Q: How to get fastreport memo value I have a hard time getting memo value from fastreport to delphi. I have a memo in fastreport with computed value and i want to get this value and send it to my delphi edit text.
I tried this code but the result is only text not a value
txtValue.text := TfrxMemoView(frxReport1.FindComponent('Memo3')).Text;

A: You can do as
begin
    // Get Text property
    txtValue.text := TfrxMemoView(frxReport1.FindComponent('Memo3')).Text;
    // Get Value property
    txtValue.text := TfrxMemoView(frxReport1.FindComponent('Memo3')).Value;
end;

If you want to concatenate two strings from Text and Value properties then
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
    // Set the Text property
    TfrxMemoView(frxReport1.FindObject('Memo3')).Text:= 'MyFirstString';
    // Set the Value property
    TfrxMemoView(frxReport1.FindObject('Memo3')).Value:= 'MySecondString';
    // Concatenate the strings and assign the result to the TEdit.Text property
    txtValue.Text:= Concat(TfrxMemoView(frxReport1.FindObject('Memo3')).Text,
                           ' ',
                           TfrxMemoView(frxReport1.FindObject('Memo3')).Value
                          );
end;


The Wild Blue Trek last October and climbing "Marinaio di Foresta" on Pedra Longa.
THE WILD BLUE TREK, SARDINIA – 2018 DEPARTURES CLICK HERE.
I think there are not so many trips where you can guarantee emotions and unique experiences since the beginning, certainly The Wild Blue Trek is one of these. It is a guarantee of quality and also of success, why? Should I have to be honest? Tell me about another adventure trip where the weather is almost always perfect, and every day you hike, climb, jump in the water and sleep under the stars in crazy places. That's the essence of the Wild Blue Trek.
In two weeks back in October I got only half a day of bad weather, for the rest it was always sunny, sometimes a bit too hot (if I drink 2 liters of water a day, it means you really sweat!). What I bring in from these Wild Blue Trek is the happiness of those I've been guiding, I'm thinking of these 60+ years old guys, who had never rock climbed in their lives, never slept outside on a sleeping bag, yet they enjoyed every single moment of the Wild Blue Trek, no matter if it was a fun moment or a tough one there was always a nice smile in their faces.
The Wild Blue Trek, day5. Climbing the steel chained pitch of Mount Plummare.
Below you will find many images from the trip that will take you into this adventure, but the Wild Blue Trek is an trip that deserves to be experienced firsthand, remember this.
I have also added some pictures from a nicemorning at Pedra Longa, together with Marta, where we climbed "Marinaio di Foresta", a beautiful multipitch climb that is perfect if you have just few hours off. If I can add something more than what's written on PlanetMountain, the rock in the first pitch is not completely solid, so I would recommend to move carefully as the bolts here and along all the pitches is quite "airy" for these grades (keep an eye if you're not very solid at climbing 6a..).
Lungo il traverso a metà via di "Marinaio di Foresta", Pedra Longa.
The quality of the rock then improves and already from the third pitch is beautiful, bomber in the last two. As a last thing, I do not understand why people use chalk here, even though the sun is melting you down the rock is so sharp and aggressive that you can't slip at all.
Don't miss this route if you're passing by Santa Maria, it could also be an option on a Wild Blue Trek early in the morning before driving to the airport in Cagliari.

Building and shaping your body in order to gain as much muscle as possible. That is basically what bodybuilding is. Not every person who is fond of strength training is a body builder. And not everybody builder sticks to strictly strength training.
Body building became very popular in the United States, in Santa Monica on 'Muscle Beach', where men like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dave Draper worked out fanatically. In the Netherlands, body building doesn't automatically ring a positive bell, but body building entails a lot more than many people think.
It's all about working on your perfect body. Opposed to strength training, body building doesn't aim at improving certain skills. Carrying out the exercises is done to reach the highest possible hypertrophy.
The difference between strength training and body building is defined by the ultimate objective. At body building the main goal is increasing the muscle; increasing muscle mass and making the muscles bigger. This goal is reached by working out and specific diet.
Opposed to strength training, body building doesn't aim at improving certain skills. Carrying out the exercises is done to reach the highest possible hypertrophy.
For strength training working out with heavy weights is part of a bigger goal. It is focused on generally getting stronger and obtaining a more athletic body, although specific goals can be set as well. An ice skater of speed cyclist usually uses strength training to increase the muscle strength in the legs, so he or she can skate of cycle faster.
At the VU Sports Centre you can get the guidance of skilled fitness instructors, so you can work on a stronger body and increased muscles.
Would you like to try this class? No problem – all new members can try one day of activities from our sports portfolio, entirely free! So, come and try it out! To do so, please register at the reception at either one of our two locations. Maximum one free day pass per person.

I A big idea for the Middle East?
I sat down with a former inhabitant of Tripoli, Lebanon, who is depressed about the situation in the Middle East. We agreed easily that the situation was not only a mess, but hopeless. He asked me if I had a big idea for the Middle East, because that was lacking.
I 1. I told him that if I had some advice to give to somebody who had any power, I would put it in the way of an underlying strategy, rather than as a big idea. I would prefer a policy of faits accomplis rather than declarations. The strategy would be very simple to understand and be tactically opportunistic.
My main intention would be to involve Europe (the European Union and NATO) in the power game of the Middle East with the intention to pacify the region.
My main instrument would be to create friends of Europe in the Middle East, and support these friends in every way possible, but especially with a commitment to the long term.
In return for the European friendship these friends would have to commit to certain conditions. Especially minority rights are important here, because most of the troubles of the Middle East start from there.
This strategy is beyond the immediate possibilities of the European Union, but could be tactically implemented by solutions ad hoc over the next ten years. It would imply the creation of European special forces and institutions for the Middle East.
The relations with America, Russia and the United Nations would be monitored in the light of this strategy.
I 2. Strategy
a. Lebanon should be turned into a friend of Europe, not in name, but in practice. It should not be excluded that it would become a member of the European Union.
The frontiers of Lebanon should be guaranteed by the European Union and a common defense of these frontiers should be implemented.
In return for this external shield, the Lebanon should respect and implement equal rights for all its minorities.
b. Israel should be turned into a friend of Europe, not in name but in practice. It should not be excluded that it could become a member of the European Union.
In return for this a one state solution should be accepted on the condition that Israel would respect and implement equal rights for all its minorities.
Internal arrangements could replace the Palestinian Authority. Gaza would be neutralized and perhaps become a temporary protectorate of the European Union, with a European army in place to prevent any military attacks from Gaza.
Israel would have to accept the reality that it is better to have a good neighbor (Europe) than a far friend (America).
If this settlement would be fully implemented NATO could guarantee the frontiers of Israel.
c. Syria would not be considered a friend of Europe but a buffer-zone between conflicting interests. The priority would be to freeze the conflicts there. Minorities should be given safe havens, under the military shield of the European Union.
A policy of faits accomplis could include the creation of military zones under the control of the European Union. To these zones the refugees in Turkey and Europe could return.
d. Turkey should become a friend of Europe, not in name but in practice. It should not be excluded that it would become a member of the European Union. The European Union should fully implement a common shield with Turkey within NATO.
In return for this European friendship Turkey should fully implement equality for its minorities, especially the Kurdish minority. It should settle the Armenian and Cyprus question.
e. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq should not be included as Friends of Europe and good relations should much depend on the attitude of these nation to their minorities, especially the Copts and the Kurds.
f. In the Maghreb Tunisia should be considered in the same way as Lebanon in the Middle East.
g. Certain states and minorities who would behave as enemies of Europe would be treated as such, for instance the Caliphate in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
h. The political control of the Mediterranean Sea would be a priority for the European Union.
II A European Strategy, criticism and response
The proposed strategy for the European Union, with the aim of pacifying the Middle East, has drawn critical appraisal among my political, military, diplomatic and other knowledgeable friends.
The criticism may be divided into categories:
II 1. Political Criticism
Criticism:
The European Union is in disarray. Both on the level of its institutions and at the level of public opinion. So nothing can be expected by way of its leadership in the Middle East.
The option of doing nothing has left the pacification of the Middle East in American, Russian and Iranian hands. The absence of a European presence makes these into the de facto powers that decide in the Middle East. Also indirectly the future of Europe. It leaves Europe the victim of its inertia by having to react defensively to terrorism, refugees, civil wars.
A lack of leadership by the European Union will lead to disaffection of European public opinion and a rise of nationalist and populist movements. The paralysis of the European Union will split Europe and make it succumb even more to outside influences.
The option of doing nothing is basically a prescription for defeat.
In the Middle East nobody will listen to the wishes of the European Union, even if the European leadership and strategy is there.
The present situation is a result of the absence of the European Union as a pacifying actor in the Middle East.
The feeble interventions of European nations in providing humanitarian help, development aid, and ineffective military measures have made Europe a laughing stock in the Middle East. What is worst, it does not even create friends.
The presence of Europe in the Middle East can only be effective if there is a consistent strategy which makes it clear on what condition a state becomes a friend or an enemy of Europe. These conditions should have political, military and diplomatic consequences. It is up to the states of the Middle East to make this choice.
The choice is based on the readiness to stop making civil wars and respect the equal rights of minorities.
Those that declare war on the European Union, like Daesh, shall be treated as enemies.
The lack of influence argument is circular: absence creates lack of influence which creates absence. This is a defeatist view.
Even if the European Union would have the power to influence the pacification of the Middle East, what would be in there for the participants in the civil wars of the Middle East?
The states would be safe in their present boundaries. The minorities would be safe. Interstate wars would be impossible. The main menaces would come from outside the Middle East.
Certain states could adhere to the European Union and NATO after the pacification is fully achieved.
II 2. Military criticism
The European Union has no army and is fully dependent on the United States for waging war.
The pacification strategy is not contrary to and can even be adopted by NATO. There is no objection to a more active role of Europe in NATO.
The USA is not directly involved by its interests in the Middle East, like it is with Russia and China.
The potential capacity of pooling European military forces in a Middle Eastern intervention force is great. What is lacking is a common strategy, a common leadership, and common military means.
The long-term view implies the possibility of independent intervention by the European Union to pacify the Middle East. A short term view would accept a coalition of the willing European states, especially Spain, France, Italy, Greece and core powers within the framework of NATO.
As to the money spent, the know-how, the industrial capacity, the military hardware are not absent in Europe. The main task would be to provide adequate forces over the coming years by focusing on a southern strategy.
Only after a de facto creation of a European Army (South) it should be legalized by treaty.
II 3. Diplomatic criticism
One cannot dictate states in the Middle East to become friends of Europe. The positions of Israel, the Lebanon, Turkey are not the same. Civil wars complicate the trustworthiness of partners. Certain states will always be buffer-zones. Diplomacy is also necessary with enemies.
Of course it will be the task of diplomacy to manage relations with friends and enemies.
The diplomacy would be quietly based on the strategy, without overreach.
The diplomacy would have a few guiding principles:
-peace between and inside states,
-equal rights and safeguards for minorities.
It should be clear that terrorism is an enemy of the pacification, both within and across borders. Taking sides in minority disputes should be avoided, but the establishment of canton-like federal structures is in line with the strategy.
The means of a common European Middle East diplomacy are basically there, but could be more focused, by the creation of a special diplomatic taskforce of the countries willing to engage with the strategy.
The diplomatic management of military bases and membership of the European Union should be discreet.
II 4. Other criticisms
The history of the Middle East has created dynamics which may wreck the strategy. The Middle East never forgets old grievances. Israel wants to take revenge on the Roman dispersal . Shiites yearly evoke old battles with the Sunnites. Theocracy resents democracy, the desert the town. Turkey denies its massacres of the past.
Nationalism was based on rejection of imperialism, Russian, European and Ottoman.
This is all true but not in the interest of the strategy of the European Union. They should be considered as hindrances, like the specific geographic character of the Middle East. One should adapt to them opportunistically, but not make them an excuse for inaction.

Last year I had the chance to visit Scandinavia and I'm still working through the various shoots we did there, but one of my favorites was of new Stella and her parents. Sweden was a pretty magical place and this little girl is lucky to live there and have the beautiful parents that she does.
Oh. SO lovely. Especially adore the breastfeeding shots.
Beautiful engagement work, absolutely love the emotion and fun captured. Well done.

HS2 triggers the final voyage for Australia explorer
Posted on 17th October 2019 by Posted in History — 6 Comments ↓
The remains of an explorer discovered during the clearance preparations for HS2 at Euston is to be reburied in his home town.
Earlier this year, archaeologists working on the HS2 project behind Euston station, discovered the remains of Captain Matthew Flinders, the explorer who is credited with giving Australia its name. He was buried at St. James's burial ground on 23rd July 1814. Following the expansion of Euston station westwards into part of the burial ground in 1840s, Flinders's headstone was removed and it was thought that his remains had been lost.
For a long time, there was an urban myth that Cpt. Flinders was buried under platform 15 at Euston station.
In January his burial place was discovered, and identified thanks to the surviving breast plate on top of his coffin, and that in turn triggered a request from the descendants of the Flinders family and the local community for his remains to be returned to the village where he grew up.
His final resting place has now been announced and he will be reburied in at the Church of St Mary and the Holy Rood in Donington, near Spalding, where he was baptised, and where many members of his family are buried. There is currently no set date for when his body will be reburied in at the church, however, the diocese of Lincoln has given consent to the reburial and the Parochial Church Council is working on the details of a suitable memorial.
This will be the final voyage for Captain Matthew Flinders.
Captain Flinders made several significant voyages, most notably as commander of H.M.S. Investigator which he navigated around the entire coast of Australia. This made him the first known person to sail around the country in its entirety, confirming it as a continent.
He is also credited with giving Australia its name, although not the first to use the term, his work popularised its use. His surname is associated with many places in Australia, including Flinders Station in Melbourne, Flinders Ranges in South Australia and the town of Flinders in Victoria.

Susan Cooke says:
Good to hear Matthew Flinders is going home. It's a pity so many other graves of our pioneers and also the Aborigines who were taken to England as curios are now lost.
Maurice Reed says:
I've seen the memorial to him at the front of Euston and wondered why it was located there.
Flinders Street Station to be precise, in Flinders Street. It is surprising that I don't know about this, or perhaps I have forgotten.
ChrisC says:
There is also a Flinders electorate in the State of Victoria that sends an MP to the Australian Parliament named after him – they name constituencies after both people and places down under.
There is a mountain range and a river named after him.
Colin Mansell says:
"This will be the final voyage for Captain Matthew Flinders"
That's what they said the first time they buried him……

Best Dentists in Cathedral Park, Portland, OR with Verified Reviews – Book Online!
Need to make a dentist appointment this week? Use Zocdoc to find dentists in Cathedral Park, Portland who take your insurance. It's simple, secure and free.
I am very nervous when it comes to dental visits. I walked in the office and the dentist himself happened to be the one to greet me: I felt very at ease. The hygienist was so gentle in demeanor as well as with her hands, both of which made me feel well-cared-for. The exam and cleaning were quite thorough, but not at all nerve-wracking. The office has huge windows across from the exam chairs, so that my view during my cleaning was the sky. This was a last-minute appointment with a practice I knew nothing about, and I am extremely happy about the whole experience.
What a stress free appointment! Dr. Kim and his dental assistant work so well together. I went in today for a crown and between Dr. Kim and his assistant I was never left alone. I felt I had his full attention and he was aware of my comfort level. His staff treats me with recognition and respect. I highly recommend Dr. Kim.

Don't Bet the FarmVille on Zynga
By Rick Munarriz Fool.com
Source: Zynga
Zyngais still in a pickle. The social- and mobile-gaming developer posted mixed quarterly results after Thursday's market close. The year-over-year decline in bookings may not have fallen as sharply as analysts were targeting -- and its adjusted deficit was not as large as Wall Street pros were forecasting -- but it's still moving in the wrong direction.
Yes, Zynga's milking more revenue out of its average user, but that's not much of a consolation prize when the herd is thinning out. Average monthly active users clocked in at 83 million during the second quarter, well short of the 121 million gamers it was entertaining a year earlier and the 100 million it was servicing during this year's first quarter.
Zynga's trying. It keeps throwing new games at casual gamers, especially those on mobile. It rolled outEmpires & AlliesandFarmVille: Harvest Swapduring the quarter and it has a rich pipeline of titles coming out during the second half of the year.
It still isn't enough. Zynga's guidance calls for a sharp sequential and year-over-year decline in bookings for the new quarter. It's eyeing $155 million to $170 million in bookings, and that's no match for the $174.5 million it scored in its latest quarter. Analysts were also holding out for Zynga to break even in the third quarter, but its outlook called for a small adjusted loss. We're nearly halfway through with the third quarter, so Zynga's disappointing guidance carries weight.
The future will be a challenge, especially as Zynga continues to shave costs that may improve results on the way down the income statement, but it will also make it harder to regain its winning touch.
Zynga was the undisputed champ of casual games when it went public at $10 a share in late 2011. Bookings went on to peak in 2012 -- and it's been reeling ever since. Zynga just isn't as relevant as it used to be. Turning to industry tracker AppAnnie.com to see how Zynga's latest releases on Android and iOS are doing on the download charts is a pretty sobering exercise.Outside of a couple of slot-machine gamesabout two dozen titles down on the highest-grossing chart, you don't see Zynga titles in the Top 50 of either platform. This isn't the same Zynga where Words With Friends, FarmVille, and Mafia Wars topped the charts.
Gamers are fickle. They have choices and right now they're just not choosing Zynga.

PROJECT, Virgin's iPad Magazine, Launched by Richard Branson
(Press Release) Nov 30, 2010—Richard Branson, Holly Branson and Anthony Noguera have launched PROJECT in New York.
PROJECT is the first global magazine app for creative people about creative people.
PROJECT goes on sale in the Apple App Store today, priced at £1.79/$2.99 per issue. An app that looks like a style magazine and acts like a website, PROJECT has been created by Virgin Group and Seven Squared (an award-winning multi-media UK publisher) working in partnership to create groundbreaking new media.
Richard Branson was in New York to herald Virgin's first foray in to digital magazine publishing— read his blog on PROJECT.
PROJECT is a monthly magazine that will change daily, hourly-minute by minute at times-to give its global audience of early adopters a month of entertainment for less than the price of a decent cup of coffee. It will encourage contributions from its readers, bloggers, anyone with anything interesting to say—it is a magazine that truly evolves, stays fresh and gives new undiscovered talent across the world a voice.
PROJECT has four key editorial pillars—design, entertainment, technology, and entrepreneurs. In addition PROJECT's international team of contributors will be blogging daily about news, design, film, fashion and technology.
Edited by former Arena editor Anthony Noguera, the launch issue's cover star is Jeff Bridges, star of the upcoming movie Tron: Legacy. The cover story was written by Christopher Tennant (editor, digital entrepreneur and author once described by PJ O'Rourke as a 'paragon of naked wit'). The groundbreaking cover shoot and videos were created by legendary photographer Warwick Saint, who has shot for everyone from Vanity Fair to Sports Illustrated.
PROJECT is art directed by award-winning creative director Ché Storey, formerly of Arena and Men's Health.
Anthony Noguera, editor of PROJECT, said in New York: "I must be the luckiest editor alive. To be given the opportunity to create a magazine that is completely unique and innovative, to work with like-minded journalists, contributors and advertisers who are just as passionate and excited as I am about PROJECT has been inspiring. I am proud of PROJECT. Proud of what we have achieved and delighted to have played a small part in determining what will become the future of what we as readers expect from the magazines of tomorrow.

Home Business Six weeks after, LCCI calls on FG to gazette CAMA Act
Six weeks after, LCCI calls on FG to gazette CAMA Act
The Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry has called on the Federal Government to gazette the Company and Allied Matters Act 2020.
It was assented to by President Muhammadu Buhari, on Friday 7th August 2020.
In a statement signed by the Director-General of the LCCI, Dr Muda Yusuf, it noted that the legislation and the subsequent assent were widely applauded by the business community.
He, however, wondered why it has not been gazetted six weeks after it's been assented to, as this was affecting businesses and the economy.
The statement read partly, "Six weeks after, the legislation is yet to be gazetted. The implication of this is that the formal copy of the law is not yet available to the public and therefore the law cannot be operationalised.
"This is yet another example of how bureaucratic bottlenecks could impede the progress of an economy.
"Ordinarily, and in line with the ongoing digital revolution and the
E- Government agenda of government, the law should have been uploaded on the federal government and National Assembly websites hours after the assent by the President.
"Being a major business legislation, the non-availability of the gazetted copy of CAMA 2020 has stalled many activities in the business environment.
"These are activities anchored on the new legislation. Additionally, the regulations that ought to be issued by the Corporate Affairs Commission on account of the new legislation have equally been stalled because there is no formal document to act upon."
Yusuf said the situation had created enormous uncertainty in business decisions which require the legislative anchor of CAMA 2020 to progress.
"As it were, a legislative vacuum has been created. The CAMA 1990 has been repealed, CAMA 2020 is yet to be gazetted, six weeks after assent.
"It is important that the bureaucracy works in tandem with the new normal of leveraging technology so that the desired outcomes of reforms can be achieved, and expeditiously too.
"The implementation of the E-Government programmes should be accelerated to make the public service smarter, efficient and cost effective.
"We urge the urge the National Assembly and other relevant agencies of government to expeditiously gazette CAMA 2020 and make copies available to the public," he added.

We were following in the footsteps of a dream created by the late Brian and Kathy Ray, extraordinary developers who were responsible for the Bale Port Douglas resort before their tragic and unexpected death.
Inspired by the culture and aesthetics of Balinese Islands, the open -air gazebo style entertainment space was well planned by developer and architect alike to suit the tropical far north Queensland location of Port Douglas. Needless to say, the "interior" materials, fixtures and fittings all held the same Indonesian influences. Solid teak was a great feature for all the handmade dining tables, chairs and lounge seating. Balinese artists and craftsmen were sought after to complete the developers artistic dream.

A prepaid card processing device for processing a prepaid card has a memory for storing information relating to an account, e.g., of money, and a printing portion on which the information is recorded. A prepaid card processing device has a reading portion for reading the information stored in the card memory; an input portion for inputting a charge amount of money for a transaction; a defrayal information processing portion for calculating the balance amount based on the charge amount inputted by the input portion and for preparing the defrayal information relating to the balance amount and the charge amount; a printing portion for printing defrayal information on the card; and a decision control portion for deciding whether or not the defrayal information is to be printed on the card by the printing portion. When the decision control portion decides that printing need not be performed, no printing on the card occurs. Thereby, the printing space on the card can be effectively utilized.
The present invention relates to a prepaid card processing device, and more particularly to a printing control device installed in a prepaid card processing device.
In recent years, prepaid cards are frequently used in place of money in retail stores in general, and therefore a prepaid processing device for processing prepaid cards is installed in retail stores.
Such a prepaid card processing device is provided with a reading/writing portion for reading or writing information relating to money stored in an account, a control portion for changing the read information on payment by a customer, a card printing portion for printing the balance amount of the card onto a record surface of the prepaid card (often called recording portion), and a printing control portion for controlling printing on the card printing portion.
The prepaid card is provided with a record surface for recording the use history of the card, and every time the card is used printing is performed on the record surface. Thereby, the owner of the card can confirm the balance amount of the card.
However, in the case that the payment amount per one time using the card is small and the payment account is frequently repeated, a problem occurs in that before the balance amount of the card is completely used, the record surface to be printed for recording the use history of the card is printed up so that no space remains for recording a new use history and the owner of the card cannot confirm the balance amount of the card.
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, an object of the invention is to provide a prepaid card control device capable of recording on the card, wherein every time the balance amount attains a suitable amount the use history can be recorded on the record surface of the card, so that the owner of the card can confirm suitably the balance amount of the card before the balance amount is used up.
In order to attain the above object, the present invention provides, in one aspect, a card processing device for processing a card having a recording portion on which information is recorded, comprising: input means for inputting a charge amount to be charged against an account for a transaction; defrayal information preparing means for calculating a balance amount based on the charge amount inputted by the input means and a previous balance amount, and for preparing defrayal information relating to the balance amount or charge amount; recording means for recording the defrayal information on the card; and decision control means for controlling whether or not a recording of the defrayal information is performed on the card by the recording means for a given transaction.
FIG. 7 is a flow chart of a second embodiment of the invention illustrating a processing procedure of a decision subroutine in place of FIG. 5.
As shown in FIG. 2, a prepaid card processing device 1 functions as a cash register, and a display unit 2 for displaying proceeds or the like is installed at an upper side of the front part of the device 1. An input device 3 where various sorts of input keys including 10 numerical keys for inputting proceeds is installed at the right lower side of the front part of the device 1. A storage position 4 of a cash storage box for storing cash is installed at the lower side of the device 1.
A card inlet/outlet port 5a for inserting a card C to the inside of the device 1 is installed at the left side of the input device 3 on the front part of the device 1, and a card inlet/outlet base 5b for holding the card C is installed in front of the card inlet/outlet port 5a. A card feeder 5 coupled with the card inlet/outlet port 5a is installed in the inside of the device 1.
As shown in FIG. 3, the card feeder 5 is provided with a conveying path 5c through which the card C passes, three pairs of feed rollers 5d arranged along the conveying path 5c for conveying the card C along the conveying path 5c, and a plurality of sensors 5e arranged along the conveying path 5c for detecting the card C on the conveying path 5c.
When the prepaid card C is placed on the card inlet/outlet base 5b and is inserted to the card inlet/outlet port 5a by a clerk of a retail store, the device 1 detects the card C by the sensors 5e. Thereby, the feed rollers 5d are rotated and the card C is conveyed along the conveying path 5c to the inside of the device 1.
A printing device 9 for printing information regarding the amount of money or the like onto the recording portion of the prepaid card C is installed between the feed roller pair 5d in the vicinity of the card inlet/outlet port 5a arranged along the conveying path 5c and another feed roller pair 5d at the rear side of the former feed roller 5d.
An information reading/writing device 6 for reading or writing information regarding the amount of money or the like onto the magnetic storage tape embedded in the prepaid card C which is usually used in a cash card or the like is installed between the feed roller pair 5d at the rear side along the conveying path 5c and the feed roller pair 5d at the furthermost rear side.
The reading/writing device 6 reads information of the magnetic storage tape of the prepaid card C and transmits it to a control unit 8 as hereinafter described, and also stores information from the control unit 8.
An outlet port 7a of a sheet R on which recording information of the amount of money or the like is recorded is installed at a rear side of the device 1. A paper feeder (not shown) coupled with the outlet port 7a and a sheet printing device which are usually used in a register, are installed in the device 1.
The paper feeder discharges the sheet R after recording by the printing device 7. Since the paper feeder and the sheet printing device 7 are well known in cash registers and the like, a detailed description is omitted.
The printing device 9 comprises printing head 9a for printing on the card C, a carriage 9b for holding the printing head 9a to move in the direction perpendicular to both of the conveying path 5c and the lengthwise direction of the sheet, a wire 9c connected to the carriage 9b for moving the carriage 9b in the same direction of movement of printing head 9a, a drive mechanism well known in printers and the like for moving the wire 9c connected to the carriage 9b in the same direction of movement of printing head 9a, a platen 9f installed in front of the printing head 9a for holding the card C, and an ink ribbon 9j hung between the printing head 9a and the platen 9f.
The platen 9f is disposed at an upper side of the conveying path 5c, and has a length more than the range of the reciprocating motion of the printing head 9a in the above-mentioned direction. The printing head 9a, the carriage 9b and the like are disposed at a lower side of the conveying path 5c. The drive mechanism moves the wire 9c, and further moves the printing head 9a and the carriage 9b in such an above-mentioned manner.
The printing head 9a is controlled by the control unit 8, and performs printing of information (which will be described later) at a prescribed position on the card C, disposed at the conveying path 5c, through the ink ribbon 9j. The printing head 9a is a head of wire dot type, and is normally used in printers and the like.
The ink ribbon 9j is wound on a pair of pulleys (not shown) and hung, and after the printing head 9a performs printing of a prescribed amount, the ink ribbon 9j is fed in the same direction of the movement of printing head 9a by a ribbon feeding motor (not shown) or the like as commonly used in printers and the like.
The control unit 8 controls the card feeder 5 to convey the card C to the prescribed position along the conveying path 5c, and while the carriage 9b is moved, the control unit 8 drives the printing device 9 and the printing head 9a performs printing on the card C.
When the printing head 9a prints a next line of the card C, the control unit 8 controls the ribbon feeding motor so as to feed the ink ribbon 9j by a prescribed amount, and it also controls the card feeder 5 so that the card C is conveyed by a prescribed amount corresponding to one line and is stopped. It also controls the printing device 9 so that the printing is performed by the printing head 9a through the ink ribbon 9j.
The prepaid card processing device is controlled by the control unit 8 as shown in FIG. 1, and the control unit 8 is provided with a central processing unit (CPU) 8a, a read only memory (ROM) 8b and a random access memory (RAM) 8c. The RAM 8c acts as a work area for performing various sorts of processing and stores data, and the ROM 8b stores various sorts of processing programs relating to proceeds or the like and programs to control various sorts of devices included in the device 1. The CPU 8a acts in accordance with the programs stored in the ROM 8b and data stored in the RAM 8c.
The display device 2, the card feeder 5, the sheet printing device 7, the sensors 5e and the printing device 9 are electrically connected to the output port of the control unit 8 in the card processing device 1, and the input device 3 is electrically connected to the input port of the control unit 8. The information reading/writing device 6 and a storage device 10 as hereinafter described are electrically connected to the control unit 8, and information is inputted and outputted mutually between these devices 6, 10 and the control unit 8.
The storage device 10 as information storage means constituted by a magnetic disk device is installed within the card control device 1. The storage device 10 stores information about the registration number of the prepaid card C and the balance amount, data used by the control unit 8 during performing various sorts of operations, and a plurality (e.g., 15 pieces as shown in FIG. 6) of decision data Q.sub.1 -Q.sub.15 which are reference balance amounts to be used in the decision whether or not the printing of the defrayal information as hereinafter described is performed on the card C.
Next, operation of the prepaid card processing device will be described.
In this case, the information recorded in the magnetic storage tape recording portion of the prepaid card C used in the embodiment is registration number data, as well as the maximum line number data Y capable of being printed on the recording portion of the card C, the already printed line number data (y) indicating the number of lines already printed on the recording portion of the card C, and the decision upper limit address Z indicating the upper limit of the address of the decision data Q.sub.1 -Q.sub.15 to be used in the printing decision.
An example is now described. The maximum line number Y capable of being printed on the card C is 15 lines and one line is used in each printing. The card C is initially in a non-used state, and the contract amount, for example, ten thousand yen is the balance amount A. The already printed line number (y) is set to y=0 (no printing has occurred) and the decision upper limit address Z is set to Z=15.
When the power source of the card control device 1 is turned on, the control unit 8 accesses the storage device 10, and as shown in FIG. 6, the decision data Q.sub.1 -Q.sub.15 to be used in the print decision are transferred from the storage device 10 to the decision data region 11 of the RAM 8c (The addresses of the region shall be made 1-15.). In this case, the decision data Q.sub.1 -Q.sub.15 are entered in sequence from the smallest value to the lower address side of the decision data region 11, and the operation of preparing the control unit 8 is completed.
The payment accounting is performed in accordance with a flow chart shown in FIG. 4. The prepaid card C possessed by the customer is placed onto the card inlet/outlet base 5b by the clerk operating the card processing device 1, and is pushed from the card inlet/outlet port 5a along the inlet/outlet base 5b into the card feeder 5. When the sensor 5e detects that the prepaid card C is pushed into the card feeder 5, the control unit 8 rotates the feed roller 5d and the card C is taken further to the inside and moved to the information reading/writing device 6.
The information reading/writing device 6 reads the registration number of the card C as well as the maximum line number data Y, the already printed line number data (y) and the decision upper limit address Z from the magnetic storage tape of the card C, and outputs the information to the control unit 8 in step 1 (hereinafter indicated simply by S1, and following steps are indicated in a like manner).
The control unit 8 accesses the storage device 10 based on the registration number of the card C, and reads the balance amount A of the card C corresponding to the registration number. When the input key of the input device 3 is operated by the clerk and the retail price of the article bought by the customer is inputted, the control unit 8 adds the inputted retail price every time and calculates the total payment amount, and subtracts the total payment amount from the balance amount A of the card C already read and calculates a new balance amount B (S2). Assume that the new balance amount B is 8500 yen.
Next, the control unit 8 again accesses the storage device 10, and updates the balance amount A of the customer corresponding to the registration number of the card C into the balance amount B newly calculated (S3). Subsequently the control unit 8 drives the sheet printing device 7. Thereby, the retail price of each article bought by the customer and the total amount are printed to the paper, and the sheet R is prepared and discharged from the sheet outlet port 7a (S4).
After the sheet R is prepared, in order to decide whether or not the printing of the defrayal information is performed on the prepaid card C, the control unit 8 performs operation processing based on the series of the decision data Q.sub.x and the balance amount B in the decision sub-routine (S5). If a definite condition (to be described) is satisfied, the decision flag F as internal data is set at F=0, and if the definite condition is not satisfied, the decision flag F is set at F=1. The operation processing of the control unit 8 in the decision sub-routine will be described later. The control unit 8 decides the numerical value of the decision flag F in S6. In the case of F=0, the balance amount B is deemed to satisfy the printing condition and the program is advanced to S7. On the other hand, in the case of F=0, the program jumps S7, S8 and is advanced to S9, and the card C remaining in the original state is discharged from the inside of the device 1.
In S7, the control unit 8 performs subtraction of the already printed line number (y) into (y-1), and this (y-1) is made the new already printed line number (y). The new already printed line number (y) and the upper limit address Z set again in the decision sub-routine (S5) are written in the card C by the information reading/writing device 6, and data relating to the already printed line number (y) and the upper limit address Z on the card C are updated.
Subsequently, the control unit 8 drives the card feeder device 5 so as to move the card C from the information reading/writing device 6 in the direction of the card inlet/outlet port 5a. The control unit 8 calculates the printing timing at the midway of moving based on the maximum line number Y and the already printed line number (y) before the subtraction, and the card printing device 9 prints the balance amount B on the next line after the already printed line of the recording portion of the card C (S8). The card C is discharged from the card inlet/outlet port 5a onto the card inlet/outlet base 5b (S9), thereby the payment accounting for the transaction is completed.
In the decision sub-routine shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 8 performs a comparison of the new balance amount B with each of the decision data Q.sub.1 -Q.sub.z corresponding to the lowest address 1 to the decision upper limit address Z in sequence.
That is, the control unit 8 first performs the initial setting of X=1 as the decision data address X (S11). Subsequently the decision upper limit address Z is compared with the decision data address X, and it is decided whether or not the decision data address X exceeds the decision upper limit address Z (S12). If the decision data address X exceeds the decision upper limit address Z (Z<X), the balance amount B does not satisfy the printing condition and the decision flag F is set at "1" and the processing by the sub-routine is finished and the program is returned to S6 of the main routine shown in FIG. 4.
On the other hand, in S12, if the decision data address X does not exceed the decision upper limit address Z (X.ltoreq.Z), the program advances to S13. Considering the card C in the initial non-used state, since Z=15 and X=1 in this time point, processing of S13 is performed.
In S13, the control unit 8 compares the decision data Q.sub.x corresponding to the decision data address X in the decision region 11 with the balance amount B. If the balance amount B is the decision data Q.sub.x or less (B.ltoreq.Q.sub.x), the printing condition is satisfied. During the next accounting, the decision data is decremented to Q.sub.x-1 (lower by one rank than the decision data Q.sub.x used for the last affirmative decision in S13), the decision upper limit address Z is again set lower by one rank than the address X of the decision data Q.sub.x (S15), and the decision flag F is set at "0". The processing by the sub-routine is thus finished and the program is returned to S6 of the main routine shown in FIG. 4.
On the other hand, in S13, if the balance amount B is more than the decision data Q.sub.x (Q.sub.x <B), the decision data address X incremented by one rank (S14), and then the program is returned to S12 and the decisions of S12, S13 are repeated.
and then the program is returned to S6. If the balance amount B exceeds 9000 yen, steps S12-S14 are repeated, and at X=16, the condition of S12 is satisfied and the program passes through S17 and is returned to S6.
In the card C, since the decision upper limit address Z is set at Z=14, during next accounting, unless the balance amount B becomes the decision data Q.sub.14 =8000 (yen) corresponding to Z=14 or less, the printing on the card C is not performed.
According to the embodiment as above described, since it is decided whether or not the balance amount B of the prepaid card C after the payment accounting satisfies the printing decision condition, and only when the condition is satisfied is the printing performed on the card C, printing on the card C is suitably controlled and every time the suitable amount is attained the use history can be printed on the printing surface of the card. Consequently, such a state can be prevented that although the balance amount still exists in the card, a space to be printed does not remain on the printing surface of the card C.
Next, a second embodiment will be described.
In place of the decision method as in the decision subroutine (S5) of the first embodiment where the balance amount B after an accounting is compared with the preset decision data Q.sub.x in sequence, in the second embodiment, a ratio of the remaining line number capable of being printed on the card C and the balance amount B is considered, and the decision value as the basis of decision regarding whether the printing should be performed or not, may be varied every time in accordance with a definite formula. That is, a decision subroutine as shown in FIG. 7 may be used.
According to this subroutine, after the sheet is prepared (S4), the control unit 8 calculates the remaining line number (n) capable of being printed based on the maximum line number Y capable of being printed on the card C previously read and the already printed line number (y) (formula 1), and calculates the decision base unit T based on the remaining line number (n) and the balance amount A before the accounting (formula 2). The decision base unit T is multiplied by a number one less than the remaining line number (n) and the product is made the decision value T.sub.N (formula 3) (S21).
The control unit 8 calculates the decision value T.sub.N, and then compares the decision value T.sub.N with the balance amount B after the accounting (S22). If the balance amount B becomes the decision value T.sub.N or less (B.ltoreq.T.sub.N), the printing condition is satisfied, and the decision flag F is set at "0" (S23). If the balance amount B exceeds the decision value T.sub.N (T.sub.N <B), the printing condition is not satisfied, and the decision flag F is set at "1" (S24).
Since the printing to the prepaid card C is controlled in accordance with the decision procedure of FIG. 7, such a state can be prevented that although the balance amount A is much, the remaining line number (n) of the card is little. Also, when the balance amount A is little and the remaining line number (n) is much, since the balance amount can be printed relatively piece-meal to the card C, if the customer should like to know the balance amount as exactly as possible even when the balance amount of the card C is little, the customer's request can be granted as well.
The present invention is not limited to the described first and second embodiments, but may be executed as follows.
Before the prepaid card C is discharged from the control device 1, the balance amount may be stored as magnetic information on the card C.
The printing content of the card C may be the total payment amount during the accounting.
Series of the decision data Qx in the first embodiment may be stored in the card C, and the decision data having a value larger than that of the decision data Q.sub.M at the satisfying decision condition is eliminated every time of the decision and the upper limit of the decision data during next account is made Q.sub.M-1.
As another embodiment, the recording head is not of wire dot type, but may be of the daisy wheel or ball-type.
Also as another embodiment, the recording portion is not the rear surface of the prepaid card, but may be the front surface of the prepaid card.
decision control means for controlling at a plurality of decision points whether or not the defrayal information is to be recorded on said card by said recording means for a given transaction on the basis of the new balance amount.
3. A card processing device as set forth in claim 2, wherein said decision control means comprises a CPU, a ROM and a RAM, and the ROM is provided with programs for deciding whether or not the defrayal information for the transaction is to be recorded on said card.
4. A card processing device as set forth in claim 3, wherein one of the programs provided in said ROM is a decision sub-routine for deciding whether or not the defrayal information is to be recorded on the recording portion of said card by said recording means, said subroutine including means for setting a decision flag indicating whether or not a definite condition has been satisfied for recording the defrayal information.
5. A card processing device as set forth in claim 4, wherein when the decision flag indicates that the definite condition has not been satisfied, said recording means does not record the defrayal information on said card and the card is discharged from said card processing device.
6. A card processing device as set forth in claim 4, wherein said decision control means calculates a plurality of decision values as a basis for the decision of whether recording of the defrayal information should be performed, in accordance with a definite formula based on a number of recording lines remaining available for recording on the card and the new balance amount.
7. A card processing device as set forth in claim 6, wherein after calculating the decision values, said decision control means compares each decision value with the new balance amount after the transaction, and if the balance amount is equal to or less than the decision value the decision flag is set to indicate that the definite condition for recording has been satisfied, and if the balance amount exceeds the decision value, the decision flag is set to indicate that the definite condition for recording has not been satisfied.
8. A card processing device as set forth in claim 6, wherein said decision control means calculates the remaining number of recording lines as the maximum number of recording lines of the card minus the number of already recorded lines and calculates a decision base unit as the balance amount before the transaction divided by the remaining number of recording lines, and further calculates the decision value as the decision base unit multiplied by a number one less than the number of remaining recording lines.
9. A card processing device as set forth in claim 2, further comprising a sheet printing device for printing the charge amount for the transaction on a sheet in said sheet printing device, wherein after said sheet printing device prints the charge amount on a sheet, said decision control means decides whether or not the defrayal information is to be recorded on the recording portion of the card by said recording means.
10. A card processing device as set forth in claim 2, wherein said decision control means uses decision data for deciding whether or not the defrayal information is to be recorded on the recording portion of said card for the transaction.
11. A card processing device as set forth in claim 10, wherein said decision control means includes means for using data indicating the maximum number of recording lines on the recording portion of said card, and data indicating a current number of recorded lines on the recording portion of said card.
12. A card processing device as set forth in claim 10, said device further comprising a storage device for storing said decision data, said decision data comprising a plurality of reference balance values stored in sequence from a smallest value to a largest value in said storage device.
13. A card processing device as set forth in claim 12, wherein said decision control means compares the new balance amount with said reference balance values sequentially from the smallest value until (a) said balance amount is found to be equal to or less than one of said reference values, whereupon recording is performed, or (b) said balance amount is compared with a reference balance amount corresponding to an upper limit address, which corresponds to the largest value in the sequence of reference values to be sequentially compared by the decision control.
14. A card processing device as set forth in claim 13, wherein said upper limit address is determined based upon a remaining number of lines available to be recorded on the card.
15. A card processing device as set forth in claim 10, wherein the reading means includes means for reading said decision data from the memory of said card.
16. A card processing device as set forth in claim 2, wherein said defrayal information is monetary information.
17. A card processing device as set forth in claim 2, wherein said decision control means calculates a plurality of decision values as a basis for the decision of whether recording of the defrayal information should be performed, in accordance with a definite formula based on a number of recording lines remaining available for recording on the card and the new balance amount.
18. A card processing device as set forth in claim 2, further comprising conveying means for conveying said card with respect to said recording means and wherein said decision control means calculates a recording timing for the recording portion of said card based on the maximum number of recording lines on the recording portion and the number of already recorded lines on the recording portion while said card is conveyed by said conveying means.
19. A card processing device as set forth in claim 2, wherein the recording portion has a number of lines for recording the defrayal information, one line being used each time the defrayal information is recorded on the card; and said decision control means calculates a decision value as a basis for the decision of whether recording of the defrayal information should be performed, in accordance with a formula based on the new balance amount and the number of recording lines remaining for recording on the card.
20. A card processing device as set forth in claim 2, wherein the memory of said card stores a registration number, and the card processing device includes a storage device for storing information relating to the registration number and the balance amount of said account corresponding to the registration number.
21. A card processing device as set forth in claim 20, wherein said defrayal information preparing means adds individual charges of the transaction and calculates the charge amount, and subtracts the charge amount from the balance amount stored in said storage device to calculate a new balance amount after the transaction.
decision control means for calculating the balance amount based on the charge amount inputted by said input means and the balance amount information read by the information reading means, and for printing defrayal information on the card via said printing means when the balance amount attains a decision amount which is previously set or calculated based on the defrayal information.
decision control means for controlling at a plurality of decision points whether or not the defrayal information is to be recorded on said card by said recording means for a given transaction, said decision control means comprising a means for storing a program for determining if the defrayal information for the given transaction is to be recorded on the card, and wherein said program calculates a decision value as a basis for the decision of whether recording of the defrayal information should be performed in accordance with a formula based on a number of recording lines remaining available for recording on the card and the new balance amount.

The very same day and in the same Shinjuku district I've walked into a quiet oasis in the middle of hyper busy center of Tokyo - Shinjuku Gyoen Park.
Picture below has been taken with my mobile phone camera in the other hand - and is meant as an example to my "how-to" collection. Just to illustrate how can you take steady shots even without a tripod. This tree and the bottom-up view fascinated me, but in a given strong contrast difference of the dark tree and too bright sky, it become clear I would need to take at least three pictures to create HDR shot. While I had my tripod with me, even after few minutes of the manipulation I wasn't able to set up an angle I envisioned to have - so my super wide 11-16mm lens would be "laying" on the tree and all the details and texture of its beautiful "skin" would be leading into an image. Handholding wasn't option either: overcast, late sunset time and "story-telling aperture of f/16" to get the details of the foremost skin and the branches in the background itself required shutter speed between half to two seconds. So I've tried to created tripod of the camera and the lens itself. With live view on I've found an angle which I liked and where the side of the camera and the hood of the lens where touching the tree with a large portion of the surface - at the same time I've pushed hard (imagine trying to squeeze camera into a tree) and while trying not to move a bit I've fired the shutter three times in a row. Voilà - and as you can see on the very first picture in the post - it worked out quite nicely, right?
Hi Naomi, I am glad you like it! yes, this photo was finalized using HDR technique and I have used Photomatix software. But it looks like Aurora will be a perfect solution too. Have a fun!
