Intricately engraved antique stock certificate from Compania Metalurgica Mexicana dating back to the 1910's. This document was printed by the American Bank Note Company and measures approximately 11 3/4" (w) by 7 3/4" (h).
This certificate's features a pair of vignettes, depicting the national symbols of Mexico and the United States.
The images presented are representative of the piece(s) you will receive. When representative images are presented for one of our offerings, you will receive a certificate in similar condition as the one pictured; however dating, denomination, certificate number and issuance details may vary.
The Compañía Metalúrgica Mexicana (CMM) was chartered in New Jersey in 1890 by Robert Safford Towne. Towne was born in 1858 in Ohio and died in 1916; in 1880 he received a degree in mining engineering.
Towne was president of the Mexican Northern Railroad, which he helped bring to completion in 1890; he also built the CMM's smelter at San Luis Potosí in 1892. To supply it, and to service mines he had leased in the San Pedro district of San Luis Potosí, Towne controlled the Potosí and Rio Verde Railway and the Mexican Mineral Railway. His Alvarez Land and Timber Company supplied needed lumber. Towne also held the Montezuma Lead Company and Sombrerete Mining Company in Zacatecas.
Towne's death in 1916, compounded by the Mexican Revolution and an erratic metal market, left CMM and its subsidiaries in financial straits. In 1923 most of the CMM properties were sold and Towne Mines, Inc., which was organized to succeed CMM. Towne Mines, Inc. was a holding company whose activities were directed by the American Smelting and Refining Company, although Towne's heirs retained title to the properties of Towne Mines, Inc. The name CMM continued to be used in Mexico as agent and trustee for Towne Mines, Inc. In 1936 Towne Mines, Inc. was merged with CMM. CMM continued to operate at least until the 1960s, although its subsidiaries were dissolved beginning as early as 1940.

This Alsace speciality (which goes by the name of sauerkraut across the border in Germany) is a bit of a meat-feast involving various cuts of pork and sausage. Though it is often a weekday dish it does take a while to assemble and is better suited to serving to a group because of the quantities involved. Every town, village, restaurant and family will have their preferred version of the dish and the exact amount and choice of meat is not cast in stone. The recipe below comes from Alsace restaurant 'Aux Armes de France'in Ammerschwihr and although it is now possible to source even the most obscure regional produce in this country, if you can't get hold of the sausages below, do feel free to experiment and devise your own version.
If tinned, place choucroute in a colander and let running water wash out the salt.
Drain and set aside. Place butter in an oven proof casserole.
When melted (over direct heat) add onions and brown quickly.
Remove casserole from heat and add the various meatscut into 2"-3" pieces.
Add stock, wine, juniper berries, choucroute,pepper and crushed garlic.
Return to a very low heat (350°F/170ºC), cover and simmer for approximately one hour, checking meat for tenderness.


David Passell passes along this news: "Radio Shack has a sale on the Gigaware Webcam with Mike for $19.99 (+ tax). The instructions and disk specified Windows (XP or Vista; no wonder it is on sale). However; I bought one and plugged it into my Mac Mini USB input. I got image and sound (with some setting up) using Quick Time 10, VLC, and Skype. You may have to tweak a bit, but it can be used." We can envision David's smile as he adds, "One of my pet annoyances is the total ignorance (and sales loss) of people who only can read what is on the side of the box. (My other one is forgetting what I did two years ago : (.)"
Newer PostNew to the Mac? Already Experienced?


After half a lifetime of searching, Barry encounters the man who killed his mother - a man in a yellow suit with speed that surpasses his own! Cisco and Dr. Wells think they can help catch the killer, but only with the help of Detective West and a tachyon device from their rival, Mercury Labs. Meanwhile, Eddie Thawne asks Iris a big question and Caitlin discovers that her fiancee, Ronnie Raymond, is still alive and in possession of metahuman powers!
The Flash: Rebirth (the concept of Barry Allen's worst enemy killing his mother) and The Flash #139 (the introduction of The Reverse Flash).
Carlos Valdes - usually the plucky comic relief as Cisco Ramon - gets a number of quieter moments here where he shows that while he may have been cast in this role for his comedic timing, he can handle the serious, softer drama as well. We see this both in his wordless reaction to Caitlin's heart breaking as she talks about how she regrets the "one more minute" she got with the love of her life and his quite talk with Joe West about a second speedster being there when Barry's mother was murdered.
The opening chase scene with Barry chasing after The Reverse Flash.
In the comics, the Reverse Flash (aka Professor Zoom) was a man named Eobard Thawne. Thawne was born in the 25th century and a major Flash fanboy. So much so that he had plastic surgery to make himself look like Barry Allen (whose secret identity was known by that time) and spent his family fortune trying to replicate the accident that gave Barry his powers so he could go back in time and fight alongside his hero. Thawne was successful, save that he miscalculated how far he needed to go back and he arrived just a few years after Barry Allen's death. Once there, he discovered - through a display in the Flash Museum - that Barry Allen was attacked by a villain whose name was unknown to the historians of his time - a man named Eobard Thawne. Faced with the idea that he was destined to become an enemy of the man he admired most, Thawne went crazy and evil.
In the comics, Tina McGee was a college student, majoring in nutrition, who received a grant to study Wally West's metabolism. The two dated for a time but remained close friends after their break-up. Tina eventually became the head of STAR Labs Central City branch and assisted Wally with a number of cases.
Tina McGee was also the name of the female lead on the 1990's The Flash TV series. There, she was a STAR Labs scientist who helped Barry Allen with understanding and controlling his powers. She was played by actress Amanda Pays, who also plays Tina McGee in the current The Flash show.
The new version of Tina McGee's full name is Christina McGee. She's the head of Mercury Labs, which was STAR Labs biggest rival until the night of the particle accelerator explosion. She has a dislike for Harrison Wells which seems to go beyond professional rivalry and she compares Barry to Harrison unfavorably after Barry threatens to send the professional scientific journals after her digging for information on her latest projects when she refuses to let the police borrow her technology as bait for a trap for The Reverse Flash.
Mercury Labs is named after Mercury - the messenger of the Roman Gods, who was said to possess amazing speed. The common artistic depictions of Mercury inspired the costume of the first Flash, Jay Garrick. Many mythological scholars have correlated the legends of Mercury to modern superhero comics starring The Flash.
In his Firestorm form, Ronnie Raymond's eyes glow white - just like in the comics.
As in the comics, Firestorm is capable of flight.
The ring that Wells uses to open his secret room has a The Flash insignia. In the comics, Barry Allen used such a ring to hide his costume, which he kept folded up VERY tightly within a secret compartment in the ring. When he needed to change into The Flash, he could just open the ring and have the costume spring out so he could change into it unseen at super-speed.
The Reverse Flash tries to rob the Superluminal Development Lab at Mercury Labs. Superluminal is the scientific term for "faster than light". It is used in reference to superluminal motion - the idea that some objects (particularly radio galaxies and quasars) are capable of moving faster than the speed of light - and superluminal communication, which theorizes that we might be able to transmit electronic information at speeds faster than light.
Barry notes that the blood-splatter pattern found at Mercury Labs is consistent with that in a high-speed collision.
Tachyons are theoretical particles capable of faster-than-light travel. Although their existence has yet to be proven, their theoretical effects play a major role in defining modern physics. Tachyons are routinely referenced in modern science-fiction as the key to time travel, Dr. Wells states that tachyons could be used to make a person capable of faster-than-light travel and could well render a person invincible.
The trap for The Reverse Flash creates an electronic barrier using super-capacitors.
Cisco is able to track Ronnie by following a trail of ionized particles he leaves in his wake with a meter that measures the radiation emitted in counts per minute (CPMs). The CPMs increase the closer they get to Ronnie.
Nora: If I turn this light off now, would you be scared?
Nora: That's because I'm here with you. See, you're not afraid of the dark, Barry. You're afraid of being alone in the dark. And that goes away when you realize something. You're never really alone.
Barry: It was you! You were the one in my house that night! You killed my mother! Why?!
The Reverse Flash: If you want to know that, you're going to have to catch me.
The Reverse Flash: It is your destiny to lose to me, Flash. Just as it was your mother's destiny to die that night.
Dr. Wells: The reason I know all this is because your powers are almost exactly the same as The Flash!
The Reverse Flash: Well, I'm not like The Flash at all. Some would say I'm the reverse.
Joe: When you first moved in with us, I thought it was going to be too much. I was already a single dad. Finances were tough. And you were a little boy who just lost his mother. But,man, I was wrong. Within two weeks you changed the whole dynamic of the house. Suddenly the house was filled with this light, this energy. I mean, you brightened up everything. You've seen more darkness than any man will in a lifetime and you never let it dim your soul. So there I was thinking that I'm changing your life by taking you in, but the truth is you changed mine. So don't lose that light, now, Bar. The world may need The Flash, but I need my Barry Allen.
Joe: You're too close to this!
Barry: Well maybe you're not close enough!
Barry's Christmas gift to Iris is a replica of her mother's wedding bands, which Iris lost while on a field trip in 5th Grad. She gets him a new microscope.
Grandma Esther West has a famous eggnog recipe with a liberal definition of what "light on the bourbon" means.
Eddie asks Iris to move in with him.
Dr. Wells has a deep hatred of Stephen Hawking.
Joe tells Barry about being attacked by The Man In The Yellow Suit back in F106. The figure not only threatened Iris' life but also stole all the evidence in Nora Allen's case file.
Barry was afraid of the dark as a child or- according to his mother - being alone.
Barry confesses his love to Iris, who says nothing in response, though she does cry a little.
The field fails to contain The Reverse Flash. At least, he is able to pull Wells into the field and deliver a beating to him.
Firestorm tells Caitlin not to look for him again.
Joe tells Eddie about the existence of metahumans and that he knows who The Flash is, but that The Flash saved their lives.
Dr. Wells promises Caitlin they will bring Ronnie home.
Barry has a snow -globe of Tower Bridge in London, that belonged to his mom. She got it while she was traveling Europe after college.
Cisco figures out - based on Barry's memories of the night his mother was killed - that there must have been two speedsters present: The Man In The Yellow Suit and another one.
Dr. Wells has a ring with a Flash insignia that is used to open a second closet in his secret closet. This closet contains The Reverse Flash costume . At the end of the episode, he fits the costume with a harness utilizing the tachyon device from Mercury Labs.
There is a painful attempt to try and pair up the series' only two female characters for a scene in order to pass the Bechdel Test. Too bad the only thing Iris and Caitlin have in common to talk about together is Barry Allen and Iris's blog entries on The Burning Man.
A fitting mid-season conclusion that advances all the major plot-lines without really resolving any of them. Just when we think we have the answers, we're left with more questions. And that is as it should be in both science and in science fiction.


Get ready mommy bloggers (gag!). For both Party conventions HLN, in partnership with CafeMom, will be looking at the "mom" angle of the election.
Anchor Kyra Phillips is set to host panels at the conventions of mom delegates to hear their opinions on gun control, rising tuition costs and maternity leave among other things their husbands never wanted to hear them talk about.
Seventy-one percent said they're more concerned with the "short-term" problems the country is facing.
Sixty-nine percent support raising taxes on millionaires as a means to reduce the deficit; 65 percent oppose raising taxes on all Americans.
CafeMom's election correspondent Lindsay Ferrier will be hustling around the country reporting from battleground states on moms and their thoughts about the election.
Let's just hope someone is listening.


French impressionist painter Gustave Caillebotte is well known for his works The Parquet Planers (1875) and Paris, A Rainy Day (1877), but it is his depiction of a half-dressed (for the time) brunette woman at her dressing table which has caught our inspiration-hunting eye this week. Painted in 1873, this work precedes his most recognised pieces but deserves accolades of its own. Part of the neo-impressionist movement, Caillebotte's style was more realistic than many of his peers. Woman at a Dressing Table is one of his first works, painted in the same year that he entered the École des Beaux Arts, though he reputedly did not stay long.
Why is this particular painting of such interest? Though a simple scene, there are many style notes to take, from unusual use of paint to design ideas that have fallen from the mainstream but need to be rethought. Take, for example, the dressing table itself. A white-painted wooden structure with a beautiful gathered curtain underneath. Modern updates have replaced such curtains with cabinets, but the pink fabric gives a luxurious and romantic feel to the room. Such dressing tables are hard to come by these days, but they can be custom made by the wonderful team at Scumble Goosie. Founder Jon Madeley advises that 'it would be handmade in solid fruitwood (mango) to whatever size required' and with a fabric of your choosing. To match Caillebotte's depiction, we suggest Ian Mankin's 'Ealing Stripe' in pink or the tightly woven linen dusky pink 'Chelsea'.
The walls provide another interesting idea via the vibrant pink stripe above the dado rail. There are two ways to implement such a feature at home: paint or wallpaper. The former could be harder, but more rewarding as you have total control over colour (just be sure to employ use of a spirit level and a lot of Frog Tape to ensure a good, straight, clean line). Little Greene's 'Rubine Ashes' paint would serve as a soft light-grey base with 'Rangwali' by Farrow & Ball providing the bright stripe. For wallpaper, Cole & Son has a border strip that would work well, just be sure to make sure the neutral colour blends seamlessly into the rest of the wall.
Caillebotte's woman is stood atop a floral-looking carpet. ABC Home has an Oushak wool rug in similar neutral tones that would achieve the same effect, or Anthropologie's tufted Bettina rug works well, for a lower budget and brighter overall effect. Top your dressing table with an antique porcelain or enamel wash basin and jug set, available in nearly every antique store or Soho Home do a lovely enamel pitcher. For a finishing boudoir-esque touch, employ an ever-luxurious Ciré Trudon candle and add an antique Louis XVI mirror and there you have your perfect French dressing room.

So you love shopping right! But are you really shopping wisely or are you just passing some time in the mall? Here's the thing, think of shopping like a sport – yes, I'm so serious! Like any athelete, your goal is to win, and when shopping you want to also win, by scoring that piece. Your goal can either be a new dress for a party, basic pieces to build your wardrobe or it can be that time of the year when you're ready to splurge on an investment item. Whatever your case is, we all have a goal in mind, or we should at least.
So let's get right to it, see my list on how you can shop smarter like a pro. Also leave some of your shopping tips in the comments below, I want to hear them!
I will admit, many times in the past I will find myself just wondering in the mall, just to see what's in stores. During lunch breaks are killers because shopping becomes something to do to past time. You then just end up spending money on items just because it's on sale. So not a good use of your time or money, so cut this habit out. Always have a plan on what your goal is on your shopping trips. Write down which items you want, which stores you will visit and what your budget will be. Write it down in your notes on your phone, so that you have it written down and you have to stick to it.
This one should be obvious, but we're all guilty of it, including myself. You are more likely to go over your budget when you shop with your debit or credit card. So instead, once you have decided on your budget withdraw that amount from your account and walk with that cash instead. If at anytime during your shopping trip you want to withdraw more money, that is your red flag that you will go over budget. If you want to be really strict, leave the debit and credit cards at home.
Shopping on an empty stomach or when you're tired will leave you irritable, impatient and you're not in a state of mind to make the best decisions. The last thing you want to do is to get convinced by a sales rep into buying something you didn't really need because you just dont have the energy to make that decision yourself. Plus when you shop on an empty stomach, stopping to buy food to eat will only cut into your shopping time. Only shop when you're fully energized and you have a full stomach. Happy belly, happy shopper!
I will never understand those who never want to try things on. They would always say 'oh that looks like it will fit'. Pardon me? I mean there are certain items like t-shirts or tank tops where you can get away with not trying them on. Otherwise, I cannot stress enough how important it is to try things on because a jeans in Zara will not fit the same way jeans would in Levis. Changerooms are there and even though they can be a bit overwhelming at times, trust me stick it out and wait in line. The last thing you want is to go back to exchange for a different size and who knows your actual size may not even be there anymore. Get in, try it on and get it right the first time.
The best thing you can do for your shopping experience is to shop alone. Yes shopping with your girlfriend can be a great bonding time, but when you have a goal in mind, a shopping partner can be a distraction. This also cuts out the decision making process when you don't have to look to someone else for their opinion. Trust your own decisions because you're the one who is going to live with your purchase. If you both have the same taste, you may have to debate over who gets that last sweater on the rack. Vice versa, if you have completely different tastes expect your shopping trip to last longer. You will have to compromise by visiting the stores ahe likes to shop at. So make your shopping trips a personal experience where you can get to know what you like and don't like.


Click on this picture to see the story of the Grinch!
I fell in love with American Sign Language many years ago. I cannot dance well with my feet, but I can make my hands dance with sign. It is a wonderful, expressive language. Watch this clip with your children and help them to read the signs. Ask your children to describe how each character in the story feels. This young girl is a genius at expressing emotions through signs.
I recommend you go to the site that posted this clip.
ASLnook is designed by this young girl's parents and has a wealth of resources to connect the spoken word to the signed word.
When I taught kindergarten and first grade, I used sign language to help children to develop language skills. I even did some research that indicated sign language helped my students to learn to read. Exploring another language helps children to develop their first language.
As you explore sign language with your children help them to understand that children that are different from them are not defective. God did not create this child and then say "Oops, I forgot to give her hearing!" God creates His children just the way they are.
And He loves them just the way they are - no more, no less.
Exposure to different languages not only enhances your child's intelligence, but it enhances the skill of empathy. Through this process, differences can become something interesting with the potential for learning and friendship instead of the threat of fear.

Q: Contravariant Value Types I have created this interface for my Repositories.
public interface IRepository<T, in TKey> where T: class
{
    IEnumerable<T> Find(Expression<Func<T, bool>> predicate);
    IEnumerable<T> FindAll();
    T FindSingle(TKey id);
    void Create(T entity);
    void Delete(T entity);
    void Update(T entity);
}

The FindSingle method accepts an ID, which will be used for searching on Primary Key. By using in I expected that I would only be allowed to pass a reference type as TKey. Out of curiosity I decided to create a concrete class and specify it as an int, so I could see the exception.
I looked up MSDN and it specifies this should not work

Covariance and contravariance in generic type parameters are supported for reference types, but they are not supported for value types.

The class I created looks like this
public class ProjectRepository : IRepository<Project,int>
{
    public IEnumerable<Project> Find(Expression<Func<Project, bool>> predicate)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public IEnumerable<Project> FindAll()
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public Project FindSingle(int id)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public void Create(Project entity)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public void Delete(Project entity)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public void Update(Project entity)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

Why did I not get an exception on build having specified TKey as a value type? Also, If I removed the in from my parameter what have I lost? the MSDN document says that the contravariance allows using a less derived type, but surely by removing in I can pass any type in as it is still generic.
This is maybe displaying a lack of understanding on contravariance and covariance but it has me  a little confused.

A: Covariance and contravariance don't make as much sense on value types, because they are all sealed. Though it's not clear from the documentation, it is valid to use a struct as a co/contravariant type, it's just not always useful. The documentation you reference is most likely referring to that the following is not valid:
public struct MyStruct<in T>

Contravariance means that you can do something like the following example:
IRepository<string, Base> b = //something
IRepository<string, Derived> d = b;

Since there's nothing that derives from int, you can use an IRepository<string, int>, but only as an IRepository<string, int>.
Covariance means that you can do the reverse, e.g. IEnumerable<T> is out T, which is covariant. You can do the following:
IEnumerable<Derived> d = //something
IEnumerable<Base> b = d;

If you're trying to restrict both TKey and T to classes (reference types), you should include a second restriction:
public interface IRepository<T, in TKey>
    where T : class
    where TKey : class

A: Indeed, you are missing the whole point of co- and contravariance :-) It is about being able to assign a variable of a generic type to another variable of the same generic type but with differing generic type argument(s) that are related to the ones used in the source.
Depending on whether the generic type parameter is co- or contravariant, different assignments are allowed.
Assume the following interface:
public interface IRepository<in T>
{
    void Save(T value);
}

Additionally, assume the following interface along with a value type and a reference type that implement it:
public interface IBar
{
}

public struct BarValueType : IBar
{
}

public class BarReferenceType : IBar
{
}

Finally, assume two variables:
IRepository<BarReferenceType> referenceTypeRepository;
IRepository<BarValueType> valueTypeRepository;

Contravariance now means that you can assign an instance of IRepository<IBar> to the variable referenceTypeRepository, because BarReferenceType implements IBar.
The section from the MSDN you quote simply means that the assignment of an instance of IRepository<IBar> to valueTypeRepository is not legal, although BarValueType also implements IBar.

A: There is no problem in implementing your interface with a value type. You will only get an error when trying to assign an IRepository<Project, object> to a IRepository<Project, int>, for example. In the following code, the last assignment won't compile:

Variance applies only to reference types; if you specify a value type
  for a variant type parameter, that type parameter is invariant for the
  resulting constructed type.

The SPLC: A Twisted Definition of 'Hate'
The Watchdogs, Part 1
FBI Promotes SPLC While Board Member Honors Cop Killer
Exclusive to SPLC Watch
The FBI is promoting the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center, even though the group's leaders have written for the Communist Party, honored a convicted cop-killer, and praised a radical anti-American terrorist who planted bombs at the Pentagon, the U.S. Capitol, and police stations.
The FBI's official web site displays a page on "hate crimes" that provides a direct Internet link to the SPLC's own web site. That's where anti-American terror bomber Bill Ayers, leader of the '60s-era militant Weather Underground terrorist organization that planted bombs targeting police stations, is praised as "fighting for social justice" and described as a "highly respected figure" who has "developed a rich vision."
Ayers told the New York Times in 2011, "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough." Ayers is described by SPLC as a Vietnam War-era "anti-war activist," even though Ayers, far from opposing the war, actively worked for Communist North Vietnam's victory over the U.S. His political manifesto, "Prairie Fire" is dedicated to Sirhan Sirhan, the convicted assassin of Robert F. Kennedy. He said he considers himself a "small c" communist.
SPLC "senior fellow" Mark Potok, director of the group's "intelligence project," has written for the Communist Party's official online publication, the People's World.
SPLC's friendliness with Ayers is not the organization's only association with cop-haters. SPLC board member James Rucker apparently has a soft spot for cop-killers. Rucker is founder and chairman of ColorofChange.org, which vows to honor the memory of convicted cop-killer Troy Davis who was executed by the state of Georgia for the murder of police officer Mark MacPhail in Savannah. In an email to members signed by Rucker, ColorofChange said it was "saddened to have to report that the Georgia Board of Pardons and Parole refused to grant clemency for Troy Davis…" Rucker's ColorofChange said on its homepage, "Rest in peace, Troy. We honor your memory by continuing the work."

The first ever researchED conference to be held in Italy is taking place at St George's British International School, Rome, on Saturday 26 October 2019.
Attending a researchED conference gives educators the opportunity to hear from leading researchers and educational practitioners. In doing so, educators can consider how they might wish to adapt or improve their practice based upon what is known to work within the field of education. The conference is open to teachers from within Italy, from across Europe, and beyond.


The design of engaging digital access to collections and the creation of opportunities for richer collaborations with an informed online public are key recommendations for developing the GLAM sector's digital future (Mansfield et al., 2014). This presentation discusses Play it Again's Popular Memory Archive (PMA) (http://playitagainproject.org/), an online exhibition of Australian and New Zealand videogames of the 1980s, which is intended to elicit recollections from those who played their way through the era. We propose that curatorial practice of videogames can be advanced through an examination of the vernacular models and practices developed by online retrogame communities.
Play It Again is an Australia Research Council-funded game history and preservation project focused on locally written digital games in Australia and New Zealand in the 1980s. Researchers from Flinders University (Adelaide), The University of Melbourne, and Victoria University (Wellington) are working in collaboration with the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI), Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision (formerly the New Zealand Film Archive), and the Berlin Computerspiele Museum.
In October 2013, we launched the Popular Memory Archive, an online collaborative research portal and exhibition. The site provides a way to disseminate some of the team's research, but as important, it provides a mechanism for collecting information, resources, and memories from the public about 1980s' computer games. Conceived of as both an exhibition about local games and a research tool that capitalizes on participatory culture, the online archive is an example of what a local collection of games might look like and how Museum 2.0 might work with online knowledge communities. It addresses the need to look beyond the conservation of the physical objects to document the experiences of play, as well as a sense of the social and cultural reception of these works.


The Escapists is a top down RPG puzzle game, created by Mouldy Toof Studios and published by Team17 Digital, available for Windows with an Xbox One version coming February 13th. Chris Wallace previously did a preview article for the site on the Steam version of the game which you can check out here.
The goal of the game is simple; Escape from prison. Simple right? Actually from a variety of prisons with different layouts and routines; so I suppose you could pretend to be Stallone's character from The Escape Plan, minus having Arnold Schwarzenegger for a BFF. By finding weak spots and crafting a variety of items you must plan the perfect escape before the monotony of prison life drives you insane.
The game is relentless to the impatient and demands your full commitment and patience. If you're found with contraband once, all you're tunnels are found and sealed. This does lead to a huge flaw in the game's difficulty, regarding how you can be caught. If you steal a guard's key or leave an open hole then they automatically catch you. Even if you're hidden in a vent, BAM! Straight into solitary and you're hole is gone. If the guard's physically touch you that's one thing, but to end your plan automatically like that just seems unfair.
If they found your tunnel and came after you then that's one thing, or sealed up the hole that they found, but it's more the case that they see a hole and instantly teleport you into a cell. Though this does create a huge amount of tension; a master plan can fall apart in a fraction of a second. You need to know when to take risks and when to play it safe, working on the long game. Hell it's so hard that I haven't completed the first level; I spent so many hours and came up with so many plans, only to have them fall apart and land me on square one! It's both a frustrating and addictive experience.
The other inmates are another factor to contend with; they will ask you for favours, hold grudges, can be traded with, and can even be recruited into your own little prison crew. This goes for the guards too, who will distrust you if you get caught breaking the rules., but can be bribed by using coins earned through jobs and requests.
Prison is full of side tasks, like jobs to earn money while granting you access to areas with items you might need, like a metal press where you can get sheet metal from or the laundry where you can sneak out a guard's uniform. There's also the internet and libraries where you can increase your intelligence which let you create new items and make you capable of doing new jobs. There's also weights and running machines to make you faster and stronger, letting you beat up enemies more easily and escape pursuing guards if necessary.
Violence is rarely a good solution, unless it's backed up with a strategy, like waiting until night to avoid the snipers and escaping through a ready and waiting tunnel to get to the main entrance which opens when you defeat all the guards at once.
The game has a great mood too, with a simple but detailed 8-bit style, and some great music which changes depending on the time of the day, my favourite being the funky dinner time music.
Overall, The Escapists is a complex game with a great mood, despite a difficulty that feels unfair at times. But the difficulty and addictive nature guarantees that you'll be playing this for a long, LONG time.

The idea, while new for the Times, isn't new for podcasting. Last year audio streaming service TuneIn launched its First Play program, which gave users access to shows from WNYC Studios, HowStuffWorks, and Gimlet up to a week early. (Taking advantage of the early access, however, required the use of the TuneIn app, which likely limited the number of people who opted in.) Gimlet has also used the prospect of early access to new shows to entice people to sign up for its membership program.
The Times has yet to iron out all the details of Caliphate, such has how much earlier subscribers will get access to new episodes of the show. A Times spokesperson said that the company will have more to share as the show approaches its launch this spring.

Parents do make a difference. Their values, beliefs, and actions are often seen in their children. Because of this truth, our ministry to teens needs also to be a family ministry. As such, we look forward to developing relationships with our parents in order to support them in their responsibility of training their children in the ways of God.
Our parents have organized a Booster Club to help support our athletic and activity programs. Any parent is welcome to volunteer; officers are elected each year.


We've seen SandForce-based solid state drives become very popular over the last couple of years, as prices have continued to drop and consumers are taking notice of the impressive overall system boost that SSDs can offer. Today we will be taking a close look at a mid-range drive from Patriot, the Pyro SE 240GB SATA 3. This drive falls in-between Patriot's top drive, the Wildfire (with toggle NAND), and their original Pyro, which features more cost effective asynchronous NAND internals.
The Patriot Pyro SE SSD is available in 60, 120 and 240GB capacities. Specifications list the 240GB as having 550MB/s read and 520MB/s write with 85,000 IOPS at 4k random write aligned disk access. The Patriot Pyro SE is TRIM-compatible, as well as backward compatible to SATA 2. It also comes with a respectable 3 year warranty, so it looks very competitive on paper.
Let's jump in and see how the Patriot Pyro SE performs.


This book is as good as a holiday. What could be more agreeable than to wander through the best little museums in Europe in the company of such a guide as James Stourton of Sotheby's? This is a cosmopolitan book, which not only takes us to Paris and Vienna, but to Humlebaek on the Danish Coast (the Louisiana Museum) and Winterthur (not H. F. duPont's American furniture collection in Delaware, but the Oskar Reinhart Collection in Switzerland).
Everyone is likely to have visited some of the museums, not least because they include some London examples. But visitors to the Mauritshuis in the Hague may not know the star-studded Kröller-Muller Museum in Gelderland.
Restricting the book to just 35 museums must have challenged Mr Stourton: it could easily have been filled with examples from Paris alone. But the discipline of the selection adds to the reader's pleasure, for this is the crème de la crème. And even within its tight confines, the variety is remarkable. The Musee d'Unterlinden is included for one masterpiece – Grunewald's Isenheim altarpiece – just as the Picasso Museum at Antibes and the Salvador Dali-Theatre Museum at Figueres are focused on a single artist. The Lenbachaus in Munich, which ought to celebrate the oeuvre of its founder, Franz von Lenbach, is much more visited for the collections given after his death. The Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna is still part of an art school.
Most of these museums, however, reflect the passions of individual collectors. One of the most remarkable is the Princes Czartoryski Museum in Krakow, founded as a national pantheon of Polish history and endeavour, yet famous for one of the greatest masterpieces of Renaissance art, Leonardo's Lady with an Ermine. Out of piety, Mr Stourton also illustrates the gorgeous Raphael Portrait of a Youth which disappeared during the Second World War. What a pity the publishers were unable to prevent some of the Polish letters seeping into the rest of the text.

John Kneer, president of Rettler Corporation, points out a detail in the draft final site plan for the Hodag Sports Complex Tuesday during a presentation to the School District of Rhinelander capital projects committee.
School district will seek city approval of Hodag Sports Complex site plan Dec. 9
River News Reporter
The design of the Hodag Sports Complex, to include an air-supported dome, is entering the final stages. Members of the School District of Rhinelander administration, the district's capital projects ad hoc committee and the design team from Rettler Corporation, the firm designing and managing the massive construction project, spent more than two hours Tuesday morning reviewing the site plan and delving deep into the details.
The site plan is scheduled to be reviewed by the city of Rhinelander planning commission Dec. 3, and discussed by the full City Council Dec. 9, so time is ticking away on making changes to the design of the fields, dome and the buildings that will make up the complex.
The real deadline is Jan. 10 when the Board of Education will vote on the final plan, locking everything in so that bids for the construction of the athletic complex can be sent out. The bids will be opened Feb. 13, 2020, with board acceptance expected in March. The groundbreaking is set for March 25, 2020.
The dome will be completed and operational by the fall of 2020 while the softball fields are expected to be ready for play in the spring of 2021, according to the district's schedule.
In June, the school board voted to authorize up to $5.7 million from the general fund to be earmarked for the dome.
By the end of August, the Rhinelander Schools Foundation had raised a total of $1.65 million in private donations, some earmarked for the dome and some for the athletic complex as a whole. There are also some funds raised by the RHS softball and the girls softball association that are going directly to the softball field in the complex.
Rettler president John Kneer attended the meeting in person while key members of the design team from his firm and Arizon Building Systems, which is manufacturing the dome, took part via conference call. The group also viewed the latest renderings of the project, based on feedback from the ad hoc committee, including a detailed look at how the dome will connect to the existing concession stand building at Mike Webster Stadium through an addition to the building..
The biggest change to the master plan for the entire project was the elimination of the junior varsity baseball field, which will be built in front of the high school next to the tennis courts. The area on the west side of the complex will be practice area in warmer months and will be used for the storage of snow cleared from the parking lot behind the high school and around the dome during the winter.
"We're working to keep this open practice space, football or soccer practice," Kneer said Tuesday. "It can accommodate either sport."
Kneer said one-and-a-half grass fields could fit in the area.
The rest of the design was similar to the initial plans outlined in late July.
The expanded parking for the complex will be next to James Williams Middle School. From there, a walkway will lead patrons to a central plaza next to the concession stand where they can enter the stadium or the dome.
A new, two-window ticket box with a gate on either side will be built running off the addition, allowing for the sale of tickets to adults for sporting events in the stadium. Entry to the dome would be through the addition in a long vestibule that would open into a large gathering area. This area would allow access to the locker rooms in the existing building as well as the dome office. The main public airlock connections into the dome will also be in this area. One will be through a turnstile while the other will be a more traditional door.
The connection from the addition to the dome, rather than being a fabric, will be a metal panel structure that will match the building "and give a very uniform look."
"That will be hard structure rather than fabric," Kneer explained, noting that a three-hour fire wall separates the two buildings.
There will be three entry points to the dome, one on the opposite end nearest the high school, and the other on the south side. The one closest to RHS would allow physical education teachers to bring classes in during inclement weather. The southern entrance is a vehicle airlock for bringing in sport specific items that can't be left in the dome. This material will be kept in a 2,000 square foot storage building next to this entry point and brought into the dome on trailers.
Golf carts would then pull the trailers where they are needed once inside the dome.
This area will also be where the electrical and natural gas hub, along with an electrical and mechanical room, is located. The inflation units for the dome would be located in the same area, along with machinery for HVAC, and a backup generator.
The backup generator is key to the dome.
"That will keep the air handling units and inflation units functioning during power outages," Kneer said, adding that the generator will also be able to provide power to the main connection/concession building during these times.
Drainage away from the dome and outdoor practice field, as well as the softball fields, will be handled by a network of underground piping.
"On the south practice field, there is going to be a network of surface drains and under drainage to collect water," Kneer said. "There is going to be a lot of runoff. The dome itself is going to have a slot drain all the way around it. Hopefully we can catch most of the water as it sheets off."
It is hoped that by sloping the runoff from the dome into the underground drainage system, the water won't flood the walkway around the building next to this slot drain.
"For melting and runoff from the rain, all of it is going to get into that slot drain," Rettler said.
There will be a system under the playing field in the dome to pump water from underneath it during rain events.
Getting everything level is going to be quite the undertaking, especially when taking into account known groundwater sources, it was explained.
"There is significant grade drop from the existing concession/restroom building to the west side (of where the dome will be erected)," Kneer said. "And we're putting in a 500-plus-foot level projection out into the site, that does generate quite a bit of fill and quite a bit of grade transition here. So we've comfortably worked out those grade transitions to be 6:1, they do get a little tighter on the north side, 4:1 slopes as we get down to grade on the farther west side of the building. And we do slope down on the far west side, gently. It's not a sheer drop- off."
The total drop in elevation from the east side to west on the site is 8 feet.
To get the entire site level will take 25,000 yards of imported fill, Kneer said.
Kneer also noted that detailed preliminary plans have been reviewed by the city inspection and fire departments to make sure their concerns for the entire complex were addressed.
This includes having a paved drive that would allow the Rhinelander Fire Department to get a fire engine almost all the way around the dome.
"We have these little flare outs (at the corners) to allow the large ladder truck or other fire protection or emergency response vehicles and also for snow removal," Kneer said.
He also noted a code review showed there is no need to install a sprinkler system in either the dome or the central connection building.

With a project of this size shoudn't the tax payers of the school district have a vote? We have to vote on referenda periodically to keep the schools funded, why not a vote on this?

The Digital Signage Insider
Calculating Digital Signage ROI: 3 Metrics that Matter
Picking up where we left off last time (in "Calculating Digital Signage ROI: Understanding the Limits of Your Data"), I'd like to focus on some specific metrics that might be useful to digital signage network owners trying to discern the true value of their systems. While there are probably thousands of different variables that you could choose to analyze, I've picked 3 tried-and-true marketing statistics that exist outside of the digital signage world to show that even though our medium may be new, some of the ways to analyze it are as old as the hills.
Metric 1: CPM
Ah, CPM, the granddaddy of marketing statistics. A three-letter acronym for Cost Per Thousand viewers, CPM shows its age by having part of its name written in Latin ("M" is the Roman numeral for 1,000). While many people debate the value of CPM metrics in today's era of Tivo ad-skipping and Internet clickthroughs, I maintain that CPM is useful simply because there is such a vast quantity of CPM data available that we can use to establish baselines and normalize our data. Basically, the way to calculate CPM goes something like this: get the average weekly traffic numbers from your venue. For the sake of this example, let's say that our sample retailer has 5,000 customers each week, based on register sales and quarterly audits. To keep the example simple, we'll also assume that the average customer spends 10 minutes in the store, and our digital signage content loop is 10 minutes long, consisting of 100% advertising. Thus, on average, every customer in the store would see each ad in the loop about once. Finally, assume that a single spot in the loop costs $150 per week. We can thus calculate that each impression costs about $0.03 ($150/5,000), so the cost per thousand is about $30.00.
Metric 2: Impressions
Very similar to CPM is the notion of impressions. Instead of tracking only the number of unique people that see an ad, impressions is a way of measuring the number of times that any given person sees the same ad (even if they've seen it more than once). For example, let's use our scenario above. Once again, our sample retailer has 5,000 customers each week, and the average customer spends 10 minutes in the store. Our digital signage content loop is 10 minutes long, consisting of 100% advertising. Once again, each impression costs about $0.03 and our cost per thousand visitors is about $30.00. However, what if the average visit length was really 20 minutes instead of ten? In that case, each viewer would see each ad an average of twice. Now, even though our CPM is exactly the same (since it's the same number of visitors as before), our cost per impression has been halved, to only $0.015 per impression.
How do we tell whether it's better to use CPM or impressions? Well, like everything else, it depends. In this case, it depends on what you, the digital signage network owner, are trying to sell. If your network places screens in high-traffic areas with short average visit duration, a CPM-based pricing system probably makes the most sense for you, since it more accurately describes the kind of traffic that you have and the kind of impact that you're going to be able to make. On the other hand, if you have a captive audience that tends to stay in the venue longer, you'll be able to present the same (or similar) content to your audience several times in a single visit. In this case, it might make sense to measure impressions, and price your network out that way.
Metric 3: Immediate feedback response
There's no generally accepted term for what I call immediate feedback response, or IFR, even though it's an extremely common method of measuring different kinds of out-of-home marketing and advertising campaigns. In an IFR system, the marketer uses some kind of simple but measurable feedback system to record the presence of a user, and then uses that conversion number (e.g. the number of viewers who were converted from passive viewers to active participants) as the basis for other measurements, like sales conversions, brand recall, and so on. For example, imagine a digital POP display that instructed the viewer to take a free recipe card from a stack beneath the monitor. By recording the number of recipe cards given out, and the frequency with which the stacks need to be replenished, a retailer can gauge (with reasonable accuracy) how many people are paying attention to the signage. This technique can yield more accurate results than just using baseline traffic data, and more importantly, it helps demonstrate who's looking at the signage, instead of who's just walking past it. The key to a successful IFR experiment is to keep the feedback loop short, simple and attractive to the viewer. If it's challenging or time-consuming for your viewers to respond to your promotion, they won't.
These are three of the quickest and easiest metrics to investigate, and they require relatively little activity on the part of the store owner (which can be critical, since getting owners or managers to do extra work for you is not always going to be an option). As I mentioned before, the metric that you choose to track will be highly dependent upon the type of network that you run, the frequency and duration of your content, and the kind of audience that you are hoping to attract and appeal to. And in some cases, you might need to track something completely different than the metrics I use above. However, these should serve as a good baseline, and we'll use them as examples in the next installment of this article, Calculating Digital Signage ROI: Methods to Gather your Data.

Have you received a speeding or traffic ticket in or near Beverly Hills, MO? Are you now unsure as to what you should do next? Are you aware of what the consequences are for pleading guilty to the ticket? Did you know that there is a very good chance that you can get the traffic ticket reduced to something that will not adversely affect your record?
When you get a traffic ticket in Beverly Hills, MO, it is far better to have an experienced attorney handle it for you. If you simply sign the back of the ticket, and mail in the associated fine, then you will have plead guilty to the charge of speeding (or whatever infraction the ticket alleges). When this happens, the state can assess points to your permanent driving record. The reason why is because speeding (or running a stop sign, or an improper lane change, etc.) is a moving violation. A moving violation is an infraction for which points can be assessed. "Points" are like little red flags that make it look as if you are a bad driver.
But our goal is to keep points off of your record. Points can lead to higher automobile insurance rates, and too many points (especially over a short period of time) can result in a suspension of your driver's license. Our team will work closely with the local prosecutor to get the Beverly Hills, MO traffic ticket reduced to a non-moving violation (and therefore no points). In addition, we are almost always successful in making sure that you do not have to make an appearance in court over the matter.
Beverly Hills, MO is a city within St. Louis County, and was established in 1933. It has a City Garden near Hunter, and has a population of about 570 people.

Tikves lake is located 12km south-west of Kavadarci on the River Crna or 3km from the village Vozarci. The Tikves lake was developed in 1968 (the oldest artificial lake in Macedonia) by directing the waters of the Crna river and building a 104m high dam. The dam is built of stones and it is 338m long. Tikves lake is the largest artificial lake in Republic of Macedonia. The Tikves lake covers an area of 14km2 and 29km with a capacity of 475 million m3 water. The water of the Tikves lake is used for irrigation and deriving electricity.
The irrigation is performed by the hydro-system Tikves and in the vicinity of the dam the hydroelectric plant "Tikves" is located. The Tikves lake is rich with fish. Most dominant is the sheat-fish that can reach the size of 2m.
On the shore of the lake is the Monastery Polog and the church St. Gjorgi, a significant monument of culture from 14th century richly decorated with frescoes. It is assumed that it dates back to 9th century because the architectural style is very similar to the architectural style of the churches of Ohrid. A big quantity of water from the lake is released during the summer just to prevent an environmental disaster of the fauna in this river because of the low water level.
Thanks to the irrigation Tikves Lake made Tikves a real oasis with endless vineyards and orchards. Today Tikves Lake with its micro-climate establishes itself as an recreational and tourist resort.

Q: Determine where h(x) := x $\lvert x \rvert$ is differentiable from R to R. Determine where h(x) := x $\lvert x \rvert$ is differentiable from R to R.
Not totally sure how to start this.
Much appreciation,
Jesse

A:
If at all possible. The first thing to do is graph the function and see if it looks differentiable.
 Let $f(x) = x |x|$
Case 1. If $x > 0$, then $f(x) = x^2$, which is differentiable.
So $f(x)$ is differentiable on $(0,\infty)$
Case 2. If $x < 0$, then $f(x) = -x^2$, which is differentiable. So $f(x)$ is differentiable on $(-\infty, 0)$
Case 3. If $x = 0$, then the derivative as $x\rightarrow 0^+=0$ and the derivative as $x\rightarrow 0^-=0$. So $f'(0) = 0$.
Hence f is differentiable on all of $\mathbb R$.

A: Hint Note that $h(x) = x^2$ for $x \geq 0$ and $h(x) = -x^2$ otherwise. Can you check if this is continuous? Does it have a derivative?

A: The only possible place where $h(x)$ may fail to be differentiable is $x=0$.  So consider
$$lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x|x|}{x}.$$
Does this limit exist? If so, $h(x)$ is differentiable everywhere.

Q: IQueryable iteration: do I need ToListAsync()? I have this code
foreach (var e in await database.Entities.Where(...).ToListAsync())

As far as I understand, this code have an unneeded overhead of copying the query results into the newly created list, which I do not need. I need to just iterate over the result once, and I'm quite ok if it will remain in the EF internal structures.
On the other hand I can use this
foreach (var e in database.Entities.Where(...))

but this code will run synchronously, which can also have some unexpected performance impact.
What is the best way to get the results asynchronously, with no redundant copy?

A:
this code have an unneeded overhead of copying the query results into the newly created list, which I do not need

Yes, but it's a list of reference types. It's not copying any of the entity objects themselves or anything like that, just a list of references, which is extremely fast and doesn't use up much memory.

What is the best way to get the results asynchronously, with no redundant copy?

Asynchronous streams. But they're not available for EF yet. So the best way to do it today is ToListAsync.

Wisconsin Delegation to Israel Returns Home After Successful Trade Mission
November 15, 2017 | Global, In the News, The Water Council Updates, Water Technology District
Posted by the WEDC on Nov 2, 2017
Governor Scott Walker, Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation Secretary and CEO Mark R. Hogan, and the rest of the 16-member Wisconsin delegation are returning to Wisconsin Thursday after a successful trade mission to Israel that focused on developing new partnerships in the water technology sector.
On the trade mission's final full day, The Water Council signed two agreements that will increase collaboration and establish new partnerships between Wisconsin and Israel.
The Water Council and the Zuckerberg Institute for Water Research at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev signed an agreement that calls for collaboration on water-related applied research aimed at introducing new technologies into the global marketplace through Wisconsin's National Science Foundation sponsored Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Water Equipment and Policy (WEP).
The Water Council and the Israel Innovation Authority also signed an agreement to develop a new research partnership in which Israeli and Wisconsin water technology startups will collaborate on piloting and developing new applications for the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) and other Wisconsin water utilities.
The agreements were signed in separate ceremonies in Tel Aviv and at Ben-Gurion University in Beer-Sheva on Thursday.
"These agreements will further enhance Wisconsin's international reputation as a global leader in water technology by forging new partnerships that will pay dividends in the long run," said Governor Walker. "These partnerships will strengthen the sector in both countries, and are expected to open new markets to water technology companies in Wisconsin and Israel."
Brett Peters from UW-Milwaukee, Karen Frost and Dean Amhaus from The Water Council, and Kevin Shafer from the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District outside of the Israel Innovation Authority after the MOU signing.
"For the past year The Water Council has laid the groundwork for the development of these vitally important agreements, which will result in bringing together our two world water technology hubs," said Dean Amhaus, president and CEO of The Water Council. "The partnership with Ben-Gurion University lays the foundation for creating the first I/UCRC presence for the National Science Foundation in Israel and fosters greater business and academic collaboration. The agreement with the Israel Innovation Authority offers tangible support for Israeli businesses seeking to conduct pilots with Wisconsin water utilities."
Wisconsin's leadership role in water technology also was the focus of an "Opportunity in Wisconsin" networking event held Wednesday in Tel Aviv for Israeli companies interested in establishing or expanding operations in the U.S. Governor Walker and Secretary Hogan provided attendees with information on opportunities to expand their businesses in Wisconsin and the benefits of investing in the state. At the event, hosted by SelectUSA, Amhaus gave a presentation on Wisconsin's global leadership role in the water technology sector.

The present application is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/055,422, filed Oct. 16, 2013, entitled BARCODED INDICATORS FOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,317,794, which is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/321,477, filed Jan. 17, 2012, entitled BARCODED INDICATORS FOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT, now U.S. Pat. No. 8,579,193, which is a National Phase Application of International Patent Application No. PCT/IL2010/000205, filed Mar. 10, 2010, entitled BARCODED INDICATORS FOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT, which claims priority of International Patent Application No. PCT/IL2009/000503, filed May 20, 2009 and entitled A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT UTILIZING BARCODE INDICATORS, from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/469,309, filed May 20, 2009 and entitled A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT UTILIZING BARCODE INDICATORS, now U.S. Pat. No. 8,091,776, from PCT Patent Application No. PCT/IL2009/001167, filed Dec. 9, 2009 and entitled BARCODE INDICATORS FOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT, and from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/231,799, filed Aug. 6, 2009 and entitled BARCODED INDICATORS FOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
Reference is made to U.S. Pat. No. 7,562,811, filed Sep. 10, 2007 and entitled "System And Method For Improved Quality Management In A Product Logistic Chain", to PCT Patent Application No. PCT/IL07/000547, filed May 6, 2007 and entitled "A System And Method For Improved Quality Management In A Product Logistic Chain", to PCT Patent Application No. PCT/IL07/01411, filed Nov. 14, 2007 and entitled "A System And Method For Quality Management Utilizing Barcode Indicators", to PCT Patent Application No. PCT/IL2008/001495, filed Nov. 13, 2008 and entitled "A System And Method For Quality Management Utilizing Barcode Indicators", to PCT Patent Application No. PCT/IL2008/001494, filed Nov. 13, 2008 and entitled "A System And Method For Quality Management Utilizing Barcode Indicators", to PCT Patent Application No. PCT/IL2009/000503, filed May 20, 2009 and entitled "A System And Method For Quality Management Utilizing Barcode Indicators" to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/469,309, filed May 20, 2009 and entitled "A System And Method For Quality Management Utilizing Barcode Indicators", to US Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/231,799, filed Aug. 6, 2009 and entitled "Barcoded Indicators For Quality Management" and to PCT Patent Application No. PCT/IL2009/001167, filed Dec. 9, 2009 and entitled "Barcode Indicators for Quality Management", the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
Preferably, the at least one interposed line extends along the entire length of the first and the second barcodes.
Preferably, the barcoded quality indicator further includes a coloring agent located at a first location on the indicator and a coloring agent pathway operative to allow the coloring agent to move, at a rate which is at least partially a function of time, from the first location to the first and second colorable areas for coloring thereof.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the quality indicator includes barcodes complying with GS1 (General Specifications) standards, which are outlined at www.gsl.org. According to GS1 standards, the three left-most digits are usually assigned to a country. In Israel, the seven, nine or ten left-most digits, including the country code, represent the supplier's code and the remaining right-most digits are used by each supplier. For example, as seen in the illustrated embodiments of the present application, the three left-most digits are 729, the GS1 country code assigned to Israel. The ten left-most digits, including the country code, represent a supplier's code and the three right-most digits are changeable by the supplier and combinations thereof are used in this application for indicating exceedance of thresholds.
It is appreciated that because only a portion of a barcode bar is missing in the unreadable state 171, the portion having a width of a single narrow barcode bar, the BCR level of barcode III in the unreadable state 171 is higher than that of barcode III in the unreadable state 142 described in FIGS. 1A-1H.
It is appreciated that because a space preferably having a width of a single narrow barcode bar located between the bars of barcode V in its readable state is filled in, the BCR level of barcode V in the unreadable state 273 is high, similar to the BCR level of barcode VI in the unreadable state 271 described in FIG. 2l.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention barcodes forming part of a quality indicator are each capable of indicating any numerical or alphanumerical sequence. Additionally or alternatively, barcodes forming part of a quality indicator are each capable of complying with any suitable barcode standard, including but not limited to EAN, UPC, 2 of 5 Interleaved, code 39, code 39 extended, code 93, code 93 extended, code 128, code 128 A, B and C, ISBN, Code bar and Data Matrix. Accordingly, different barcodes forming part of the same quality indicator can comply with different barcode standards. For example, a quality indicator can include a first barcode complying with the EAN 13 standard and a second barcode complying with the 2 of 5 Interleaved standard. Consequently, if the barcode reader of a checkout scanner is operative to read only the EAN 13 barcode standard, then, once the first barcode becomes unreadable, the indicator no longer presents a readable barcode to the checkout scanner. However, the indicator is still readable by a barcode reader operative to read the 2 of 5 Interleaved standard.
receiving said output indications; and interpreting said output indication to provide human sensible, product quality status outputs.
4. A method according to claim 3, wherein said first set of colorable areas continues to be colored following exceedance of said at least one threshold.
5. A method according to claim 4, wherein colorable areas forming part of at least one of said first set of colorable areas and said second set of colorable areas become colored sequentially.
6. A method according to claim 1, wherein said coloring agent pathway is operative to allow said coloring agent to move by diffusing from said first location to said first and said second colorable areas.
7. A method according to claim 1, wherein said at least one threshold includes at least one time threshold.
8. A method according to claim 1, wherein said at least one threshold includes at least one time and temperature threshold.
9. A method according to claim 1, wherein said quality indicator is operative to provide indications of exceedance of several different thresholds.
