deepen and complement the reader's understanding of each of the activities described in the first book. Each page is black and white with a full-page illustration on one of the facing pages. Activities include making your own toy dog team, creating your very own geese flying in a V-formation, growing your own tomato plants, and even instructions on how to make your own moose call. There are also word searches…
When The Trees Crackle With Cold: A Cree Calendar
Your Nickel's Worth Publishing / 10 May 2018
When the Trees Crackle with Cold: A Cree Calendar By Bernice Johnson-Laxdal and Miriam Körner Review by Michelle Shaw Published by Your Nickel's Worth Publishing $12.95 9781927756935 Winner of the recent Saskatchewan Book Awards Children's Literature Award, When the Trees Crackle with Cold: A Cree Calendar is a beautifully written and illustrated narrative of the author's Cree childhood in northern Saskatchewan. Bernice Johnson-Laxdal comes from a large family of 14 children and grew up in the predominantly Métis community of Ile-a-la-Crosse, which is situated along one of Western Canada's major fur trade routes. From an early age Bernice was involved in her family's traditional activities: gathering, growing and preparing food, hunting, trapping and making clothing. Most of these activities were (and still are) dependent on the seasons of the year. The book beautifully combines story and image with Körner's playful watercolors skillfully enhancing the simple word pictures. The narrative is based around the Cree calendar which consists of six seasons divided into twelve moons, which reflect the traditional knowledge of the natural cycle. I found the concept so much more enriching for my soul than the traditional Western calendar! I loved the way each of the 12 moons reflects the…
Li'l Shadd: A Story of Ujima
Your Nickel's Worth Publishing / 2 February 2016
Li'l Shadd: A Story of Ujima by Miriam Körner and Alix Lwanga, illustrated by Miriam Körner Published by Your Nickel's Worth Publishing Review by Shelley A. Leedahl $29.95 ISBN 978-1-927756-48-5 Saskatchewan's history is so multi-culturally rich that there are, admittedly, elements of it that I've scarcely even considered. Take, for example, the first African-Canadian pioneers, including the trail-blazing Dr. Alfred Schmitz Shadd (d.1915), for whom two Melfort streets and a northern Saskatchewan lake are named. Dr. Shadd shared an affinity with First Nations' folks, "due to the similarity of their experiences with colonization and racism," and the Saskatchewan African Canadian Heritage Museum – with the assistance of other funders and sponsors – has brought just one of Shadd's success stories to light in the delightfully-illustrated children's book, Li'l Shadd: A Story of Ujima. The title character, Li'l Shadd, represents Garrison Shadd, the real-life son of the good Dr. Shadd, who's also recognized for his work as a politician, teacher, farmer, journalist and friend. Garrison was actually five years old when his pioneering father died, so the story itself is slightly fictionalized. The plot concerns the child accompanying his father (via horse-drawn wagon) to tend to the baby girl of a…

Imagining Tomorrow vs. Crying Today
Published under Gaza, Introspection, Iran, Israel, Mideast Negotiations, Music, OneVoice Movement, Palestine May 31, 2010
Anyone who has been following the news today about the Gaza flotilla debacle and the tragic course of events, including the loss of lives, of hopes, and of peaceful respectful relations would not be faulted for being gloomy and depressed and for throwing in the towel, thinking that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is just not going to be resolved and war is going to doom that region for eternity.
Perhaps it's the contrarian in me, but I've heard this tune and just when things start getting as ugly as they seem to be getting now in the Middle East, an opportunity starts arising to awaken people into their power for positive change – in this case based on a two state solution that recognizes the rights of both peoples.
Behind the scenes, OneVoice has been preparing a campaign to inspire Palestinians and Israelis to visualize a two state solution: Imagine 2018. I shared this campaign with Sir Paul McCartney earlier today and he recognized its potential to shake people out of their complacency or fatalism and into action.
You could argue this is not the time to launch such a campaign – that it is the time to solemnly mourn. And to recognize that there are major impediments, not the least of which is Hamas control of Gaza (a proxy of Iran) and ideological settlers taking Israel and its government hostage.
But maybe this IS the time to take action. For otherwise we will be victims to follies and extremism and partisanship forever.
Maybe the time has come to break those shackles of absolutism and rancor, and to start saying, let's stop making excuses about why peace is never going to come about, and let's start building the foundations – in our visions, in our minds, and on the ground – to just make it happen. Two states for two proud peoples. It may not happen overnight. And it may not happen across the entire land at the same time. But you have to start somewhere.
Quote of the Week: Sir Paul McCartney – Ebony and Ivory
Published under Art, Favorite Quotes, Music, OneVoice Movement, United Kingdom, United States May 31, 2010
Am on my way back from DC to NYC after a briefing with Paul McCartney on behalf of OneVoice (on whose Honorary Board he sits). Earlier during rehearsals, I was struck at the beautiful simplicity and deep truth of the lyrics of Ebony and Ivory:
EBONY AND IVORY,
LIVE TOGETHER IN PERFECT HARMONY,
SIDE BY SIDE ON MY PIANO KEYBOARD,
OH, LORD, WHY DON'T WE?
WE ALL KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE THE SAME WHEREVER YOU GO,
THERE IS GOOD AND BAD IN EV'RYONE.
AND WE LEARN TO LIVE, WE LEARN TO GIVE EACH OTHER
WHAT WE NEED TO SURVIVE, TOGETHER ALIVE.
- Sir Paul McCartney (c)
Later this week, Sir Paul is receiving the Gershwin Prize from President Obama.

One study showed that when researched encouraged their subjects to imagine giving charity, the part of the brain associated with eating or sexual pleasure lit up.
Remembering 9/11 – an essay I wrote about New York City during that week
Published under Democracy and Freedom (or lack of), Education/Raising Children, Entrepreneurship and Management, Global, Introspection, Leadership, Life, Media and Alternative Media, Middle East, New York City, PeaceWorks Business, United States May 24, 2010
I just re-read an essay I wrote (as therapy, I guess) back on September 11, 2001 and a couple days after, trying to capture the thoughts and feelings of New Yorkers after the World Trade Center terrorist attack.
It is worth remembering what the city and its people went through.
It is worth honoring the heroes and the fallen.
And it is worth reflecting on how we can deny a victory to the terrorists, back then and today, not just by apprehending them, but also by the lives we lead and how we lead them.
The original essay, Etiquette and Resilience in the Face of Calamity, is in the PeaceWorks Foods archives. A copy is pasted below.
Two from Avnery
Published under Democracy and Freedom (or lack of), Gaza, Israel, Middle East, Mideast Negotiations, OneVoice Movement, Palestine, United Kingdom, United States May 23, 2010
Uri Avnery is in his 80s. The wisdom of his years – and his fascinating journey – shows in the articles below, but he retains a youthful optimism and a crisp analytical mind that are much needed in today's world.
Below are two very solid articles on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict – the latter being extraordinarily depressing but obligatory reading. For those who don't know Uri Avnery, he is very much a man from the left, but he is intellectually rigorous always and thus worthwhile reading even (and particularly) for those from opposite sides of the spectrum.
Stimulating creativity and curiosity in children
Published under Education/Raising Children, Family, Innovation, Science and Technology May 23, 2010
Modern technology and education may not encourage creativity and imagination in children as much as the past. Reading books makes you imagine your own characters, and blocks of wood – or pieces of nature – can prompt a child to imagine its toys. But tvs, xboxes, video games and pdas are less likely to stimulate the unknown, as they guide you through a pre-created and pre-imagined world.
Here is an article from babycenter (an informative and valuable website for parents) that shares ideas on how to tap your child's natural curiosity.

If the Cold War had gone differently, Russia would probably already have a reserve of walking tanks. Instead, our somewhat more peaceful reality will have to settle for mobile games about mechanized combat robots.
Mail.Ru, one of Russia's top internet companies, has acquired developer Pixonic for $30 million. The studio's War Robots, a strategy game featuring legged combat vehicles for iOS and Android, is a major hit in globally. With a purchase like this, Mail.Ru can now access a major new audience that is spending money on free-to-play apps in the $36.6 billion mobile-gaming industry — especially in the United States where War Robots generates the bulk of its revenues.
Russia is a growing market for game spending. The country never really adopted consoles, but it is one of the most important regions for free-to-play spending on microtransactions for PC games. That has made the team-tank shooter World of Tanks a mammoth success. But while Mail.Ru has also found success in that country publishing games, it is looking for more worldwide appeal and War Robots can deliver that.
Pixonic chief executive Philipp Gladkov and chief operating officer Igor Klyukin took over the Moscow-based studio in 2013 and then oversaw the launch of War Robots in 2014. That game is out worldwide, and it makes enough money to put Pixonic at No. 8 in terms of revenues among Russian-region publishers, according to a report from intelligence firm App Annie. The studio is also on pace to continue growing through the end of the year.
"We are pleased that we signed up to one of the strongest teams of developers of mobile games in the world," Mail.Ru chief executive and cofounder Dmitry Grishin said in a canned statement. "We are confident that the merger will strengthen the international trend of mobile development and publishing, and together we will make the company even more successful games in the world market."
With this partnership, Pixonic can continue to develop War Robots while Mail.Ru markets the game to its massive Russian user base. That could significantly amplify the game's growth. But both companies also want to expand well beyond Russia with their products.
"The teams Pixonic and Mail.Ru Group have a common vision of the development of mobile games in the world market, and we are pleased to be able to combine our capabilities and expertise," Gladkov said in a statement. "I am confident that together we will not only increase the audience War Robots, but also release a new hit songs."
Corrected at 11:15 a.m. October 3: This story originally claimed War Robots performed best in Russia. That is not accurate. It makes most of its revenue from the U.S. I've corrected the text, and I apologize for the error.

Garry Brown (born 27 October 1954) is an Australian former track and field athlete who specialised in the 400 metres hurdles. He was the champion in that event at the 1982 Commonwealth Games after winning two minor medals at the 1978 Commonwealth Games. His personal best of 49.37 seconds was set as part of his Commonwealth win.

Career
Raised in Queensland, he began to reach the top level nationally in the late 1970s, taking the runner-up spot at the Australian Athletics Championships behind Peter Grant in 1977. He was coached by former hurdler Gary Knoke. Brown's first international appearances came at the 1977 IAAF World Cup (sixth in the final) and the 1977 Pacific Conference Games, where he was the gold medallist at the Canberra-hosted event. He also came third in the 400 m hurdles at the AAA Championships in England that year, beaten by Rich Graybehl and Alan Pascoe.

Brown was among the favourites for the 1978 Commonwealth Games, but in the strong wind of the final both he and Alan Pascoe of England (the defending champion) were beaten by Kenya's Daniel Kimaiyo, who was the newly minted All-Africa Games champion. Brown was left with the silver medal in the hurdles. After his individual medal, he added a further bronze medal with the Australian 4×400 metres relay team of Chum Darvall, John Higham and Rick Mitchell.

After missing 1979, the 1980 season saw Brown become the Australian national champion in the hurdles for the first time. He repeated that feat two consecutive times and his 1982 time of 49.89 seconds was the fastest electronically recorded time at the championships until 1988. He placed sixth at both the 1981 IAAF World Cup and the 1981 Pacific Conference Games, but came away with a relay gold medal at the latter competition.

In the last major season of his career, he began with a runner-up finish at the AAA Championships behind America's James King. The 1982 Commonwealth Games was held in Brisbane and he was the home favourite for the 400 m hurdles. Coming into the final straight, Ugandan Peter Rwamuhanda was in first place but, after a stumble at the final hurdle Brown, took the lead. Brown had a lifetime best in the race, running 49.37 seconds to become the Commonwealth champion. This time placed him second to Bruce Field (49.32) on the all-time Australian ranking and 15th in the world rankings that year. Although only in his late twenties, this proved to be the last major outing internationally as he was not part of the Australian relay team and withdrew from the first ever Australian squad for the 1983 World Championships in Athletics. He still competed successfully at a national level up to 1984.

After his retirement from active competition, he went on to become an athletics coach, specialising in teaching hurdling technique. He also published articles on the subject. The Queensland Club Championships was titled the Garry Brown Shield in his honour.

The height of a liquid level from the bottom of a storage tank or the like is accurately determined by using a probe with dual isolated channels to measure the time for an acoustic signal to travel between fixed submerged points and from a transducer in one of the channels to the surface of the liquid. Elapsed time measurements are converted to liquid volume using predetermined velocity-temperature values to compensate for temperature variations in the tank.
This invention relates to methods and apparatus for monitoring the volume of liquids in storage tanks and the like. More particularly, it relates to methods and apparatus employing a probe which measures the time required for an acoustic signal to travel from a known reference point to the surface of a liquid to determine the level of liquid in a tank and converts the liquid level to net volume at a specific temperature using predetermined conversion factors.
Many liquids are commonly stored in tanks located underground or otherwise disposed so that the actual liquid surface level cannot be observed directly. Furthermore, environmental protection regulations require that tanks which contain certain products such as gasoline and the like be equipped with means for detecting very low leak rates.
While estimates of liquid level in a tank can, in most cases, be made with a calibrated dip stick or the like, this method is neither accurate nor reliable. Furthermore, it provides no means to compensate for volumetric changes resulting from temperature changes.
More sophisticated instruments have been developed which measure the time required for an acoustic signal to travel from a transducer located at a known location in the tank to the surface of the liquid and return to the transducer by reflection from the surface. As with a calibrated dip stick, the gross volume of liquid can be determined from the measured liquid level if the geometry of the tank is known. However, the velocity of an acoustic signal in a liquid varies with temperature of the liquid. Thus, to determine the actual height of the liquid level, the temperature of the liquid must be known. Unfortunately, the temperature of a liquid in a large storage tank is seldom constant throughout the liquid. Accordingly, in using acoustic methods to obtain accurate distance measurements in a liquid, the temperature of the liquid must be measured at various heights from the bottom of the tank and the vertical of the acoustic signal through each horizontal section of liquid compensated for temperature. This, of course, requires a plurality of temperature measuring devices at precisely known locations. Alternatively, a plurality of reflectors may be placed at fixed known locations with respect to the transducer and the time for an acoustic signal return from each such reflector measured. Thus, if the distance between reflectors is known and the temperature of the liquid between two of such reflectors is known, a temperature compensated average velocity can be calculated to determine the height of the liquid surface. However, this approach has inherent difficulties and limitations. At least one temperature measuring device must be submerged in the liquid and the average temperature calculated from various reflection time measurements. Furthermore, it becomes extremely difficult to distinguish between acoustic signals reflected from the liquid surface and acoustic signals reflected from the fixed reflectors, particularly where the reflector is near the liquid surface.
Various attempts have been made to determine net liquid volume in a tank by measuring acoustic signal velocity through the liquid. Typical of such attempts is U.S. Pat. No. 4,805,453 wherein a complicated signal detection scheme is employed in an attempt to distinguish between reflections from the liquid surface and reflections from a fixed reflector. Temperature compensation is attempted in the typical manner of using at least one submerged temperature sensor and extrapolation of temperature data from actual measurement at a fixed location.
It is well known that actual measurement of the temperature of a liquid is difficult and that temperature-sensing devices submerged in a liquid are expensive, subject to failure and frequently unreliable. Furthermore, the prior art has generally failed to recognize that the average velocity of an acoustic signal from a transducer to a reflective surface is not necessarily equal to true velocity at any point between the active surface of the transducer and the reflector because of errors introduced at the surface of the transducer. For example, cavitation may occur at the fluid/transducer interface. Velocity of the acoustic signal through any vapor or foam formed by cavitation would, of course, be different from velocity through the liquid. Any such effects occurring at the face of the transducer thus introduce errors in the measured elapsed time.
In accordance with the present invention, highly accurate liquid level measurements are made and temperature compensated without using a submerged temperature sensor, and liquid level measurements are made without possible interference by fixed reflectors. To accomplish these measurements, the invention employs a probe comprising two parallel tubes or channels positioned vertically in the tank. A transducer is secured in the extreme lower end of each tube and the extreme end of the probe positioned at a known distance from or adjacent the bottom of the tank. Reflectors are positioned at known distances from the transducer in one of the parallel tubes. The other tube contains no reflectors.
FIG. 2 is a system diagram of the apparatus of the invention.
The preferred arrangement of tank monitoring probe and its position within a tank to employ the principles of the invention are illustrated in FIG. 1. The probe 10 comprises an elongated body defining dual linearly elongated parallel cylinders 11 and 12 referred to herein as channel 1 and channel 2, respectively. The probe body may be formed as a unitary molded or extruded body or may be fabricated from a pair of tubes. The probe is preferably formed of non-metallic materials which are resistant to the environment in which it is to be used. Various plastics, fiberglass and the like are suitable. Significant criteria in selecting the material of the probe are that it be inert with respect to its operating environment and that it not act as an acoustic wave propagation device at the frequencies of the transducer used. The probe must also be relatively rigid, straight and have a low coefficient of expansion with temperature.
First acoustic transducer 21 and second acoustic transducer 22 are secured within the extreme ends of channels 1 and 2, respectively, and the probe 10 supported vertically within a tank by suitable suspension means 18 with the extreme end of the probe 10 adjacent or at a known distance from the bottom 13 of the tank.
Suspension means 18 may be any suitable mechanical means such as a bale, chain or the like which supports the probe 10 vertically within the tank and is normally secured within a necked opening 20 in the top 19 of the tank. In order to convert the collected data to volume, the exact geometry of the tank and the distance from the bottom of the tank to the active surface of the transducers 21 and 22 must, of course, be known. Furthermore, since distance measurements are made within the confines of the channels 1 and 2, means such as holes 14 in the channels must be provided so that the surface level 15 of the liquid in the tank is at all times the same as the liquid level in channels 1 and 2.
A plurality of reflectors R1-R5 is positioned within channel 2 at known distances from transducer 22. For convenience, the reflectors may be spaced at equal volumetric intervals (the distance between each reflector representing an equal portion of the total tank volume) and/or the reflectors may be made progressively larger with distance from the transducer 22. The number and location of reflectors may, of course, be varied as desired. However, since the acoustic signal sensed by the transducer is a reflection from one of the reflectors, care should be taken to avoid placing any reflector at a distance from the transducer which is a multiple of the distance between the transducer and any other reflector.
The channels are used to isolate the acoustic signals from each other and prevent echo returns from anything other than the surface of the liquid in channel 1 and the reflectors in channel 2. By isolating the acoustic signals from each other and from the remainder of the tank, signal interference from extraneous reflections is avoided. Signal degradation by dispersion within the tank is also avoided and the transducer is effectively isolated from external noise. Thus, the signal-to-noise ratio for reflected signals is greatly improved.
In the preferred embodiment, the probe 10 is a one-piece molded structure of plastic or fiberglass having parallel cylindrical channels which are approximately one inch in diameter. Transducers 21 and 22 are secured at the extreme ends of channels 1 and 2, respectively, and arranged to transmit an acoustic signal toward the surface of the liquid and sense a reflected echo. Various conventional acoustic devices are suitable. A typical transducer for use in gasoline storage tanks operates at five hundred kilohertz. The frequency selected, however, is usually determined by the fluid in which it is to be used since the characteristics of the fluid may affect the effective propagation of sound waves at different frequencies.
It should be noted that only the probe 10 which contains transducers 21, 22 and reflectors R1-R5 is positioned within the tank. The probe contains no temperature sensors and no moving parts or electronic devices other than transducers 21, 22 and electrical cables for connecting the transducers to the operating system.
The operating system, comprising a signal processor, a computer and a display, is located in a console at a convenient remote location and connected to the probe by suitable electrical cables. Obviously, the operating system console may be suitably interconnected with a plurality of probes, if desired, positioned in various storage tanks or the like and/or with other condition monitoring systems, alarms, etc.
In order for the system of the invention to accurately determine liquid volume in a tank, the geometry of the tank must be known and the equation for converting liquid height to gross volume stored in the computer. Furthermore, since the velocity of an acoustic signal through a liquid varies with temperature of the liquid, the temperature vs. velocity characteristics of the liquid must be known.
The present invention provides accurate volumetric measurement without directly determining temperature (or density) of the liquid. Instead, velocity vs. temperature measurements are made under precisely controlled laboratory conditions over a range of temperatures for each liquid in connection with which the monitoring system is to be used and the laboratory-determined velocity-temperature coefficients for each such liquid are stored in the computer memory. The computer is programmed to use these values to calculate the temperature of the liquid between the transducer and any reflector or between any two reflectors upon determination of the measured time for an acoustic signal to traverse the known distance in the liquid. Thus, the monitoring system only measures travel times of the acoustic signal between reference points positioned at known distances apart. The computer, using stored data, converts the time data to gross volume. After gross liquid volume has been determined, this value can be converted to net volume (volume of liquid at 60° F.) by using the American Petroleum Institute (API) algorithm known as TAB 6B. The TAB 6B subroutine (or any other suitable conversion factor) is also stored in the computer to convert gross volume to net volume as required.
Operation of the system only requires use of the probe to determine time for an acoustic signal to traverse known distances in the liquid. Transducer 21 is activated to emit a signal pulse and the elapsed time for the signal to travel to the surface 15 of the liquid and return to the transducer is measured. This measurement is made by conventional electronic means employing a clock which is started when the signal is transmitted and stopped when the echo is received. Time of travel is thus represented by clock counts during the time interval. In the preferred method of operation, a plurality of such measurements are performed in rapid succession and an average time computed to improve statistical accuracy. Since the temperature of the liquid is unknown, however, this measurement only determines signal travel time, not distance.
After the signal travel time to the surface of the liquid 15 is determined in channel 1, transducer 22 is pulsed to determine the signal travel time from transducer 22 to each of the reflectors in channel 2 which are submerged. Note that a reflection will also be received from the liquid surface 15 in channel 2. However, if the surface level of liquid 15 is near a reflector, it will be difficult to determine whether the last reflection is from a fixed reflector or the surface of the liquid. Thus, if the elapsed time is close to the time measured in channel 1, the last reflected signal will be disregarded and the next lower reflector recognized as the highest submerged reflector. Since the distance from transducer 22 to each of the reflectors is known, the temperature of the liquid between any two submerged reflectors can be readily calculated by the computer using the measured time and the velocity vs. the computer using the measured time and the velocity vs. temperature data stored in the computer. If more than one reflector is submerged, it is preferable to disregard the measured elapsed time from the transducer to the first reflector R1 since this value may be distorted by interface effects such as cavitation at the transducer surface and/or the presence of a second liquid such as water of sufficient volume to cover the transducer, thus forming a liquid/liquid interface between the transducer and the reflector R1. Since the actual velocity of the acoustic signal between the transducer 22 and each of the reflectors can be calculated from the measured times, and since the distances are known, the average temperature of the liquid between each of the reflectors can be determined and these temperatures used to calculate an average temperature of the liquid to the height of the highest submerged reflector. This average temperature of the entire column of liquid in channel 1 as well as channel 2. Thus, a temperature correction factor for the column of liquid can be determined. By applying the temperature correction factor as determined by the measurements in channel 2, the elapsed time measured in channel 1 can be used to accurately determine the precise level of liquid in channel 1.
Once the liquid level is determined, the gross volume of liquid is determined by reference to a tank table or by applying a known tank geometry factor. Net volume may then be determined by applying the TAB 6B subroutine or other suitable conversion factor.
It will be recognized that under certain conditions two immiscible liquids may be contained in the same tank. In this case, the less dense liquid will float on the more dense liquid forming a liquid/liquid interface. The velocity of an acoustic signal ill, in most cases, be different in each of the liquids.
A two liquid situation frequently occurs in storage tanks for petroleum products such as gasoline by condensation of water or introduction of other contamination. Determination of the presence and volume of such a second liquid is thus critical for making accurate net volume determinations and to making accurate leak detection determinations.
As noted above, the probe 10 is suspended in the tank with the transducers 21, 22 at or near the bottom of the tank. Since the acoustic signal is directed upwardly from the top surfaces of the transducers, any liquid level below the top surfaces of the transducers will not be detected. With the transducers as close as possible to the bottom of the tank, any liquid below the top surface of the transducer can ordinarily be disregarded as negligible. However, if the level of the second liquid is above the active surfaces of the transducers, its volume can be determined by various techniques. For example, if the volume of the lower liquid is sufficiently large, its volume can be determined as described above by treating the liquid/liquid interface as the surface of the liquid.
In ordinary use for monitoring fuel storage tanks, the gradual accumulation of water, if it occurs, will be observed before a large volume is present. Since the accumulation of water is anticipated, temperature vs. velocity information for water is also stored in the computer memory.
As noted above, if the water level is above the first fixed reflector, the level of water can be readily determined by using the reflection from the water/fuel interface as the liquid surface. However, if the water level is below the first reflector, different methods may be used to determine water level.
In using this method, the latest measured or calculated average temperature of the liquid in the tank may be taken as the current temperature of the water if current temperature cannot be determined directly.
It will be readily appreciated that the counts variation method described above does not rely on detecting a reflection from a liquid/liquid interface. Thus, it may be used when the level of the second liquid is very near the surface of the transducer. However, the velocity of sound in each liquid must be different at the temperatures under consideration.
From the foregoing, it will be appreciated that the methods and apparatus of the invention may be used to accurately determine the volume of liquid in a container and determine net volume compensated for temperature without actually measuring the temperature of the liquid in the container. Furthermore, the actual volume of each of two immiscible liquids can also be determined. The apparatus may thus be used to measure very low leak rates by measuring net volume changes with time.
Since the acoustic signal from the transducer used for locating the surface of the liquid is confined to a channel which has no reflectors, detection of a signal reflected from the surface is readily obtained. Isolation of the signal in a vertical channel essentially eliminates extraneous echoes and random noise. Similarly, by confining the signal from the second transducer 22 to an isolated channel, reflections from each reflector can be readily identified. Furthermore, since the distance to each reflector is known and the approximate velocity of the signal through the liquid is known, the signal sensing circuitry can be designed to be activated at predetermined time windows corresponding with estimated time required for a signal return from each reflector, thus further improving signal detection selectivity. By appropriate automatic recycling of the pulsing sequence, statistical averaging can be employed to produce extremely accurate distance measurements.
It will be appreciated that the system described can be programmed to accomplish a wide variety of tasks based on volumetric determinations. For example, leak tests can be performed by making precise net volume measurements at various intervals during a period when additional liquid is neither added nor withdrawn from the storage tank. Similarly, the volume monitoring system described can be used for automatic inventory control, automatic ordering, etc., by proper programming of the computer.
While the invention has been described with reference to monitoring liquid volumes in a storage tank, it will be appreciated that the principles thereof may be applied to similar monitoring applications by appropriate selection of operating components and conditions. It is to be understood, therefore, that although the invention has been described with particular reference to specific embodiments thereof, the forms of the invention shown and described in detail are to be taken as preferred embodiments of the same, and that various changes and modifications may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

The biggest security threat to your company is you and your staff - not the internet.
The internet is merely a communications channel for data - it's how you manage that channel and that data that is important.
With computing, shared networking, and internet connections, it means that information can flow more easily between PCs.
But that also brings with it added security risks - it's easier for people to find your logins and try and force them, and opportunists will try and steal your passwords where they can.
Ultimately, it's not up to the internet or existing software to reactively protect you against every instance of a security threat - you need to take proactive action in the first place to minimise those threats.
This really needs underlining, because even the most sophisticated security equipment will not protect you as required if it is poorly used.
Ultimately, protecting your business can be as easy as using common sense and following very basic steps.
Don't use the passwords manager on Internet Explorer to save passwords. If your PC is infected with a trojan or virus, this is often one of the first places they check.
If you save your passwords to a file - a text or Word document - don't name it something obvious like "passwords". If an unauthorised user got into your PC, you want to make it hard for them to locate your passwords.
Again, if you save passwords in a file, don't use the word "password" in such a file either. Otherwise an unauthorised user could simply use your computer's "search" facility for that word, and go straight to them. Simply use the initials "U" and "P" for "username" and "password" - that will be much harder to search out.
Only provide password information to people who need to use them - and if someone needs to use a password protected feature temporarily, then change the password afterwards. After all, you cannot be certain how well third-parties will protect your important security details.
Have different levels of passwords for different operations. For example, have a different password for accessing your e-mail, and a different password for accessing your website. That way, if someone somehow finds out one of your passwords, they cannot access all of your business operations.
Create really secure passwords by mixing up letters, numbers, and using upper and lower case, and even punctuation marks. Make passwords memorable by basing them on acronyms - ie, this is an article called "Online Security for Business: User access threats" and is written in 2006 - so an acronym from that could be: OS4Buat2006. That's a strong password, and it's much easier to remember as an acronym.
Don't install desktop search applications, even by reputable vendors such as Google or Yahoo!, as they will not only help you find information quickly, but will also be invaluable to a hacker looking for sensitive information on your computer system. Instead, keep your files organised on your PC so you don't need to resort to a desktop search tool in the first place.
Ensure you install anti-virus, a firewall, anti-spyware and anti-adware - and keep them up to date. This will make it far harder for anyone to access your machine without authorisation, The best of these software types will also keep checking the internet for updates.
You should ensure you make regular hard-copy back-ups of your computer data. And store them safely and securely, in a restricted place - such as a safe. You can make these backups to computer tape, DVD or CD media, or even just save everything to a USB stick at the end of the day.
Ensure you have off-site back-ups of all physical and electronic data essential to your business. In the event of catastrophic damage to your premises, you can at least restore basic business operations.
You are never going to be clear of security risks - but you can certainly minimise them. Keeping a security-conscious office is neither expense nor time-consuming. Considering the costs of losing essential data and equipment, can it really be that hard?

Q: PyroCms / in page slug Im creating a new page to display in the sidebar navigation on my pyroCms page.
I want the page url to be "auctions/create" but im unabled to since it will not accept "/" sign in the slug field.
Is there another way of doing this? I just want dynamically to be able to create links for the sidebar and make it go to modules.
Hope you understand.
Jonas

A: If you choose the "Site Link (URI)" option when creating your link, you should be able to put a link with a slash in the "Site Link (URI)" field.

The Center for Bioethical Reform, in partnership with the Grantham collection, has released the full version of a video which became a source of political controversy after the 2nd Republican debate.
The 13 minute long video shows the birth of what CBR describes as a "17 1/2 week fetus." The fetus is placed in a metal pan with a clamp attached to its umbilical cord. A comparison demonstrates the new video is the source of the brief segment that appeared in a video produced by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), a pro-life investigatory group which has produced undercover videos critical of Planned Parenthood.
After the debate, various news outlets claimed to be unable to locate any such video. In a post titled, "Carly Fiorina is wrong about the Planned Parenthood tapes. I know because I watched them," Vox's Sarah Kliff said the video was "pure fiction." Kliff later updated her story after a link to the video in question was provided by the Federalist's Mollie Hemingway.
The graphic video of a "fully formed fetus… its legs kicking" appears in episode 3 of a multi-part documentary produced by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP). This video shows former tissue procurement specialist Holly O'Donnell describing how she was shown an intact fetus with a beating heart. O'Donnell says of this moment, "I don't know if that constitutes it's technically dead, or it's alive." O'Donnell was then asked to harvest brain tissue from the same fetus by cutting through its face.
As O'Donnell narrates her gruesome experience, the video shifts to 10 seconds of a fetus in a metal bowl which is still moving. The video is clearly labeled as coming from the Grantham Collection & Center for Bioethical Reform. It is not video of the fetus O'Donnell is describing but was inserted by the producers to illustrate what a living fetus at this gestation would look like.
A) Footage of a baby who survived an abortion — notably, this baby may not have been at Planned Parenthood*, and we have no reason to think he or she was cut up for his or her organs.
B) Abortion clinic officials saying things that could suggest they may deliver live babies, rather than abort them, in order to preserve the value of the body parts.
C) The first-hand account of former biotech worker Holly O'Donnell, who described an aborted baby boy whose heart was still beating and who was cut up for his brain.
Carly Fiorina appears to have conflated the video of the fetus with the story being told by O'Donnell at the same time. It's fair to say Fiorina's description was incorrect to the degree it treated both incidents as relating to one fetus; however, both the brain harvesting incident and the video of a fully formed, kicking fetus are real.
Warning to Readers: This video is extremely graphic and includes the fetus being expelled from a woman's body as well as images of the fetus in the metal bowl. The section that appeared in the CMP video clip can be found at about 3:40 into this clip.

Gwen (Day) Hooks was born in Keystone, Alberta in 1920. The Day family was one of the first Black families to settle in the area. The Days later moved to Radway and then to Newbrook, about 62 miles (100 kilometres) north of Edmonton. With no high school in Newbrook, Gwen moved to Edmonton to complete her education. She attended Eastwood High School and participated in the choir and the track and field club. After high school, she was encouraged by her mother to pursue a teaching career—one of the few professions (other than domestic work) open to Black women. She completed a one-year teaching program at a Normal School, an institution solely dedicated to training future teachers.
After obtaining her teaching certificate, Gwen returned to Keystone where she taught at Funnell School. She taught students in Grades 1 through 10.
At this time, she met Mark Hooks, a veteran of the Second World War whose family had also settled near Keystone. They married in 1947 and purchased Rolla Ramsey's homestead in Keystone. (Keystone, after 1927, became known as Breton in honour of Douglas Breton, whose efforts brought the railway to the community.)
In addition to farming, Mark worked in the oilfields, and Gwen continued to teach. They had two children, Wayne and Terry. Wayne currently works in construction; he and his wife Gail (née Hope) have two children, Karen and Adam. Terry founded the insurance company, Hooks Insurance; he is married to Gail (née Wetwiski) and has two children, Tyler and Devon.
In 1954, Funnell School closed down due to a lack of enrolment. Gwen applied to teach at the nearby Breton School. However, the school board, because of an unrelated incident that spurred racial tension in the area, rejected her application. Clearly distraught over the incident, Gwen was forced to relocate to the County of Leduc, where she began teaching at Warburg School. For 22 years, she focused her attention on helping children with special needs. In 1966, she became the principal for special needs education at Warburg. During this time, she was also able to earn a Bachelor's degree in Education from the University of Alberta. In 1976, she went to teach special education at Breton Elementary.
Upon her retirement in 1979, Gwen was elected president of the Breton and District Historical Society. This organization has been active in preserving the history of Alberta's Black pioneers by restoring Keystone Cemetery and by establishing a museum that highlights Black history in Breton.
In 1994, Hooks's husband Mark died and was buried in Breton Cemetery. Gwen wroteThe Keystone Legacy: Recollections of a Black Settler in his memory.
Gwen has travelled across Canada, researching and interviewing Keystone settlers and their descendants. In 2005, in recognition of her exhausting work, Athabasca University awarded Gwen an Honorary Doctorate of Letters. Today, Gwen continues to write and has published two volumes of poetry, entitled As Time Goes By, Volumes 1 and 2.

I agree line will come down NCJ, because I except there will be money on Johnnies at that line, but don't think it'll come down that much barring someone being out. Maybe goes to 10 +/-

I maintain if UCONN is fully healthy they are the 2nd best team in the conference and a 2nd weekend team in the NCAA's.
Sanogo is the key, has to stay healthy.

I have family who are uconn alums so i have been watching the team over the holidays. like others said on the board, due to covid along with injuries to sonogo, uconn has struggled. if they are healthy they are easily the 2nd best team in the conferences. Most of their losses is due to the failure of the team to close out games much like our team. So if st john's can keep it close, they have a shot.

KEEP AN EYE ON
No more gaffes: It's been a tough season for Jalen Gaffney. The junior guard was expected to be a key piece off the bench, backing up R.J. Cole at the point, or maybe even starting at shooting guard. Instead, he's shooting just 36.6% from the floor and turning the ball over too much. He's played just a combined 17 minutes the Huskies' past two games.
"It's an important time for him to step up and step forward and play better," coach Dan Hurley said. "I wouldn't have imagined, going into the year, that he'd be playing 8 or 9 minutes a game here. I would have imagined a much bigger role, based on where we hoped things would be. But, just like this team, he still has the chance to accomplish everything he wants to accomplish. We have so many games left, 17 league games left. So, he can still have the type of year that he wants. But he's got to do it now."
40 minutes of hell?: Under second-year coach Mike Anderson, St. John's likes to ramp up the pressure defense, cause havoc with steals and turnovers, and overall kick up the pace.
"It is a concern," Hurley said. "We don't have a ton of handlers, we don't have a ton of guards that can go by you when the other team is aggressive in passing lanes and trapping. They take you out of a lot of things you're trying to run, so now you're in a situation where we have to be sharp with passing and cutting, and just kind of playing basketball."
That said, although UConn is about middle of the pack in pace-of-play nationally, Hurley is expecting this one to be a "really, really fun game."
"I think our guys are gonna be excited about a game that's gonna be pretty open, and a real players' game," he said.
Stamford Stormer: After spending the past four years at Purdue, Stamford's Aaron Wheeler is now a grad student for the Red Storm. The 6-foot-9 forward is averaging 5.4 points and 3.3 rebounds per game off the bench while shooting 49 percent from the floor. Wheeler, who began his prep career at Trinity Catholic and ended it with a season at Brewster Academy in New Hampshire, matched a career-high with 15 points in the Johnnies' loss on Saturday at Providence.
Icing Champagnie, Posh: St. John's junior forward Julian Champagnie is second in the Big East in scoring at 20.7 points per game and "is an NBA player," Hurley said. Posh Alexander, the league's reigning co-Defensive Player of the Year along with UConn's Isaiah Whaley, is sixth in the Big East in scoring at a 15.8 ppg clip.
"I think you go into the game knowing that you've got to do a great job on Champagnie and Posh," said Hurley, "and it starts there."
