El teléfono es un dispositivo de telecomunicación creado para transmitir señales acústicas a distancia por medio de señales eléctricas. Fue inventado por el italiano Antonio Meucci, quien en 1854 construyó su primer prototipo, aunque no formalizó su patente por dificultades económicas, presentando solo una breve descripción de su invento en la Oficina de Patentes de Estados Unidos el año de 1871.

Años después, en 1876, el escocés Alexander Graham Bell fue el primero en patentarlo formalmente, y durante muchos años, junto a Elisha Gray, fueron considerados los inventores del teléfono.

El 11 de junio de 2002, el Congreso de los Estados Unidos de América aprobó la resolución 269, en la que se reconoce que el verdadero inventor del teléfono fue Antonio Meucci, que lo llamó teletrófono.

Historia del teléfono

Historia de su invención

Antonio Meucci (1808-1889) fue el primer  inventor del  «teletrófono», posteriormente bautizado como «teléfono».

En 1854, Meucci construyó un aparato para conectar su oficina (en la planta baja de su casa) con su dormitorio (ubicado en el segundo piso), debido a que su esposa estaba inmovilizada por el reumatismo. Sin embargo, Meucci carecía del dinero suficiente para patentar su invento, aunque sí patentó otros inventos que él creía más rentables, como un filtro económico para la depuración del agua y el uso de la parafina en la fabricación de velas (que hasta ese momento se fabricaban con grasa de animales, muy contaminantes y sucias).

En 1860 Antonio Meucci hizo público su invento, el teletrófono. En una demostración pública, la voz de un cantante se trasmitió a una considerable distancia. La prensa italiana de Nueva York publicó una descripción del invento y un tal Sr. Bendelari se llevó a Italia una copia del prototipo y la documentación necesaria para producirlo allí, pero no se volvió a saber de él, como tampoco se materializó ninguna de las ofertas que surgieron tras la demostración.

Consciente de que alguien podía robarle la patente, pero incapaz de reunir los 250 dólares (unos 7900 dólares de 2016) que costaba la patente definitiva, tuvo que conformarse con un cáveat ('aviso', trámite preliminar de presentación de documentación para la patente, con vigencia de un año) que registró el 28 de diciembre de 1871 y que pudo permitirse renovar ―por 10 dólares (314 dólares de 2016)― solo en 1872 y 1873.

En cuanto tuvo el acuse de recibo de la Oficina de Patentes volvió a intentar demostrar el potencial de su invento. Para ello ofreció una demostración del «telégrafo parlante» a un empresario llamado Edward B. Grant, vicepresidente de una filial de la Western Union Telegraph Company. Cada vez que Meucci trataba de avanzar se le decía que no había hueco para su demostración, así que a los dos años, Meucci pidió que le devolvieran su material, a lo que le contestaron que se había perdido.

En 1876, Alexander Graham Bell registró una patente que realmente no describía el teléfono, pero lo mencionaba como tal. Cuando Meucci ―que vivía cerca de Nueva York― se enteró, pidió a un abogado que reclamara ante la Oficina de Patentes de los Estados Unidos en Washington, algo que nunca sucedió. Sin embargo, un amigo que tenía contactos en Washington se enteró de que toda la documentación referente al telégrafo parlante registrada por Meucci se había perdido.

Una investigación posterior puso en evidencia un delito de prevaricación por parte de algunos empleados de la Oficina de Patentes sobornados por la compañía de Bell. En un litigio posterior entre la empresa Bell Telephone Company (creada en 1877) y Western Union, afloró que existía un acuerdo por el cual Bell pagaría a la Western Union un 20 % de los beneficios derivados de la comercialización de su invento durante 17 años.

Diez años después, en un proceso legal de 1886, Meucci tuvo que demandar incluso a su propio abogado, sobornado por el poderoso Bell. Sin embargo Meucci supo hacer entender al juez que no cabía duda en cuanto a la autoría del invento registrado. A pesar de la declaración pública del entonces Secretario de Estado: «existen suficientes pruebas para dar prioridad a Meucci en la invención del teléfono».

A pesar de que el Gobierno de Estados Unidos inició acciones legales por fraude contra la patente de Alexander Graham Bell, el proceso embarrancó en el arenal de los recursos por los abogados de Bell, hasta cerrarse en 1889 debido a la muerte de Meucci.

Meucci falleció pobre y amargado y jamás vio la gloria y el reconocimiento de su talento, el cual chocó con su escaso conocimiento del inglés y su poca desenvoltura ante las artimañas legales y los ingentes intereses económicos de las grandes corporaciones de Estados Unidos.

El 11 de junio de 2002, el Boletín Oficial de la Cámara de Representantes de los Estados Unidos publicó la Resolución n.º 269, por la que se honra la vida y el trabajo del inventor italiano. En la misma se reconoce que fue Antonio Meucci en vez de Alexander Graham Bell quien inventó el teléfono. Reconoció además que Meucci demostró y publicó su invento en 1860 y concluye con un reconocimiento a su autoría en dicha invención.

Evolución del teléfono y su utilización

Desde su concepción original se han ido introduciendo mejoras sucesivas, fuese en el propio aparato telefónico como en los métodos y sistemas de explotación de la red.

En lo que se refiere al propio aparato telefónico, se pueden señalar varias cosas;
 La introducción del micrófono de carbón, que aumentaba de forma considerable la potencia emitida, y por tanto el alcance máximo de la comunicación.
 El dispositivo antilocal Luink, para evitar la perturbación en la audición causada por el ruido ambiente del local donde está instalado el teléfono.
 La marcación por pulsos mediante el denominado disco de marcar.
 La marcación por tonos multifrecuencia.
 La introducción del micrófono electret o electret, micrófono de condensador, prácticamente usado en todos los aparatos modernos, que mejora de forma considerable la calidad del sonido.

En cuanto a los métodos y sistemas de explotación de la red telefónica, se pueden señalar:

 La telefonía fija o convencional, que es aquella que hace referencia a las líneas y equipos que se encargan de la comunicación entre terminales telefónicos no portables, y generalmente enlazados entre ellos o con la central por medio de conductores metálicos.
 La central telefónica de conmutación manual para la interconexión mediante la intervención de un operador/a de distintos teléfonos (Harlond), creando de esta forma un primer modelo de red. Primeramente fueron las centrales manuales de batería local (teléfonos alimentados por pilas o baterías) y posteriormente fueron las centrales manuales de batería central (teléfonos alimentados desde la central).
 La introducción de las centrales telefónicas de conmutación automática, constituidas mediante dispositivos electromecánicos, de las que han existido, y en algunos casos aún existen, diversos sistemas: sistema de conmutación rotary (en España sistemas 7A1, 7A2, 7D, 7BR, AGF), y sistema con conmutador de barras cruzadas (En España: Sistemas Pentaconta 1000, PC32, ARF) y otros más complejos.
 Las centrales de conmutación automática electromecánicas, pero controladas por computadora (En España: Sistema MORE). También llamadas centrales semielectrónicas (en España: sistemas Pentaconta 2000, Metaconta, ARE).
 Las centrales digitales de conmutación automática totalmente electrónicas y controladas por ordenador, la práctica totalidad de las actuales, que permiten multitud de servicios complementarios al propio establecimiento de la comunicación (los denominados servicios de valor añadido). En España: Sistemas AXE (de Ericsson), Sistema 12 o 1240 (Alcatel) y sistema 5ESS (Lucent).
 La introducción de la Red Digital de Servicios Integrados (RDSI) y las técnicas DSL o de banda ancha (ADSL, HDSL, etc,), que permiten la transmisión de datos a más alta velocidad.
 La telefonía móvil, que posibilita la transmisión inalámbrica de voz y datos, pudiendo ser estos a alta velocidad en los nuevos equipos de tercera generación.

Existen casos particulares, en telefonía fija, en los que la conexión con la central se hace por medios radioeléctricos, como es el caso de la telefonía rural mediante acceso celular (TRAC), en la que se utiliza parte de la infraestructura de telefonía móvil para facilitar servicio telefónico a zonas de difícil acceso para las líneas convencionales de hilo de cobre. No obstante, estas líneas a todos los efectos se consideran como de telefonía fija.

Cancelación de redes
Tal como sucede con la telegrafía (en Estados Unidos, la compañía Western Union clausuró sus servicios telegráficos el 27 de enero de 2010) el servicio telefónico analógico tiende a desaparecer. En 2018, ciertos países como Francia  y Alemania, anunciaron el fin de la telefonía convencional, cesando la venta e instalación de nuevas conexiones básicas y planificando el cierre y apagado de las centrales telefónicas conmutadas hacia 2023.

Las políticas comerciales modernas apuntan a la instalación de equipos que funcionan con redes de datos, bajo el sistema VoIP (voice over IP, voz sobre protocolo de Internet), combinando el servicio básico con otros tales como el streaming y el acceso a internet.

Funcionamiento del teléfono clásico

El teléfono clásico está formado por dos circuitos que funcionan juntos: el circuito de conversación, que es la parte analógica, y el circuito de marcación, que se encarga de la marcación y llamada.

Tanto las señales de voz como las de marcación y llamada (señalización), así como la alimentación, comparten el mismo par de hilos; a esto a veces se le llama «señalización dentro de la banda (de voz)».

La impedancia característica de la línea es 600 Ω. Lo más llamativo es que las señales procedentes del teléfono hacia la central y las que se dirigen a él desde ella viajan por esa misma línea de solo dos hilos. Para poder combinar en una misma línea dos señales (ondas electromagnéticas) que viajen en sentidos opuestos y para luego poder separarlas se utiliza un dispositivo llamado transformador híbrido o bobina híbrida, que no es más que un acoplador de potencia (duplexor).

Circuito de conversación: la bobina híbrida telefónica

El circuito de conversación consta de cuatro componentes principales: la bobina híbrida; el auricular; el micrófono de carbón y una impedancia de 600 Ω, para equilibrar la híbrida. La híbrida consiste en un transformador con tres bobinados, L1, L2 y L3, según se muestra en la figura 1. Los componentes se conectan de acuerdo a la misma figura 1.

Transferencia de señal desde el micrófono a la línea

La señal que se origina en el micrófono se reparte a partes iguales entre L1 y L2. La primera va a la línea y la segunda se pierde en la carga, pero L1 y L2 inducen corrientes iguales y de sentido contrario en L3, que se cancelan entre sí, evitando que la señal del micrófono alcance el auricular. En la práctica la impedancia de la carga no es exactamente igual a la impedancia de la línea, por lo que las corrientes inducidas en L3 no se anulan completamente. Esto tiene un efecto útil, cual es que parte de la señal generada en el micrófono se escuche también en el auricular local (efecto «side tone»), lo que permite que quién habla se escuche asimismo percibiendo que el «circuito no está muerto».

Transferencia de señal desde la línea al auricular

La señal que viene por la línea provoca la circulación de corrientes tanto por L1 como por L2. Estas corrientes inducen, sumándose, en L3 la corriente que se lleva al auricular. Si bien la señal que viene por la línea provoca la circulación de una pequeña corriente por el micrófono, este hecho no afecta la conversación telefónica.

El medio de conversación real es algo más complejo: a) añade un varistor a la entrada, para mantener la polarización del micrófono a un nivel constante, independientemente de lo lejos que esté la central local; y b) mejora el efecto «side tone», conectando el auricular a la impedancia de carga, para que el usuario tenga una pequeña realimentación y pueda oír lo que dice. Sin ella, tendería a elevar mucho la voz.

En la actualidad los terminales telefónicos son construidos con híbridas de estado sólido y no según el transformador multibobinado indicado anteriormente. Las híbridas de estado sólido, que se construyen con un circuito integrado ad hoc (como el MC34014P de Motorola) y unos cuantos componentes electrónicos, tienen una respuesta de frecuencia más plana ya que no usan bobinados. Los bobinados (impedancia inductiva) introducen distorsión al atenuar mucho más las señales de alta frecuencia que las de baja frecuencia.

Las híbridas de estado sólido se utilizan en conjunto con micrófonos de condensador y altoparlantes de 16 ohms.

Circuito de marcación

Marcación por pulsos
El circuito de marcación mecánico, tiene por función establecer conmutaciones rápidas de la línea telefónica, abriendo y cerrando un interruptor. Está formado por un disco de marcar, que tiene un resorte y un regulador centrífugo que mantiene constante la velocidad de giro del disco.  El usuario tensa el resorte haciendo girar al disco en sentido horario, y soltándolo después. El disco, cuando retrocede movido por la tensión del resorte, acciona un interruptor el número de veces que corresponde al dígito marcado, cuya cifra se corresponde con uno de los diez orificios que posee el disco, identificado de uno a nueve. El cero va a lo último porque emite 10 pulsos. La velocidad de generación de los pulsos, fue históricamente determinada basándose en el tiempo de respuesta necesario para que los sistemas de conmutación electromecánica operaran confiablemente. La mayoría de los sistemas telefónicos usó una velocidad de 10 pulsos/segundo.

El timbre va conectado a la línea a través del «gancho», que es un conmutador que se activa al colgar/ desactiva al descolgar. Una tensión alterna de 75 V en la línea hace sonar el timbre si el microteléfono tiene activado el «gancho» (si está "colgado").

Marcación por tonos

Como la línea alimenta el micrófono a 48 V, esta tensión se puede utilizar para alimentar, también, circuitos electrónicos. Uno de ellos es el marcador por tonos, que fue desplazando a la conmutación electromecánica gracias a varias ventajas sobre aquella. Tiene lugar mediante un teclado que contiene los dígitos y alguna tecla más (* y #), cuya pulsación produce el envío de dos tonos simultáneos para cada pulsación. Estos circuitos podían ser tanto bipolares (I²L, normalmente) como CMOS, y añadían nuevas prestaciones, como repetición del último número (redial) o memorias para marcación rápida, pulsando una sola tecla.

Timbre

El timbre electromecánico, que se basa en un electroimán que acciona un badajo que golpea la campana a la frecuencia de la corriente de llamada (25 Hz), se ha visto sustituido por generadores de llamada electrónicos, que al igual que el timbre electromecánico, funcionan con la tensión de llamada (75 V de corriente alterna a una frecuencia de 25 Hz, enviada superpuesta a los 48 voltios de tensión continua de la línea). Suelen incorporar un oscilador de periodo en torno a 0,5 s, que conmuta la salida entre dos tonos producidos por otro oscilador. El circuito va conectado a un pequeño altavoz piezoeléctrico. Resulta curioso que se busquen tonos agradables para sustituir la estridencia del timbre electromecánico.

Un error muy común es creer que el tono de llamada que percibimos en el auricular, se corresponde con el timbrado del abonado llamado al otro extremo de la línea. Esto no es así, de hecho incluso puede nunca llegar a sonar el otro teléfono aunque escuchemos el tono de llamada, ya que ambas cosas se generan por separado: el tono de llamada es una señal de 1 kHz introducida por la central telefónica, ya que la frecuencia de 20 Hz es inaudible.

Uso
En el año 2009, se estimaba que había entonces 1 300 millones de usuarios de teléfono fijo. En abril de 2022, se contabilizó 5 320 millones de usuarios de teléfono móvil,lo que equivale al 67% de la población mundial total. Los smartphones representan aproximadamente 4 de cada 5 de los teléfonos móviles en uso en la actualidad.

Contratación de servicios de teléfono

Para poder establecer una comunicación a distancia mediante teléfono  hace falta la activación de un determinado servicio en la red telefónica. Los costes resultantes son facturados al cliente del teléfono por parte de las compañías telefónicas. En estos contratos se mencionan las bases para los pagos, y la duración y los servicios ofrecidos por la compañía telefónica. Es usual por parte de las compañías telefónicas hacer ofertas que incluyen una combinación de servicios. Los contratos de telecomunicaciones se encuentran regulados por leyes de contratación. Un ejemplo de este tipo de regulacion sobre este tipo de contratos es el caso de España

Upskilling the next generation of procurement leaders.
A topic touched on by all our guest speakers at the World Procurement Congress was the education of procurement professionals and what skills they will need to become the leaders of the future.
There are many different routes into procurement, but to fill the CPO's shoes a new range of business skills are needed.
It was interesting to listen to AstraZeneca CPO, Ashley Readshaw's presentation on "Developing CPOs of the future". Readshaw himself explained that he hadn't worked in procurement before taking the reins at AstraZeneca two years ago.
Have a strong understanding of their businesses.
Can work effectively with business partners across the organisation.
Good at understanding business models – procurement people are ideally also general managers who understand the business.
Well networked within their businesses – networking, he observes, is a neglected activity especially by those on the lower rungs of an organisation.
Engaging – they should be able to both understand colleagues' requirements and engender enthusiasm in the same colleagues to support his/her own vision.
Innovation led –a "healthy dissatisfaction" with the status quo will be essential.
Driving process consistency– especially important given that, in reality, global companies have different management structures in the different geographical regions in which they operate.
Externally focussed – both in terms of understanding macro-economic trends but also the changing risk profile of a supplier base.
One result of developing this diverse range of capabilities is that junior procurement professionals will be able to undertake senior roles outside of the procurement function, just as people whose careers have been developed outside the procurement function make effective CPOs.
Next: World Procurement Congress: Unilever on growing true strategic procurement.

Pixelbitching with Lee and Clementine
Posted: January 21, 2013 | Author: Stefan | Filed under: computer games, zombies | 1 Comment
Lee and Clementine
I don't play a lot of video games, so I claim no expertise, but recently started playing 'The Walking Dead' from Telltale Games and thought I'd write about it. I don't know if this video game represents state of the art or not — I've played a bit of games like 'Fallout' and 'Oblivion' (video games that I guess would be called 'RPGs'). 'The Walking Dead' seems to be a kind of interactive story game (like Fallout) but is much more like a TV show that looks like a comic book than what I think of when I think of a computer RPG. And I don't know if this 'story' type of game is common or not; it's the first one I have played. I'm still reserving judgement until I play further, but so far there are both things that I like and dislike about 'The Walking Dead' game.
SPOILERS BELOW:
'The Walking Dead' game seems to be based heavily on the TV show (which I guess was based on the comic, er, excuse me, graphic novel, ahem — but I haven't read the comic yet). You start the game and you are 'Lee' (who looks and sounds like a young Richard Roundtree, but with circa 2013 clothes, haircut and language). 'Lee' is sitting, handcuffed, in the back of a police cruiser and is being driven to prison by a chatty sheriff's deputy. From the dialogue, we learn that 'Lee' (who is us) has been convicted of murdering a man who slept with his wife. We are given a choice of responses to the driver's questions, and the responses we pick (which range from polite to hostile) seem to determine what the people we are conversing with will say next and how they might consider us in the future. I'm only part way through chapter one (out of five) and haven't managed to get all the way through without getting eaten fairly early. Eventually, Lee teams up with an eight year old girl named Clementine.
Some events seem 'hard coded' into the story. In the first scene, the police cruiser we are riding in crashes and we are hurled head first into the zombie apocalypse. As far as I can tell, there is no way to avoid the crash or the encounter with the first zombies that follow it. In other cases, as players we can influence the course of events a little more. We can direct 'Lee' around the room or wilderness area he and the others are in and there are various objects (like weapons, tools, etc.), that Lee can pick up and use. Sometimes the game is frustrating since it will sometimes not allow you to use an object in a manner that the game designers did not predict or intend — a common problem for me with most computer RPGs. Also, the gameplay alternates between phases where you control Lee's actions and other parts where he just seems to go on autopilot. In scene 1, Lee picks up a shotgun and uses it to defend himself from a zombified deputy. He then drops the shotgun and runs away — keeping the shotgun to use as a crutch to help Lee hobble along on his injured leg or using it as a club to beat the other zombies are not options, a limitation of computer games which I find frustrating.*
Other 'characters' in the game seem have their own personalities — I suspect that if, as Lee, I chose to be polite and deferential to everyone in the game, that the 'nice' characters would respond positively and the 'mean' (or hostile) characters would take advantage. Similarly, if I make 'Lee' act like a dick in every interaction with every other character, they will probably soon all lose patience with me and I will fail to succeed in going forward in the game. The essence of this 'Telltale' game, in addition to solving puzzles (i.e.: you gotta find the keys to unlock the handcuffs on Lee's wrist before he can defend himself from zombies), is to choose the right approach with all of the different characters in the game. This makes it more like a TV show in which you can take part some of the time; other times the game just takes over and you just watch… which is taking some getting used to and I can't decide if this is OK or lame. Probably a combination of both.
Decades ago I remember reading a very enthusiastic article about programs like 'Hypercard Player.' 'Hypercard' allowed the Mac user to create groups of files that could be linked or sorted in whatever way the user wanted. The files could be words, pictures, sound files, etc., that could be linked to one another. Hypercard Player had the author of this article very excited because people had started to use it to write 'interactive fiction' (this was before the internet). Rather than a work of fiction proceeding as the author intended, the reader could decide where they wanted the story to go. People were sharing their 'Hypercard Stack' novels and the author of this rather gushing article felt the novel of the future had been born. To me, it sounds a lot like one of those 'Choose your own adventure' books. 'The Walking Dead' video game seems a lot like a more sophisticated 'choose your own adventure' book with better graphics and sound. According to my friend Kevin, choices you make in chapter 1 will effect play in later chapters, so, once I figure the game out, maybe I'll play it again and see how making different choices makes the game proceed in different directions.
I'm going to say a bit about the art since I care about such things. The characters and animation look pretty good in a clean, storyboard/graphic novel style. The faces look pretty expressive and they have kept settings and lighting fairly simple; I think to help the player concentrate on the expressions and reactions of his fellow survivors (since that is what you are supposed to be using to make your in-game choices). Everything is outlined in black, giving it the appearance of a graphic novel; the whole thing looks like an animated film. It's not flashy or elaborate, but they do a lot with a little; gore is usually more suggested than outright.
I had a lot of problems with getting the cursor where I wanted it when I first started playing — just trying to make Lee pick a shotgun shell up off the ground and load it into a shotgun would send the cursor skittering all over the damn place — but experiements with the mouse sensitivity helped solve that problem. I also don't understand what the keyboard commands are supposed to be — while Lee is wrestling with a zombified babysitter, I'm pressing Tab, shift, q, w, e, r, t or y, trying to get him to push the zombie away or kick it in the head. I did a little unsuccessful online hunting, but there is a lot of assumed knowledge in the video game community — perhaps most or all of these games use the same keyboard commands and everyone assumes that anyone with half a brain knows the commands, because my search turned up a lot of spoilers, but not specific help as in what key to press when in order to get it so that Lee can run away from the zombie and grab something to bash it's head in rather than just standing there saying 'No! Get away!' while I desperately press keys at random, hoping one of them will make Lee do some Kung-Fu move that will save his bacon. I bought it via Steam, so there is no instruction booklet. I'm think I'm close to figuring it out, but I don't know if figuring it out is worth my time. Damn; I suck at these video games.
* I accept that you can't have a computer game where it is possible to do 'anything' simply because everything that happens has to be provided for in the game itself; I'm just saying that this is a limitation of the medium I find frustrating.
"The Dungeon Master" Fiction in the New Yorker

"I know that he is strange and not as smart as he pretends, but at least he keeps the borders of his mind realm well patrolled. That must count for something."
The above quote is from a Sam Lipsyte short story called 'The Dungeon Master' about kids who play D&D. I predict that most of the online D&D community would hate it but I liked it. Sort of like a slightly less pessimistic Flannery O'Conner writes about kids playing D&D — or something like that.
Read more: http://www.newyorker.com/fiction/features/2010/10/04/101004fi_fiction_lipsyte#ixzz2HxwVhFsW
It's less about D&D and more about being a teenager and how teenagers can be really shitty to one another yet still think of these people who they are shitty to (or who are shitty to them) as 'friends.' Perhaps the turning point between 'teenagerism' and 'adulthood' is when we say, "Why do I still want to hang out with X? X always acts like a douchebag! I'm going to stop spending time with him."
I know some people are going to bitch up a storm about some detail or another that was 'wrong' in the story ("Can of strawberry milk? Strawberry milk doesn't come in cans! Totally badwrong writing! The author completely destoyed my sense of immersion with that strawberry milk in cans bullshit!"). Mostly they are going to hate the story because the characters in it are misfits. I kind of think they will be missing the point of the story, but, well, whatever.
Please try to enjoy.

OK, so recently we were in Miami and we went to a coffee shop/restaurant for lunch.* This was a tiny place with tables and a counter with baristas, a stove, espresso machine and a cook all packed in tight behind it, everyone working ass-to-elbows. It was clean and the food was good, but Miami is full of good restaurants so competition has got to be fierce and margins are probably pretty thin. It was lunchtime but the place was half empty. Hopefully they do better on a week day when the people who work in the area want a bite for lunch.
An older guy came in with two teenage girls; I assume they were his daughters. The girls had long hair and were stylishly dressed; they headed right out to the patio to sit in the shade as the man placed their orders. He had a big watch, a tennis player's tan, polo shirt with collar flipped up, Aviator sunglasses and a gold chain peeking out from a nest of graying chest hair — looked like he had money. He had what I call 'puffy' hair; like the dad from The Brady Bunch. He was one of these guys who spoke too loudly and was too familiar with people he had just met. In a voice obviously meant to be heard by all, he declared that he had just arrived in Florida from 'up North.'
"Welcome to Miami," the man at the counter replied.
"Oh, I live here every winter," the man replied. "I have two houses. We live up North in the summer and then come down to our house in Florida in the winter."
The man was boasting, so I guess the barista felt he should admire his customer's good fortune. "I would love to be wealthy enough to have two houses," the worker at the restaurant said. It was clear that he was an immigrant; probably Cuban.
"Yes," the rich man with the banker's haircut said. "I'm living the American dream! When I was a younger man, I decided I wanted a Ferrari… but just wanting a Ferrari isn't good enough; you have to decide you NEED a Ferrari. So I decided I NEEDED a Ferrari. Then I was motivated to work very hard and make a success of myself." All of this was delivered in a self-satisfied, much too loud voice, with the clipped, staccato delivery of someone who was very used to being listened to. Then he said the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. He looked at the Cuban kid who might have been an employee or an owner of the restaurant/coffee shop, but in any case was a person who probably had to work pretty hard to get by and said, "I'm living the American dream so that YOU can dream it." As if his being rich was good for everyone else who wasn't rich just because, well, it gave the rest of us poor slobs something to aspire to. How generous of him. To live our dreams for us.
Douchebag.
*This ain't journalism. Everything happened like I describe it, but I didn't hear it all and I'm not sure that I have all of his quotes absolutely word-for-word (although "I'm living the American dream so you can dream it" is a direct quote — Annie heard that part). But rather than filling you in on what parts I heard and what parts she heard, I just went with 'we.' Less accurate but better writing.

Recently laid off from work? If you live in Ontario, Second Career could be the right program for you. Imagine finally having the opportunity to retrain into the career of your dreams.
So what is Second Career? Second Career is an Ontario government funded program which allows individuals who have had an established layoff in their last position worked (on or after January 1, 2005), a chance to retrain in a college level program for up to two years. This program is set up to assist with training costs for up to $28,000 to support tuition, transportation, books, and other training-related costs. There are also possible additional funds for those individuals who have a disability or for those individuals who may require academic upgrading before starting their college level course.
Now that you know about Second Career, you may be wondering how you can go about moving forward with this program? The first step is finding an Employment Service office in your area and set up an appointment with an Employment Counsellor. The Employment Counsellor meets with you to better understand your work history, education and training, your skills, and what your interests are. By providing all this information, your Employment Counsellor, together with you, can make the best decisions in selecting re-training options that have good employment prospects for your future! Unsure what course to re-train in? There are career assessment workshops available that look at your skills, abilities and interests right now.
Once you have figured out what career you would like to retrain in with your Employment Counsellor, prepare and submit an application for financial assistance from Second Career.
Employment Service Centres in your area will be able to further assist you on this topic. You can search for your local service provider here.


Ryan A. Slayko, 40, formally of DeKalb Junction, died on April 11, 2015, in Wisconsin. A memorial service will be at the Russell Pilgrim Holiness Church on Sunday, April 19th, 11:00 am, Pastor Charles Colton officiating. Burial will be in Hermon Cemetery. In lieu of flowers contributions can be made to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
I am so sorry to hear that Ryan has passed away. He was in my second grade class at HDCS. I remember so many kids from that class. It was a fun year with those kids! My thoughts and prayers go out to Ryan's family.
I was not expecting to read something like this. I knew Ryan from school at Hermon Dekalb. We would hang out together at Frank and Marlene's with Tammy. He was a great person. I am so very sorry for his family. He will be missed dearly.
So sorry to hear of your lost Ed and family are thoughts and prayers to your family .


As mentioned last month: Rather than using salt to thaw pathways near planted beds, consider using urea or other fertilizers. This will be helpful to plants in the spring. Remember that fertilizers contain salts, so use mindfully. Gravel, sand, kitty litter and other inert material can also be helpful when mixed as an additive with the fertilizer. Read on for more of our November 2012 to do lists for zones 1 & 2.
Keep house plants away from chilled windows.
High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps have traditionally been used for plant, flower and fruit production in greenhouses and homes. They have been designed with enough violet, blue, and green spectrum to be used as the light source throughout all phases of plant production. The correct HPS lamps and plant lights can be used as your primary light source, helping get a jump start on the growing season and helping maintain happy house plants. The length of time the light stays on may be controlled by an electric timer.
Winter is a great time to assess your tool situation and see what you might be missing. Visit this link for a guide to buying pruners. Also, here is a brief review of the tool options available for pruning at your local Home Depot. We all know that the correct tools make every job easier. Depending on plant type, branch diameter and height, you will need one or all of the following: hand pruners, loppers, pole pruners, pruning saws, chain saws and hedge shears.
This Fiskars 4-3/4″ Bypass Pruner, designed for right- or left-handed use, has a loop handle to make lawn work easier.
Hand pruners can be 'anvil' or 'bypass.' Anvil pruners have a sharp blade that cuts against a flat anvil and are ideal for cutting small to medium size dead limbs and dry branches. Bypass pruners have a scissors-type action with curved blades that make cleaner cuts than anvil pruners. These are good for precision cutting around buds and tender areas on the plant and for "green" and growing limbs. They are also well-suited for thinning out hedges.
Loppers are long-handled hand pruners with either bypass or anvil action. They work well when you need a little more reach and leverage, and they're good for cutting thicker branches (usually up to 2″ in diameter). In recent years, tool manufacturers have been thoughtful enough to make 'telescoping' handles, which allow the user to adjust the handles for an extended reach. The downside of this is added weight to the tool. Some loppers also have a ratcheting feature that makes cutting through thick green branches easier.
Pole pruners, also called tree pruners, are ideal for high, overhead cutting without the need for a ladder. They use a rope and pulley system to make cuts to upper-level branches in a tree's canopy while you stay on the ground. Pruning saws are used for larger branches that pruner or lopper blades can't navigate. Pruning saw blades can be curved or straight. (I prefer using a 'cross-cut' saw. It cuts in both a forward and reversed direction.) The more teeth the blade contains, the more precise the cut will be. Large-toothed saws should be used for the largest limbs. Bow saws are good for making precise and fast cuts on large branches.
Hedge shears are used to shape and trim shrubs and hedges. For large-sized hedges or to make quick work of pruning shrubbery, consider power shears. Power shears use either electricity or gas and can make the job quicker and easier. For use on a non-fruiting shrub, like a Yaupon holly or boxwood, they can give you a nice tight effect. But for a hedgerow of forsythia or loropetalum – any shrub with a naturally arching habit — you're likely to create a 'meatball' effect, which is unnatural, to say the least. We suggest pruning wood the diameter of pencils with hand pruners, or loppers, for these and many other shrubs. It will allow the hollies to continue to produce berries. Research the appropriate time of year for pruning. It varies according to growth and bloom habits of each species.
Consider planting native wildflowers. This wildflower seed mix is made for the southwestern desert, but blends are available for all regions, and for areas that get sun or shade.
Keep studying and ordering seeds for next season's flowers and vegetables.
It is a good idea at this time to draw a rough sketch showing where all your plants were growing last year. This is invaluable when you are going through all those seed packets in the dead of winter.
While browsing for seeds, consider planting native wildflowers in 2013.
Consider the different kinds of sites you have. Try to gauge the sunlight in particular locations: does a spot receive full sun for many hours a day, is it shaded part of the time, or does the sun filter down through leaves to create a dappled light shade?
In observing your yard when some trees and shrubs are leafless, picture how much shade wildflowers will get in the summer if planted in their vicinity.
Also consider the soils. Are areas dry and parched, or moist and boggy? Are sites protected from the wind or exposed?
The amount and quality of sunlight received each day can be crucial for native plants. Wildflowers common to prairies and large, open meadows normally grow in full sun and will do best when they receive half a day or more of direct sunlight. Plants classified as savanna or open woodland species prefer growing in partial shade, with sunlight reaching the ground between trees. Woodland plants grow best in partial to full shade, beneath dappled canopy of trees.
Some flowers that grow in shady woods manage to get the sunlight they need by flowering early in the spring. For instance, trillium and hepatica love growing in humus-rich woodland soil, and they bloom quite early while the spring sun shines through the bare trees. Once the weather warms up and the trees leaf out, these plants enjoy growing in filtered shade. Since they can't just pick up their roots and move, they have arranged their flowering schedule accordingly.
Other major factors to consider when looking over your property are the types of soil you have, their acidity or alkalinity as measured by soil pH, and the amount of water they retain at various times of the year. Many wildflowers will tolerate drought conditions or relatively poor soils. Yet even these tough customers, such as the black-eyed Susan, will grow taller and more vigorously if planted in richer soil. In fact, you might decide to plant black-eyed Susan in an area with relatively poor soil, simply to curb its enthusiastic nature.
Beautiful Black-eyed Susans tolerate even poor soils.
When studying up on wildflowers and the conditions they like, remember that the same plant often prefers different growing conditions in different regions of the country. Many species that grow well in full sun in the North perform best in partial shade when planted in areas that have long, hot summers.
Wild plants are often uniquely adapted to their growing conditions, and they frequently do not survive a move from their natural habitat to the confines of the home garden. You should not dig up a plant in the wild for your garden. The best time for transplanting or planting wildflowers is usually when they are dormant, in early spring or fall. Certain species adapt better to fall planting.
Native plants tend to be quite efficient at reproducing themselves through seed dispersal and other means. In most situations, this is a desirable trait. But some native plants take this exuberance to extremes, so it pays to do some research and try to avoid creating problems down the line. Since a plant that's well mannered in one region can become invasive in another, it's best to get this information from your state Extension Service Office or Natural Resources Department.
Collecting seeds of wildflowers is appropriate, so long as you harvest seeds judiciously, taking only a small sample so the existing plant colonies will be able to reproduce themselves. Today, wildflower seeds and seed mixes are widely available for sale.
Growing plants from seed is more economical than buying mature plants. The main disadvantage is that many native plants require a long time to mature or even to germinate from seed. Also, the seeds of many species need pretreatment before they can be planted. Most often this involves stratification—planting the seeds in a pot and then refrigerating them for several months until the seeds are fooled into believing that it's time to break dormancy and germinate.
Unless you are patient and have some experience growing plants from seed, it's probably best to start your wildflower garden by purchasing your plants. The main exception is growing a wildflower lawn or meadow, in which case you can sow mixed seeds directly on top of the ground in either the fall or spring.

Ghostwire: Tokyo's Extended Gameplay Demo Breaks Down Its Dazzling Combat And Exploration
by Marcus Stewart on Feb 03, 2022 at 04:30 PM
Today, Tango Gameworks provided the first extended look at Ghostwire: Tokyo's moment-to-moment gameplay and the other activities players can get into throughout its haunted Tokyo. A pair of videos provides a walkthrough of the game's action, while a developer interview reveals the team's design process.
We already knew that the game's story is set after Tokyo's population disappears thanks to the arrival of dangerous Yokai, or spirits. You play as a lone survivor, Akito, who awakens possessed by a spirit named KK who imbues you with elemental powers. This power is called Ethereal Weaving, and let you channel the elements of fire, wind, and water. Executing these moves resembles a blend of Doctor Strange's spellcasting and Avatar: The Last Airbender's bending thanks to its flashy, elaborate hand gestures. Physical weapons complement your spells such as a bow and various talismans, and you can stealth attack enemies instead of blasting them head-on.
Among other features, the first video shows off Akito tango ability, which lets him fire a spirit tether to grapple and ascend buildings. We also got a look at corrupted, fog-covered areas players must clear out and surreal shape-shifting areas that evoke the psychological horror of Tango Gamework's previous series, The Evil Within.
You also watch Shinji Mikami and the Tango Gameworks team discuss Ghostwire's creation (including the meaning behind the Ghostwire name), influences, and whether or not the designers believe in ghosts in the developer interview below.
Ghostwire: Tokyo launches March 25 for PlayStation 5 and PC. Those who pre-order can play three days early on March 22 and get the Streetwear Outfit pack, Shinobi outfit, and Kunai weapon.

There is good news if you live in the state of Illinois and are looking to play poker online. The fact of the matter is that across the United States, you won't find very many poker rooms on the Internet that are regulated at any level. That's because for the large part, online poker sites do not operate in the country. But, there are legal ways in which online poker can be played as a resident of Illinois.
This page is dedicated to explaining how and why online poker can be legally played if you live in Illinois. If you don't think it can, you need to think again! Trust us, it can. And what's more, is that playing poker on the Internet can be done very easily as a wide range of great and high quality sites all over the world. Get the latest information on the laws in place relating to online poker in the U.S., as well as the safe and legal poker sites that are in operation for Illinois players to join, further down below.
Yes, Illinois players can legally play online poker. But no, there are no online poker sites regulated by the state which residents can sign up and join. So in that respect, Illinois residents are out of luck. Having said that, there are tons of offshore online poker rooms that welcome USA players like those from the state of Illinois. And with no legislation currently prohibiting Illinois players from playing online poker at these sites operating abroad, it's completely legal.
The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act is the driving force behind the ban of Internet gambling in the U.S., targeting the financial transactions for betting. However, the individual player is not a target of this law. Therefore, Illinois players who do choose to sign up and play at a site that allows them to do so are not breaking the law.
Any Illinois resident that is just thinking about joining an online poker room will want to consider SportsBetting above all others. That is because this poker room has a reputation of being one of the best, and very accepting of USA players including from the state of Illinois. The age to play online poker at SportsBetting is 18, but in Illinois that requirement is 21 so make you are of legal age to play.
Signing up is a breeze, and take a few short minutes before you can fund your account and play for real cash! Do this with a VISA branded cards, Bitcoin, or through a wire transfer service like Rapid Transfer (Western Union) or Money Transfer (Moneygram). Most deposits are instant, and will get you on your way to play legal online poker. A deposit bonus option is also offered, for a 100 percent match up to a $1,000 deposit.
In short, online poker can be legally played if you are living in Illinois. There are plenty of offshore sites that welcome American players at their sites. While there are no specific Illinois state-regulated Internet poker sites, that still doesn't mean residents can't play poker online. USA legal poker sites like SportsBetting and others ensure that those in Illinois looking to play some online poker will be able to do so. Online poker offshore is highly regulated, to ensure safety and security, so Illinois players can rest easy.
