This week was the kickoff of the BPM Open House event online.
While I posted earlier that there were a number of reasons to attend, the biggest was to enjoy the overview and live demo given of JBoss BPM Suite on both local and bpmPaaS on OpenShift.
Before we give you the promised resources, a short recap of the event and our sessions.
We delivered our session live before a worldwide audience and opened with the following by Luis Cortes.
BPM is no longer only about improving efficiency and productivity. According to leading analysts, 85% of organizations report that their primary objective for BPM is achieving faster growth and improved capabilities for change. Meanwhile, where once traditional BPM systems were too expensive and too complex for mid-sized businesses to setup and use now because of cloud computing BPM is becoming more accessible to a much larger audience.
So how can Business Process Management help your business quickly adapt to changing business requirements?
There was then a live demo session where I walked through the various aspects of a financial project showcasing rules, events and BPM. Finally I showcased the same project in bpmPaaS, a cloud deployed JBoss BPM Suite. It was all based on the following outline.
Looking for improved business agility, operational efficiency and time to market? This demonstration, focusing on a loan origination scenario, will take you through how you can quickly model, simulate, test, deploy and improve a working example using JBoss BPM Suite's web-based tools. JBoss BPM Suite is an open source business process and decision management platform that enables users to capture business policies and procedures, accelerate application development and automate business operations across physical, virtual, mobile and cloud environments.
We promised four resources that were not to be missed at the BPM Openhouse.
There is a new and interesting Java based conference that is gaining in popularity rather quickly.
It is called JavaLand and in 2015 it will be hosted on March 24-25th in Phantasialand, a theme park with great facilities located in Germany.
I am interested in bringing to you a full immersion experience with hands on workshops for xPaaS, rules, events and BPM. We will build all things cloudy and BPM enabled if these submissions are accepted.
You have to admit, the location is pretty special so hope to join everyone with the following lab based workshops.
Ready to add something new to your development toolbox?
With this workshop you get a chance to do just that, unlock the power of business rules engines and business processing for your development projects. We will take you through it all step-by-step, building rules, domain specific languages, events and BPM to create a real life project of your choosing. Choose from an online web shopping cart experience or an HR employee awards approval process, it's all up to you.
This is a hands on session that takes you from zero to a fully working project based on JBoss open source software. An extra bonus will be an option to run your project on a real life PaaS experience as provided by OpenShift. No time like the present to accelerate your projects into the Cloud!
A fantastic webinar is being hosted this week on JBoss Business Resource Optimizer, a tool used to ease the planning of your business resources.
The tour will be given by none other than Geoffrey De Smet, senior software engineer and OptaPlanner community project lead at Red Hat together with Phil Simpson, principal product marketing manager at Red Hat.
Geoffrey has vast experience at modeling, solving, creating and executing optimization tooling for these complex problems. You don't want to miss a chance to hear him expound on the various aspects and challenges that they are able to meet for your business.
Be sure to register before the event, to be held on Wednesday, 24 Sep 2014 at 11:00 ET (11AM ET) / 17:00 CET (Paris).
The world is full of planning problems—scheduling employee shifts, assigning delivery cars to routes, scheduling classrooms for course exams, and assigning manufacturing tasks to machines—just to name a few. Each of these problems can have dozens, or even hundreds, of interconnected constraints.
Solving such problems optimally is key to your business success. The technology and knowledge to do so has been available almost exclusively to large enterprises. Until now.
Powerful—yet accessible and easy to use—tools are now available to help any size enterprise optimize business resource planning.
When to choose heuristic or metaheuristic optimization algorithms.
How to overcome scalability challenges.
How to quickly solve a wide range of common planning problems using the OptaPlanner planning engine and advanced rules engine functionality in Red Hat JBoss BRMS.
This episode of tips and tricks will help you to understand the best way to initiate your process instances for your needs.
Planning your projects might include process projects, but have you thought about the various ways that you can initiate your process?
Maybe you have JBoss BPM Suite running locally in your architecture, maybe you have it running in the Cloud, but wherever it is you will still need to make an informed choice about how to initiate a process.
Build & Deploy button top right.
In the interest of completeness we have to mention the ability to start a process instance exists in the form of a button within JBoss BPM Suite dashboard tooling.
When logged into JBoss BPM Suite and you have finished project development, your BPM project can then be built and deployed as follows.
The next step is to start a process instance in the process management perspective in one of two ways.
Process definitions has start icon in right corner.
Both of these methods will result in a process instance being started, popping up a start form if data is to be submitted to the BPM process.
Assuming you are going to be calling for a start of your BPM process after deployment from various possible locations we wanted to show you how these might be easily integrated.
Details view of process definition has 'New Instance' button.
It does not matter if you are starting a process from a web application, a mobile application or creating backend services for your enterprise to use as a starting point for processes. The exposed RestAPI provides the perfect way to trigger your BPM process and can be show in the following code example.
This example is a very simple Rest client that, for clarity, will be embedding the various variables one might pass to such a client directly into the example code. There are no variables passed to the process being started, for that we will provide a more complete example in the section covering a client application.
It sends a start process command and expects no feedback from the Customer Evaluation BPM process being called, as it is a Straight Through Process (STP).
// start a process instance with no variables.
* Start a process using the rest api start call, no map variables passed.
The basics here are the setup of the business central URL to point to the start RestAPI call. In the main method one finds a method call to startProcess() which builds the RestAPI URL and captures the data reply sent from JBoss BPM Suite.
To see the details of how that is accomplished, please refer to the class in its entirety within the JBoss BPM Suite and JBoss Fuse Integration Demo project.
An easy way to test your process once it has been built and deployed is to use curl to push a request to the process via the RestAPI. Such a request looks like the following, first in generic form and then a real run through the same Customer Evaluation project as used in the previous example.
For the Customer Evaluation process a full cycle of using curl to call the start process, authenticating our user and receiving a response from JBoss BPM Suite should provide the following output.
Enter host password for user 'erics':  bpmsuite1!
Results of our testing with curl.
We see the process instances complete in the process instance perspectives as shown.
The third and final way to start your JBoss BPM Suite process instances is more in line with injecting a bunch of pre-defined submissions to populate both the reporting history and could be based on historical data.
The example shown here is available in most demo projects we provide but is taken from the Mortgage Demo project.
This demo client is using static lines of data to be injected into the process one at a time. With a few minor adjustments one could pull in historical data from an existing data source and inject as many processes as desired in this format. It also is a nice way to stress test your process projects.
We will skip the setup of the session and process details as these have been shown above, but provide instead a link to the entire demo client class and leave these details for the reader to pursue.
Here we will just focus on how the individual start process calls will look.
As you can see the last line is where the individual mortgage submission is pushed to JBoss BPM Suite. If you examine the rest of the class you will find multiple entries being started one after another.
We hope you now have a good understanding of the ways you can initiate a process and choose the one that best suits your project needs.
In this article we wanted to share another configuration property that can provide surprising help when setting up your JBoss BPM Suite.
Previously we outlined a basic set of configuration properties to provide you with a few tricks when installing your own JBoss BRMS or JBoss BPM Suite products.
As the JBoss BPM Suite is a super set, including full JBoss BRMS functionality, the rest of this article will refer only to JBoss BPM Suite but apply to both products.
In this article we will show you how to modify your JBoss EAP container configuration to point the products at a custom deployment repository by adjusting a single configuration property.
The default setup is that the products will look for your maven setting in the default settings.xml as found set in the M2_HOME variable or in the users home directory at .m2/settings.xml.
The following system property can be added to JBoss EAP standalone.xml configuration file to point to any file containing your custom settings.
Location of the maven configuration file where it can find it's settings.
It should also be mentioned that by taking control of the settings for your remote deployment repository you also now have control over the (remote) repositories from which you pull your dependencies. For example, we can now point to repositories within your enterprise to provide JBoss BPM Suite with existing data models.
When initially setting up the product for use on JBoss EAP containers, one can adjust configuration with the help of system properties.
We hope this helps you with configuring your own custom deployment repositories and enables you to tie into existing continuous integration infrastructures that might exist in your organization.
There is nothing like seeing the results of a good project come to the screen when you run it the first time.
This is also the case for those of you that have been following along with the online BPM workshop series that has been published here over the last few months.
With the final week and lab completed you are ready to build, deploy and run through the HR Employee Rewards process to see how it all looks.
In case you missed this series, we proved some of the links to get you started.
The first series of labs (1-10) focuses on JBoss BRMS and building rules, events, and ruleflow artifacts to launch your very own online retail Cool Store.
The second series of labs (11-17) puts you through the paces of creating an HR Employee Rewards process.
Yesterday evening in Peru timezone and middle of the wee hours of the morning for me here in Europe, we held a BPM workshop online for the Peru JUG.
This is the second continent where we have toured with our online BPM workshop series, next week we take it on the road on the east coast of North America.
If you would like to have this workshop series stop in at your local event, just let me know as I am happy to bring rules, events and BPM to your area.
This week we bring you a new demo project to highlight the integration possibilities between Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite and Red Hat JBoss Fuse products.
These products are used to get you started integrating your BPM projects with your Apache Camel architecture in minutes.
This initial announcement provides an automated installation (repeatable) in minutes where you get JBoss BPM Suite running on an instance of JBoss EAP and a separate instance of JBoss Fuse in its very own Karaf container.
There are plans to expand this demo project with various integration scenarios or use cases, but for now we start with just a single story around using a JBoss Fuse camel route to interact with a rules and process project deployed onto JBoss BPM Suite.
This demo is brought to you in part by our very own Christina Lin who is the JBoss Technology Evangelist that focuses on JBoss Fuse & messaging products. There will be more expansion and if you have a use case you would like to see then just let us know.
The project can be found on github and has documentation to get you up and running in minutes.
Upon starting the server you will find a JBoss BPM Suite setup with the Customer Evaluation project ready for you to inspect, build and deploy for use by the JBoss Fuse camel route we will deploy.
The JBoss Fuse component of this demo consists of setting up a new container to deploy our camel route into, where we then watch messages get processed live in the management console as we push them into the waiting queue. Each message will trigger an external call out to the deployed BPM process to evaluate our customer.
Start the JBoss BPM Suite server, login, build and deploy JBoss BPM Suite process project at http://localhost:8080/business-central (u:erics/p:bpmsuite).
We hope you enjoy this new demo showcasing JBoss Fuse integration with JBoss BPM Suite.
With that in mind I submitted two hands on talks in the labs category, of which one got accepted as a University talk. This will be a three hour lecture style session where I will take you through the hands on material and you can follow along as you see fit.
The session will be scheduled for Monday or Tuesday of the Devoxx week, so watch the schedule for exact times and location or refer back to this article which I will update when more is known.

Q: Qmail says "PRNG not seeded" when sending mail to certain servers We recently moved a web server running Fedora 2 and Plesk 8.2.1 to a virtual machine. Since then, qmail has been refusing to send messages to certain servers, complaining in the mail log that "TLS_connect_failed:_error:24064064:random_number_generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG_not_seeded". Evidently this is an OpenSSL problem related to the switch from actual to virtual hardware. Is there a way to change where OpenSSL is getting its random data from, or at least to tell qmail to fall back on non-secure protocols SSL/TLS doesn't work?

A: Have you checked to make sure /dev/random and /dev/urandom exist on the system?  I found this site with instructions for recreating them if they don't.
http://eitwebguru.com/fix-prng-is-not-seeded/

A: As well as making sure that the relevant devices exist (as per David Smith's answer) you need to make sure there is actually some entropy in the pool.
cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail will tell you its current level. If there is not enough then sending mail through a TLS stream (i.e. encrypted) will either block (waiting for there to be enough) or fail, unless you mail transfer agent is happy to use the non-blocking random device instead (which as its name suggests does not block, but is theoretically less secure).
The entropy pool is replenished by the kernel over time using data from interrupt timings caused by I/O operations, but if the machine (or VM) does not see much activity it takes a long time for the pool to grow are there are very few I/O operations to collect timings from.
On a small machine at our company that acts as nothing more then the internet gateway an SMTP relay we hit this problem with exim. To work around it I simply set a small script running via init that does nothing but slowly read from a disk by running pv --rate-limit 2m /home/4GigFile > /dev/null then sleeping the 30 seconds in a loop. Your VM provider is unlikely to be fond of this solution as it imposes unnecessary extra I/O load on the host machine - you might though get away with a less aggressive script that checks the content of /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail and only runs the arbitrary I/O operation of the loop if the value found is less than, say, 1000.
There are scripts/tools out there that allow you to pull "random" values from other sources to feed the entropy pool too. If you are happy to give the MTA a less truly random (so less secure) entropy source, you could try feed the entropy pool from '/dev/urandom' using  rngd or even just make /dev/random a synlink to /dev/urandom, though some software will be thorough enough to check for that and fail if they are configured by default to be paranoid about the quality of their entropy source.
Edit:
You are only experiencing this issue intermittently for one or both of two reasons: firstly the pool may be sufficiently populated most of the time, and secondly qmail may be communicating with some servers through plain (unencrypted) streams as a fall-back (some, possibly many, receiving servers will refuse non-encrypted connections so this fall-back can not always be used when negotiating a TLS connection fails).

A day after the Supreme Court, upset over a series of violations of model code of conduct, pulled up the Election Commission of India, and said it will examine the powers of the poll body, the EC got into action mode, making the same court appreciate it and say, "It seems you have got the powers now. EC has woken up now." The commission on Monday barred Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath from campaigning for 72 hours and Mayawati, for 48 hours starting 16 April. Gag orders were also imposed on BJP leader Maneka Gandhi and SP's Azam Khan.
The EC's ban order came hours after the apex court told the commission that it could not drag its feet and had to act promptly against poll code violations. The court gave the poll panel time till Tuesday to report on the action taken against the two prominent politicians for their controversial speeches. At a recent meeting in Deoband, Mayawati had warned the Muslim community not to "split votes" between the Congress and her alliance. Appealing to caste or communal feelings to secure votes is banned under the model code.
And, Yogi had said at a rally, "If the Congress, the Samajwadi Party and the BSP have faith in Ali, then we too have faith in Bajrang Bali." While Ali is revered by Muslims as Prophet Mohammad's successor, Bajrang Bali is another name for Lord Hanuman. Following Opposition allegations that it is soft on leaders of the ruling party violating the election code, the EC took action on the UP CM, too. With its actions reaching a high in Tamilnadu, too, where Vellore election was cancelled, DMK leader Kanimozhi's house was raided and AMMK men were prevented from distributing money to voters in Andipatti, all in one day, people look forward to free and fair polling tomorrow.

It took me years to find a decent Laserdisc player in Austria, and a few years ago I managed to get a Sony MDP-650 at a foreclosure auction. I was the only bidder. There is neither supply nor demand for LD players in this country, which isn't surprising as the system was never really popular here, so barely anyone even knows that these things exist.
Anyway, my player worked perfectly fine for a few years (I just had to replace the belt that connects to the gear lifting the LD at first), but recently it stopped working.
It was the same for CDs and LDs, which made it unlikely for the Laser to be the issue as it was unlikely for both Lasers to break at the same time. I suspected the skew motor, which keeps the Laser in focus, but upon closer examination the skew motor was fine. I did however manage to get the player to play discs by turning the skew motor in a way that the Laser is very low. The player could then read discs for a few seconds.
Thanks to a suggestion by the user rein-o in a thread I posted at the lddb.com forums I figured out that the discs were at the wrong height, so I found out where to adjust that and got it to a height where the player seems to be working after a few tries. It seems that the platter slipped down slowly over the years and just needed some readjustment.
I adjusted the height of the Spindle using the little screw on the side.
I hope this helps if you're experiencing the same problem. I also have a PDF of the Sony MDP-650 service manual, so if you're in need of that, just drop me an e-mail!
There is a whole movement of repairing stuff, especially old one that most of us would through away. Did you already heard about Repair Cafés?
Hallo, thank you very much for your advice. I had exact the same problem with my Sony MDP 650D Laserdisc player. After adjusting of the position of the disc 'spinner', I have inserted a LD for a test. Now, I hear the motor roaring, but the laser doesn't move as it used to move 4 times to change several position. As far as I know, during the whole operation I didn't damage anything. Do you know what this might cause? Your advice would be very appreciated. Could you please send a service manual by email? Thank you.
I would very much appreciate if you have the time to e-mail me a copy of your Sony MDP-650 Service manual , I'm also looking for a service parts list for the MDP-533s. I'll glady supply you with different kinds of service manuals for Pioneer laserdisc players if you are in need or just for the fun of knowing.
I have been trying to get a Sony laser disc working.
It won't raise the platter. With just a cd in it, I can reach in and pull the platter up and then it will play.
I would really appreciate the manual as well.
I've a similar problem with my MDP-650D. The disc spins up 2-3 times and the laser tries to focus, but that's all. Could you please mail me a copy of the service manual?
My MDP-650D hasn't worked for a number of years. Discs go in and out a couple of times and then it stops. I'll try adjusting the spindle, but would be very grateful if you could email me a pdf of the manual.
I had problem with may sony mdp-v9k ..the belt was broke and i dont know what kind of belt no. to be replace to loading tray belt.. And when i turn on the power just trip and not working ..hñp me to this pls.

Zdzisław Dziadulski (ur. 5 grudnia 1896 w Krakowie, zm. 1940 w Charkowie) – podpułkownik kawalerii Wojska Polskiego, kawaler Orderu Virtuti Militari, jeździec sportowy, olimpijczyk z Paryża 1924, ofiara zbrodni katyńskiej.

Życiorys
Urodził się w rodzinie Leona i Katarzyny z Korneckich. W latach 1912–1914 należał do Polskich Drużyn Strzeleckich w Rzeszowie. Po wybuchu I wojny światowej, 4 sierpnia 1914 wstąpił do Legionów Polskich. Walczył w I Brygadzie w 1 pułku ułanów Legionów Polskich. W 1917 odniósł kontuzję. Zdał maturę w krakowskiej szkole realnej. Po kryzysie przysięgowym został wcielony do 1 pułk ułanów Armii Austro-Węgier i brał udział w walkach na froncie włoskim.

Po odzyskaniu przez Polskę niepodległości, 5 listopada 1918 wstąpił do Wojska Polskiego i został oficerem kawalerii. W szeregach 1 pułku szwoleżerów Józefa Piłsudskiego w stopniu podporucznika uczestniczył w wojnie polsko-bolszewickiej. Pełnił wówczas funkcje dowódcy plutonu karabinów maszynowych i zastępcy dowódcy szwadronu. Podczas walk na froncie został dwukrotnie ranny. Za bohaterstwo i czyny bojowe został odznaczony Krzyżem Srebrnym Orderu Wojennego Virtuti Militari 30 czerwca 1921 i czterokrotnie Krzyżem Walecznych. Został zweryfikowany do stopnia porucznika ze starszeństwem z dniem 1 czerwca 1919.

W kolejnych latach nadal służył w 1 pułku szwoleżerów. W 1930 pełnił obowiązki dowódcy szwadronu zapasowego, a w 1933 został zatwierdzony na tym stanowisku. W czerwcu 1934 został przesunięty na stanowisko kwatermistrza, a w 1938 został wyznaczony na stanowisko I zastępcy dowódcy pułku. 15 sierpnia 1924 został awansowany do stopnia rotmistrza, 1 stycznia 1932 do stopnia majora. Na stopień podpułkownika został mianowany ze starszeństwem z 19 marca 1939 i 14. lokatą w korpusie oficerów kawalerii.

Uprawiał jeździectwo i był uznawany za wybitnego jeźdźca. W 1922 został zakwalifikowany do ekipy olimpijskiej tworzonej przy macierzystym pułku. Uczestniczył w igrzyskach olimpijskich w 1924 roku, podczas których na koniu "Zefer" startował w konkursach jeździeckich skoków przez przeszkody zarówno indywidualnie, gdzie zajął 28 miejsce, jak i w drużynie zajmując z nią 6 miejsce (poza nim startowali Adam Królikiewicz, Karol Rómmel, Kazimierz Szosland). Na igrzyskach olimpijskich w 1928 roku był rezerwowym zawodnikiem w konkursie drużynowym do startu w Pucharze Narodów. Brał udział w zawodach konnych (m.in. w europejskich miastach Nicea, Rzym, Mediolan).

W czasie kampanii wrześniowej początkowo był dowódcą Ośrodka Zapasowego Kawalerii "Garwolin" w Garwolinie, a 8 września 1939 zastępcą dowódcy Warszawskiego Pułku Ułanów. Kierował walkami pułku na Lubelszczyźnie. Po agresji ZSRR na Polskę z 17 września 1939 oraz związanej z tym odprawie z 22 września u dowódcy nadrzędnej Kombinowanej Brygady Kawalerii płk.

W 1940 wraz z jeńcami osadzonymi w Starobielsku został przewieziony do Charkowa i zamordowany przez funkcjonariuszy Obwodowego Zarządu NKWD w Charkowie oraz pracowników NKWD przybyłych z Moskwy na mocy decyzji Biura Politycznego KC WKP(b) z 5 marca 1940 (część zbrodni katyńskiej). Zamordowani jeńcy są pochowani na Cmentarzu Ofiar Totalitaryzmu w Charkowie w Piatichatkach.

Zdzisław Dziadulski był żonaty z Adelą Bohomolec primo voto Dziadulską secundo voto Żeleńską, która urodziła się 21 lipca 1897 w Rozentowie, majątku rodzinnym Bohomolców na terytorium dzisiejszej Łotwy. Adela Żeleńska w czasie wojny pracowała w Ministerstwie Informacji, a po wojnie była wieloletnim i ofiarnym członkiem Instytutu Józefa Piłsudskiego w Ameryce. Zmarła 24 listopada 1997.

WNY Restaurant Closing After 42 Years In Business
Chris Owen Published: July 7, 2022
The locally-owned restaurants in Western New York are one of the highlights of the region. Buffalonians love their food and take pride in the locals who serve up amazing cuisine.
There are plenty of locally-owned restaurants who have been around for years in the Western New York community, including Niagara Falls.
Unfortunately, one of the most famous restaurants in Niagara Falls, NY is saying 'goodbye' to its customers this weekend.
According to their Facebook page, Kobans Restaurant is closing after 42 years in business.
Their last days of business will be July 8th and 9th.
Their Facebook post says that the restaurant began when Marsha Frost asked her father, Ronald Koban, for a restaurant, It was on the condition she went to culinary school and soon, Kobans Restaurant was born.
Kobans is one of the many restaurants in Western New York who have closed since 2020. Many of those are because of the pandemic, while some have not.
Brennan's Bowery Bar in Williamsville announced their closure last month, which came as a surprise to many in the northtowns. They cited the pandemic restrictions as the reason why they had to make the difficult decision to close.
I know many people in Williamsville will miss Brennan's, as will many Niagara Falls residents miss Kobans Restaurant.
Make sure to stop in this weekend to say goodbye.

Jozef J. Zwislocki is a Multidisciplinary Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Syracuse University. He was a distinguished professor of neuroscience and the Founding Director of the Institute for Sensory Research that was dedicated to anatomical, physiological and psychophysical research on three senses, hearing, vision and touch and also included a doctoral academic program.
Zwislocki was born on March 19, 1922 in Lwow, Poland and attended first the school of Mrs. Helen Shalley, a sister of Marie Sklodowska Curie, subsequently, the Gymnasium of Mikolaj Ray, both in Warsaw, then until the beginning of World War II the experimental school of Rydzyna near Poznan. Occupation of Poland by Hitler's and Stalin's troops forced him to flee with his grandfather Ignacy Moscicki (President of Poland) to Switzerland. Here, he attended the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology from which he obtained a degree of an electrical engineer and, subsequently, of a Dr. of Technical Sciences. His interests changed at that time and he accepted a research position in the Department of Otolaryngology in the Medical School of the University of Basel. At that position, he invented a new diagnostic method for auditory disorders and discovered two previously unknown auditory phenomena. His innovative doctoral dissertation earned him an invitation to the First Speech Communication Conference at MIT and a position of a Research Fellow at the famous Psychoacoustic Laboratory of Harvard. He remained there 6 years making several experimental discoveries accompanied by mathematical theories. The discoveries provided a base for a new diagnostic methodology still used throughout the world. At the end of his tenure at Harvard, he accepted a dual faculty position at the Gordon D. Hoople Hearing and Speech Center and the Department of Electrical Engineering of Syracuse University. The dual position allowed him to create in turn a Bioacoustic Laboratory, a Laboratory of Sensory Communication and, in the end, The Institute for sensory Research. The institute was dedicated to anatomical, physiological and psychological research on three sense modalities – hearing, vision and touch and included a doctoral academic program. Based on his research, Zwislocki authored over 200 scientific articles and 2 state-of the art books. He was a member of a number of scientific societies in some of which he was elected to administrative positions. He was elected to the U.S.A and Polish Academies of Science, received two doctorates h. c., one from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan and one from Syracuse University, and was awarded numerous scientific prizes.
He resides with his wife in Fayetteville, NY.

States. Across the country, states—including New Jersey, Alabama, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado and Texas—are adopting baby box programs at a rapid pace, with some states even planning to distribute a baby box to every expectant or new mother.
baby boxes, questioning whether there are unforeseen safety hazards in using these products and if they are actually effective at preventing sleep-related infant deaths.
sudden and unexpected infant deaths. Please join us in sending a letter to the Consumer Product Safety Commission asking for a study into whether baby box products pose a safety hazard to infants.
whether they are a safe sleeping option for newborns.
accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed. SIDS deaths are most prevalent between the first and fourth months of a baby's life and are the leading cause of death of infants between 1 month and 1 year of age.
We share your deep concern over infant mortality in the United States, and want to work proactively to ensure the safety of newborns.
and the potential for hundreds of thousands to be used in the United States, I encourage the CPSC to ensure that the baby box meets the safety standards.
New York Times article from March reported that New Jersey plans to distribute 105,000 baby boxes, Ohio has plans to distribute 140,000, Alabama is looking to give away 60,000 and organizations in Texas plan to give out 400,000.

Q: Finite difference method stability I have shown that a finite difference method satisfies

$$\underline{u}^{n+1}=((1+6\mu)\mathbb{I}-36\mu A^{-1})\underline{u}^n$$

I don't think that the rest of the question is necessary but it is a finite difference method for the diffusion equation on $t>0, 0<x<1$ with boundary conditions $u(0,t)=0=u(1,t)$ and $u(x,0)=u_0(x)$.

The last part of the question asks to show that the scheme is stable if $\mu\leq 1/6$. The $A$ matrix was a tridiagonal symmetrix matrix with the numbers $1,4,1$ down the diagonal. It is said that the eigenvalues for this matrix are

$\lambda_i=4+2\cos\left( \frac{i\pi}{M+1} \right)$ for $i=1,\cdots,M$ if it is an $M\times M$ matrix.
Attempt
If I can show that the matrix
$$\left[(1+6\mu)\mathbb{I}-36\mu A^{-1}\right]$$
Is bounded with respect to some norm then the finite difference method is stable.
So I think that the norm will be the spectral norm since we have been given eigenvalues
If the eigenvalues are as above then take the reciprocal. So the eigenvalues of $A^{-1}$ is $\frac{1}{4+2\cos(\cdots)}$ which has a maximum value of 1/2.
So now using this I will try to show that
$$||B||=||(1+6\mu)\mathbb{I}-36\mu A^{-1}||=\sqrt{\rho(B^TB)}\leq C$$
I get stuck in evaluating this. My guess would be that the matrix is equal to its transpose so it is just:
$$||B||=\sqrt{\rho({B^2})} $$
My linear algebra is not very good I don't know if you can do this last part. Maybe take
$$(1+6\mu)^2\mathbb{I}-(1+6\mu)A^{-1}+36^2\mu^2A^{-1}A^{-1}$$
and if it were to act on some eigenvector then the eigenvalue would be
$$(1+6\mu)^2-\frac{1}{2}(1+6\mu)+\frac{36^2 \mu^2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}+9 \mu +360 \mu ^2$$
This doesn't seem to shed any light on it.
On the other hand, if I just take
$$|\rho(B)|=|1+6\mu-36\mu\frac{1}{2}|=|1-12\mu|$$
Then I for $0<\mu \leq 1/6$
I have $||B|| \leq 1$?

A: You're right that the eigenvalues of $A^{-1}$ are $\lambda^{-1}$ for each eigenvalue $\lambda$ of $A$. (The notation is suggestive for a reason.) Furthermore, the identity matrix commutes with every matrix; so the eigenvalues of
$qI-rA^{-1}$
are just $q-r/\lambda$ for each eigenvalue $\lambda$ of $A$. Using this, you can compute the eigenvalues of $(1+6\mu)I-36\mu A^{-1}$.
You also know that the matrix $A$ is symmetric, so its inverse is also symmetric. For a symmetric matrix, the 2-norm $\|B\|_2 = \sqrt{\rho(B^\top B)}$ is just the absolute value of the eigenvalue of largest magnitude:
$\|B\|_2 = \max\{|\lambda| : \lambda \textrm{ is an eigenvalue of }B\}$.
I think you've more or less done this at the end of your answer without knowing the justification for why you can do it. You may also want to look at the smallest eigenvalue of $A^{-1}$.
Edit: There are actually plenty of definitions of stability, but I think the one you're looking for is that the solution's norm is bounded as $n\to\infty$. For that, you need that $\|B\| \le 1$ in some norm, where $B$ is the matrix corresponding to the iteration. Provided that you have a consistent discretization of your PDE, the Lax-Richtmeyer Theorem guarantees that, if the discretization is also stable, it will converge to the true solution as the mesh spacing $h$ goes to 0.

A flame may exhibit intrinsic instabilities of several kinds when one or more of the physico-chemical balances associated with its propagation is offset. In premixed flames, the primary instability is a hydrodynamic instability — known as the Darrieus-Landau instability — which results from thermal expansion across the flame interface. In non-premixed (diffusion) flames, thermo-diffusive instabilities are predominant while the hydrodynamic instability plays a secondary role.

Big Hiit fitness fundraiser called off over Coronavirus concern
Editorial Team — March 17, 2020 comments off
EMMA Goodman-Horne has called off her Big Family Hiit, the fundraising event she had planned for Pyrford Cricket Club this Saturday, because of the coronavirus outbreak.
"The more I thought about it the more I realised I had to postpone the day," Emma said. "It's a community event and I just can't facilitate everything that's needed to keep people safe.
Big Family Hiit organiser Emma Goodman-Thorne has called off the charity fundraiser over concerns about Coronavirus
"I'm only a one-man band and it's hard enough to organise at the best of times.
"I couldn't provide hand sanitisers, or increase the washing facilities. I was afraid I'd just be exposing people to risk, and with this event I was well aware that's my personal responsibility.
"Although I was hoping hundreds would attend, that was becoming unrealistic too. How many people would be uncomfortable with being part of a large crowd at the moment and not turn up?
"I wouldn't want anyone to come and be disappointed, so hopefully we'll do it bigger and better later in the year."
Emma does, though, have the consolation of having raised more than £8,000 for Woking & Sam Beare Hospices and the children's cancer charity CLIC Sargent, despite the loss of her big day.
She hosted a charity event at Horsley Towers last Saturday 14 March, which was generously supported by those associated with her Emergy fitness classes, which she also runs at Pyrford Cricket Club.
"It was a huge success," Emma said. "We far exceeded expectations, I'd only been looking to raise about £3,000. Many thanks to all involved."
Emma will continue with her series of boot camps throughout the week.
"That's a far different proposition," she said. "We're always outdoors and we don't exceed 30 to 40 people. We all know each other and anyone who isn't feeling 100 per cent won't come."

Artifacts Here and GoneOne particular challenge for the class design team throughout Legion was handling the introduction and eventual removal of Artifacts. The idea was exciting: design a large set of bonuses with the intention that they would be contained within an expansion, allowing us to make them flashier, more complex, and more numerous than we\u2019d been able to in a specialization\u2019s permanent set of core abilities. But the process of parting with Artifacts produces a complex set of decisions about how to adjust the base classes to play well in their absence.The largest issue is where the pacing of a spec\u2019s rotation was heavily affected by Artifacts. In that case, removing the Artifact may result in a rotation that\u2019s too slow, or has too much open time where the core buttons aren\u2019t available. In the process of reviewing and updating each specialization for Battle for Azeroth, we want to make sure all of them are paced appropriately after the removal of Artifacts. In some cases, we may do things like increase resource generation or reduce cooldowns to fill in some of the newly opened space.For traits that go beyond simple numerical changes and have their own identity\u2014such as active abilities or the powerful and noticeable procs\u2014we are on the lookout across all specs for a small selection of traits that are worth turning into permanent parts of a class. The bar is high for a trait to become permanent. It\u2019s an intended part of the experience of a system like Artifacts that the bonuses are layered on top of the core functionality of your class. You get to explore those bonuses thoroughly, but eventually move on from them. That leaves space in the permanent classes for new special bonuses from other systems in the future, as we\u2019ll soon be exploring with Azerite Armor. That said, various specs will likely see one or two familiar traits from Artifacts showing up in their talent trees in Battle for Azeroth.These are the broad philosophies that are guiding our design in Battle for Azeroth, and we were deliberately light on sharing specific examples of change, which are still in a state of flux at this stage. We welcome a community discussion on the principles we\u2019ve outlined, and look forward to delving into detailed and specific changes as we move forward with our alpha testing in the near future.
Does it mean that some artifact traits may be turned to class base and others to talents or only talents?
Make ret paladins fun to play again . Like they were in WoD , but with less rng.
Some talents probably gets axed like the muchly nerfed Demons Blade for Demon hunters. I imagine shamans lose the stun totem too, but id be delighted if mages lose timewarp and perhaps hunters too. It should be a shaman only niche as it used to be. Bloodlust has been spread too far.
Yes , it does . Hopefully the things that feel necessary will become baseline and others will become talents in a new row of talents(if we get a new row of talents).
Yep! We noted a few in the BlizzCon demo.
Does this pave the road for certain classes to be "needed" for X content and other classes being left out and forced to re-roll or quit game? I can think of an example in Diablo III Demon Hunter class not being a class wanted in the Meta. I hope you don't make the same mistake here.
I can see why they didn't want to, but I don't think it's that big a problem. Yes, it trivialises older content, but so does another 10 levels. Balancing 120 around Artifact traits to the point it feels like we don't have them except for the changes to spell mechanics and active abilities doesn't seem like a poor idea.
I haven't been able to enjoy playing my main class\/spec (retri) since they removed exorcism and hammer of wrath. It just became so boring after all these years playing since Wrath. If I wanted to play Warrior I would roll one!
Which were most likely placeholders , but it does give you an idea.
Well, I want the 5 minutes of my life back reading this ... thats from the PR department, not from the devs. Pure nothing, no substance.
MoP and defo Wod were fine , a bit too much rng in WoD , but it was very fun and enjoyable to play as ret.
So, blood death knight tanking suffers from loss of character control, or loss of the ability to HIT the other mob, standing in a room, being perma feared, makes for a boring death.
I can only pray that blizzard is listening. I can almost always adapt to a class change and keep on rolling. I've done it 3 times now. But my only plea is that they let us keep hati, or at least 2 pets. They put so much work into designing how the code for 2 pets would work in game, it would be a shame and a waste to just discard it.
Also the post above having mages lose time warp, would be a complete and utter mistake. Not every group can have a shaman so there needs to be some overlap there and thus keeps mages in the game. Too much have been taken from mages already in Legion.
On the subject of Demon Blades I'm on the fence. I've mained DH all xpac. I hated using Demon's Bite in a non Demonic setup because it feels so weak and needs to be used constantly, where I've accepted Demon's Bite in Demonic builds, largely due to the fact you generate so much Fury between Blind Fury, Demonic Appetite and Chaos Strike crits that you aren't constantly spamming it. Besides, with legendaries no longer being relevant, there will be no Anger of the Half Giants, which amplifies the current issues with Demon Blades.
tldr: cut cut cut cut.
The more variation to raids and pvp to make different play styles shine, the more variation and ups and downs in your playing experience. I'm hopeful that all specs can perform decently in all Battle raids and pvp, while all specs will also get times to shine. That would be a nice balance, though it will take a lot of hard work to design, a lot of testing, and will need to be maintained as specs continue to be changed and rebalanced over the years.
All I want is for Blizz to give Windwalkers staffs back!


Explain in the first sentence of the human body of your letter why you write it. Make sure that the letter of introduction is particular to the audience and the position is a necessity. The internal help of the online letter of introduction is a simple means of going beyond the first stage, as it is possible to see the presentation letters and curricula of a candidate and find out how they have been able to compose the two independently.
To understand what a letter of introduction is for, it is important first to understand why you will be hired. A letter of introduction gives you the freedom of complete sentences instead of vignettes, so use them to tell the story of why it is the ideal fit for the business. It's a valuable addition that can help your skills and experience stand out. One of the most common mistakes people make when writing their own letter of presentation is to focus on what they are looking for at work.
Simply following some basic strategies and making certain adjustments might be enough to make your presentation letter much better than before. The letter of introduction is among the few documents that almost everyone should write sooner or later in their life. An excellent cover letter should be brief, but if you submit a request for hundreds of jobs, writing a distinctive letter of presentation for each will overwhelm you.
If you are submitting your letter of introduction as an email, it is recommended to present the letter of presentation of the main body of the email and attach your CV. A letter of introduction may be the first thing an employer sees and you need to be sure it will make a big impression. If you can write an excellent letter of introduction, it can be an immediate ticket for your work.
Most people today consider that writing a cover letter is a small challenge, simply because they don't understand what to put in it. The letter of introduction must be written in a normal commercial letter format. Everything in your resume should be written with the main information first. A mediocre presentation letter can do more harm than good, so make sure your cover letter is in an excellent state to help you get the interview.
If you are a copywriter, your cover letter should ooze skillfully. A letter of introduction is essentially a preface to your resume and allows you to attract an employer's interest in your qualities, skills, and techniques. It is a formal document and therefore follows the format of a formal letter. Then it must be short. Besides the résumé, there is, too. It is an important document that is usually written by a candidate applying for a job. Writing fantastic presentation cards is a powerful strategy to win the core of a prospective employer and doubles the chance of finding the job of your dreams.
Writing effective presentation letters might not be your best skills. The letter of introduction is the most important tool to attract the interest of recruiters. On top of that, your cover letter might even be in the hands of the person you addressed! You cannot use the same letter of presentation to apply for each job.

A golf ball approaching zero land area is disclosed herein. The golf ball has an innersphere with a plurality of tubular projections. Each of the plurality of projections has an apex that extends to a height to conform with the 1.68 inches requirement for USGA approved golf balls. The tubular lattice pattern on the inner sphere of the golf ball of the present invention has interconnected projections that form a plurality of hexagons and pentagons in the preferred embodiment. The preferred embodiment has a parting line that alternates upward and downward along adjacent rows of hexagons.
The present invention relates to an aerodynamic surface pattern for a golf ball. More specifically, the present invention relates to a golf ball having a tubular lattice pattern on an innersphere surface.
Golfers realized perhaps as early as the 1800's that golf balls with indented surfaces flew better than those with smooth surfaces. Hand-hammered gutta-percha golf balls could be purchased at least by the 1860's, and golf balls with brambles (bumps rather than dents) were in style from the late 1800's to 1908. In 1908, an Englishman, William Taylor, received a British patent for a golf ball with indentations (dimples) that flew better ad more accurately than golf balls with brambles. A.G. Spalding & Bros., purchased the U.S. rights to the patent (embodied possibly in U.S. Pat. No. 1,286,834 issued in 1918) and introduced the GLORY ball featuring the TAYLOR dimples. Until the 1970s, the GLORY ball, and most other golf balls with dimples had 336 dimples of the same size using the same pattern, the ATTI pattern. The ATTI pattern was an octahedron pattern, split into eight concentric straight line rows, which was named after the main producer of molds for golf balls.
The only innovation related to the surface of a golf ball during this sixty year period came from Albert Penfold who invented a mesh-pattern golf ball for Dunlop. This pattern was invented in 1912 and was accepted until the 1930's. A combination of a mesh pattern and dimples is disclosed in Young, U.S. Pat. No. 2,002,726, for a Golf Ball, which issued in 1935.
The traditional golf ball, as readily accepted by the consuming public, is spherical with a plurality of dimples, with each dimple having a circular cross-section. Many golf balls have been disclosed that break with this tradition, however, for the most part these non-traditional golf balls have been commercially unsuccessful.
Most of these non-traditional golf balls still attempt to adhere to the Rules Of Golf as set forth by the United States Golf Association ("USGA") and The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of Saint Andrews ("R&A"). As set forth in Appendix III of the Rules of Golf, the weight of the ball shall not be greater than 1.620 ounces avoirdupois (45.93 gm), the diameter of the ball shall be not less than 1.680 inches (42.67 mm) which is satisfied if, under its own weight, a ball falls through a 1.680 inches diameter ring gauge in fewer than 25 out of 100 randomly selected positions, the test being carried out at a temperature of 23±1° C., and the ball must not be designed, manufactured or intentionally modified to have properties which differ from those of a spherically symmetrical ball.
One example is Shimosaka et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,916,044, for a Golf Ball that discloses the use of protrusions to meet the 1.68 inch (42.67 mm) diameter limitation of the USGA and R&A. The Shimosaka patent discloses a golf ball with a plurality of dimples on the surface a few rows of protrusions that have a height of 0.001 to 1.0 mm from the surface. Thus, the diameter of the surface is less than 42.67 mm.
Another example of a non-traditional golf ball is Pocklington, U.S. Pat. No. 5,536,013 for a Golf Ball, which discloses a golf ball having raised portions within each dimple, and also discloses dimples of varying geometric shapes such as squares, diamonds and pentagons. The raised portions in each of the dimples of Pocklington assists in controlling the overall volume of the dimples.
Aoyama, U.S. Pat. No. 4,830,378, for a Golf Ball With Uniform Land Configuration, discloses a golf ball with dimples that have triangular shapes. The total flat land area of Aoyama is no greater than 20% of the surface of the golf ball, and the objective of the patent is to optimize the uniform land configuration and not the dimples.
Another variation in the shape of the dimples is set forth in Steifel, U.S. Pat. No. 5,890,975 for a Golf Ball And Method Of Forming Dimples Thereon. Some of the dimples of Steifel are elongated to have an elliptical cross-section instead of a circular cross-section. The elongated dimples make it possible to increase the surface coverage area. A design patent to Steifel, U.S. Pat. No. 406,623, has all elongated dimples.
A variation on this theme is set forth in Moriyama et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,722,903, for a Golf Ball, which discloses a golf ball with traditional dimples and oval shaped dimples.
A further example of a non-traditional golf ball is set forth in Shaw et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,722,529, for Golf Balls, which discloses a golf ball with dimples and 30 bald patches in the shape of a dumbbell for improvements in aerodynamics.
Another example of a non-traditional golf ball is Cadorniga, U.S. Pat. No. 5,470,076, for a Golf Ball, which discloses each of a plurality of dimples having an additional recess. It is believed that the major and minor recess dimples of Cadorniga create a smaller wake of air during flight of a golf ball.
Oka et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,143,377, for a Golf Ball, discloses circular and non-circular dimples. The non-circular dimples are square, regular octagonal, regular hexagonal and amount to at least forty percent of the 332 dimples on the golf ball of Oka. These non-circular dimples of Oka have a double slope that sweeps air away from the periphery in order to make the air turbulent.
Machin, U.S. Pat. No. 5,377,989, for Golf Balls With Isodiametrical Dimples, discloses a golf ball having dimples with an odd number of curved sides and arcuate apices to reduce the drag on the golf ball during flight.
Lavallee et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,356,150, discloses a golf ball having overlapping elongated dimples to obtain maximum dimple coverage on the surface of the golf ball.
Oka et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,338,039, discloses a golf ball having at least forty percent of its dimples with a polygonal shape. The shapes of the Oka golf ball are pentagonal, hexagonal and octagonal.
Although the prior art has set forth numerous variations for the surface of a golf ball, there remains a need for a golf ball having a surface that minimizes the volume needed to trip the boundary layer of air at low speed while providing a low drag level at high speeds.
The present invention is able to provide a golf ball that meets the USGA requirements, and provides a minimum land area to trip the boundary layer of air surrounding a golf ball during flight in order to create the necessary turbulence for greater distance. The present invention is able to accomplish this by providing a golf ball with a tubular lattice pattern on a surface of an innersphere.
One aspect of the present invention is a golf ball with an innersphere having a surface and a plurality of tubular projections disposed on the innersphere surface. Each of the tubular projections has a cross-sectional contour with an apex at the greatest extent from the center of the golf ball. The plurality of tubular projections are connected to each other to form a predetermined pattern on the surface. Each of the tubular projections extend from 0.005 inches to 0.010 inches from the innersphere surface.
The plurality of tubular projections on the golf ball may cover between 20% to 80% of the surface of the innersphere surface. The apex of each of the plurality of tubular projections has a width less than 0.00001 inches. The diameter of the innersphere may be at least 1.67 inches and the height of the apex of each of the plurality of connected tubes may be at least 0.005 inches from the surface of the innersphere. The golf ball may also include a plurality of smooth portions on the innersphere surface wherein the plurality of smooth portions and the plurality of tubular projections cover the entire innersphere surface.
Another aspect of the present invention is a golf ball having an innersphere with a surface and a plurality of tubular projections disposed on the innersphere surface. Each of the tubular projections has a cross-sectional curvature with an arc. Each of the plurality of tubular projections is connected to each other to form a plurality of interconnected polygons. The tubular projections cover between 20% and 80% of the surface of the golf ball.
Yet another aspect of the present invention is a golf ball having a sphere with a tubular lattice configuration. The sphere has a diameter in the range of 1.60 to 1.70. The tubular lattice configuration is disposed on the sphere. The tubular lattice configuration includes a plurality of connected tubes extending outward from the sphere. Each of the tubes has an apex that extends from a surface of the sphere in a range of 0.005 to 0.010.
A further aspect of the present invention is a non-dimpled golf ball having a sphere and a plurality of connected tubes. The sphere has a diameter in the range of 1.60 to 1.70. The plurality of connected tubes extend outward from the sphere. Each of the tubes has an apex that extends from a surface of the sphere in a range of 0.005 to 0.010. The entire surface of the golf ball is composed of the plurality of connected tubes and a plurality of smooth portions.

FIG. 16 is a chart of the minimal volume.
As shown in FIGS. 1-4, a golf ball is generally designated 20. The golf ball may be a two-piece, a three piece golf ball, or a multiple layer golf ball. Further, the three-piece golf ball may have a wound layer, or a solid boundary layer. Additionally, the core of the golf ball 20 may be solid, hollow or filled with a fluid such as a gas or liquid. The cover of the golf ball 20 may be any suitable material. A preferred cover is composed of a thermoset polyurethane material. However, those skilled in the pertinent art will recognize that other cover materials may be utilized without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The golf ball 20 may have a finish of a basecoat and/or top coat.
The golf ball 20 has a sphere 21 with an innersphere surface 22. The golf ball 20 also has an equator 24 dividing the golf ball 20 into a first hemisphere 26 and a second hemisphere 28. A first pole 30 is located ninety degrees along a longitudinal arc from the equator 24 in the first hemisphere 26. A second pole 32 is located ninety degrees along a longitudinal arc from the equator 24 in the second hemisphere 28.
Extending outward from the surface 22 of the innersphere 21 are a plurality of projections 40. In a preferred embodiment, the projections 40 are tubular projections. However, those skilled in the pertinent art will recognize that the projections 40 may have other similar shapes. The projections are connected to each other to form a lattice structure 42 on the surface 22 of the innersphere 21. The interconnected projections form a plurality of polygons encompassing discrete areas of the surface 22 of the innersphere 21. Most of these discrete bounded areas 44 are hexagonal shaped bounded areas 44 a, with a few pentagonal shaped bounded areas 44 b, a few octagonal shaped bounded areas 44 c, and a few quadragonal shaped bounded areas 44 d. In the embodiment of FIGS. 1-4, there are 380 polygons. In the preferred embodiment, each of the plurality of projections 40 are connected to at least another projection 40. Each of the projections 40 meet at least two other projections 40 at a vertex 46. Most of the vertices 46 are the congruence of three projections 40. However, some vertices 46 a are the congruence of four projections 40. These vertices 46 a are located at the equator 24 of the golf ball 20. The length of each of the projections 40 ranges from 0.005 inches to 0.01 inches.
Unlike traditional golf balls that attempt to minimize the land area (the non-dimpled area) by packing in various sizes of dimples, the preferred embodiment of the present invention has zero land area since only a line of each of the plurality of projections 40 is in a spherical plane at 1.68 inches. More specifically, the land area of traditional golf balls is the area forming a sphere of at least 1.68 inches for USGA and R&A conforming golf balls. This land area is minimized with dimples that are concave into the surface of the sphere of the traditional golf ball. However, the innersphere 21 of the golf ball 20 of the present invention has a diameter that is less than 1.68 inches. The golf ball 20 of the present invention conforms to the USGA and R&A 1.68 inches diameter requirement due to the height of the projections 40 from the surface 22 of the innersphere 21. The height of the projections 40 are such that the diameter of the golf ball 20 of the present invention meets or exceeds the 1.68 inches requirement. In a preferred embodiment, only a line at the apex of each of the projections 40 meets the 1.68 inches requirement.
Traditional golf balls were designed to have the dimples "trip" the boundary layer on the surface of a golf ball in flight to create a turbulent flow for greater lift and reduced drag. The golf ball 20 of the present invention has the tubular lattice structure 42 to trip the boundary layer of air about the surface of the golf ball 20 in flight.
As shown in FIG. 4A, a phantom 1.68 inches sphere, as shown by dashed line 45, encompasses the projections 40 and the innersphere 21. The volume of the projections 40 as measured from the surface 22 of the innersphere to the apex 50 is a minimal amount of the volume between the phantom 1.68 inches sphere and the innersphere 21. In the preferred embodiment, the apex 50 lies on the phantom 1.68 inches sphere. Thus, over 90 percent, and closer to 95 percent, of the entire surface of the golf ball 20 lies below the 1.68 inches phantom sphere.
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the height h and h′ of the projections 40 from the surface 22 to an apex 50 will vary in order to have the golf ball 20 meet or exceed the 1.68 inches requirement. For example, if the diameter of the innersphere 21 is 1.666 inches, then the height h of the projections 40 in FIG. 5 is 0.007 inches since the projection 40 on one hemisphere 26 is combined with a corresponding projection 40 on the second hemisphere 28 to reach the 1.68 inches requirement. In a preferred embodiment, if projections 40 having a greater height h′ are desired, such as in FIG. 6, then the innersphere 21 is reduced in diameter. Thus, the diameter of the innersphere 21 in FIG. 6 is 1.662 while the height h′ of the projections 40 are 0.009. As shown in FIG. 6A, the width of each of the apices 50 is minimal since the apex lies along an arc of a projection 40. In theory, the width of each apex 50 should approach the width of a line. In practice, the width of each apex 50 of each projection 40 is determined by the precision of the mold utilized to produce the golf ball 20. The precision of the mold is itself determined by the master used to form the mold. In the practice, the width of each line ranges from 0.0001 inches to 0.001 inches.
Although the cross-section of the projections 40 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 are circular, a preferred cross-section of each the plurality of projections 40 is shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. In such a preferred cross-section, the projection 40 has a contour 52 that has a first concave section 54, a convex section 56 and a second concave section 58. The radius R2 of the convex portion 56 of each of the projections 40 is preferably in the range of 0.0275 inches to 0.0350 inches. The radius R1 of the first and second concave portions 54 and 58 is preferably in the range of 0.150 inches to 0.200 inches, and most preferably 0.175 inches. Rball is the radius of the innersphere which is preferably 0.831 inches.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 9, 9A, 9B and 9C. In this embodiment, the golf ball 20 has a parting line 100 that corresponds to the shape of polygon defined by the plurality of projections 40 about the equator 24. Thus, if the polygons have a hexagonal shape, the parting line 100 will alternate along the lower half of one hexagon and the upper half of an adjacent hexagon. Such a golf ball 20 is fabricated using a mold such as disclosed in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/442,845, filed on Nov. 18, 1999, entitled Mold For A Golf Ball, and incorporated herein by reference. The preferred embodiment allows for greater uniformity in the polygons. In the embodiment of FIGS. 9, 9A, 9B and 9C, there are 332 polygons, with 12 of those polygons being pentagons and the rest being hexagons.
As shown in FIG. 9, each hemisphere 26 and 28 has two rows of hexagons 70, 72, 74 and 76, adjacent the parting line 100. The pole 30 of the first hemisphere 26 is encompassed by a pentagon 44 b, as shown in FIG. 9B. The pentagon 44 b at the pole 30 is encompassed by ever increasing spherical pentagonal groups of hexagons 80, 82, 84, 86, and 88. A pentagonal group 90 has pentagons 44 b at each respective base, with hexagons 44 a therebetween. The pentagonal groups 80, 82, 84, 86, 88 and 90 transform into the four adjacent rows 70, 72, 74 and 76. The preferred embodiment only has hexagons 44 a and pentagons 44 b.
wherein ν is the average velocity of the golf ball; D is the diameter of the golf ball (usually 1.68 inches); ρ is the density of air (0.00238 slugs/ft3 at standard atmospheric conditions); and μ is the absolute viscosity of air (3.74×10−7 lb*sec/ft2 at standard atmospheric conditions). A Reynolds number, R, of 180,000 for a golf ball having a USGA approved diameter of 1.68 inches, at standard atmospheric conditions, approximately corresponds to a golf ball hit from the tee at 200 ft/s or 136 mph, which is the point in time during the flight of a golf ball when the golf ball attains its highest speed. A Reynolds number, R, of 70,000 for a golf ball having a USGA approved diameter of 1.68 inches, at standard atmospheric conditions, approximately corresponds to a golf ball at its apex in its flight, 78 ft/s or 53 mph, which is the point in time during the flight of the golf ball when the travels at its slowest speed. Gravity will increase the speed of a golf ball after its reaches its apex.
FIG. 10 illustrates the lift coefficient of traditional golf balls such as the Titlelist PROFESSIONAL, the Titlelist TOUR PRESTIGE, the Maxfli REVOLUTION and the Maxfli HT URETHANE. FIG. 11 illustrates the drag coefficient of traditional golf balls such as the Titlelist PROFESSIONAL, the Titlelist TOUR PRESTIGE, the Maxfli REVOLUTION and the Maxfli HT URETHANE.
All of the golf balls for the comparison test, including the golf ball 20 of the present invention, have a thermoset polyurethane cover. The golf ball 20 of the present invention was constructed as set forth in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/361,912, filed on Jul. 27, 1999, for a Golf Ball With A Polyurethane Cover which pertinent parts are hereby incorporated by reference. However, those skilled in the pertinent art will recognize that other materials may be used in the construction of the golf ball of the present invention. The aerodynamics of the tubular lattice pattern of the present invention provides a greater lift with a reduced drag thereby translating into a golf ball 20 that travels a greater distance than traditional golf balls of similar constructions.
As compared to traditional golf balls, the golf ball 20 of the present invention is the only one that combines a lower drag coefficient at high speeds, and a greater lift coefficient at low speeds. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10-13, none of the other golf balls have a lift coefficient, CL, greater than 0.18 at a Reynolds number of 70,000, and a drag coefficient CD less than 0.23 at a Reynolds number of 180,000. For example, while the Titliest PROFESSIONAL has a CL greater than 0.18 at a Reynolds number of 70,000, its CD is greater than 0.23 at a Reynolds number of 180,000. Also, while the Maxfli REVOLUTION has a drag coefficient CD greater than 0.23 at a Reynolds number of 180,000, its CL is less than 0.18 at a Reynolds number of 70,000.
In this regard, the Rules of Golf, approved by the USGA and The R&A, limits the initial velocity of a golf ball to 250 feet (76.2 m) per second (a two percent maximum tolerance allows for an initial velocity of 255 per second) and the overall distance to 280 yards (256 m) plus a six percent tolerance for a total distance of 296.8 yards (the six percent tolerance may be lowered to four percent). A complete description of the Rules of Golf are available on the USGA web page at www.usga.org. Thus, the initial velocity and overall distance of a golf ball must not exceed these limits in order to conform to the Rules of Golf. Therefore, the golf ball 20 should have a dimple pattern that enables the golf ball 20 to meet, yet not exceed, these limits.
FIG. 14 is an enlarged view of the surface of the golf ball 20 of the present invention to demonstrate the minimal volume of the golf ball 20 from a predetermined distance from the greatest extent of the golf ball 20. More specifically, the greatest extent of one embodiment of the golf ball 20 are the apices 50 of the projections 40 which lie on a spherical plane (shown as dashed line 45) which has a 1.682 inches diameter. Those skilled in the art should recognize that other embodiments could have the apices 50 lie on a spherical plane at 1.70 inches, 1.72 inches, 1.64 inches, 1.60 inches, or any other variation in the diameter of the greatest extent of the golf ball 20. Having defined the greatest extent of the golf ball 20, the present invention will have a minimal volume from this greatest extent toward the innersphere 22. For example, dashed line 130 represents a spherical plane that intersects each of the projections 40 at a distance of 0.002 inches (at a radius of 0.839 inches from the center) from the greatest extent of the golf ball 20. The volume of the golf ball 20 of the present invention between the greatest extent spherical plane 45 and the spherical plane 130 is only 0.0008134 cubic inches. In other words, the outermost 0.002 inches (between a radius of 0.841 and 0.839 inches) of the golf ball 20 has a volume 0.0008134 cubic inches.
FIG. 15 illustrates the surface of a golf ball 140 of the prior art which has traditional dimples 142 encompassed by a land area 144. The land area 144 represents the greatest extent of the golf ball 140 of the prior art. For comparison to the golf ball 20 of the present invention, the volume of the golf ball 140 of the prior art between the greatest extent 144 and a spherical plane 130′ is 0.00213 cubic inches. Spherical planes 132, 134 and 136, at 0.004 inches, 0.006 inches and 0.008 inches respectively, have volumes of 0.0023074 cubic inches, 0.0042164 cubic inches and 0.0065404 cubic inches, respectively on the golf ball 20 of the present invention. While spherical planes 132′, 134′ and 136′, at 0.004 inches, 0.006 inches and 0.008 inches respectively, will have volumes of 0.00498 cubic inches, 0.00841 cubic inches and 0.01238 cubic inches on the golf ball 140 of the prior art 140.
Thus, as further shown in FIG. 16 and Table One below, the golf ball 20 of the present invention will have a minimal volume at a predetermined distance from the greatest extent of the golf ball 20. This minimal volume is a minimal amount necessary to trip the boundary layer air at low speed while providing a low drag level at high speeds. The first column of Table One is the distance from the outermost point of the golf ball 20, which is the apex 50 of each of the projections 40. The second column is the individual volume of each of the 830 tubes at this distance inward from the outermost point. The third column is the total volume of the spherical planes at each distance inward from the outermost point. Table Two contains similar information for the golf ball 140 of the prior art.

Reports to be submitted under links with NHS Highland Council as part of the packed agenda
THE Caithness District Partnership will meet in full as part of the arrangements under the Planning for Integration partnership between NHS and the Highland Council.
In an interesting and packed agenda the Partners will receive reports and updates from NHS on the Caithness Redesign project, the current delayed discharge position and an update on work of the Integrated teams. Andrea Madden, Community Development Officer, and Mike Flavell, the new District Manager (Caithness), will deliver these reports and updates.
Highland Council Children's Services will brief and update on the Early Years Collaborative, the Family Teams development, the Family Nurse Partnership and the Dental School visiting services.
These reports will be delivered by Dawn Grant, Area Children's Services Manager who said: "Children's Services in Highland are looking towards the next step in integrating care in the Highlands by moving forward with integrating Social Workers, Health Visitors, School Nurses, allied health professionals and primary Mental Health Workers into frontline teams based around Associated School Groups. In doing this we are looking to build services around families with the child at the centre, accessible through a one-stop-shop approach where possible." The meeting will be chaired for the final time by Colin Punler who is stepping down as chair after the meeting as his term of office as a non-executive member of NHS Highland comes to an end at the end of June this year. Colin said: "The partnership brings together Elected Members, community representatives and other service users with senior officials responsible for the delivery of services. Through their Councillors or community groups, it is an opportunity for any member of the public to bring up issues and ideas for improvement in a public forum or indeed they can raise the matter directly themselves by completing the appropriate assessment form".The meeting will commence at 11.00 am in Naver House, Naver Road, Thurso and members of the public are very welcome to attend. There will be a slot on the agenda where members of the public will be invited to contribute.
