Resistive, infra-red, surface acoustic wave, projected capacitive – with so many "flavours" of touchscreen, how do you know which is the best one for you?
There are various factors to consider when looking for a new touch sensing technology. The type of application, the surrounding environment and the required performance of the system you are designing, will greatly influence the right choice of touch technology. Picking the wrong technology can be disastrous for your kiosk, digital sign or POS terminal, leading to dissatisfied customers and ultimately, damage to your business's reputation.
Location? Will the touchscreen be positioned be indoors or outdoors?
Unattended? Will the touchscreen be at risk of abuse and vandalism?
Environment? What kind of operating conditions will the touchscreen be expected to work in (light, weather, interference, contamination, etc.)?
Size? What is the optimum size for your application and how many customers could be using the touchscreen at any one time?
We'll summarise the most common touch technologies, keeping in mind the factors above, to help you make an informed decision.
Resistive touch was, in its heyday, the most widely used touch technology. A resistive touch sensor is composed of a rear glass or transparent panel and a flexible transparent plastic front screen, the inside surfaces of each covered with a thin metallic coating (usually Indium Tin Oxide, one layer of which has a small measured charge applied) and separated by a narrow air-gap created by tiny glass beads between the layers. When a user pushes the front screen with their fingers or an object, the two metallic layers make contact beneath the touch point, resulting in an electrical flow. The point of contact is detected by this change in voltage as measured and triangulated by the attached touch controller.
Best suited for attended, low cost, and low usage applications, where the possibility for damage is minimal, regular replacement is not an issue, or there is a very high electromagnetic compatibility requirement e.g. certain military (battlefield and surveillance) or critical care medical applications.
Surface Capacitive touch sensors are created by applying an extremely thin transparent conductive layer (usually Indium Tin Oxide) to the surface of a glass panel. A very small, measured charge is applied to this layer. When an exposed finger or conductive stylus touches the screen surface, some of the electrical charge transfers from the screen to the user. This decrease in capacitance is detected by transducers located at the four corners of the screen, allowing the controller to triangulate determine the touch point.
Best suited for attended, indoor applications where longevity is not essential.
Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) touch screens utilize a series of piezoelectric transducers and receivers mounted along the edges of a glass panel to create a continuous ultrasonic wave on the front surface. When the panel is touched, a portion of the wave is absorbed. This allows the transducers (connected to a touch controller) to triangulate and locate the touch point.
Can be activated by finger (gloved or ungloved), or soft-tip stylus.
To allow free movement of acoustic wave the edges of the screen cannot be sealed, and are therefore prone to liquid and contaminants getting into the terminal.
Best suited for indoor use. Despite their high scratch resistance and durability, SAW sensors are not very well suited to outdoor applications. Their functionality can be negatively affected by weather conditions and surface contaminants.
Unlike most other touch technologies, Infra-Red or "IR" touch screens do not require a touch detecting overlay covering the display front. Instead, they use IR emitters and receivers mounted within a (usually plastic) frame, attached to the display bezel. This frame creates an invisible curtain or grid of light beams across the screen, side to side and top to bottom. When any object breaks the infrared curtain, the touch controller determines the touch point based upon the X-Y position of the interrupted signal. Sometimes a protective glass or plastic screen is placed over the display to prevent touches damaging the fragile LCD surface.
This technology is not well suited to unattended, outdoor applications. Performance can be greatly affected by ambient light and weather conditions.IR touch technology is more suitable for supervised, indoor applications, were a large, relatively low-cost touchscreen is required and there is less risk of frame damage/contamination.
It is less susceptible to performance degradation due to wear and tear or scratches, as the detecting layer(s) are embedded behind the front surface and away from potential damage.
It is capable of true multi-touch activation (simultaneous input from more than 2 touch points). In some cases, 40 or more.
A projected capacitive touchscreen is composed of a front panel of transparent material (usually glass) with an X-Y grid of transparent electrodes deposited or laminated to the rear. When a charge is applied to these layers a three-dimensional electrostatic field is created around the touchscreen. As a finger or conductive stylus approaches the screen, there is a capacitive interaction between the contacting object and the sensor, and the touch controller triangulates the touch position within the grid by determining the point of highest change.
Depending on the conductive materials and controller used, maximum sizes can exceed 100" diagonal.
Due to its proven durability and long-term reliability, coupled with total design flexibility, Zytronic's Projected Capacitive technologies (PCT™ and MPCT™) are the ideal solution for a range of commercial applications. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments and unattended, self-service equipment, the technology offers single and multitouch capability in any design and sizes from 5" to over 85". For two decades, Zytronic has been a global leader in Projected Capacitive touch sensing, and continues to advance the technology through patented developments and innovations such as "force" sensing, object recognition and NFC compatibility.

The name 'Activa' comes from the German word 'Aktivum' meaning asset. During our inception in the 80's, the main focus of our business was purchasing 'assets' in the form of land. Then in the 90's, an idea took root to take the land we owned and transform it into vibrant, livable communities. When we began to see happy homeowners moving in to these communities, we decided we wanted to play a bigger role in their journey; so in 2009, we redefined ourselves yet again with the launch of our first condo development.
Today, we are proud to be the Region's largest and most active land developer and home builder, dedicated to creating spaces for families and individuals to thrive, now and for decades to come.

Toronto Pearson Airport to start using AI to detect weapons in 2020
By Shruti Shekar@shruti_shekar
The Toronto Pearson International Airport will soon start using artificial intelligence (AI) to detect weapons.
The Canadian Press reported that the technology can detect metallic and non-metallic weapons that range from guns to knives, and even explosives. The technology is meant to be used in crowded areas.
Vancouver-based Liberty Defence Holdings, the company that owns the technology, will be working with the airport.
Hexwave, the technology, is able to capture radar images and then use AI to analyze the images for any weaponry that could be concealed, CP reported.
The technology will be deployed in 2020, according to the Greater Toronto Airports Authority.
"They were trying something that could give us a more definitive look at weapons and plastic explosives that may be coming into airports," Dwayne MacIntosh, director of corporate safety and security for the authority, told CP. "When I saw this opportunity, I felt that we had to be part of it."
He did not say details of the plans for the project but indicated that it is potentially going to be deployed outside so that the airport to detect threats before entering the building.
The Metro Toronto Convention Centre is also going to be testing the technology at a test site, CP indicated.

Princess of the Stars inquiry may result in criminal prosecution for Sulpicio Lines
Super User_2 | Aug 28, 2008
Manila: Philippine prosecutors may file criminal charges and civil charges against the officers of Sulpicio Lines for negligence resulting in multiple homicide and serious physical injury for the 800 deaths resulting when its 'Princess of the Stars' ferry sank during a typhoon on June 21.
Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez is reported by AFP as saying a special panel of prosecutors was examining an official investigation by the Board of Marine Inquiry that concluded that the ship's captain was at fault for the ferry capsizing. "We are closely studying the Board of Marine Inquiry report and we recommend the filing of criminal charges if the situation warrants," he said.
Sulpicio Lines has been given 30 days to appeal the findings and recommendations of the inquiry, which has concluded that that human error caused the sinking of the passenger ferry. The inquiry has pointed the finger of blame in the direction of missing (and presumed dead) ferry captain Florencio Marimon Sr, said to have miscalculated the risks of the voyage to Cebu at the height of typhoon Frank.
In its findings, the BMI has also held Sulpicio Lines liable for failing to stop its captain from sailing despite bad weather conditions and has recommended the suspension of Sulpicio Lines' franchise
Sulpicio vessels account for about 30% of the country's merchant marine fleet and stopping them from sailing could trigger a shipping shortage, AFP has reported Gonzalez as saying. [28/08/08]


AJDABIA and BREGA, Libya -- The Saturday after U.S. and European air strikes destroyed the tanks Qaddafi had sent to surround Ajdabia, the mood was high among the Libyans who came in from elsewhere to survey the damage in the town. Next to a ravaged tank at the outskirts of the city lay the scorched corpse of one of Qaddafi's soldier. Someone jerked away the blanket covering the fire-blackened skull and carefully placed the insignia, whose two green stripes and wreath-encircled tank identified the man as having been a corporal in the Armed Guardian Unit of the Libyan Jamahiriyya's army, on top of the blanket. A crowd of civilians photographed the sight before jumping on a destroyed tank, one of about 20 littering the road leading to Ajdabia.
Twelve days ago, Ajdabia, the strategic crossroads between the opposition capital of Benghazi and Qaddafi's stronghold in Tripoli, was firmly in rebel hands. Qaddafi hit it with air power and ground troops and took over in a sweep many feared would ultimately extend to Benghazi. Now the streets of the once-thriving town of some 150,000 residents are largely empty, save for a few men strolling who, one Libyan from Benghazi noted, were suspiciously clad in sweatpants with the logo of the Tripoli football club. "Who would wear that here? We're in Benghazi football club territory," said 26-year-old Mohammed Benghouzzi.
I first encountered the rebel soldiers in their native habitat -- along the desert highway connecting Benghazi to Tripoli -- after their first big victory against Qaddafi's forces, which they had driven them out of Brega on March second. Their mood was triumphant; they had shocked even themselves with their success.
By March 26, the soldiers had just regained control of Ajdabia and Brega as well -- mainly as a result of the air strikes that had begun at midnight. Field-trippers from Benghazi, who came to inspect the damage, verify the town's status, or look for loved ones, far outnumbered the soldiers, whose mood was more dazed than festive.
"We knew the air strikes were coming because we heard the planes," said Mamdoh Khalifa, a 27-year-old Egyptian refrigeration technician who illegally crossed the border into Libya "to fight Qaddafi and seek martyrdom." Khalifa said that he and his fellow soldiers had been 20 kilometers north of Ajdabia the night before. "At midnight we hard the bombs, and at one a.m. we took the city." After hearing the air strikes, they returned to Ajdabia. "No one gave us the command to go," said Khalifa. "Our command structure is not clear. We don't wait for orders."
"We thank the coalition forces," said Wa'il Musa Mohammed, 25 years old and a seven-year veteran of Qaddafi's army before he joined the rebels, clasping his hands together. "Qaddafi killed our brothers -- he is a criminal." Gesturing toward a single-story concrete building, whose green and white striped walls were riddled with bullet holes, Mohammed said, "They were here yesterday." A few mattresses were thrown on the floor next to some dull-colored blankets and empty soda cans.
Ajdabia's western gate opens the road to Brega and, some 700 kilometers further, Tripoli. After air strikes cleared Ajdabia's access points from the tanks that had been planted there for at least three days, rebels moved ahead to Brega. I traveled with them.
The road was clear almost to Brega, until, as we neared the city, hundreds of vehicles shot down the highway back towards Ajdabia, honking furiously and stirring up the desert sands. Reports of a car accident followed the delivery of three living, one almost surely not, in truck flatbeds.
Nasib Daow, an engineer from Benghazi, said he came to Brega with his two sons to fight. His keffiyeh was tied neatly around his head and he grasped his Kalashnikov with ease, a soldier with a dignified trace of a Scottish accent, a token of his studies in Perth. "It's Qaddafi's fault that everybody thinks every Libyan has a bomb in his pocket. We want freedom and democracy, we want to be loved by the whole world."
"Look at this," Daow said. "They don't even hit the asphalt. We thank everyone very much for the air support. They saved a lot of civilian lives. We don't need foreign troops though. We don't have to be Iraq and Afghanistan. In the future, we can be friends in trade and technology, through companies."
Mainly on account of Qaddafi's violent crackdown by land and sky, Brega itself was a dark and rubbled ghost town, with electricity out and reportedly water as well. The few cars left on the streets were burned out. Soldiers wandered the streets, advising that the front line was some 6 kilometers outside the town limits, and that it was too late to go there.
The next day, rebel soldiers arrived at Ras Lanouf and, with continuous air cover, pushed on past Bin Jawwad to a point about 120 kilometers outside of Sirte. With a population of 150,000, Sirte is the last major settlement between the rebels' front line and the west they hope to liberate. It is also Qaddafi's hometown and a place where tribal politics, ancient alliances and enmities, are likely to play a significant role in the fate of the city. As rebels hover in the desert, pondering a strategy for taking Sirte, the U.S. and European air cover might not be as helpful as it was in, for example, Ajdabia. Sirte is the first town the rebels will assault that may not be predisposed to supporting the revolutionaries. If and when they arrive, their biggest challenges may be political, not military.
Said Marai El-Mutardi, a 30-year-old petroleum engineer working in the Congo whose visit home to Benghazi took an unexpected turn five weeks ago, said, "We think Sirte will be taken from within. It's very complicated there with the tribes -- let them work it out, maybe we take the desert road around Sirte and go join the revolutionaries in Misrata."
On March 23, before the air strikes on Ajdabia began, Rashid El-Qaddari had rested pensively against a banged-up white sedan on the highway 12 kilometers north of town. El-Qaddari, a master's student in history at Benghazi's Gar Younis University, was thinking of his brother in Ajdabia, who he had not talked to in four days. "We want air strikes, but the tanks are in between buildings. They're using human shields. They're negotiating a surrender now with a civilian inside the city. I don't know who it is," said El-Qaddari. "Unless there are civilian casualties, we prefer air strikes to negotiated surrender -- it simplifies the operation."
El-Qaddari got his air strikes, and the rebels got Ajdabia. But Sirte, their new focus, may not be as easy. As the rebels move west, closer to Qaddafi's center of power, they will encounter similar challenges.Now they must count on the internal politics in contested towns to shift in their favor. "Qaddafi's support is breaking. With continued air strikes, we can get to Tripoli," said Daow.

Carl Leopold Goldschmidt (* 8. April 1787 in Frankfurt am Main; † 21. März 1858 ebenda) war ein Politiker der Freien Stadt Frankfurt.

Leben
Goldschmidt entstammte dem Zweig Goldschmidt-Kassel der angesehenen Familie Goldschmidt, die im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert Bankiers und Großkaufleute hervorgebracht hatte. Er studierte Rechtswissenschaften und war im Großherzogtum Frankfurt eines der ersten Mitglieder der jüdischen Gemeinde, die zur Advokatur zugelassen wurden.

Auch war Goldschmidt Freimaurer. Der Ordensobere und dänische Statthalter der Herzogtümer Schleswig und Holstein, Landgraf Karl von Hessen-Kassel, hatte in Gottorp zuvor nur die christlichen Freimaurer empfangen. Als Goldschmidt im Juni 1816 zum Meister vom Stuhl der Frankfurter Loge gewählt wurde, heftete Franz Joseph Molitor im Auftrag des Landgrafen die Schließungsurkunde an die Tür des Tempels. Die Loge zur aufgehenden Morgenröthe in Frankfurt am Main wurde am 12. Juni 1808 von der Loge les amis réunis zu Mainz, unter Autorität des Großen Orients von Frankreich gestiftet und bestand aus Mitgliedern israelitischen Glaubens. Der Londoner Großmeister, August Friedrich, Herzog von Sussex, erteilte ihr ein unterm 30. April 1817 ausgestelltes Konstitutionspatent, welches die Logenbrüder Carl Leopold Goldschmidt, Siegmund Geisenheimer und Johann Gerson als die ersten Logenmeister und Aufseher einsetzte.

Goldschmidt war ein Autor der Zeitschrift Sulamith. 1842 gehörte Goldschmidt gemeinsam mit Theodor Creizenach als radikaler Anhänger der jüdischen Reformbewegung zu den Mitbegründern des liberalen Frankfurter Jüdischen Reformvereins.

Am 9. September 1848 wurde ihm das Ritterkreuz des Großherzoglich Hessischen Verdienstordens verliehen.
Am 25. Oktober 1848 wurde er in die Constituierende Versammlung der Freien Stadt Frankfurt gewählt. Er vertrat dort liberale Positionen.

1852 wohnte er in der Schützenstraße 8 im klassizistischen Fischerfeldviertel. 1857 gehörte Goldschmidt als eines von vier zugelassen jüdischen Mitgliedern dem Gesetzgebenden Körper an.

Goldschmidt war Gemäldesammler und namentlich in niederländischen Bildern ein Kenner. Dass er Inhaber fürstlicher Orden war, blieb selbst seinen näheren Freunden unbekannt, da er sie niemals anlegte. Zu seinen Freunden, dem er in Rechtsfragen auch als Berater diente, gehörte der aus Frankfurt stammende Journalist Ludwig Börne.

Tooth tattoo trend puts Suburban Dental Lab in national spotlight
What do champagne glasses, dogs, stars, spiders, and Corvettes have in common? They're all tooth tattoos that have been created by the lab techs and artists at Suburban Dental Laboratory in Connecticut, a 59-year-old family-owned business that never envisioned itself at the forefront of tooth art, but is loving the challenge and attention it has brought the lab.
Suburban Dental Lab owner Steve Canter, CDT, explained that gold work was the most requested specialty the lab had back in the '50s and '60s. "Initials, champagne glasses, stars, and half moons are just a few examples of the kinds of images we made for our clients," he said. "Most were white images on gold crowns."
That all changed in 1995. "We received a request from the editor of 'Vette Views' magazine to create a picture of a 1957 Corvette on her tooth," Steve said. "We loved the idea and were excited to accept the challenge. It came out exactly how she envisioned it, and she was very pleased."
That was the start of the current tooth tattoo art craze at Suburban Dental Lab, where they accept every challenge, and enjoy the surprises that clients come up with.
"Most of the clients requesting tattoos are middle aged, and I've noticed over the years that the tattoos they pick are quite personal to them," Steve said. "We have done everything from children's names, dogs (which are the most popular), sports team logos, flowers, beach scenes, and believe it or not, insects and fish. All someone has to do is provide us with a picture and we take it from there."
Steve says he feels fortunate that Suburban has two very qualified ceramists who prepare the tattoos, and one of them holds a fine arts degree. The images are hand painted on the crown with stains.
It's a bit of a complex process. The stains are built in layers until the final picture is achieved. Once a tattoo is complete, the crown is baked to set the tattoo. Some can be done quickly and others can take hours to finish, it depends on how detailed the picture is.
"My ceramist says he enjoys doing tattoos for the 'wow' factor," Steve said. "We hear everything from 'That's disgusting' to 'That's so cool. Where do I get one?' We try to be as creative as possible, whether we're doing a CAD/CAM implant structure or an e.max crown with a picture on it."
Most tattoos handled at Suburban are done on bicuspids and molars. "I'm just waiting for someone to want one on their anterior teeth," Steve said with a laugh. "The tattoos will last many, many years, as long as a client does not put any abrasives on them. In fact, I've never heard of one coming off. We have many satisfied customers out there."
A local TV station ran a segment about the tattoos created at Suburban. The staff found out later that it had also aired on affiliate stations across the country. Julia Banbridge from Yahoo! food also did a piece on the tattoos.
"The attention has been very exciting for us, and we've gotten many more requests for tattoos since," Steve said.

Township in Aspatria parish, Allerdale below Derwent ward, Cumberland.
2,194 acres [888 ha] before boundary changes 1934, when 139 acres [56 ha] gained from Aspatria & Brayton CP, and 57acres [23 ha] from Hayton & Mealo CP, while smaller acreages were lost to them. Common field, Oughterside Townfield (295 acres [119 ha]) enclosed 1776 and Aspatria West Moor (part of which lay in township) enclosed 1825.
manor of Oughterside held by Orfeur family before passing to Lawsons of Brayton and Isel in 18th century. Manor of Allerby acquired by Thomas Porter of Bolton by marriage with heiress of Thomas Lowther of Allerby, probably in 15th century; passed by widow of their descendant Thomas Porter (living 1578) to Eaglesfield family, from whom it was bought by Lamplughs of Dovenby in late 17th century.
farming. Coal mining, recorded by 1681, expanded after building of Maryport & Carlisle railway in 1840s; in decline by 1900. Oughterside Colliery closed 1943 but opencast mining stripped out remaining deposits in 1970s-80s. Red sandstone quarries in late 19th century.
Primitive Methodist chapel at Prospect built 1860; closed 1980s. Congregationalists met in schoolroom 1851.
school at Oughterside founded by Sir Wilfred Lawson before 1850; rebuilt as Board school 1875; enlarged 1896; now Oughterside Foundation School. Oughterside and Prospect village hall, at Prospect, built c.1964.

Pecan pie with real whipped cream has little nutritional value, but it makes my family happy and I've made the same recipe for the past 30 Thanksgiving feasts. An added pleasure is to see the joy on my granddaughter's face as she licks the beaters, just as her mother did decades ago.
I use Dear Abby's Pecan Pie recipe with real whipped cream. If you're going to blow 3,254 calories on a pie, you might as well top it off with the good stuff. Besides, have you read the ingredients found in the most popular frozen whipped topping?
Cool Whip Original is made of water, hydrogenated vegetable oil, high fructose corn syrup, skimmed milk, light cream, sodium caseinate, natural and artificial flavors, xanthan, guar gums, polysorbate 60, sorbitan monostearate, and beta carotene. The aerosol version also contains nitrous oxide as a propellant. Why would you want to give this to your family?
For perfect whipped cream, all you need is a carton of whipping cream, a splash of real vanilla, some real sugar, and a mixer. Refrigerate a metal bowl for a few hours and then whip the cream for several minutes with the mixer. As you mix, add the vanilla and sugar. Beat until it's thick enough to smother a piece of pie and then give the beaters to the kids and watch their happy faces. And, there's not a lick of sorbitan monostearate to be found!
One pie shell for 9" pie – make your own or find one in your grocer's refrigerated section.
Sprinkle both sides of pie dough with a bit of flour and place in a 9" pie pan. Cover edges with foil so they won't burn. Bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees, removing foil 10 after 35 minutes.
Cool and serve with real whipped cream.
Combine 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/3 cup oil. Mix with fork until crumbly. Add 2 tablespoons ice-cold water. Mix lightly. Form into a ball and roll out on waxed paper. Lift paper over pie pan, make fluted edge, fill, and bake. To bake unfilled, prick bottom of crust and bake 450 degrees for 10 minutes.
This Thanksgiving season, I'm grateful that my family came together to share laughter, hugs, and good food. We continued important traditions for our children and their children, and we ended the festivities with pecan pie and whipped cream. Now, I have a year to work off the calories so we can do it all over again. Just keeping it real.
A couple fats to ease your guilt…slightly. Pecans are high in a few trace mineral, that outside a multivitamin, are hard to get and even though they are very high in fat, they are "good" fats ones that help raise good cholesterol and lower bad cholesterol. Feel better? Me either but it was worth a shot!
Real whipped cream. Yes. There's nothing like it. a little frisson of vanilla added? Yes. Perfect with pecan pie. Or anything really. Except pizza. Not with pizza.
I made 20 + pecan pies in two days so I know my recipe by heart. Nothing better than a dollop of whipped cream on top. Same for the pumpkin pie.

In 2014, Dananjaya Hettiarachchi became the Toastmasters International public speaking world champion. He now travels the world as a motivational speaker and coach, helping others find that something special inside.
But it wasn't always this way. By 17, he had flunked high school and been arrested.
How do you go from rudderless youth to world champion?
I spoke to Dananjaya about his journey and about the mantras that bring the best out of himself and others.
'Everything in life that is moving is fearless.' How do we start moving again when we've become still?
It's important to understand the forces that will prompt you to shift. Any object in rest needs a force to trigger movement, and you must identify the forces that will give you that little push.
When I look at myself, I realise I am extrinsically motivated. I consciously surround myself with people I want to live up to and, in turn, who hold me to a high standard. My urge to move comes from that.
My closest circle is made of people I don't want to disappoint, and when I lose momentum I always get a nudge from my immediate 'ecosystem'.
If you are intrinsically motivated, go back to why you started your journey of excellence. Remember the vigour, the vitality, and the energy you had at the start. Let that feeling generate the momentum you need.
You must also get close to the result you want to achieve. Unless you smell, feel, and touch the result you need to achieve on a constant basis, it's easy to lose the drive needed to achieve it.
When I was competing for the WCPS, I went to see it live every year whether I had been chosen for the semi final or not. I saw the result I wanted to achieve in front of my eyes. That desire, that push, came back to me.
It's when people begin to see the possibilities of their future potential. We all have different fates and destinies in life, and as a coach you can't guarantee success. Nobody can.
But you can help people connect with a higher self, a better version of themselves. Once they are able to see that, they can reach one inch more than they thought they could. Then they keep reaching till they achieve their vision of success.
The biggest reward is to help the people I meet see something in themselves that they have turned a blind eye to. To ignite that spark into a fire, to set in motion a small change that can create big results for the people I coach.
'Surround yourself with people who give you courage and make you feel rich.' How do we assess our relationships?
I have trained myself to become aware of the limited time I have left on this earth. No matter how hard you pray for it, nobody can give you back the 24 hours that just went by.
If the relationships you have are creating a negative impact, it's time to burn those bridges. These relationships make us focus our energy in the wrong places – on doubt, pressure, and stress.
1) It isn't a burden on you. A good relationship is not weight you carry, it's a release. It is a place where you go to unburden yourself. Take conscious steps towards controlling the time and energy you invest into relationships that burden you.
2) It helps you discover the truth. Positive relationships give you an honest opinion about why you are where you are. They don't try to please you. They say it as it is. They help you reflect and realise that, in any situation, you can only influence the things that are within your control.
3) It doesn't expect anything in return. None of the people who have helped me have ever asked for anything in return. I don't feel obligated. In an honest and positive relationship, there is no pressure, and when you help others you too will have no expectations.
'People need to buy into you before they buy into your product or service.' What's the cornerstone of trust?
Trust has four cornerstones. If you possess these four fundamental elements in your character you can build trust with people that matter, people with a higher state of being than you.
1) Consistency in your behaviour and your commitments. I competed for 10 years, and I was consistent in competing. So when people dedicated their valuable time to coaching me, they knew I would show up next year. This built trust and meant they were more willing to guide me.
2) Humility disarms people and allows them to bond with you. Simplicity is a key feature of humility. Being simple and humble go hand in hand with trust. It's difficult to form a relationship with a person who has an over inflated ego.
3) Empathy. Having the sensitivity to move through the emotional ups and downs in a relationship is a key pillar of trust. When you are not emotionally sensitive you often do things that inadvertently hurt the person you are trying to build a relationship with.
4) Vulnerability. A perfect version of yourself may be admired – but always at a distance. Showing your weak side allows individuals to connect with you because they too may have the same vulnerabilities.
'Everybody has a story to tell, and that story can have a positive impact on the lives of many.' Which stories inspire you?
I think every human story has one fundamental common element: struggle. A struggle to make tomorrow better than today, for themselves as well as their loved ones. This inspires me. I believe it is through struggle that we are able to discover and define ourselves.
I am inspired by individuals who look at struggle in a positive way. They see it as a process by which they will unearth the skills, talents, and truths needed to achieve success.
You need a tremendous amount of courage and acceptance to look at life that way, to persevere even in the hardest of times with a positive mindset.
'We fear the improbability of achieving our vision of success.' Why do we see things in others but doubt ourselves?
Fear and self-doubt are very important in your journey of success. These are internal compass readings that tell you to start moving. The trick is to manage the emotion and act on the signal your internal compass is giving you.
I often doubted myself when I was competing, but then I went a step further and asked myself, 'Do I lack a specific piece of knowledge or a skill that's creating this self-doubt?' Asking that question eventually helped me become more knowledgeable about my area of expertise.
As soon as that happens, the self-doubt disappears. You have self-doubt and fear because life is telling you that you need to learn something in order to become more certain.
We are able to see things in others because we can empathise with their success. We desire the same thing. But what holds us back is our inability to act on our feelings of fear and self-doubt.
Some simply succumb to those feelings and just 'wait it out', convincing themselves they will never discover the knowledge and skills needed to achieve their vision of success.
You only have to do one simple thing: just ask.
Ask people for help, ask for advice, and ask how you could be better than you are now.
Whenever I saw an awesome speaker I admired and who made me doubt my ability, I walked up to him and asked, 'How did you just do that?' Believe me, I've learnt so much by just asking.
Sometimes I've had to invest to get that knowledge. But what's important is that I am acting on the fear, acting on my self-doubt, and not succumbing to it.
You talk about the people who influenced you to change your ways. Who gives you courage now?
Earlier in my life, I had no courage. I didn't know what courage was. I was bold, rebellious, arrogant – but not courageous. I only understood what courage was much later in life.
At that stage of my life I just had nothing to lose, I was a drifter going where the wind took me. I was like a wounded soldier, a rebel without a cause.
But even though I was lost and broken, I always knew what type of man I wanted to become. I didn't know what type of job or profession I wanted to have – but I always knew I wanted to become great.
So I was on a search for that greatness. I wanted to prove the people around me wrong. I wanted to show my parents that I was worth it. I wanted to show myself that I have some sort of worth.
It was a mixed bag of emotions that pushed me forward – but it was not courage. Courage is what propels me now, to keep going forward into the world inch by inch when I could just sit back, kick off my shoes, relax and settle for mediocrity.
My son and my wife give me courage. Every time I look into their eyes I know that everything is possible. They are the source of quiet energy that helps me refine myself 1% at a time.
What can a nervous speaker do to create the momentum they need?
The best recommendation I can give you is to join the Toastmasters programme. Get the basics you need from this programme and then you can build on this.
1) A specific domain and area of knowledge that you have credibility in. You need to start investing in your field of expertise to increase your visibility and credibility as an opinion leader or subject expert.
2) At the same time, work on your craft of speaking. This is where you can obtain the basics from Toastmasters, then move on to more specialised coaching. Overcome your nervousness by acquiring the right knowledge and mentoring.
Finally, what excites you about 2016?
I think 2016 is a going to be a defining year for me. I will be speaking at the Rotary International Convention, which will be my largest audience – 10,000 or more. And I have many other engagements that will test my limits and capabilities like never before.
Am I nervous? Yes! Am I doing something about my nervousness? Yes! I am surrounding myself with people that can get me closer to my next destination. And I'm investing time and energy to grow my skills and capabilities, which will help me achieve my vision of success.

Morehouse College Honors 3 Valedictorians In Historic Commencement
Three men—one White—achieved a perfect GPA at the historically Black college.
Nigel Roberts
Sunday's 132nd commencement at Morehouse College in Atlanta was unlike any other at the historically Black college.
Three men, each achieving a perfect 4.0 grade point average, shared valedictorian honors, the Morehouse NewsCenter announced.
"The honoring of three of our graduating seniors jointly as valedictorian serves as one proud and significant example of Morehouse College's commitment to academic excellence — which also ties to one of the College's strategic focuses of acuity," said John Silvanus Wilson Jr., president of Morehouse College, in a statement.
Not 1, not 2, but 3 valedictorians became @Morehouse Men today. Now that's Acuity! #MorehouseCommencement16 pic.twitter.com/fjDx7lRluQ
— Morehouse SGA (@MorehouseSGA) May 15, 2016
Ian Niemeyer is the member of the trio getting most of the attention because he's White. The 22-year-old Durham, NC native told the NewsCenter that he decided to join his childhood best friend at the renowned Black college. He's an economics major who works as an investment analyst for Prudential Capital Group. His ultimate plan is to start his own investment firm.
Also graduating with an economics degree, Willie J. Thompson minored in Chinese studies, and he will go to Taiwan as a Fulbright Scholar. Thompson, 22, grew up in Griffin, Ga. and plans to work for The Bridgespan Group in Boston, the NewsCenter said.
Rounding out the trio of top scholars, Liam R. Davis is a native of Nassau, Bahamas, who majored in business administration with a concentration in accounting. Davis, 22, plans to become prime minister of the Bahamas one day. His next step toward that goal is to earn a master's in accounting from Wake Forest University.

Both gold and silver have been time tested safe havens for the preservation of buying power and wealth. The $800 per once prices of gold back in the 1980's do not seem that high today, and not many people would have ever speculated that silver would top $40 per ounce. With such increases in prices people are buying these precious metals to preserve their fortunes and many people bury gold to keep it safe from thieves and the forces of nature.
It is not enough to wrap 10 or 12 Double Eagle gold coins in clear tape and dig a hole in your backyard, you need a comprehensive plan to bury gold and other valuable you may have and this needs to be a plan where it is not only safe, but you will have an almost instantaneous access to it the second you want. Where to hide money at home becomes very important.
A big metal home safe buried on its back 3 feet below your roses may sound like a solution and it certainly sounds like it is safe. Access would be a bit of a problem though. After digging down 4 or five times to add or retrieve an item would be enough for someone to abandon that thing where it sat (after you empty it of course).
The answer to this problem is to use a safe box specifically designed to protect your valuables underground; small hidden safes. Not just your gold, there are other valuables you probably have needing to be protected from criminals and the forces of nature.
A very strong in home safe is often thought of as the best solution for storing valuables, but if someone knows you have a large safe they can force you to open it or if you leave for an extended period of time they will eventually open it. There are even cases where burglars have just stolen the safe itself; even 2,000 pound gun safes.
When it comes to nature, the tsunamis that hit Japan washed thousands of safes out of their houses and if a tornado will pick up an 18 wheeler you know it can relocate a safe at will. Don't even try to imagine what a tornado would do to a wall safe the shape of a serving tray.
In ground safes are the only way to bury gold and keep it safe; safe from the thieves and also safe from natural disasters.
The beauty of using an underground safe located on your property is that you can easily add or remove items in the safe at will or you can even have more than one safe for different purposes. Maybe one safe is for documents and photos while another is only to bury gold or silver.
Because of the affordability of these underground safes, many people will have more than one specifically based on access. Although accessible within a few minutes an underground safe with personal documents like wills or property titles will be accessed rarely and just left alone.

People with schizophrenia may benefit from efforts once symptoms are stabilized. The indications of schizophrenia allow it to be tricky to operate in daily life. Because of this, if you believe that you (or somebody you know) may have signs and symptoms suggestive of schizophrenia, consult a psychiatrist after possible.

If it begins, realize that many of the medications will probably cause the individual to need more sleep. Schizophrenia treatment that is successful depends upon a mixture of factors.
Recovery differs for each and every individual. From phenomenological perspective, it's understood concerning the subjective and one of a kind experience of a person or family. Depending on the severity of the schizophrenia, it may involve hospitalization and other treatment options.
Having an illness like schizophrenia, recovery doesn't mean that you're certain to be symptom-free for the remainder of your life. It's not a process. It doesn't imply as that's not a possibility schizophrenia is treated. Recovery from catatonic schizophrenia is a process which is long lasting.

Mouse model of OPRM1 (A118G) polymorphism has altered hippocampal function
Stephen D. Mague, Russell G. Port, Michael E. McMullen, Greg C. Carlson, Jill R. Turner
A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the human μ-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1 A118G) has been widely studied for its association in a variety of drug addiction and pain sensitivity phenotypes; however, the extent of these adaptations and the mechanisms underlying these associations remain elusive. To clarify the functional mechanisms linking the OPRM1 A118G SNP to altered phenotypes, we used a mouse model possessing the equivalent nucleotide/amino acid substitution in the Oprm1 gene. In order to investigate the impact of this SNP on circuit function, we used voltage-sensitive dye imaging in hippocampal slices and in vivo electroencephalogram recordings of the hippocampus following MOPR activation. As the hippocampus contains excitatory pyramidal cells whose activity is highly regulated by a dense network of inhibitory neurons, it serves as an ideal structure to evaluate how putative receptor function abnormalities may influence circuit activity. We found that MOPR activation increased excitatory responses in wild-type animals, an effect that was significantly reduced in animals possessing the Oprm1 SNP. Furthermore, in order to assess the in vivo effects of this SNP during MOPR activation, EEG recordings of hippocampal activity following morphine administration corroborated a loss-of-function phenotype. In conclusion, as these mice have been shown to have similar MOPR expression in the hippocampus between genotypes, these data suggest that the MOPR A118G SNP results in a loss of receptor function.

Origin: Cordell, Kentucky, United States
Born: 18 July 1954
Follow Ricky Skaggs on
Rickie Lee Skaggs, known professionally as Ricky Skaggs, is an American country and bluegrass singer, musician, producer, and composer. He primarily plays mandolin; however, he also plays fiddle, guitar, mandocaster and banjo.
Skaggs was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2018.
Skaggs was born in Cordell, Kentucky. He started playing music at age 5 after he was given a mandolin by his father, Hobert. At age 6, he played mandolin and sang on stage with Bill Monroe. At age 7, he appeared on television's Martha White country music variety show, playing with Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. He also wanted to audition for the Grand Ole Opry at that time, but was told he was too young.
In his mid-teens, Skaggs met a fellow teen guitarist, Keith Whitley, and the two started playing together with Whitley's banjoist brother Dwight on radio shows. By 1970, they had earned a spot opening for Ralph Stanley and Skaggs and Keith Whitley were thereafter invited to join Stanley's band, the Clinch Mountain Boys.
Skaggs later joined The Country Gentlemen in Washington, DC, J. D. Crowe's New South. In 1976, Skaggs formed progressive bluegrass band Boone Creek, including members Vince Gill and Jerry Douglas. For a few years, Skaggs was a member of Emmylou Harris's Hot Band. He wrote the arrangements for Harris's 1980 bluegrass-roots album, Roses in the Snow. In addition to arranging for Harris, Skaggs sang harmony and played mandolin and fiddle in the Hot Band.
