A Birmingham bar is a metal bar or strip fixed to the hinge side of a wooden door frame to help protect it from forced entry. It belongs to the family of door strike reinforcers and contributes to physical security.

Door strike reinforcers significantly enhance the security of a door, as they make it much more difficult to use brute force to open the door.

A metal strip fixed to the locking side of the door frame for reinforcing purposes is called a London bar. The physical difference between a London bar and a Birmingham bar is that a London bar is bent into shape to go over the keep of a rimlock.

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Gold

Sound Blaster Audigy is a sound card series from Creative Technology. It is a PCI add-on board for PCs.

The Sound Blaster Audigy featured the Audigy processor (EMU10K2), an improved version of the EMU10K1 processor that shipped with the Sound Blaster Live!.

First Generation

The Audigy could process up to 4 EAX environments simultaneously with its on-chip DSP and native EAX 3.0 ADVANCED HD support, and supported from stereo up to 5.1-channel output. The audio processor could mix up to 64 DirectSound3D sound channels in hardware, up from Live!’s 32 channels.

The Audigy was advertised as a 24-bit sound card. However with some controversy, the Audigy’s audio transport (DMA engine) was fixed to 16-bit sample precision at 48kHz (like Live!), and all audio had to be resampled to 48kHz in order to be rendered through its DSP, or recorded from its DSP. As a result, the card did not support playback of individual audio streams at 24-bit / 96kHz precision through its 24-bit / 96kHz DACs, a fact that was not immediately obvious to those examining the spec sheets.

Creative later gave customers in the US who purchased an Audigy card 35% off a Creative product up to a maximum of $65 in a class-action settlement.

Despite being a high end card, the passthrough of Dolby Digital and DTS streams to the SPDIF digital out has issues that Creative does not appear to want to address since the product has reached its End of Life.



First generation break out box

Some versions of Audigy also featured an external break out box with connectors for SPDIF, MIDI, SB1394, analog and optical signals. The significance of the break out box was that it was the first physical sign that the “home studio” was for the first time becoming a mainstream market.

Note that Audigy card supports the professional ASIO 1 driver interface natively, making it possible to obtain low latencies from Virtual Studio Technology (VST) instruments.

Sound Blaster Audigy ES

This variant uses the full EMU10K2 chip and is, as a result, quite similar in feature set. It is only missing its FireWire port.

Sound Blaster Audigy SE & Audigy Value

The Audigy SE and Audigy Value are stripped down versions of the Audigy, with software-based EAX 3.0 (upgraded to software-based EAX 4.0 with a driver update), no advanced resolution DVD-Audio Playback, and no Dolby Digital 5.1 or Dolby Digital EX 6.1 playback. It lacks the EMU10k1/10k2 processor, instead using a CA-0106 Family chip. As opposed to the rest of the Audigy series, the SE is a low-profile PCI card.

Sound Blaster Audigy LS

Similar to the Audigy SE in that it supports neither hardware acceleration nor FireWire.

Second Generation

The Sound Blaster Audigy 2 (SB0240) (September 2002) featured an updated EMU10K2 processor, sometimes referred to as EMU10K2.5, and had an audio transport (DMA engine) that could support playback at 24-bit precision up to 192kHz (2-channel only. 6.1 limited to 96kHz) and recording at 24-bit precision up to 96kHz, thereby overcoming the single biggest criticism of its predecessor. However, the DSP again was limited to 16-bit at 48kHz, so all DSP effects had to be disabled to prevent harmful resampling. Audio using 96kHz or 192kHz was decoded directly by a section of the card known as “p16v.” For DSP effects the lower half (48kHz) of the stream was sent to the DSP and mixed with the rest of the signal.

The Audigy 2 supported up to 6.1 speakers and had improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) over the Audigy (106 vs. 100 decibels (A)). Audio output was supplied by the AC97 codec on the front outputs and I2S on the rear. It also featured built-in Dolby Digital 5.1 EX (which is technically 7.1) decoding for improved DVD play-back. A IEEE-1394 (FireWire) connector was present in all modifications except Value.

Audigy 2’s 3D audio capabilities received a boost when compared to its predecessors. Creative created the EAX 4.0 ADVANCED HD standard to coincide with Audigy 2’s release. The chip again can process up to 64 DirectSound3D audio channels in hardware. It also has native support for the free and open source…(and so on)

History

Cyalume was invented by Michael M. Rauhut, David Iba Sr, Robert W. Sombathy and Laszlo J. Bollyky of American Cyanamid, based on work by Edwin A. Chandross of Bell Labs in conjunction with Richard D. Sokolowski of Eh.M Labs. Other early work on chemoluminescence was carried out at the same time, by researchers under Herbert Richter at China Lake Naval Weapons Center.

There are several US patents for “glow stick” type devices by various inventors. The majority of these are assigned to the US Navy. The earliest patent lists Clarence W. Gilliam and Thomas N. Hall as inventors of the Chemical Lighting Device in October, 1973 (Patent 3,764,796). In June, 1974 the first Chemiluminescent Device patent was issued with Herbert P. Richter and Ruth E. Tedrick listed as the inventors (Patent 3,819,925).

In January, 1976 a patent was issued for the Chemiluminescent Signal Device with Vincent J. Esposito, Steven M. Little, and John H. Lyons listed as the inventors (Patent 3,933,118). This patent improved upon Richter’s and Tedrick’s design by recommending a single glass ampoule that is suspended in a second substance, that when broken and mixed together provide the chemiluminescent light. The design also included a stand for the signal device so that it could be thrown from a moving vehicle and remain standing in an upright position on the road. The idea was that this would replace traditional emergency roadside flares and would be superior since it was not a fire hazard, would be easier and safer to deploy, and would not be made ineffective if struck by passing vehicles. This design with its single glass ampoule inside a plastic tube filled with a second substance that when bent breaks the glass and then is shaken to mix the substances most closely resembles the typical glow stick sold today.

In December, 1977 a patent was issued for a Chemical Light Device with Richard Taylor Van Zandt as the inventor (Patent 4,064,428). This design improved upon the previous designs by adding a steel ball inside the plastic tube that when shaken would break the glass ampoule.

Millions of glow sticks are sold annually. According to Steve Givens 15 million are used by the United States Department of Defense alone every year.

From left to right:- (1) original, intact lightstick; (2) opened glow stick with peroxide mixture poured into a graduated cylinder and glass ampoule of fluorophore removed; (3) all three under UV illumination showing fluorophore fluorescence and plastic container fluorescence; (4) chemoluminescence of mixed substances in the graduated cylinder; (5) the mixture returned to the original plastic container, showing a slightly different (more orange) color of light emission.

Uses



Glow sticks providing Mir-esque decor at a party.

Practical applications

Glow sticks are used for many purposes. They are waterproof, do not use batteries, are inexpensive, and are disposable. They can tolerate high pressures, such as those found underwater. They are used as light sources and light markers by military forces, campers, and recreational divers doing night diving. Glow sticks are considered the only safe light source immediately following an earthquake, hurricane, tornado and other emergency situations due to the fact that they do not use any kind of electricity to work, and there is no danger of sparking. Because they do not have batteries or contain electrified filaments like normal flashlights, they are safe for use in explosive environments. Special glow stick formulas emitting infrared radiation are used in conjunction with night vision devices.

Entertainment

Glowsticking is the use of glow sticks in dancing. This is one of their most widely known uses in popular culture as they are frequently used for entertainment at parties (particularly raves), concerts and dance clubs. The first person to take a glowstick to a rave was Jimmy Trainer, he owned a shop which sold them for climbing uses and then one day decided to take it along to a party.[citation needed] They are carried by marching band…(and so on)

Pan Club Copenhagen

Pan Club Copenhagen (often just referred to as Pan) was a gay club in central Copenhagen, Denmark which closed in 2007 after having been in operation on various locations in Copenhagen since 1970. Pan was one of Europe’s biggest gay clubs and the biggest in Copenhagen. It attracted a large number of people, particularly in the weekends with Saturday being the biggest night. While people of almost all age groups came to the club, it was most popular with younger gay men and lesbians. It also attracted a heterosexual crowd, and in periods it was one of the more fashionable places to go in Copenhagen with many celebreties visiting the club. The club was originally run and owned by “LBL”, the Danish national organization for gays, lesbians and bisexuals. The place has since become a commercial venue and has changed owners several times. Most recently, it was taken over by three males, Munir, Rico and Sadi in 2005 until it closed in 2007.

The club had four floors (although not all floors were open at all times) for a total of 2 dance floors and 6 bars. The ground floor featured the cloakroom. The first floor (also known as Pan One) played mostly dance music. The second floor (Pan Two) featured primarily new and old pop music. The third floor featured a karaoke bar and a view over the dance floor of Pan Two. There was also a mezzanine between the first and second floors, offering a view over Pan One along with couches for hanging out. In the summer, one could sit in the open-air yard right outside the club. Britney Spears visited the club in 2004 the night before her concert in Copenhagen. During the last years of the club’s operation, the fraction of heterosexuals attending the club steadily increased. This generated negative comments from members of the homosexual crowd who, while generally being welcome to heterosexuals, also wanted to keep the place a gay club. In Denmark it is illegal to restrict access to a club to people of a particular sexual orientation. In September 2006 the club announced a new system that would require guests to show a member card before being allowed to enter the club. The member card was to be ordered from the club website. Guests would be admitted if accompanied by a card holder and tourists would be allowed to enter without a card. The club owners cited a growing number of heterosexual people entering the club just to get a look at the homosexuals, as the motivation for this measure. The member card requirement was put into effect on April 1, 2007. However, a few days later the club announced that it was shutting down, citing a decreasing number of visitors as the reason. April 14, 2007 was the last night the club was open to the public.

In the building that used to host PAN, a new nightclub, K3 opened in April 2007. It doesn’t cater specifically to the homosexual community but describes itself as gay-friendly. In August 2008, it was reported that the K3 club would be hosting gay parties under the name “PAN retro”, with the first party planned for December 28, 2008.

Canon 8-64 Super 16/16mm Zoom Excellent
Here’s a Canon 8-64 Zoom, excellent condition, glass is clean and clear, all functions are correct, purchased from Abel Cinetech about 3 years ago, maintained by them, used very little since purchase. Barrel shows use. In Arri PL mount, with front and rear caps. Please note: THIS MAY BECOME THE GOLD STANDARD COMPACT ZOOM TO USE WITH THE NEW RED CAMERA AND MYSTERIUM SENSOR. You can certainly use 35mm format primes with the Red cam, and 35mm format zooms - but the 35mm format zooms are very large and heavy - larger than the Red camera itself


X-10 Accelerated floppy drive

Date invented

1996

Invented by

Team: Martin Bodo, Bob Rosenbloom, and two programmers

The X-10 Fastcache Floppy Drive was a floppy disk disk drive that read 3.5″ floppies at ten times the speed of a standard floppy drive. It could read an entire floppy disk in about five seconds. The X-10 drive ran at 4x spindle speed and could write or read to both sides of the floppy simultaneously. Whenever the user inserted a disk, the drive would immediately read the entire floppy into its own custom 80188 CPU based proprietary controller card RAM. The drive used motorized ejection so it could sequence and cache writes. The drive was optimized so it could step fast enough to avoid missing tracks improving over the normal slow seek times on a standard floppy drive. The X10 Fastcache Floppy was offered for sale by Corporate Systems Center (CSC). It was priced, in 1996, at US$149 retail and US$100.00 OEM when standard floppy drives retailed at US$50.00. About 1,000 X-10 units were ever made.

“Slow floppies always bugged me. I saw that all the parts of a PC were getting exponentially faster, but not the floppy disk. That was the inspiration for the X-10 project.”

Martin Bodo, X-10 designer

Magnetic core memory, or ferrite-core memory, is an early form of random access computer memory. It uses small magnetic ceramic rings, the cores, through which wires are threaded to store information via the polarity of the magnetic field they contain. Such memory is often just called core memory, or, informally, core.

Although computer memory long ago moved to silicon chips, memory is still occasionally called “core”. This is most obvious in the naming of the core dump, which refers to the contents of memory recorded at the time of a program error.

History

The earliest work on core memory was carried out by the Shanghai-born American physicists, An Wang and Way-Dong Woo, who created the pulse transfer controlling device in 1949. The name referred to the way that the magnetic field of the cores could be used to control the switching of current in electro-mechanical systems. Wang and Woo were working at Harvard University’s Computation Laboratory at the time, but unlike MIT, Harvard was not interested in promoting inventions created in their labs. Instead Wang was able to patent the system on his own while Woo took ill.

Jay Forrester’s group, working on the Whirlwind project at MIT, became aware of this work. This machine required a fast memory system for realtime flight simulator use. At first, Williams tubes (more accurately, Williams-Kilburn tubes) a storage system based on cathode ray tubes were used, but these devices were always temperamental and unreliable.

Two key inventions led to the development of magnetic core memory in 1951, which enabled the development of computers as we know them. The first, An Wang’s, was the write-after-read cycle, which solved the puzzle of how to use a storage medium in which the act of reading was also an act of erasure. The second, Jay Forrester’s, was the coincident-current system, which enabled a small number of wires to control a large number of cores (see Description section below for details).

Forrester’s coincident-current system required one of the wires to be run at 45 degrees to the cores, which proved impossible to wire by machine, so that core arrays had to be assembled by workers with fine motor control under microscopes. Initially, garment workers were used.

It was during the early 50s that Seeburg developed the use of this coincident current ferrite core memory storage in the ‘Tormat’ memory of its new range of jukeboxes, starting with the V200 released in 1955. Development work was completed in 1953.

By the late 1950s industrial plants had been set up in the Far East to build core. Inside, hundreds of workers strung cores for low pay. This lowered the cost of core to the point where it became largely universal as main memory by the early 1960s, replacing both the low-cost and low-performance drum memory as well as the high-cost and high-performance systems using vacuum tubes, later transistors, as memory. Certain manufacturers also employed Scandinavian seamstresses who had been laid off due to mechanization of the textile industry.

The cost of core memory declined sharply over the lifetime of the technology: costs began at roughly US$1.00 per bit and eventually approached roughly US$0.01 per bit. Core was in turn replaced by integrated silicon RAM chips in the 1970s.

Dr. Wang’s patent was not granted until 1955, and by that time core was already in use. This started a long series of lawsuits, which eventually ended when IBM paid Wang several million dollars to buy the patent outright. Wang used the funds to greatly increase the size of Wang Laboratories which he co-founded with Dr. Ge-Yao Chu, a school mate from China.

Core memory was part of a family of related technologies, now largely forgotten, which exploited the magnetic properties of materials to perform switching and amplification. By the 1950s vacuum-tube electronics was well-developed and very sophisticated, but tubes had a limited lifetime, used a lot of power, and their operating characteristics changed in…(and so on)

Goal (sport)

I want to introduct something about Wood Fishing Lures.
Wood Fishing Lures
We produce many kinds of fishing lures. Such as wood fish, soft plastic lures, hard plastic lures, lead fish, jig head, spoonspinner, sabiki, and other fishing rigs.




Goal refers to a method of scoring in many sports. It can also refer to the physical structure or area of the playing surface in which a score is made.

The structure of a goal can vary widely from sport to sport. In sports where goals are the sole method of scoring, the goal is often a rectangle structure set in the center of each end of the playing surface. Frequently, there is a net to catch the ball or puck as it is sent into the goal. Some sports do not require the net within their rules while others do.

Other sports, especially those that use field goals, have very different structures. Most have a variation on the theme of goal posts and crossbars (frequently an elevated crossbar supporting goal posts with the object being to have the ball pass over the crossbar, rather than under it.)

Method of scoring

In some sports, the goal is the sole method of scoring, and in these sports, the final score is expressed in oals where the winner is the team that accumulates the larger number of goals in the given time.

In other sports, a goal is the primary, but not the sole method of scoring. In these sports, the goal is worth a set number of points, and there is another method of scoring which scores fewer points (often one point). In these sports, the score is expressed as the number of goals plus the number of alternate scores and the combined total of points with the winner being decided on total points. For example, an Australian Rules Football the score may be expressed as follows:

Sydney 10-4-64 Brisbane 9-12-66

In this example Sydney scored 10 goals (at six points each) and 4 behinds (one point each) for a total of 64 points. Brisbane scored 9 goals and 12 behinds for a total of 66 points. Despite having fewer goals, Brisbane won the game.

Other sports use a Field Goal as one of several methods of scoring. The field goal can be a primary or secondary score and is used when there are several possible scoring methods. In these sports, the object of the game is to score a greater number of total points than the opponent. Scores are expressed solely as numbers of points.

Structure

In many games, at each end of the field of play, there are two vertical posts (or uprights) supporting a horizontal crossbar. In some games, such as Association Football or Hockey, the object is to pass the ball between the posts below the crossbar, while in others, such as those based on Rugby, the ball must pass over the crossbar instead. In Gaelic football and Hurling, in which the goalposts are similar to those used in rugby, the ball can be kicked either under the crossbar for a goal, or over the crossbar through the posts for a point. There are other variants too.

The vertical supports are usually called Goal Posts and the horizontal top is usually called the Crossbar. Scores in these games normally require that the ball or puck be sent between the posts, under the crossbar and completely behind the goal line. The space under the crossbar and between the goal posts is colloquially referred to as the goal mouth.

In Australian Rules Football, there is no crossbar but 4 uprights instead. In Netball, a single post at each end of the court supports a horizontal hoop that the ball must fall through. While in Basketball, where the hoop and associated backboard was originally supported on a post, the posts themselves have been done away with in most cases, and the hoop and backboard now are suspended over the court from a stadium wall or ceiling.

In American football, especially at the collegiate level, fans flooding onto the field and tearing down the goalpoasts after an upset victory by the home team is a widely practiced - if dangerous - means of celebrating. In recent times stadium staff often lower the posts themselves to prevent spectators from taking down the posts if they see that fans are coming on to the field at the end of a game.

Goal-only sports

The goal is the only method of scoring in several games. In each of these cases the winner is the team that scores the more goals within the allotted time.

Association football

In association football (soccer), the goal is the sole method of scoring. It is also the term used for the scoring structure. To score a goal, the ball should pass totally over the goal line between the goal posts and…(and so on)

v?d?e

Faust is an opera in five acts by Charles Gounod to a French libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carr from Carr’s play Faust et Marguerite, in turn loosely based on Goethe’s Faust, Part 1. It debuted at the Thtre Lyrique (Thtre-Historique, Opa-National, Boulevard du Temple) in Paris on March 19, 1859.

Background

Faust was declined at the National Opera House, on the grounds that it was not sufficiently “showy”, and its appearance at the Thtre-Lyrique had been delayed for a year because Dennery’s drama Faust was currently playing at the Porte St. Martin. The manager Leon Carvalho (who cast his wife Marie Caroline, n Felix-Miolan, as Marguerite) insisted on various changes during production, including cutting several numbers.

Faust was not initially well-received. The publisher Antoine Choudens, who purchased the copyright for 10,000 francs, took the work (with added recitatives replacing the original spoken dialogue) on tour through Germany, Belgium, Italy and England, with Marie Caroline Carvalho repeating her role.

It was revived in Paris in 1862, now a hit. A ballet had to be inserted before the work would be played at the Thtre Impial de l’Opa in 1869: it became the most frequently performed opera at that house and a staple of the international repertory, which it remained for decades, after being translated into at least 25 languages.

Its popularity and critical reputation have declined somewhat since around 1950. A full production, with its large chorus and elaborate sets and costumes, is an expensive undertaking today, particularly if the Act V ballet is included. However, it appears as number eighteen on Opera America’s list of the 20 most-performed operas in North America.

It was Faust with which the Metropolitan Opera in New York City opened for the first time on October 22, 1883. It is the 8th most frequently performed opera there, with over 730 performances up until 2008. It was not until the period between 1965 and 1977 that the full version was performed (and then with some minor cuts), and all performances in that production included the Walpurgisnacht and the ballet.

Synopsis

Place: Germany

Time: 16th century

Act 1

Faust’s ‘cabinet’



Faust: “O merveille! … A moi les plaisirs”

Mhistoph (Marcel Journet) gives Faust (Enrico Caruso) a glimpse of Marguerite, and he signs the contract with the Devil, and heads out with him to experience the world, in this 1910 recording of the Act I finale.

Problems listening to this file? See media help.

Faust, an aging scholar, determines that his studies have come to nothing and have only caused him to miss out on life and love (Rien! En vain j’interroge). He attempts to kill himself (twice) with poison but stops each time when he hears a choir. He curses science and faith, and asks for infernal guidance. Mhistoph appears (duet: Me voici) and, with a tempting image of Marguerite at her spinning wheel, persuades Faust to buy Mhistoph’s services on earth in exchange for Faust’s in Hell. With Faust transformed into a handsome young gentleman, the strange companions set out into the world.

Act 2

At the city gates

A chorus of students, soldiers and villagers sing a drinking song (Vin ou Bie). Valentin, leaving for war with his friend Wagner, entrusts the care of his sister Marguerite to his youthful friend Siel (O Sainte Medaille). Mhistoph appears, provides the crowd with wine, and sings a rousing, irreverent song about the Golden Calf (Le veau d’or). Mhistoph maligns…(and so on)

Madras is a lightweight cotton fabric with patterned texture, used primarily for summer clothing — pants, shorts, dresses and jackets. The fabric takes its name from the former English name of the city of Chennai, India.

One style popular during the 1960s was called bleeding Madras. It used dyes that were not colorfast in a typically plaid design, resulting in bleeding and fading colors that yielded a new look to the fabric each time it was laundered.

The fabric is mentioned many times in the S.E. Hinton book The Outsiders as a favored clothing worn by the Socs, normally as a shirt or a jacket.
